Let me explain the situation...

With 2 Krark's Thumb (KT):
1. If i flip a coin, the first KT triggers, which will make me flip 2 coins. When i'm about to flip the second coin of the 2 coins, the second KT triggers, making me flip another 2 coins.  When i flip the third coin, the other KT triggers again, making me flip 2 coins again... and so on... What i'm asking is will i win the game if i won 10 coin flips in these never ending coin flips? Since, both Chance Encounter and Goblin Bomb both triggers at the beginning of upkeep, i can choose which goes first right?

I misread the text of Goblin Bomb, it triggers during your upkeep not at the beginning of upkeep...
sorry this combo will not work because of the never ending flip... It will become a draw...

if your questioning if chance encounters will get more counters because of the thumbs the answer is no. 

When play a coin flip card like goblin bomb, when you flip the coin you can only win the flip or lose, chance encounter only cares about this win or lose.  all the thumbs do is allow you to flip more coins increasing the chance of winning, which will only put 1 counter on chance no matter how many coins you flip

If a card says "during your upkeep" it usually has been errated to be at the "beginning of upkeep," such as the case of goblin bomb. since both chance and bomb occur at the upkeep as the controller you can stack them in the order you want.

also it wouldn't be a draw because at some point you can say here is the coin i'm using for the bomb there by breaking the cycle
