Why did you two consider it more acceptable to make a decision through a coin toss? Because a coin has two sides,obverse and reverse. If you throw it up,you will expect to see either the obverse or the reverse.The chance that the obverse appears is equal to the chance that the reverse does. Hence,the probability that you make the right guess and get the ticket is the same as the probability for your friend.So both of you admit that your chance are equal
