But probability also says, I could have a success on my first run? isn't it?

It's a lot more likely that you're struck by lightning or a meteor. So get your priorities straight and worry about that.

and even if you are EXTREMELY lucky and hit a collision , chances are there will be zero coins in it. Most addresses are used once ( or a few times ) and have nothing in them...
