Its a funnt thing, I also am stunned if I throw multiple times with a die and get the same number. But I think I read statistically is the same. Head or tails is 50% each time. And each outcome is just as likely as another. I hope someone here can explain this

Cuz yeah if im aiming at getting 8 tails in a row and I do, it feels lucky because the chance of getting that exact outcome feels like its smaller.

But someone here maybe can elaborate on this in a mathematical way
