That's something that intrigues me.

Let's say you just threw 5 Tails, your chance for a Head keeps being 50%. Right?

But what if you consider next throw as #6 in the serie? Your chance of SIX tails is 1.5% (5 Tails have 3.1%), that would make a Head 98.5% likely.


No, because if you consider next throw as #6 in a row, you have to consider too that you have just threw 5 tails.
So, you have to discard from all possible combination of heads and tails those who don't start with 5 tails (ex: TTTHTH, HTTTHT, TTTHHH and so on).

This leaves you with two possible combination: TTTTTH and TTTTTT, with 50% probability each.
