The math was wrong, so I changed it. A coin flip bet would pay 1:1. A two team coin flip bet has a 25% chance of winning, so it pays out 3:1 true odds. To understand this, consider that on average every four times you bet, you will win once and lose 3 times, so to break even you will need to be paid 3:1 to counter your three losses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.175.47.240 (talk) 14:01, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
