@jamairoqui I am sorry but those numbers are still not significant.
From your example of 30 coin flips, I think your number of approx 67% chance for the number of heads to be in the range 13-17 seems reasonable. But that still leaves 16% chance to get 12 or fewer heads and 16% chance to get 18 or greater heads. Those are still significant percentages. I wouldn’t be surprised in there was an 8% chance to get 10 or fewer heads.
You just had a bad day. I am sure if you try again in a couple of days you will get the complete opposite results. People tend to forget about the good days and just remember the bad days.
You really do need a lot more coin tosses to get a real feel for the percentages. Or perhaps a few players with lots (hundreds) of coin tosses. Completely independent results are always good. I am sure @burbman will provide some good numbers.
