    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.0k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 1 plus Bonus — 91 winners against 65 expected — a real stretch for a count this size. That is usually the crowd: numbers more popular than average swell the higher tiers most.
