So does this mean, if you flip a coin 50 times.

Sometimes youll get 49 heads 1 tails?

Sometimes youll get 49 tails 1 heads?

Sometimes youll get 50 heads? Sometimes youll get 50 tails?

Or if you flip a coin 50 times, youll on average get 25 of each?

If so, and for some reason you are looking at 40 heads after 40 flips, wouldn't the odds that it will be tails be higher? or is this just only explainable with a catchphrase "gamblers phalacy" unless you have a PHD in mathematics?
