Coin-Flipping Cowboys: The wild west of data science, lucky cowboys and picking your team after the rodeo is over

Luckville Rodeo has a coin-flipping competition. Apart from the bull-rides, the roping and the barrel race, there’s also a coin flipping league. 100 cowboys flip the coin 100 times each, and ranchers can place bets on their ideal teams based on different cowboy characteristics. Everyone has to place their bets before the coin flipping starts, don’t they? And the Sherriff is allowed to check the scores, right?
