Probability of getting a 2-2 split as useless:

23/30 * 21/28 * 7/26 * 7/24 +
23/30 * 7/28 * 19/26 * 7/24 +
7/30 * 21/28 * 19/26 * 7/24 +
23/30 * 7/28 * 7/26 * 17/24 +
7/30 * 21/28 * 7/26 * 17/24 +
7/30 * 7/28 * 19/26 * 17/24 =

4.5% + 4.1% + 3.7% + 3.7% + 3.3% + 3.0% =

22%

So if we have several useless ones out, it's not surprising to get a 2-2 split.
