Re: Is it mathematically possible to be unlucky?
The answer is YES given a large enough population.
America has roughly 300 million people.
The odds of hitting the bad side of a 50/50
28.15 times in a row is roughly 300 million : 1
Thus you figure if you got 300 million people together and presented each of them with 28 50/50 situations there would be 1 unlucky bastard who got the bad end of every one of them (over the long run).
The way to break your "unluckiness"? You really can't, you just need more trials, mroe and more and more and the law of large numbers iwll eventually balance things out.
