It could be on my part with how I have it set.

I have both banners set to the same settings...

Max. Impressions With this value you may limit how often banners are shown on your pages: 0

Likelihood Insert here a value between 1 and 100 in order to define the percentage of how likely are banners to view. You may also insert a number higher than 100, in order to give a specific banner a higher weight than normally. You would do this during short lasting promotions, for example.: 100

Am I missing something or should I set those settings different for the two banners I created?
The likeliness does influence how often a coin flip falls on one side. Normally you will leave it at 100, because you want to give all banners an even chance.

How the chance is taken depends also on server side caches and browser settings. In normal case applications, a banner changes every time a page reloads, but if you just have 2 banners for one space, it may seem there is nothing or little happening. Over time you'll see that the impression counter evens out between the available banners.
