It wasn't about the coin flip. He wanted to go to LA in the first place and would've barged through ANY metaphysical reason to make it happen. If NY won the coin flip, he would've made it "3 out of 5" - if NY won again, he would've made it "5 out of 7" and so on - until he ended up in LA, the warm climate that he was looking for. That coin toss story is a thing BECAUSE it's a gag - we are meant to see how determined he was to get to LA, not because of career or destiny or acting even, but just because he wanted to go to LA.
