Every sequence of coin flips has the same probability. The coin doesn't know that you have seen ten heads already.

(except that in real life your hand flipping the coin knows that and can and will act differently. With practice you can influence consciously the outcome of the flip)

Yes, thats what I thought...but also the chances of getting a head in 10 shots is bigger then getting a head in 2 shots, otherwise playing only once in your life at lottery would be the same as playing everyday, but the financial cost is measured by unit, I mean, the price is by single ticket. Or I am wrong here all again and this is where I was wrong?
Sorry you maybe you made your comment before some edit I made, But I am grateful you have pointed out this, Thank You.

So, the Coin doesn't know that the last shot was a Head, Or the last 10 shots were all Head, and 0 Tails sofa, but.......
Someone knows...call it Math, call it God, call it The Universe, my friend, someone knows.
