Heads or tails?
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission on Thursday voted 3-2 to allow sports betting companies to offer wagers on one of the very first actions to take place at this Sunday’s Super Bowl, the opening coin toss.
Though commissioners said none of the sportsbooks operating in Massachusetts has asked for the ability to offer coin toss bets, the split vote gives operators the authority to let bettors wager on the result of the coin toss (heads or tails), the coin toss winner (Kansas City Chiefs or Philadelphia Eagles), whether the coin toss winner will win the game, and whether the visiting team correctly calls the coin toss.
