After the Super Bowl ends, NFL odds are already available on our Super Bowl betting sites for next year. The coin toss is a highly popular wager in the Big Game.

The coin toss result is a highly favored Super Bowl prop bet, often one of the first wagers that bettors can make when exploring Super Bowl odds.

This Super Bowl novelty prop is considered one of the best, often being the first wager bettors can win aside from the national anthem. Although the phrase ‘tails never fails’ is popular, the 2024 Super Bowl saw the opening coin toss land on heads, with the Chiefs winning both the toss and the game.

Several top NFL betting sites had differing opinions on the odds, but both DraftKings and bet365 provided the most favorable value for betting on ‘Heads’ at even odds (+100).

Coin toss winner also wins Super Bowl

According to NFL Research, DraftKings was the first sportsbook to offer a market on the team winning the coin toss and then winning the game. In 2023, the Eagles broke an eight-game streak of teams losing the coin toss but still winning the game, while the Chiefs continued the trend of the winning team also winning the coin toss for the second consecutive year.

Super Bowl 2024 coin toss props

Heads or tails prop

This one is straightforward and allows sports bettors to experience the thrill of making the coin flip call themselves: Will it be heads or tails?

It is important to compare odds at different sportsbooks to ensure you are getting the best possible deal. While there may not be significant differences between them, every penny saved makes a difference.

People who decide to wager on the outcome of the Super Bowl coin toss are essentially participating in a 50/50 chance. Some studies indicate a slightly higher likelihood of the coin landing on the side that is initially facing up when it is flipped, but the difference is negligible.

It is worth noting that tails had an impressive streak, coming up before eight out of nine Super Bowls.

In this Super Bowl coin toss prop, you are not just choosing heads or tails, but predicting which team will win the toss. Like a traditional coin toss, it is still a 50-50 chance.
