Who Won The Coin Toss Super Bowl 2019
Out of the nearly 1,000 Super Bowl LIII proposition bets set to be offered across major online sportsbooks, one of the most popular is wagering a completely independent event offering zero betting value: the winner of the coin-toss. The entirely random occurrence presents zero edge to professional sports investors, but is easy to comprehend, settled early in the night, and highly entertaining, especially appealing for the novice bettor.

The Super Bowl coin toss takes place three minutes prior to kickoff and provides the winner the honor of receiving or deferring possession to start the game. Since 1978, a nominated celebrity flips a specially-minted coin with each team’s logo stamped on the Tails side, while the venue is represented on Heads. The referee confirms the side selection while the coin is in mid-toss. This affirms the correct team decision, avoiding the 1998 Thanksgiving Day blunder made by referee Phil Luckett. You can watch that infamous gaff below, where miscommunication occurred between Luckett and former Steelers’ RB Jerome Bettis deciding overtime possession:
This history of the Super Bowl coin toss has every result since the Green Bay Packers won the coin toss with a ‘heads’ call in Super Bowl I in 1967.

Some decent-sized money is handled picking the Super Bowl coin-toss winner. In 2017, William Hill US wrote a $2,000 ticket wagering on Heads. The flip landed Tails, which has hit in five consecutive quests for the Lombardi Trophy. There are other Super Bowl coin-toss bets available. Let’s take a look at a few of these prop bets and trends:
Heads or Tail (-105, -105)
Don’t believe conspiracy theorists and crackpots when they claim specially-minted Super Bowls coins are weighted heavily on one side offering some sort of flip advantage. In the world of probability, this simply has no effect. The coin has no memory. In terms of physics, how a tosser flips the extra-heavy coin, it’s landing, etc., could have some effect on the outcome. But it is enough to overcome a fair 50-50 outcome? Nah. For what it’s worth, Tails has come up 28 times (53.8 percent) and Heads 24 times (46.2 percent) in Super Bowl coin flips.
Which Team Will Win the Toss (-105, -105)
From 1998-2011 the NFC won the Super Bowl coin toss 14 straight times. What are the odds of that happening? Roughly 16,000-to-1 or +1600000. The random streak has given the NFC a 67.3 percent win rate picking the flip. The AFC has won three of the last seven. There is nothing statistically significant in the trend. It’s randomness.
Deciding Team Picks Toss Correctly (-105, -105)
The conference champion designated the visiting team makes the call on the coin-toss, home teams select jersey colors. In even-numbered Super Bowls, the NFC is considered the away team, as opposed to the AFC in odd years. The AFC is 10-16 (38.4 percent) picking the toss, including whiffing in three of the last 10 contests.

Coin-Toss Winner Wins Super Bowl (-125, -105)
The conventional wisdom when winning the toss is to choose to receive possession first. The belief is scoring first will boost confidence. Only five coin-flip winners in the 52 Super Bowls have elected to kick off, including the Patriots last season. Teams winning the toss have gone on to hoist the Lombardi Trophy 51.9 percent of the time.
