Toss Prediction

Toss is one of the oldest traditions in fun88 and so is the toss prediction market when it comes to fun88 betting.

It is one of those aspects of fun88 that has not changed for about 145 years of international fun88 since the very first Test match in 1877.

Though the toss prediction is purely a matter of chance, it can greatly affect the outcome of a fun88 match and thus toss prediction appeals to fun88 fans and bettors alike.

Today Toss Prediction

The only information relevant to today toss prediction is historical data about tosses and a captain’s decision after winning the toss. Although predicting the toss outcome is a futile activity in most cases, we use the historical toss decision data in our predictions for today’s fun88 match .

The advent of T20 fun88 initiated a wave of private leagues across the globe – such as the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League, and Pakistan Super League to name a few. A T20 match is always about to start somewhere in the world and thus fun88 fans are often in search of today toss prediction.

How does the toss affect the match odds?

The importance of toss varies according to the format, length and venue of a fun88 match. In Test matches, where the conditions are tailored to the needs of the home team, the toss can dictate the match result, especially when the home team wins it.

For our users who indulge in betting on the match result market, a more important question than toss prediction is how does the toss affect the match odds?

The toss also has a big influence in the shorter match format such as T20.

Fun88 Betting

On an overcast day, on a green surface, winning the toss and bowling first shifts the odds in favour of the bowling team. In a match among the equals, the toss has a major effect on the outcome of the match.

How does the toss affect our match predictions?

Fun88 betting analysts include all the parameters that affect the result of the match in our fun88 match prediction and fun88 betting tips. One of the questions we try to answer is – how does the toss affect our match predictions?

The coin may favour any team on any given day, but if it favours a team in the right match conditions – home/away, spinning/seaming surface, presence of dew etc – the toss can be a decisive factor.

Pray India won’t win the toss – if they do, India win 80% of matches.

Fun88 Betting

To put things in perspective, let’s take the example of India in Tests. They have built a fortress at home. In the last 10 years, India’s winning percentage after winning the toss at home is close to 80% – 24 matches, 19 wins, 2 losses and 3 draws.

You can expect fun88 betting predicting an India win if they win the toss at home in a Test match.  That is how strongly the toss can affect today match prediction.

Best Toss Prediction

A coin toss is purely a random event. The concept of best toss prediction exists only in theory. Every time the coin goes up, both teams have a 50% chance of winning the toss.

Many analysts claim to provide the best toss prediction but the reality is no one can predict the toss outcome. It is not something that can be derived, like match results, from the historical data or team form.  Don’t let anyone fool you into believing that toss outcome can be predicted.

The best thing about the toss is that is it purely unbiased. Often, in order to provide the best toss prediction, many consider the event of toss under the law of averages erroneously. What people consider the law of averages is basically, the law of large numbers.

Let me explain. It is possible for, say team A to win 80% to 90% tosses within the first 10 to 15 events against Team B. However, when the number of tosses between two teams inches towards a large number such as 100, the win probability starts to move towards 50% for both teams.

Now, a team can be on a roll against a particular in the short term, but we need to understand that it is just a snapshot in a longer time frame and that it would even out longitudinally.

The fun part is, it impossible to know when would it start moving towards the mean. That’s why best toss predictions are hard to deduce.

To understand this better, let’s take a look at the toss data of the two teams who have played the most Test matches between them – England and Australia.

Total Tosses	Australia Toss Wins	Australia Toss Win%	England Toss Wins	England Toss Win%
356	179	50.28%	177	49.72%

Coin Toss – Is there any advantage?

Although coin toss is a completely random event, the team winning the toss has better control over the rest of the match.

Winning the toss gives a 6% advantage in Tests

Fun88 Betting

That is probably why our users often ask – “coin toss – is there any advantage?” Let’s try to tackle this question with Test match data in the 21st century for 8 major Test nations.

1. Overall, the team winning the toss has won 45% of the matches as opposed to 39% wins after losing the toss. A clear 6% advantage after winning the toss.
2. Sri Lanka have been reliant on toss wins to win the Tests in the 21st century. Their win percentage of 46% after winning the toss which comes down by 15% when they lose the toss.
3. Australia, India and South Africa have won at least 50% of the matches when they won the toss – which is quite substantial given that more than 20% of Test matches end up in a draw.
4. Australia, Pakistan and South Africa have had about a 9% advantage after winning the toss while India had an 8% toss advantage.
5. Interestingly, England and West Indies have not been able to capitalize on the toss advantage. Their win % is exactly the same irrespective of the toss result.
6. The majority of the teams have a similar draw percentage irrespective of the toss result. Except for India and New Zealand, the remaining teams have drawn more matches when they lost the toss.

What does a test captain do when winning the coin toss?

So, you must be wondering – what does a test captain do when winning the coin toss? This question reminds me of an old saying in Test fun88 which goes something like this – If you win the toss in Test fun88, look at the opposition, assess the conditions, and then decide to bat first anyway.

India and Australia generally bat first after winning the toss.

Fun88 Betting

The toss data from the 21st century highlights the fact that toss winning captain in Tests prefers batting first. After all, who would want to bat last on a crumbling pitch?

Team	Total Tosses Won	Bat First	Bat First %	Bowl First	Bowl first%
Australia	114	97	85%	17	15%
England	134	97	72%	37	28%
India	104	83	80%	21	20%
Sri Lanka	106	71	67%	35	33%
South Africa	94	68	72%	26	28%
Pakistan	80	50	63%	30	38%
West Indies	100	50	50%	50	50%
New Zealand	82	39	48%	43	52%

Here are some nuggets from this data

• India and Australia would almost always bat first after winning the toss. Sri Lanka and England also bat first about 70% of the time.
• In 100 Tests in the 21st century, West Indies have batted and bowled first 50% of the time.
• New Zealand is the only country to have bowled first after winning the toss more often in the 21st century. This highlights the fact that they play at home more often where there’s enough help for the new ball bowlers.

Today Match Toss Prediction Astrology

Many people believe in astrology and seek advice while deciding on today match toss prediction. It must be emphasized that Astrology is regarded as pseudoscience. It has been falsified time and again and has no scientific validity.

The alignment of stars and planets, which is the basis for Astrology, has nothing to do with a captain winning the toss on a given day. We cannot advise our users to seek advice from astrology for today match toss prediction.

We recommend that our users accept the randomness of a coin toss and not let anyone, astrology or otherwise, fool them into believing that the outcome of the toss can be predicted with certainty.
