    In either game, 50 tosses would increase your chances of winning.

    The theoretical probability of flipping heads is 1/2 or 50%. The more times you perform an experiment, the closer the experimental probability is to the theoretical. This means that your average will be closer to 50% the more times you perform the experiment.
