Additional note, if the 1 and 7 are discarded, the 4 will also be made safe as the 1 rules out the possibility of a 2-3 and the 7 rules out the possibility of a 5-6
As you correctly say, this situation only covers whether he is trying to do a chī with the mentioned numbers. Also, hypothetically, the information is time-limited. Supposing he has a 3 at the time of discarding the 4, say because his hand has lots of pairs waiting for the third one and he has to reluctantly drop one, but he then picks up a 2, he will then have the ability to chī on a dropped 1. But hey, Mahjong tends to deal with probabilities, rather than certainties!
Just a quick question. Why is 147 safe? If the opponent throws 4 he may want a 678. Or is this strategy with the caveat that they would not want a ka long and wait for the middle tile?
It means that if he throws 4, 7 is 'safer' for you to discard because he doesnt have 5 and 6. Of course he might still have 6 and 8, but very unlikely because waiting for middle tiles is considered more risky
Thanks! This has so far indeed increased my winning rate 👍🏻
Great to hear. Good luck!

thank you. I learned to play last year with the Yakuza 0 game and I am still weak. this helped
Interesting way of thinking! hope this increases my chance of winning :D
Good luck!
If I have 1124 I will throw 4 to bait 上家 throw 1 or 3 ，you need to consider that depending on your opponent’s strategy of playing

Thank you, very clear!
i can have 489 and throw 4 so in this case 7 is not safe to throw right?

Thanks Alica.
Indeed, this strategy is "good-to-know" to increase your odds of winning instead of 100% guaranteed win.
Thanks for the video! This is gonna be useful for Chinese new year 😏
Glad it is helpful. Good Luck!!
