A game in which people bet on the coin toss is a game made for gridiron greats. It was, after all, a coin toss that gave the sports world unforgettable moments. A coin toss signals the birth of legends and the start of history for some fortunate NFL superstars who have conquered the Super Bowl stage.

But why stop there? These days, you can bet on just about anything that might happen. Ford Field, the site of Super Bowl XL, might as well be a craps table on the Vegas strip. But before glancing at other Super Bowl wagering propositions, the game must start with a coin toss.

You can bet on which team will win the coin toss. Or whether the toss will turn up heads or tails. This is called proposition betting. It began, the story goes, in January 1986, when Caesars Palace Sports Book gave the public a chance to bet on whether Chicago's William "The Refrigerator" Perry would score in Super Bowl XX. (He did.)

Now the concept has grown into a national phenomenon. Most online gambling sites offer the chance to bet on the big game without actually betting on the big game. After the coin toss props, people can now bet on almost every Super Bowl betting props under the sun. Which team will offer the first coach's challenge or whether the first challenge will be overturned, quarterbacks and running backs betting specials plus cross-sport betting.

Bodawg's proposition? Just sit back and enjoy the game. Do not leave your seats because Sunday's contest will surely go down as one of the most exciting Super Bowl games of all time.

coin toss trend.

coin toss trend.

for what it's worth, I played my first SuperBowl coin toss prop 7 years ago for some drunken pre game action I took heads, it came up tails. Each and every Superbowl since, I've put a token wager on heads. It has come up tails each and every year since 1998! It's a running joke with some of my boys.... The good news is I've only lost one Superbowl side during that same time frame. Yes, I will bet heads again , so I can get 10 phone calls just before kickoff saying I lost again!! :mj07:
