Practice not being too literal # 46

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

Today's phrase is, "It's a toss up."

Good luck!

Let’s toss a coin. (toss up a coin)

Lo echamos a cara o cruz.

In other words it is a 50 / 50 chance.

En otras palabras, es una oportunidad de 50/50.
