What Was the Result of the Super Bowl 58 Coin Toss?
This year's coin toss ended up with heads as the result.
The Chiefs won the toss and elected to kick to start the game.

If you placed a bet on the coin toss at -105 odds, you would have come out a winner if you bet heads. A $105 bet would net $100 on this wager.
One bettor placed a major wager on the coin toss, betting $100K on tails to be the result. It's safe to say that bettor is extremely disappointed in the outcome of this year's toss.
