"Fair coins tend to land on the same side they started: Evidence from 350,757 flips" https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04153 "Shared by a team of 50 researchers, mostly Dutch, who flipped 350,757 coins to test a hypothesis put forward by Persi Diaconis, a former magician and professor of statistics at Stanford University. Their work supported Diaconis’s prediction that tossed coins are (slightly) more likely to land the same way up as they started."
