Heads I Win
Needed: A Quarter and a knife or file
The Bet: This is a way to win a coin flip. You simply say ‘Heads or Tails’, flip the coin,
catch it and place the coin on the back of your hand. Then, ask the person to call 'Heads'
or 'Tails'.
The How: 1. At home, or out of anyone’s sight, you use a knife, file or any similar
object to create a sharp spur sticking out on the 'Tails' side of a quarter.
2. Whenever an occasion arises, (like paying for a round of shots, who’s paying for
dinner, or who’s going to pick up the take-out), you say, "Let's flip for it."
3. You grab your special quarter, flip it, catch it and place it on the back of your hand.
4. Turn the quarter a little to see if you feel the sharp spur on your back hand.
5. If you FEEL the spur, then it's ‘HEADS’. If you DO NOT FEEL the spur, then it's
‘TAILS’.
6. Ask the person, “Heads or tails?”
7. If they get it wrong, you Win!
8. If they get it right…: You can turn the quarter over into the other hand, so it basically
flips over and you win!
