Betting on the Super Bowl Coin Toss 2024

by Spencer Toth - 2/5/2024

Betting on the Super Bowl coin toss Kansas City Chiefs vs San Francisco 49ers

Sports betting has exploded in popularity across the United States, with legalized betting in 38 states, compared to just a single state 7 years ago. The number of betting props has been increasing exponentially, but there is one prop that remains the cream of the crop, the pick of the litter, the bet to end all bets, and that is, the Super Bowl coin toss.

The game is simple. Heads or Tails? The Super Bowl attracts millions of non-football watchers each year. And with the addition of Taylor Swift, that number will increase even further. While a run-pass option with a checkdown available to a fading fullback may make sense to some people, everyone watching the Super Bowl can get behind an exhilarating coin toss bet. There is no need to sit through 4+ hours of football between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, when you have the chance to double up your money before a ball is kicked. Even casual fans can dip their toe in the sports betting world with a coin toss bet, but let’s be clear here. If you are planning on placing any significant cash on the coin toss bet, it may be time to re-evaluate. While a coin toss bet can be fun, considering most of the sportsbooks take a cut for a purely 50/50 event, there is absolutely no reason to lay anything other than a few dollars of pocket change on the coin toss. This will not deter many bettors, as the amount of money changing hands before the game gets underway is almost hard to imagine.

The ‘Tails Never Fails’ crew got back into the green last year after back-to-back ‘Heads’ cost countless bettors their cold hard cash. This is the 58th edition of the Super Bowl, with Tails holding a 30-27 lead over their bitter rival, Heads. Not only was the Heads streak broken, but an even longer, more troubling streak finally came to an end. Prior to last year’s matchup, the coin toss victor went on to lose the game in 8 straight Super Bowls, including the 2020 matchup between these two teams. San Francisco won the toss by correctly calling tails and elected to defer the kickoff. Kansas City punted on their opening drive but ended up winning the game. Tails has been on quite the hot streak, winning 7 of their last 10 Super Bowl matchups, and will undoubtedly be the more popular pick on Sunday evening. From 2009 to 2013, Heads dominated the matchup, winning 5 straight years to take a narrow 24-23 overall lead. However, Tails was not ready to give up, and retaliated with 4 straight victories immediately following what was dubbed ‘The Greatest Heads Dynasty of All Time.’ They pulled ahead to a 27-24 lead, and after splitting the next years 3-3, Tails has been able to hold onto their narrow 3 outcome lead.

The decision of which side to support when the game kicks off in Las Vegas all comes down to the type of person you are. If you prefer to go against the grain, ‘Heads’ may be a very intriguing option to attack. There is no doubt that ‘Tails Never Fails’ will be trending once again on X (AKA Twitter), and there is something oddly satisfying about not only putting a few dollars in your pocket but overlooking a suddenly quiet crowd when ‘Heads’ gets announced. However, sometimes it can be fun to cheer along with the home crowd. A squad ride bet on Tails before the game kicks off truly never fails, and Tails will be eager to extend their 30-27 lead over Heads.

For my highly anticipated Coin Toss pick for the 2024 Super Bowl, I’ll let my hair down and go with ‘Tails.’ I’ve selected Heads in 3 straight years, going 2-1 in the process, but this year we’re jumping ship and going with the home team. No more sitting on the sidelines. No more rooting for other’s demise. We either win together, or lose together, but considering Tails’ edge in the series, and their catchy slogan, there is absolutely no chance this bet fails.
