Super Bowl Coin Toss 01/28/01 Heads -115 Tails -105 I guess its cause tails came up last year, but it seems kinda ridiculous. ------------------     | ||

I was thinking the same thing Naty. Heads?? Tails?? sounds 50/50 to me. | ||

mathematically it is 50/50 and previous performance has no bearing on future performance. so the comment that since it was X last year would mean Y is a favorite this year... that makes no logical sense - neither does why one side would be favored. physically though, it is definitely feasible that one side will land up more than the other - I forget which american coin it is (maybe the old US quarter?), but one of them was slightly heavier on the face side - the face part was rasied more, so it used more material to reach that hieght, therefore threw the balence off, and that side would land down more often. ------------------ | ||

quote: Yo Happy, I think its pretty obvious that I and everyone else knows that a coin toss is 50/50, and yes I know my comment makes no "logical" sense, but this is gambling, and its a fact that heads if favored for the coin toss, I found it funny that this was the case, and yes the coin is weighted evenly. Heads is favored either because it has come up more times in the past, or that tails came up last year, who really knows why its favored, and yes I know this makes no LOGICAL sense, thats why I posted this thread, so in the future, I would appreciate it if you didn't try to educate me on your scientific explanation of a coin. ------------------ |
