u bet tails, u lose again. (- 2 units)

u then stop betting for the next 59 minutes until the next top of the hour arrives,

u bet tails and u WIN! (-1 unit), so u kept betting betting the next 59 minutes and came up +10 units (remember, -1 unit was your lowest score in that hour)

the top of the hour arrives again, u bet heads and u WIN 1 unit (so now you are up total +10 units), u keep betting for the next 59 minutes and came up + 8 more units (u are now +8 units up)

to sum it up,

you played for 4 hours
1st hour = lost
2nd hour = lost
3rd hour = win
4th hour = win



so, if 50/50% chances goes by time,then you can cheat lady luck this way?
There are casinos they size of city blocks that have been built with the money won from people who thought they had figured out a way to cheat lady luck.

If it is an unbiased coin flip with 50/50 odds any winning you do above 50% is pure luck it has nothing to do with how many flips you do or when you do them.
