Is the coin fair?

There are two simulated coins. One coin is fair with a .50 probability of heads. The other coin is biased with a .60 probability of heads. I will select one of the coins with equal probability and flip it each day and report the result. The market will resolve a few days after the 10th coin flip.

If the coin is fair, the market will resolve to yes. Otherwise, it will resolve to no. I will not participate in this market. Upon request, I will provide a link to the code I used to simulate the coin flips, but only after the market closes.

The outcome of the final coin flip is tails. The market will close tomorrow.

Is the tenth outcome real or is it in the description by some mistake? (You didn't write a comment about it unlike the others)

@StepanBakhmarin thanks for alerting me to the problem. The tenth outcome is correct. I tried to repost to followers but it didn't work the first time.

The outcome of the ninth coin flip is tails. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

The outcome of the eighth coin flip is tails. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

The outcome of the seventh coin flip is tails. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

The outcome of the sixth coin flip is heads. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

I'm cross-listing for those who might be interested:

The outcome of the fifth coin flip is heads. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

Unless there are strong objections, I will increase the update frequency to once per day. That seems to be the right cadence.

Give this comment a like if you want me to update this market daily. I will switch to daily updates if the like count is 5 or more.

The outcome of the fourth coin flip is heads. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

The outcome of the third coin flip is tails. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

The outcome of the second coin flip is heads. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

The outcome of the first coin flip is heads. See the description for the full list of outcomes.

When will the first flip be reported, and how often will flips occur? Cool market imo, fun

@PeterScheidt I'm glad you like the concept. I will post the result of the first coin flip tomorrow. My goal is to post the result of a new flip every couple of days to give the market time to converge on a value.
