The only difference is that if the event is quantum, the universe is choosing for you (otherwise the flip is deterministic).

Similar concept to a book I read years ago when I was teenager, called "The dice man"
A fabulous book.
Instead of ponsing about with Quantum computers though, the guy in the book (a psychiatrist I think) simply rolled the dice to make all his decisions.
Shall I got to work today? If I roll a "1 a 4 or a 5" I will go to work, If I roll any other number I will go fishing instead.
What drink shall I have, a whiskey, a beer, a lager or a wine. Roll that dice bruv.
I played it for a while. Great fun especially with your mates.
Better than quantums any day.
