Frequently asked questions
How do I decide between two choices with a coin flip?
Choose which option represents heads and which represents tails. Flip the coin and go with the side that comes up.
When is a coin flip useful?
Flip a coin to make a quick choice between two options, decide who starts a game, or break a tie.
Are heads and tails equally likely?
Yes. Each flip gives heads and tails a 50% chance.
Does getting heads several times make tails more likely next?
No. Each flip is independent, so previous results do not change the next flip's odds. Heads and tails each remain a 50% chance.
How is an online coin flip result chosen?
The result is selected at random in your browser before the coin animation starts. The animation displays the result; it does not choose it.
