Default Re: Quit poker because of bad luck?

I call bs. I just did the following simple calculation in R:

> pbinom(240,1000,0.74)
[1] 7.039336e-239

Basically it is saying that if you are flipping with 74% chance the probability of winning less that 240 flips after doing 1000 flips total is less than 7.039336e-239. This doesn't mean that it is impossible but makes your story extremely not credible.
