With sports betting legal across dozens of states, every bet imaginable is available to wager on during Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans.
But only one is a true 50-50 bet that no amount of research or analysis can help with since it comes down to sheer luck.
That, of course, is the coin toss.
Bet365, DraftKings, and ESPN BET have the best odds on the pregame coin toss, offering +100 on heads and tails, meaning the sportsbooks aren’t forcing bettors to accept any vig on this pure-chance bet.
