toss up
Could go either
A toss up is a situation where outcomes are equally likely or choices are equally attractive—from the fifty-fifty odds of a coin flip.
It's a toss up whether we'll make it on time.
The phrase often describes close competitions or genuinely uncertain decisions: The election is a toss up.
Also spelled toss-up or tossup.
