Nice plots. In the 52% graph, the biggest winner is up more than 600 on the smallest winner. This is on only 8 runs of 32k. If we take runs of 320,0000, 32 million, 32 billion, the difference (in # of tosses won) between the biggest winner and biggest loser will INCREASE. Which "person" is the biggest winner and the biggest loser would likely change, but the difference between the two will increase. This is common sense to many people, but some others disagree vehemently, using the old "it all evens out in the end" argument.
