coin flips
Heads or tails
A coin flip is the act of tossing a coin and letting chance determine which side lands up—heads or tails.
Used to make decisions when neither option has clear precedence: We settled it with a coin flip.
Figuratively, calling something a coin flip emphasizes its uncertainty or equal odds: The election is basically a coin flip at this point.
