It highly depends if the coin is fair and or depends on the last flip (has memory). For example I can flip my coin and catch it so it’s always the same as the position as last time. There’s also a scientific paper that shows a flipped coin has like 66% chance of landing on the side it started on. So it’s not actually 50/50.
