Is there any guarantee that any given polygon will have more convex angles than concave angles?

I'm curious about if there is any guarantee about the amount of angles that can be concave in a given polygon. I'm wondering if there's a relation between the number of convex/concave angles, and specifically if it is possible to have a larger or equal number of concave angles than convex ones.

Yes, it's possible. The simple example with the equal number of "convex" and "concave" angles could be the following: hexagon with the vertices (0,0), (7,0), (4,1), (2,2), (1,4), (0,7). And you can add an arbitrary number of "concave" angles, so an equality isn't a requirement.
