Also regarding the "evening out," that reasoning behind that is that your total results will approach the theoretical amount. For example, you may have flipped 10 heads and 0 tails, meaning 100% heads and 0% tails. If you continue to flip, that proportion will (theoretically, at least) approach 50%/50%. (e.g. You flip another 40 times and magically end up with 20 heads and 20 tails that time. Your total is now 30 heads and 20 tails, or 60%/40%. You flip another 450 times and end up with 225 heads and 225 tails, making for 255 heads and 245 tails total, or 51% heads and 49% tails, etc)
