Clearly a trap - as the linemakers are just baiting you towards betting on heads.
That reminds me of my favorite bookmaker lament.....

After the Superbowl in the early 80s when the Raiders crushed the absurdly favored Redskins, I was talking to a friend of mine, who's also a bookmaker, and I asked him how he did on the game. He said " You know, I honestly expect to lose money on the Super Bowl every year, and that's OK, but how did everyone know the Coin Flip was gonna be heads? "
