I'd be happy with 11/10 if I knew that the coin was going to be tossed a lot of times.0

Sorry, I don't think this works at all - it depends entirely on whether individuals can afford to lose the £100 stake or not. The amount of the stake, and the odds you're prepared to bet at, are directly related.
Eg, if the stake was only £1, then I'd probably have a punt at 1:50 (ie 50:1 against me winning; however I really couldn't afford to lose £100, so even odds of 2:1 wouldn't tempt me...0 -
Then just for fun, we tossed the coin. He called tails, it landed on my hand - and it was heads. At the result Darren jumped up and shouted “yesss, winner!”0
