Even assuming this argument is correct, Sleeping Beauty doesn't know everything exactly when she wakes up, and it won't be the same. For example, she has a 50% chance of waking up facing right if she wakes up once, but a 75% chance if she wakes up twice. If you include everything she experiences, she's pretty much exactly twice as likely to get that experience if she wakes up twice.
