How to Flip the Coin

1. Call heads or tails before you flip.
2. Press the flip button.

Is Heads or Tails Really 50/50?

An ideal fair coin has the same chance of landing on heads or tails, which is 50% each. Every flip is independent, so earlier results don’t change the next one. A streak of heads doesn’t mean tails is “due”. For example, the chance of getting heads five times in a row is 1 in 32 (about 3.1%). That’s rare, but not impossible.

• Single flip: one flip decides everything.
• Best of 3: the first player to win 2 flips wins.
• Best of 5: the first player to win 3 flips wins.
