The odds are exactly the same with every trigger pull. If you flip a coin and get heads five times in a row the odds of beads with the next clip are exactly the same as they were with the first one and all previous flips

According to Hellmeier, Hendren initially spun the cylinder and pointed the revolver away from Alix. But when he pulled the trigger, it did not fire. She took the gun and pointed it at Hendren, but again the gun did not fire.

Hendren took the gun back and pointed it at Alix, pulled the trigger and shot Alix in the chest. She was rushed to the hospital by the officers, where she died of her injuries.

They only spun the cylinder once.

The first pull was a one in six chance.

The second pull was one in five.

The pull that killed her was a one in four chance.

Not bad odds except when your life is on the line.

‘the odds of beads with the next clip’

I don’t know; seems to me if you’re flipping coins, the odds of getting beads with the clip is pretty darn low...

A coin doesn't have a finite number of heads and tails inside it.

Actually, with a revolver, the odds increase with each pull of the trigger. Up to 6 pulls on a six-barrel where you’re guaranteed a hit by the last pull.
