There must be data for a probability to be calculable. What is the probability of an event occurring that has not ever occurred? It's NOT calculable.
Depends on what you mean by "not ever occurred". You'd probably admit that probability games with balls and urns have been played often enough that predictions of outcomes are calculable, but you'd be wrong to think anyone ever needed to set up an example in order to calculate the probabilities.
Your example seems to be related to the outcome of flipping a coin that's not a fair coin.
