The simplest bet in the casino - heads or tails?

How Coin Toss Works

  1. Choose Heads or Tails
  2. Place your bet
  3. A coin flip is simulated using provably fair RNG
  4. Win if your prediction matches the result
ℹ️ Provably Fair
Every flip uses cryptographic randomness that you can verify. Learn more about provably fair gaming.

The Math Behind Coin Toss

In a theoretical fair coin flip:

AspectValue
Heads probability50.00%
Tails probability50.00%
Fair payout2.00x

However, to maintain a business, casinos apply a small house edge:

House EdgeActual PayoutRTP
1%1.98x99%
2%1.96x98%
5%1.90x95%
💡 MPlay Edge
MPlay offers a 1% house edge on Coin Toss—99% RTP, one of the best odds available.

Betting Strategies

Martingale (High Risk)

Double your bet after each loss. When you win, you recover all losses plus profit equal to your initial bet.

Problem: Long losing streaks (10+ in a row happen ~0.1% of the time) can exceed table limits or deplete your bankroll.

Anti-Martingale (Moderate Risk)

Double your bet after each win. Ride winning streaks, reset to base bet after a loss.

Problem: Gives back all profits after the first loss.

Flat Betting (Low Risk)

Bet the same amount every time. Simple, sustainable, and statistically optimal for most players.

Recommended: 1-2% of bankroll per bet.

⚠️ No System Beats the Edge
No betting system can overcome the house edge mathematically. Systems change variance, not expected value.

Streak Analysis

How often do streaks happen in coin toss?

Streak LengthProbabilityOccurs Every
3 in a row12.5%~8 flips
5 in a row3.125%~32 flips
7 in a row0.78%~128 flips
10 in a row0.098%~1,024 flips
ℹ️ Gambler's Fallacy
Past results don't influence future flips. After 5 heads in a row, the next flip is still 50/50.
