It is “streaky,” as a coin toss should be (meaning there is a 6% chance to get four heads or tails in a row), but I get streaks of six or seven “tails” in a row (there is less than a 2% chance of this happening), and streaks of maybe three “heads” in a row (I’ve never seen four heads in a row). This is exactly the sort of behavior that you see in realizations of binomial distributions if the probability of each outcome is not 0.5 each.
I suspect that the higher up the leaderboard you are in your league, the less fair the coin toss becomes. Which is fine if they want to run handicaps, but they should be up front about it.
