A 2023 study wanted to find out what really happens when you flip a fair coin; after 350,757 tosses, researchers found that it often lands on the same side it started

A massive experiment revealed coin flips favor the starting side slightly. This finding confirmed a physics model's prediction about coin toss wobbles. The experiment involved many participants and numerous coin flips across different currencies. The same-side bias varied among individuals and decreased with practice. Knowing the starting side could offer a small advantage in important decisions.
