If you flip a coin, there is a 50/50 chance that you can call how it will land, correct?

Wouldn't my chances increase if I always called heads??
If so, what would the ratio be??
thanks
Would it change anything if the coin was being flipped in a video game at the start of a football game?
 
according to probability theorem (theoretically) the probability is 50/50, but practically it could be 100000 times that you get heads.
well you will have to understand that probability theorem works in a condition of infinity. That means if you through the coin for infinite times than the probability will exactly be 50/50.
 
Because theres more metal on the head side, your odds are better to call heads anyways, because its heavier on one side
 
its always 50-50. the coin doesnt know what you called. You'd still have a 50-50 chance if you called heads all the time
 
Well if you kept flipping and kept saying Head odds are your ratio would not add up too 50%.
 
no it wont increase

every time you flip it there is a 50/50 chance it will be heads, irrespective of what it landed on last time or what you called last time

if you always call heads you will get it 50% of the time, that's the same as if you randomly call heads or tails
