Would you be happy repeatedly flipping a coin with an opponent to gamble?

[razor5cl]

I will not be happy with this because the odds are even. There will be no winner in this in the long run and it will be stupid to play a game for money without any winner. I will rather watch TV.

How come is there no winner? You're talking about the possibility of loosing? Think about the dice games. Higher payout, lower chances. Lower payout, higher chances. It's the same 50/50 chance, but the trick is that you can 'choose the payout and chance to win'. There's no such thing. In the long run you'll loose whether it's dice game, coin flip or anything else.

Assuming there is no middleman taking any money out as "fees" etc, in the long run no one will come out ahead on average in a coin flip. Over an infinite amount of fixed bets between two people, they'll end up with the same amount of money on average as when they started. Of course this is discounting luck, but as we all know luck isn't consistent, and statistically there will be no winner over a large number of bets.

Ask yourself this:
Would you be happy repeatedly flipping a coin with an opponent to gamble?
That is exactly 50/50
Would that be better or worse than what you do now?

if it's online no, id rather play other gambling games than that, but if its man to man id be willing to
play and be happy with it. reason is playing online and flipping a coin is more boring than slot,dice game... ETC.
playing a coin flipping game with a real person in a real life is more engaging than playing it online.

For me its boring its just like the same as dice game but the problem in dice game lots of number unlike flipping a coin 50/50 tou will win or lose.. that game here in my country is popular and they are addicted in that game almost 5 players can gamble there.. with 3 coins they need to choose in 2 either front or back..

i find it interesting enough that i want to actually try it.
and mostly because of the 50/50 chance and only two results of head or tails unlike dice which has a lot of numbers.
i would like to try martingale strategy on that system to see how it is going to work on suck restuls.

i feel like it may not be that different but i am intrigued to try it out.

Well its a bit boring this way comparing it to other games that gives you half and half chance of winning. Personally I don't really feel this type of gambling, i'd rather play baccarrat or dice at least

[saiha]

Well that is going to be faster way of gambling just like dicing and it is going to be a good way if you are really an addicted gambler.

And if your hands are very itchy to gamble then you are going to do something just to satisfy your gambling needs.

This is going to be a good gambling substitute.

Flipping a coin is just like dice game. However, for dice game, you can choose the number of multiply as you like and you even have bots to help you auto gamble. You can try out different methods so it is more fun than just blindly rolling a dice. However, the more fun the games are, it usually comes with more house edge.

maybe for just fun, i will be happy, but for gambling hm i don't think so. i will not ready to lost my money for gambling although i know that percentage is 50/50, i will not happy. but maybe i will try it later, just want to try my luck

Agree, flipping coins is just like  dice games  but the difference in dice is you can set the odds as same as you said. 50/50 chance flipping coin game would be enjoyable  when you are  playing with someone/ people  because if its online then it would be boring, i would rather choose dice.

I get what the OP is saying but no I wouldn't be happy repeatedly flipping a coin to gamble. Whilst 50/50 it would be boring.

Not something I'd be interested in at all.
