Flip Facts

A coin toss isn't 50/50. Research shows a flipped coin is slightly more likely to land on the side that was facing up when tossed — about 51% of the time. The effect is even stronger when a coin is spun rather than flipped, because the heavier "heads" side acts as a counterweight.

If you flip a coin ten times, the odds against its coming up with the same side showing each time are 1,023 to 1.
