Absolutely not, but if you flip it 99 times, regardless of what the outcome of those flips were, there's still a 50% chance that you will get heads on your next flip... that's how independent events work.

  • Yes i agree with that, but the stacking of outcomes decreases probability, ie: the stacking of voidfang decreases the probability that this was RNG

  • So let's use your coin flipping scenario. Only we're going to flip it five times. The first four flips we're all heads. There was a 6.25% chance of that happening. My next flip has a 50% chance of being heads. Which if it happens, would have fell in line with the possibility of 3.125% chance. If I flip heads the fifth time, which had a 50% chance, you would assume I was in some way cheating the system and intentionally causing the coin to land on heads just because my previous for flips were all heads?
