Another number, another Special prize — and why that still isn't proof of anything

Yesterday I bet on Sports Toto using 4DPAU™'s own top-10 frequency list again — this time an iPerm system bet covering all 24 unique permutations of 6197, the number ranked #10 in the report: the least frequent number on the list, last seen back on 17 June. One of those 24 permutations, 9716, landed in the Special prize tier of the actual draw.

This is the second time something like this has happened since launch — see First Strike for the first. I want to be more careful this time, not less, about what that does and doesn't mean.

I'm choosing to publish this one too, for the same reason as the first: it's real, and hiding it would be its own kind of dishonesty. But I also don't want two data points to quietly start reading like a track record, so I'll say it directly — if you're using 4DPAU™, these two field notes are not the reason to trust the numbers, and the absence of a note on any other draw day is not evidence either way. The product is, and stays, an honest historical record. Read it like a ticket, not a tip, on this draw and on every one before and after it.

Update: there was a third one, the following day — see Third Strike, which is where this series ends.
