Let’s face it, 2012 Super Bowl coin toss betting odds will always be pretty even for either heads or tails.  What a savvy sports bettor looks for is the best price associated with those balanced odds.

Case in point, some books offer odds of -115 for both heads and tails.  That requires a $11.50 bet to win $10 (the $11.50 of course is refunded should your wager be a winner). 

The key is finding an online sportsbook that offers the better price.

Sportsbook.com seems to offer the best price for the 2012 Super Bowl Coin Toss with odds of -105 for heads and tails, requiring just $10.50 to win $10.00.  This makes a pretty big difference once you start increasing the amount of your wager. 

The team to win the coin toss had a price of -110 on each side, which is still better than the -115 betting odds found at some of Sportsbook.com’s competitors. 

The coin toss prop bet is one of the dumbest but it is also the most popular.  The majority of people who take advantage of Super Bowl betting props throw this one in for fun.  The only proven strategy associated with this wager is finding the best bang for your buck and, as you can see, you can actually find yourself saving a few dollars to use towards other more lucrative prop bets. 

There are a ton currently listed at the Sportsbook.com website here.
