If you repeatedly flip a coin, which sequence is more likely to appear first: HTT or TTH?

Believe it or not, one is 3 times more likely to appear first! pic.twitter.com/u2SR5BPmEz

In my last video, we saw that if we repeatedly flip a coin, there's a 75% chance that HTT will appear first in the sequence over TTH.
