Both sequences are equally improbable, but they're two outcomes among 2^30 others. What you want to be comparing is the sequence consisting entirely of heads to all the other potential outcomes. If it is a fair coin toss, the chance of getting all heads in a sequence of 30 is 1/1073741824. So is the chance of getting any one other sequence, but not any other sequence.
