TL;DR Summary

A bettor lost $40,000 after wagering on "tails" for the opening coin flip of Super Bowl 58, which resulted in heads. Despite a historical trend of tails in previous Super Bowls, the Kansas City Chiefs won the toss and chose to defer the opening kickoff. The outcome defied the majority of bettors' expectations, with 53% favoring heads. The article also notes the historical lack of correlation between coin toss winners and Super Bowl success, and includes a disclaimer about sports betting.
