    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈7.8k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 388 winners against 490 expected — a real stretch for a count this size. That is usually the crowd: numbers less popular than average thin the higher tiers most.
