- Use “Flip 10×” to toss a batch and see the totals.
- Reset clears the tally whenever you want a fresh count.
A fair toss, every time
The coin flip is humanity’s oldest tie-breaker — a way to hand a decision to pure chance that everyone agrees is fair. This one is fair in the strictest sense: each flip draws from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator and divides exactly in half, so heads and tails are equally likely on every toss, with no bias and no memory of what came before. The spinning animation is just for fun; the outcome is decided the instant you flip.
The gambler's fallacy
If a coin lands heads five times in a row, it is tempting to feel that tails is “due.” It is not. Each flip is independent — the coin has no memory — so after any streak the next flip is still exactly 50/50. Believing otherwise is the famous gambler’s fallacy, and it has cost a lot of people a lot of money. What is true is the law of large numbers: over many flips the proportion of heads drifts steadily toward one half, even though any short run can look lopsided. Press “Flip 10×” a few times and watch the running percentage in the tally settle down — you are watching both principles at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coin flip truly 50/50?
Yes. Each flip uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator and splits exactly in half between heads and tails, so both outcomes are equally likely every single time — there is no bias and no memory of previous flips.
Does a run of heads make tails “due”?
No — that is the gambler's fallacy. Every flip is independent: after five heads in a row, the next flip is still exactly 50/50. A long streak is surprising but not impossible, and it does not change the odds of what comes next. The tally is there to watch this play out.
Can I flip many at once?
Yes — press “Flip 10×” to toss ten in quick succession; the heads and tails counts update so you can see the split. Over many flips the ratio drifts toward 50/50, a hands-on demonstration of the law of large numbers.
Is anything tracked?
No. The coin flips entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored, and the tally resets when you close the tab or press Reset.
How do I use the Coin Flip?
Simply pick your options and read the result, which refreshes the instant you change something. There is nothing to submit and nothing to wait for.
Do I need to install or sign up for anything?
Not at all — it runs in the browser with nothing to install and no account. After it loads once, it even works without an internet connection.
Is my information private?
Yes. Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or saved anywhere.
