We obtained three of the official Super Bowl coins (they retail for $99.99), sent them to Sports Betting Sr. And they do not, Bohbot says, test flip the coin before shipping. Executive Vice President Vince Bohbot says the coin weighs the same every year (approximately 1 oz), and the design is guided by the NFL. Each year, they mint 10,000 of the exact same Super Bowl coin - the first 100 are sent to the NFL the remaining 9,900 are sold to collectors and fans.

The results from our journey down the coin toss rabbit hole are below from last year. Even more people bet tails because it never fails, so they’ll probably end up with a bigger win if it ends up heads. With odds at -105 on each side, sportsbooks will make 2.38% profit.

They’ll make money from the poor, uneducated bettors who mindlessly click on banners and links.
