Get 2 or 3 in play and almost never lose a flip again. Via Mirror Gallery of course to ignore the legend part.

I love how the 'Display Rulings' on this card just says something about you and you're opponent flipping coins at the same time, when I can only think of one card off the top of my head that would do that, and it didn't exist until M10 (Hive Mind)
The Display Rulings tab on Krark's Thumb should be 'Probability and Statistics 101' and be like 20 pages.
Either it doesnt do anything- and they never make cards that dont do anything. they make cards that do stupid things, but not cards that dont do anything.
Or it makes you the God of Luck who almost never loses a coin flip.
Mirror Gallery is dumb, because it unnecessarily complicates a card that is already plenty good as a 1-of.

I can't see how having multiple Krark's Thumbs would help you. The way I see it, there are two ways for Krark's Thumb to work:
1) It replaces each coin-flip event with an event such that two coins are flipped and one is ignored. So, to resolve this event, you start by flipping a coin (to be followed by flipping another coin and then ignoring one). Hold on, you've just tried to execute a coin-flip event. The Krark's Thumb replacement effect triggers and you need to flip two coins and ignore one. Clearly, this can't be the way the card works (otherwise flipping a coin would cause an infinite coin-flip event loop and end the game in a draw).
2) It replaces each coin-flip event with a two-coin-flip-ignore-one event. In this case, you flip two coins at the same time and ignore one of them. Since this is a two-coin-flip-ignore-one event, it's different from a coin-flip event and therefore does not trigger the Krark's Thumb replacement effect (on your first Krark's Thumb or on ANY other Kra... (see all)

I just read in wikipaedia, that chances are you will tend to get the same resoult after you flip a coin, like TTH, so if you have Tails and you loose, chances of getting anotherTails are higher than Head, still, it is better than loosing the flip anyway.

you cant have 4 thums in play, who cares that it would be redundent, (though i am not so sure it would be) but in case you didn't knotice, it's LEGENDARY

Thats not exactly right, the effect on the thumb is a replacement effect, so like it has been said, having more than one thumb on the field is redundant, because the situation you described results in impossible outcomes. The card says flip two and ignore one. So if it worked like you said, you would have flipped, and instead, flip two, then for each flip, flip one and ignore one, so, you would have four flips, 2 of them were to be ignored and two of them be the result. the rules state:
614.6. If an event is replaced, it never happens. A modified event occurs instead, which may in turn trigger abilities. Note that the modified event may contain instructions that can’t be carried out, in which case the impossible instruction is simply ignored.
So, two thumbs wouldnt be advantageous.

Non-UnSet version of Goblin Bookie. Outside of tournament-legal-only games, run both to ensure you win every flip.

"Let's play a gambling game. We play with my coins."
"Well, as long as these are legit that's fine for me."
"Of course they are!" *throws two coins*
"Wait, aren't those two coins flying in the air?"
*catches them and hides one* "Do you have a lazy eye, my friend? Here, one coin. Which ended up to my favor i might add."
Hmm, pity Krark didn't show un in Scars of Mirrodin.
Maybe we'll finally see him in a couple of years when a third Mirrodin cycle shows up.
I'd like him as a one-drop then, since his thumb unfortunately costs 
and i don't want to cast a Mana Clash without it, so there isn't any pretty turn one option for gambling decks yet (without mana accel).
