Over 306 matches (Mar 2012 – Oct 2026), J Beaton drew 64 where the draw model expected 74.8 from those particular fixtures — about 11 fewer, or 1.4 standard errors, a gap most teams show over a stretch this long.

As unusual as a coin landing the same way 3 times running. A flat league average would have expected 75.0 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
