    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.5k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 1 winner against 0.08 expected — a real stretch for a count this size. That is usually the crowd: numbers more popular than average swell the higher tiers most.
