A game’s daily streams are independent drawings, even though they share a date. Differences you see here are sample noise — no stream “runs hotter” than another.

Spreads this small (typically < 1 pt) are exactly what independent random sampling produces. The streams are separate drawings with the same odds — this is a sanity check, not a signal.
