Unless there is some reason to suspect clairvoyance, insider knowledge of the umpire's weighted coin, or access to statistical data on the flipping tendancies of a particular umpire, there is no advantage - none, zero, zlich, aught, goose egg, naught - gained by being the person who actually makes the call on the coin flip.

Hey, watch it. Those weighted coins have won me money in certain Superbowls. The coin with the ceramic (?) side to it will go tails quite often. d:-)

While we are on the subject of coins, Mike mentioned in a thread
not long ago, that the flipping coin was one way to decide a close
play at first. During a pool game on Sat., (knew both teams
players and coaches very well), I had a banger. Don't make a
call, but reach in get my coin, flip it, and hollar "out", (BTW -
had already known that would be my call). Everyone got a big kick
out it.
