Who the fuck wrote that? What a bunch of bullshit. I totally understand having to play tails. The value was there on what was a 50/50 call.
The biggest joke was pinny's prop on will the coin toss be called Heads?
No +156
I had to play that out of principle. Thankfully it won.

Tails had come up 8/10 in the last 10 years and the players know that the raised heads area makes the coin asymmetrical and more likely to come up tails. There was a thread about this.

That's just absurd.Woody0 said:
Anyone who believes that some sizable macro bias towards tails exists has been Fooled by Randomness.
Just in case anyone's interested in some applied math, it is possible to guarantee fair results from an unfair coin by modifying the coin flipping procedure.
The modified procedure would be as follows:
This will work as long as the biased side appears with probability < 100%.
The modified procedure would be as follows:
- Flip the coin twice.
- If the side from the first flip matches side from the second, start over with two new flips.
- If the side from the first flip does not match side from the second, use the side from the second flip.
This will work as long as the biased side appears with probability < 100%.

Thanks for the answer.
The prop was:
The odds at Pinnacle for heads being called are now
Yes -150
No +140
If tails had come up so many times, and the players were more likely to call tails, why were the odds on the prop so good for tails?
The odds should have been the other way round.
