How to bet on a spinning penny


Bet on tails.  On a fresh, unworn, clean penny the odds may be 80:20 in your favor.  This doesn't apply to a coin flip, however.

  1. Never bet on a flipped coin in a bar. I can flip heads (or tails) almost every time, as long I can catch it and flip it onto the top of my wrist.
