Whatever coin I have in my pocket. Or, whatever my partner has.

I go with the latter... I usually end up with a extra $2+ at the end of the tournament... if i work it right.

New Trick (for me)

Doing more games wear the home team is know, than "flip decisions" lately, I usually forget the coin all together... So this year I learned a new trick.

I put my indicator behind my back and start spinning the inning wheel, then ask Odd or Even.
When appropriate, my usual smart-a$$ remark is, "No fair counting the clicks".

As I'm typing this, it occurs to me that since I have a notched wheel, I could probably exercise some game management and control who the home team is!!! -

But I wouldn't..

I use one of many association flipping coins I have, since my old faithful was stolen a couple of years ago.
