Everything has a 50 chance of happening Either it does or it doesn't

There shouldn’t be Ws and Ls, the significance of 14 in a row doesn’t matter if the NFC or AFC did it, 13 in a row after an arbitrary first one would be a better argument

So, 1/2^14 chance of winning 14 times? Am i right?
Comment from : Cole West

Wouldn't this be the case for iany/i specific sequence of 14 coin flips in a row?
Comment from : Joshua Evans

Maybe they used a double headed coin ??? Or a weighted coin ???

What numberphile has forgotten is that there were many unlikely events If the other conference had won 14 in a row, or 7,8,9,10 any of these would’ve been sensationalised Also if it kept flip-flopping between conferences every year or did three with one three with another five or six times What they forget is that unlikely events can become likely purely because there are a lot of unlikely events Maybe in another parallel universe he was talking about 13 in a row, or 15 or if every team that won the coin toss won or lost etc

Does the way we categorize these tosses affect the statistical analysis? For instance, the Super Bowl is once a year, but football is played quite a lot What does it mean for this sample if we take the number of coin tosses happening for all football games over the year? I can't think of a reason for the coins tossed in one game to differ than another, but does it carry that we can statistically say that? Or is it still special to say that a particular itype/i of football game (ie, the championship) seems to be getting an unusual number of coin tosses for the NFC?

And it was the Patriots that broke the streak, the same team that had last won the toss for the AFC And the Packers first and last for NFC Everything about this streak is freakish, dude

Every coin toss is a 50-50 change So every sequency has same likelyhod Having 14 heads in a straight sequence is not more likely or unlikely than any other sequence But there are so many sequence combinations that any specific one is unlikely
