I fully understand that anything is possible but if you toss a coin 100 times and 90 times its heads, there is something wrong with that coin.

If you tossed it another 100 times and it came out tails on 90 of them...is there still something wrong with it?

What Law would this be then?
Toss any coin you like 100 times, once its hit any side 90% post the result. If you understand the Law of averages - you really shouldnt bother.

100 times is not enough to say that though.
Yes I agree there is a good chance there is something wrong with the coin at this point, it is by no means certain as your sample size is to small. Try it a few times, it is not unusual for a coin to hit one or the other 70 times out of 100 so 90/100 is not THAT much of a stretch.

If you understand averages, this is the perfect time to start calling heads cos it is so overdue. Get in heavy on heads over the next 100 tosses and you are almost guaranteed to clean up.

That"s just like declaring a poker site to be rigged because we have a bad run and lose lots of races! If you flip a coin 100 times, and it lands heads 100 times, it doesn"t mean the coin is rigged or faulty. The law of probability says that a coin will land tails as many times as it lands heads, over time... however the law of probability is not a guarantee that it will land either way.
Anyway back to the original purpose of the thread, I think the extended H4H on BOSS is a joke. :D

Unless the coin is indeed faulty, rigged, dodgy etc

I dont think any poker site that I have played on is rigged, but there seems to be sites that have far too many premiun hands far too often - is this down to RNGs? I dont know.
If you flip a coin 100 times, and it lands heads 100 times, it doesn"t mean the coin is rigged or faulty. Im afraid it does because this would never ever happen unless you use a dodgy coin.
