But you get to flip the coin, so you can put that to your own advantage. Besides, the bias in flipping coins is only around 1%, which is far less than the 2x difference between what you might win and what you might lose. (Incidentally, when flipping coins, the important factor is which way up the coin starts – weight is only more important when spinning the coin).
