Okay Biardker, let's try it this way:
You flip a coin 100 times. What are the odds that AT LEAST ONE of those 100 times lands on a head?
If you tell me 50/50 than I give up trying.
Yes, it remains a 50/50 probability on EACH INDIVIDUAL toss, but the probability that AT LEAST ONE of the tosses was a head grows each time. It would near 100% at 100 tosses. | |

He's right: the probability does increase, but they don't just add together ... . |
