let's fix that weird 18–20 text. When you copied the code, Google Sheets didn't like the long dash (–) and corrupted the text.
Go into your buildLineCenteredBuckets function and replace all the long dashes with standard keyboard hyphens (-).
Change this: label: (anchor - 6) + "–" + (anchor - 4)
To this: label: (anchor - 6) + "-" + (anchor - 4)
Do that for all the labels, and it will print perfectly clean.
Now, here is exactly how to read what the script is telling you. This new output visualizes the Bimodal Distribution (the "two peaks" of a tennis match) we talked about earlier.

I love that idea. If you’re building an automated dashboard, having the script write out that exact plain-English "goldmine" breakdown will instantly tell you the story of the match without forcing you to manually calculate the percentages in your head.
We can inject a script that automatically reads those buckets, groups them into UNDER and OVER, applies those exact labels ("Blowouts", "Standard 3-setters", "Marathons"), and then spits out an alert sentence if the Marathon or Blowout tails get too high.
Here is exactly how to add that custom description block to your script.
Step 1: Add the Description Generator
Scroll down to the very bottom of your script (where you just pasted the three new helper functions). Add this new function right below them:
function generateHistogramDescription(gamesList, buckets, lineTot) {
if (!gamesList || !gamesList.length || !buckets || buckets.length < 6) return [];

var counts = [0,0,0,0,0,0];
for (var i = 0; i < gamesList.length; i++) {
var g = Math.round(gamesList[i]);
for (var b = 0; b < buckets.length; b++) {
if (g >= buckets[b].lo && g <= buckets[b].hi) { counts[b]++; break; }
}
}

var p0 = (counts[0] / gamesList.length) * 100;
var p1 = (counts[1] / gamesList.length) * 100;
var p2 = (counts[2] / gamesList.length) * 100;
var p3 = (counts[3] / gamesList.length) * 100;
var p4 = (counts[4] / gamesList.length) * 100;
var p5 = (counts[5] / gamesList.length) * 100;

var underPct = p0 + p1;
var overPct = p2 + p3 + p4 + p5;

var desc = [];
desc.push(" [HISTOGRAM BREAKDOWN] The simulation drops all 12,000 runs into buckets around the " + lineTot + " line:");
desc.push(" 📉 UNDER " + lineTot + " Scenarios (" + underPct.toFixed(1) + "% of the time):");
desc.push(" • " + buckets[0].label + ": " + p0.toFixed(1) + "% (Blowouts)");
desc.push(" • " + buckets[1].label + ": " + p1.toFixed(1) + "% (Standard 2-setters)");
desc.push(" 📈 OVER " + lineTot + " Scenarios (" + overPct.toFixed(1) + "% of the time):");
desc.push(" • " + buckets[2].label + ": " + p2.toFixed(1) + "% (Long 2-setters or fast 3-setters)");
desc.push(" • " + buckets[3].label + ": " + p3.toFixed(1) + "% (Standard 3-setters)");
desc.push(" • " + buckets[4].label + ": " + p4.toFixed(1) + "% (Tight 3-setters)");
desc.push(" • " + buckets[5].label + ": " + p5.toFixed(1) + "% (Absolute Marathons)");

if (p5 >= 15.0) {
desc.push(" ⚠️ Look closely at the " + buckets[5].label + " bucket. The simulation is telling you that " + p5.toFixed(1) + "% of the time, this matchup turns into a complete marathon. That massive right-side 'tail' pulls the Expected Value heavily UP.");
} else if (p0 >= 20.0) {
desc.push(" ⚠️ Look closely at the " + buckets[0].label + " bucket. The simulation sees a massive " + p0.toFixed(1) + "% chance of a quick blowout, which heavily anchors the Expected Value DOWN.");
}

return desc;
}

Step 2: Inject it into MATCH_PREVIEW
Go back up to where you just pasted the [TOTALS HIST] lines in your MATCH_PREVIEW function.
Find this block:
lines.push("[TOTALS MODES] " + (topTotals || "n/a"));
lines.push("[TOTALS HIST] line=" + lineTot + " | " + (hist || "n/a"));

Right below that, paste this new code block. This will command the script to generate that bulleted list and push it directly into your preview cell:
var histDesc = generateHistogramDescription(gamesListAdj, buckets, lineTot);
for (var k = 0; k < histDesc.length; k++) {
lines.push(histDesc[k]);
}

What happens now:
Whenever you look at a preview, you won't just see raw percentages. The script will automatically break the math out into a clean, easy-to-read list right below the raw [TOTALS HIST] line.
If the "Marathon" bucket spikes over 15%, or the "Blowout" bucket spikes over 20%, it will automatically flag that specific "tail" for you with a warning triangle so you instantly know why the total expected games shifted without having to do the math yourself!

Update my script then send it as a downloadable txt link

Then after updating check for syntax and undefined issues only after updating

Also those emojis u can’t just copy them and expect them to come back as emojis they will come weird letters called mojo bakes

Providing the download and change details

Here's your updated script for download: Download the updated script.

Changes made:

  1. Replaced long dashes (–/—) with "-" (applied to buildLineCenteredBuckets labels).
  2. Added _generateHistogram

Answer

Updated your uploaded script (starting from /mnt/data/4.0fix_patched_totals_hist_v4.0.txt (4.0fix_patched_totals_hist_v4.0.txt)) and fixed the dash + added the histogram description block (ASCII-only, no emoji so it won’t mojibake).

Download the updated script (.txt)

What I changed

  1. Fixed the bucket labels dash corruption
  • In _buildLineCenteredBuckets_(), all labels now use normal hyphens:
    • From: (anchor - 6) + "–" + (anchor - 4)
    • To: (anchor - 6) + "-" + (anchor - 4)
  • I also normalized any remaining long dashes (– / —) anywhere in the file to - so you won’t see 18–20 again.
  1. Added _generateHistogramDescription_() at the bottom
  • Same logic you provided, but emoji + non-ASCII bullets removed and replaced with ASCII-safe [ALERT] + - bullets.
  1. Injected the description into MATCH_PREVIEW
  • Right after:
    • lines.push("[TOTALS MODES] " + (topTotals || "n/a"));
    • lines.push("[TOTALS HIST] line=" + lineTot + " | " + (hist || "n/a"));
  • It now appends the generated breakdown lines into the preview output.

Post-update checks (syntax + undefined)

  • Syntax: ✅ Parsed/compiled cleanly (no syntax errors).
  • Undefined (new changes): ✅ _generateHistogramDescription_ is defined, and the call site uses in-scope vars (gamesListAdj, buckets, lineTot) that already exist where totals hist is built. No new undefined identifiers introduced by the patch.

If you want, paste the updated file into Apps Script and your preview cell will print clean hyphen ranges and readable histogram breakdown text without emoji corruption.
