Think of it like a math problem. Odds of guessing wrong:

once: 50%
twice: 25%
thrice: 12.5%

You might be overthinking it. If you're guessing, you're going to get some wrong; you can't beat the odds unless you can make it a little better of a guess.

50/50 is not great odds; but practice, practice practice! And soon you'll be 60/40, 70/30, etc.

Good luck!
