60 flips is pretty neutral EV discounting rake i think
and the variance is way less than doing 1 or 2 flips.

I hope you realise that there is no correlation from previous tosses. What averages out is profit/# tosses. Not the net win/loss.

Let's say you flip a coin two times. Both times the outcome is "A". Now, if you flip the coin again the chance of outcome "B", is much higher, around 66%.

This is true, i asked Jennifer Tilly and she confirmed.

When playing a real life game, you have to take in to account both effects:

1) "i believe that flipping this coin has 50/50 odds of each outcome so the next outcome should be 50/50, regardless of previous information"

2) "i have seen the outcomes be not 50/50, and should consider that perhaps my beliefs about probabilities of outcomes were incorrect."

You are joking right? It doesn't matter what the previous outcomes are, each time you flip a coin the chance of outcome "A" or "B" is 50/50 EVERY time.

The standard deviation is 8 times bigger with 60 flips, and your are more then likely to be +- 5units.
