Coin flip guide
Coin toss vs. coin flip
In everyday use, coin toss and coin flip describe the same two-outcome decision. The wording changes by context, not by probability.
Different words, same purpose
Both describe using a two-sided coin to choose between outcomes. Whether it is tossed high or flipped by hand, the intent is a fair call.
Choosing the right tool
For a classic heads-or-tails decision, use a coin flip. For named options, a custom coin keeps the same 50/50 structure.
