The steppers skip 1, 2 and 4. Points come in fives, threes and twos with a conversion needing a try in front of it, so no match has ever finished on any of them.

Where that lands
Scarlets by 75+levelBlack Lion by 75+

12.3% of runs finished in this bin — Scarlets by 8 to 12.

53 points is around the 56th percentile of the total — the middle run scored 50.

Those two figures are separate readings and are not multiplied together. The simulation draws the gap and the amount of scoring independently, so one bar of the histogram covers many scorelines and the payload holds nothing about which of them came up with which gap.

What the model says
Black Lion 29.1%Scarlets 68.4%average 22–30

Your pick agrees with the model on the more likely winner, Scarlets. Nothing here scores any of it. The model’s gap is an average over both winners and yours is one afternoon, so the two are different kinds of number rather than one being right. How the model works.

Why Black Lion are not favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Black Lion winning. It starts at an even 50%, and each line below adds to that or takes from it, in percentage points (pp): a bar to the right helps Black Lion, a bar to the left helps Scarlets.

The fixture

Black Lion and Scarlets have no fixture on the published schedule, so there is no ground, no kick-off forecast and no team sheet to put beside this. The prediction itself does not need any of them.

2 meetings — Black Lion 1, Scarlets 1. Last 2024: Scarlets 36–18 Black Lion.

None of this reaches the model. Weather is not a feature, team selection is not a feature and the record is already inside both ratings, so the probability above does not move because any of it changed.
