Super Bowl Coin Toss

When it comes to betting on the 2010 Super Bowl, chances are that the coin toss wager will get around equal amount of action.  As such, coin toss odds are generally listed at even or, in the case of BetUS.com, -110.  Those odds were also assigned to which team would win the coin toss.  This is among the most popular of prop bets offered. 

The Super Bowl coin toss has become a science.

Heads or Tails? Until the Philadelphia Eagles won the coin toss before Super Bowl XXXIX, the coin toss for the Super Bowl was clearly a 50/50 proposition. In the first 38 Super Bowls, half of the teams who won the pre-game coin toss in a Super Bowl went on to win that game while the other half lost the game.

The coin toss loser has won 10 of the last 13 games. 

"The coin toss is probably among the most popular prop bets because it is usually the first bet determined as a winner or loser," explains Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.
