- Retric 11y agoIn that case you don't need to bias the coin, you can flat out learn to do a normal looking coin flip with catch and get a biased result.

- baxter001 11y agoThat's not biasing the coin itself though, it's rigging the whole flipping procedure. If I toss a fair die and catch it in mid air with a robotic arm and high-speed camera so that I always catch it with the two face on top, it's still an unbiased die.
