Answer:

Gambler's hot-hand

Step-by-step explanation:

This fallacy appears when individuals belief that in a small series the sample will be disproportioned to the actual odds and thus, not correlated. This means the person will expect a given result (heads for the first and tails for the second) will continue with a long-streak ("hot-hand")

This fallacy comes from people that state random small sequences will disclosure a higher deviation than greater sequences and thus, higher streak of one result over another.
