I like the football player that says he is going to use this as a strategy now. He gets to call maybe 10 flips a season, this might pay off with a small advantage for him in one game before he retires.

first person who turns their hand up in a race situation is like 55 - 60% favourite!

When I was little I used to think that if I called whichever side was starting up I'd win more often. Turns out I'm a genius.

honestly i thought tails was statistically easier to get because of the weight differences between heads/tails of a standard u.s. quarter. but i guess football games use some special big ass coin so who knows

Well, apperantly they used a machine in the study that flipped it the exact same way all the time which really skews the result. I could imagine how it'd be true by the "standard" force people use to flip the coin, though. Still think it's not going to show any real difference in things like the NFL.
