Default Re: Teaching an intelligent guy about a basic statistics concept

Offer to bet him. Say you'll repeatedly. flip a coin, and every time it comes up five in a row heads or tails, you will bet on the same result for the sixth toss, as long as he gives you 11:10.

At least if you can't convince him you'll make some money.
