There is an almost endless amount of prop bets to place on the Super Bowl, but for some reason, arguably the most popular is whether or not the pre-game coin toss will land on heads or tails. "Betting on a coin flip" is a popular term in the world of sports gambling to describe betting on an event that has a projected 50/50 outcome, but at the Super Bowl, that saying becomes literal.

There's no trends or stats to read into that will help you predict which side the coin will land on, but just in case you're curious, we're going to break down the odds and history of the flip in this article.

Super Bowl Coin Toss Prediction

There's no conceivable way to handicap the Super Bowl coin toss, so in my opinion, the only real strategy is to pick a side and roll with it every year. That way, you're not second-guessing which side to bet on, and you avoid the possibility of feeling stupid by picking heads one year and it landing tails, only for you to switch to tails the next year and it landing heads.

I'm a heads guy, personally. There's no rhyme or reason for it, I've just always been a heads guy and always will be. Remember, this bet is purely to have some fun to begin the big game.

Remember, tails never fails. Until it does.
