A recent study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal has proven what we've suspected for years -- you can win a coin toss with a little bit of luck ... or a whole lot of cheating.

Previous research has shown that a tossed coin has a 51 percent chance of landing the same way it was facing before being tossed, but with practice, you can get a feel for how to toss a coin and improve your chances of calling it right.

One participant in the study managed to force a "heads" landing 68 percent of the time. Useful knowledge if you want to cheat without feeling like a cheater.

For the rest of us low-down, dirty dogs, there is a much easier (and more effective) manner to win a coin toss. Toss the coin, but don't call it until you catch it. Using your thumb in a subtle, magician-like way, feel the coin -- the head side of a coin is much smoother than the tail side, so you know which side you're about to show.

And there you have it -- a perfect method to ensure you never have to watch another movie with Sarah Jessica Parker at the theater ever again.

If, however, you are looking for a fair toss, use a truly random online generator like Coin Flipper.
