Superbowl Coin-Toss Prop

Who in the mall has/will ever bet the coin-toss prop (besides Janet Gretsky)?

Tails hit like 6 years in a row before either SB 40 or SB 41. I have a friend that wins @ 20% of his bets but hit Tails 6 years in a row. He has stuck with Tails.

LMAO Are you waiting right up until game time to release your write-up so you can check the latest weather conditions?

i once learned in high school stats that because of the way a coin is carved, one side of the coin is slightly heavier than the other and the odds of a quarter coming up tails is slightly greater. i don't know if that applies to the special super bowl coin they use though.

Make sure when you release your writeup to refer to your heads pick as an "investment" so as to qualify yourself as an "investor" and not a "gambler" in good ole French Dip Sandwich style.

I wonder if they hire a special security detail to guard the Super Bowl coin from any tampering prior to the flip. Either way if the coin hit tails 6 or 7 years in a row then maybe they haven't worked out all of the kinks on it yet.
