Cool idea. The way the video explains how he used probabilistic models to simulate when an action is expected to happen doesn't feel the same as it actually happening (whatever tf "happen" means in a simulated game to begin with).

It feels like saying some specific sequence of head and tails is 99.9% likely to occur after 3 million tosses, therefore let's pretend that it did occur. Though I'm not sure where the game footage came from so maybe there was some legitimate game engine running or I'm misunderstanding.
