The Law of Large Numbers (is Not the Gambler's Fallacy)

Flip a fair coin four times and somehow get four heads in a row. Surely the next one has to be tails, right? Wrong - and the real story is far more elegant than the gambler's intuition. It's called the law of large numbers, and it explains why running averages quietly settle toward the true mean as you collect more data.

We build it from the ground up: the sample mean as a running average, three random paths converging to 0.5, the formal theorem statement, why the variance shrinks like sigma squared over n, and the surprising twist at the end - the law of large numbers does not "correct" past flips, it drowns them in the sheer mass of everything that comes after.
