It actually increases like this, we will say heads is our choice for each toss. Expecting we always use a fair coin then the chances of heads after the first toss is 1/2. After the second it is 1/4, then 1/8, 1/16, and on the fifth toss you are setting at 1/32 chance of the toss coming up heads.
However, the the coin has no knowledge of previous tosses so it will always be 50/50 for that individual try. If this seems wrong I would refer you to the gambler 's fallacy or also known as the fallacy of the maturity of chances.
Bottom line is that I did go to public schools, but this is just basic math and I could be wrong.
