The Super Bowl is here, and that means it is time for everyone’s favorite prop bet, the coin toss! How can something as simple as a heads or tails call be so inflammatory and fun to bet? The randomness attracts degens of all walks, from hardcore degens to the casual only-on-the-holidays degen, everyone has a take and a bet. But, by looking at the history of the Super Bowl Coin Toss, can we establish a pattern? Is there a best bet to divine based on temperature? Flipper? Playing surface?
The next question is what is the best way to play the betting odds and where can you find the best odds? It depends upon your book, but most do it at a straight-up split with both sides seeing equal betting odds on the coin toss. However, there may be a shift in the odds so it is important to monitor the odds.
History may influence how you bet the coin toss, or you might have another system you invent while watching the Super Bowl pregame coverage.

Super Bowl LVII Coin Toss History and Betting Lines
Super Bowl LVII Coin Toss History
Looking back at the history of the Super Bowl shows us two key stats. Firstly, there have been 28 instances where the coin toss was heads. And there have been 28 times in Super Bowl history where the coin toss was tails. Clearly the playground maxim of “tails never fails” does not apply during the Big Game.
Flip a coin a few times to do some extra research before you place your bet, or just let it ride like a true degen. The choice is yours!
The second thing we see is that there is a correlation between winning the toss and winning the Super Bowl. Teams that won the coin toss only won the game 24 times. The other 32 times the team that won the toss did not win the big game. There may be an opportunity to parlay your favorite side of the coin with a bet to win the game, but wait to see what our parlay experts say later this week.
Check the betting odds frequently on the coin toss, and be prepared to jump on your favorite side of the coin if things flip your way.
