What are the odds that a person would win six out of six coin tosses??

What are the Odds HRC really did the following? But several reports emerged that in the closest precincts, stray local delegates were decided in a simple coin toss. According to the Des Moines Register, local reports showed unassigned delegates were decided with a coin toss in as many as six precincts – and Clinton won every time.

PO2 Mark Saffell CPT Private RallyPoint Member sounds a little fishy or situation normal for the Clintons

1 in 64. Long shot, but, not unrealistic

PO2 Mark Saffell, when a Clinton is involved - a 100% chance.

In the history of the NFL, no team has ever won 6 coin tosses in a row. However, the NFL does their coin tosses in the open with cameras covering all angles.

I would say the odds of those six coin tosses all landing in HELLARY's favor are about as likely as sun rising in the west tomorrow!!! This woman can even inspire corruption in her volunteer workers!!! This nation has been screwed for seven years now. To think there are significant numbers of Americans who voted twice for the current fiasco who could very likely vote to succeed in continuing America's downward spiral is as frightening than this highly dangerous presidential candidate, herself.

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/64. That is the odd of winning six out of six coin tosses. :)

Here's a link to the story; there are imbedded links to the precincts (some with video):

Sometimes, Iowa Democrats award caucus delegates with a coin flip

It happened tonight in Ames, Des Moines and Davenport.

Odds do not change because of times flipped, the odds are the same for each flip. Side note, the odds are not early 50/50 they are something like 51/49, Anyway,
