Flip the Coin

  1. Step 1 Scegli la moneta giusta.
    There is no coin that is "better than the others" for this purpose, everything depends on personal preferences and the size of the hand.Newer coins, which have more defined designs, make it easier to choose between “heads” or “tails”:you can in fact feel the reliefs and faces of the coin better.
    • If you're flipping the coin as part of a trick it's good to have a specific type in mind.Not because this will necessarily make a difference, but because it will give you something to talk about while you do the trick, as a distraction.

    The thumb is the finger that will push the coin into the air.It is therefore important that it is facing upwards, so that you can direct the coin in the same direction.
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Lanciare una Moneta
    It doesn't matter to insert it completely between the first two fingers:just place the tip on it.When you move it up for the flip, this position will create some initial resistance, helping you then push the coin in a faster motion.
  4. Watermark wikiHow to Lanciare una Moneta
    It should fit over both fingers so it doesn't fall out when you let go.You won't be able to hold the coin with your other hand while preparing to flip it, so it's important that it stays still without needing your "help".
  5. Watermark wikiHow to Lanciare una Moneta
    This quick shot will push the coin into the air, causing it to spin several times.You can also move your hand upwards during the movement.Doing so gently will produce a slower toss, meaning the coin will make fewer spins.[1]
  6. Watermark wikiHow to Lanciare una Moneta
    You don't need to take into account the turns it makes, but be prepared to catch it quickly or make sure it doesn't roll once it hits the floor.The coin flip will be perfectly useless if you can't see the end result.

Betting on the Launch

  1. Step 1 Decidi come concludere il lancio.
    You'll need to know exactly what to do before you toss the coin in the air.Will you catch it or let it fall to the ground?If you grab it, will you reveal the result as is or will you tip it onto another surface (thus giving it one last spin)?If you are using the toss to make a decision with another person, talk about the modalities first, so as to avoid future grievances about the final result.
    • On the other hand, if you are comfortable with the following steps and can place and flip the coin very quickly, you can catch the other person off guard and perhaps get a more favorable outcome.
  2. Step 2 Sii il primo a scegliere.
    If you can, try to be the person who chooses heads or tails, so you can bet according to the conditions established for the roll.
    • Alternatively, you can make sure you're the one making the launch.This way you can control the conditions yourself and have some leeway on them.
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Lanciare una Moneta
    Although you generally think you have a 50% chance of guessing the outcome of a roll, in reality it is closer to 51% in favor of the side facing up.It might seem like a trivial difference, but when you're guessing, every little detail counts.This feature works best with new coins:the older the coin, the more it has become filed or filled with imperfections, which completely changes the physics of each flip.
    • Consider the final part of the launch.If the person throwing (whether it's you or the other person) will catch the coin and tip it onto another surface (for example, the other hand or a table), then choose the side facing down.That additional lap could make all the difference.
    • If you're the one flipping the coin and you like to bet blind, you can recognize the face you're touching by touch.The “cross” usually has more designs, so it should feel more jagged to the touch than the “head”.
  4. Watermark wikiHow to Lanciare una Moneta
    A softer toss will cause the coin to spin fewer times, meaning you can keep an eye on its movement more easily. [2]
  5. Watermark wikiHow to Lanciare una Moneta
    As with any other skill, you can get better at coin flipping with a little practice.The more times you do this, the more precise you will be in throwing and the better you will be able to guess how many turns the coin will make in the air. [3]

Advice

  • If you're flipping a coin to make an important decision, briefly consider how each outcome would make you feel.You can also look at each of the two sides of the coin as you visualize the possibilities:you might thus realize that the choice is clearer than you think, in your head, and that ultimately flipping a coin to decide is not necessary.[4]
