They are robbing you not only of your money, but more importantly, your chance of a fair game. So, you may think that you’re having a bad day of luck, but your opponent may just be trained to toss coins accurately. You should know that some people can train their fingers to flip a coin in such way that only the desired face comes up every time they toss it. However, there is a more intentional way of manipulating the odds. They can even house bacteria! All these factors, though, at a very small level, are capable of removing the fairness from the process. In the process, coins suffer a lot of wear-and-tear, scratches, and dents. That is one aspect to consider, but apart from this, think about how often a coin changes hands. First of all, newly minted coins are almost always born with some imperfections and fabrications that may affect the perfectness of the coin’s geometry. In regular coin tosses, where normal coins are used, those even odds can change. It can be assumed that one can ensure quality in those coins, but what other factors influence the odds? Even today, most “high-profile” coin tosses make use of custom-made coins. In ancient times, special coins were made to settle important conflicts. Come on! A coin toss is the fairest way to resolve a dispute. Right? How could it not be?Īctually, the process is so amazingly easy, quick, and absolute that it doesn’t leave even a shred of doubt. The name ‘heads or tails’ became frequently used because a head and a tail are considered to be the two body parts located at opposite ends of each other. Romans used to call the game of coin tossing navia aut caput (“ship or head”), while the British called it ‘ cross and pile‘. In ancient times, the result of a coin toss was considered to be an expression of divine will. Although coin tossing is widely seen in day-to-day life, it has made its way into official and international platforms as well.
