As we all know, Super Bowl coin toss history is completely random as there is virtually a 50/50 chance of the coin landing on heads or tails. However, according to Vince Bohbot (executive vice president at The Highland Mint in Florida, where the Super Bowl coin is made), the weight of each side of the coin can vary ever so slightly depending on the coin’s design. The Chiefs will wear their red jerseys with white pants — the same combination they wore for their Super Bowl 54 win. The road team gets to call the opening coin toss at NFL games. What Are Super Bowl Coin Toss Prop Bets? Although coin toss prop bets for the Super Bowl typically involve which side it will land on and the fate of the team who calls it correctly, these NFL bet types can include anything that is related to a heads or tails outcome. We could speculate, but we’ll provide examples below as they appear for the most accurate reference of what you can expect.

Sometimes the simplest bets are the most fun. Red or black? Heads or tails?

Who calls the coin toss in super bowl game

The focus today is on the latter, as Super Bowl LV between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs gets underway. The Super Bowl coin toss to start the game each year is the most popular prop bet of all.

Was the coin toss heads or tails?

There’s a ton of hoopla before, during and after each Super Bowl. So if you stepped away to go to the bathroom or grab a beverage – you may have missed the result of whether the coin toss landed on heads or tails.

Update: The Chiefs called “heads” and were correct as it landed on “heads.” It was the third time in the last four Super Bowls that it landed on “heads.” The all-time Big Game score for heads vs. tails is now: Tails 29, Heads 26.

Here were the coin toss odds prior to the game from top US sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM.

Coin toss strategy

The coin toss is the ultimate 50-50 proposition. So you wouldn’t think there would be any strategy behind betting on it, right?

Well, most folks are superstitious with this sort of stuff.

Tails has actually been the victor at the majority of Super Bowls so far. In the previous 54 Big Games, the coin came up tails 29 times. Heads came up 25 times.

Coin

The coin came up tails four times in a row, from 2014 to 2017. This came on the heels of it landing on heads from 2009 through 2013.

You can also parlay the coin toss outcome to the Super Bowl winner, though that might not be the best option. Only 25 times out of 54 tries has the team that won the coin toss also won the game.
