With a single set of measurements, it is not the least bit surprising. It takes millions of games for the averages to work out properly. For any single match, you have an expectancy in terms of probability, but it may not be realized. Just get some pennies and get twenty of your friends. Have each friend flip their pennies twenty times and record what happens. There will be some funny sequences recorded.
