Assume the coin is perfectly fair. I'm just curious to see what more people will pick given the 10th flip is still a 50/50 shot.

It doesn't matter.  It's still 50/50.

Boy, this is tricky.  I think the probability is (8! * 41c2 * 10c2)/49!, where 41c2 = 41!/39!2! and 10c2 = 10!/8!2!  In this number, 8! represents the correct picks, 41c2 the incorrect picks, and 10c2 the number of ways to order the picks.\n\nFor exactly seven correct numbers in 10 picks , only a minor change is needed.  It becomes (7! * 42c3 * 10c3)/49!.  Follow this pattern for 6 of 10, 5 of 10, etc

The winner of the initial coin flip chooses whether they will kick or receive (almost all will choose to receive) the kicking team then chooses the direction that they will kick (Influnced by wind speed/direction)\n\nThe loser of the initial coin flip will have the same choice at the start of the second half (so both teams have a chance to start with the ball)\n\nIf the game goes into overtime, a coin flip will decide who will kick/recieve for all of the 15 minute period.

the quarter would jump first bc the 50 cent piece has more "cents/sense".

how much did you bet ? what was the point spread ? what was the odds ?? does it pay 2 to 1 for underdog teams ? if you just bet w/ some one else. say like i bet you 10 bucks this team would win. then you won 10 bucks. if it was a gambling site. then it depends on the points, spread,etc..

toss a coin and then see if the answer feels right --- if it doesnt than choose the other option \n\nmake a choice and move on

It doesn't matter a bit what numbers you choose. Your choice of numbers have absolutely no influence on what numbers are picked this week. Also, yes, odds are against the same numbers being picked 2 weeks in a row...however, again, last weeks winning numbers have absolutely no influence on what is picked this week. Pick whatever you want, it makes no difference whatsoever!

Which something?\n\nJust using roulette, a chance of winning on a single spin varies from 47.4% to 2.63% depending on which kind of bet you make: color, odd, even, a specific number, or a pair or quad of numbers, etc.\n\nFor some other event, to calculate the odds would require more information.

Correct, the payout would have to be $10,000 for every $1 played to break even.

The answer is one chance in 2^5  or 1 in 32.\n\nNotice that the chances are the same as flipping five heads in a row.

it depends on the odds.

It has a 1 in 100 chance of happening on the 100th trial, just as a coin has a 1 in 2 chance of coming down heads after a run of 99 tails. The coin has no memory. If these are independent events, i.e. the outcome of one does not affect another, then the idea that it is "due" to occur on the next trial or within the next 10 trials or 100 trials os just the wish fulfillment of observers. People lose a lot of money at roulette this way.\n\nIn the long run the event will happen  once in approx 100 trials on average, But there us no reason why it should occur in this particular set of 100 trials or any other set of 100 trials. There will be occasions when it occurs more than once in 100 consecutive trials, to "compensate" for those occasions when it doesn't show up at all.

Why throw good money after bad?\nYou can make the same money for lesser, in picking out the games where upsets are likely.\nEg: USA likely to hold or defeat the Czechs. 2. Tunisia to make Round 2. 3. Serbia to hold or defeat the Dutch.
