but it seems like “I don’t know” doesn’t mean the same thing anymore, because you can play in a way that can better predict the outcome of keeping your life.
But you’ve changed things :-) In your situation you know a very important thing: that the probability p is the same for both throws. That is useful information which allows you to do some probability math (specifically compare 1 - p(1-p) and 1 - p^2).
But let’s say you don’t toss the same coin twice, but you toss two different coins. Does guessing (H,T) help now?

I understand now. Thanks!
