Its quite simple, really. If you were to dig up the turf in the area that the coin toss occurs, you would find small air pressure tubes. When air is pushed through these tubes, they exert just enough pressure on a landing coin to influence it to always land a certain way. Exert less air, tails. More air, heads. So they can call whichever they want and will get it the majority of the time. Simple physics. We did this in our high school physics class. Works like a charm.

Obviously you missed my thread from last year when I finally accepted the fact Tom Brady is a better quarterback than Peyton.
As always, you are two decades late.

Have you also figured out that Bitch Jones sucks? Or has it not been long enough yet.

Hardly.

The chances of being right (or wrong) 12 or 13 times out of 25 is about 1 in 6.5.
Chances of being right (or wrong) 11 or 14 times out of 25 is about 1 in 7.5
10 or 15 times out of 25 is 1 in 10.2
9 or 16 is a 1 in 16.4 chance
8 or 17 is a 1 in 31
7 or 18 is 1 in 70
and getting it right 6 or 19 times out of 25 is a 1 in 189.5 chance occurrence.


It is a binary distribution, that is the proper calculation. Also, we would be even more amazed with 20, 21, 22, etc wins, so the calculation should be for 19 or more correct calls. Thanks for finding this. I love it.
