Super Bowl 59’s first big decision: The coin toss’ silly and interesting history
SHARE

The Super Bowl is a time for excitement, anticipation, and of course, betting. From traditional bets on the game itself to quirky prop bets, there are plenty of ways to get in on the action. One of the most iconic bets of the Super Bowl is the coin toss. While it may seem like a simple coin flip, it actually draws a lot of attention and wagers from fans and bettors alike.

On platforms like BetMGM, you can place a bet on whether the coin toss will result in heads or tails, with both options carrying -102 odds. Additionally, you can bet on which team will win the coin toss, with the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs both holding -102 odds. While this may seem like a straightforward bet, it’s important to note that the odds are slightly in favor of the house, making it a negative expected value bet.

Interestingly, the Chiefs, as the designated road team for the Super Bowl, will be the team to call heads or tails for the coin toss. This seemingly mundane event has a rich history, with past Super Bowls featuring unique coin flip ceremonies. For example, in Super Bowl XIII, George Halas used a special gold coin from 1920 to commemorate the founding of the league, adding a touch of nostalgia to the tradition.

The Super Bowl coin itself has evolved over the years, with commemorative versions now available for purchase. Despite the fun and historical significance of the coin toss, experts advise against wagering on it due to the unfavorable odds. In a lighthearted experiment, a total of 882 tails and 869 heads were recorded after flipping the coin hundreds of times, proving that even with a slight bias towards tails, betting on the coin toss is still a risky proposition.

In conclusion, while the Super Bowl coin toss may be a fun and iconic part of the game, it’s best enjoyed as a lighthearted tradition rather than a serious betting opportunity. So, next time you’re at a watch party or filling out a prop sheet, go ahead and make your prediction for the coin toss, but remember to keep your money on more strategic bets for the big game.
