Default Re: Are Winrates Normally Distributed?

[ QUOTE ]
This would suggest that winrates are not normally distributed, which would mean you are more likely to run good but the bad runs will be worse.


This sentence seems backwards to me. If it is skewed to the left, there are more instances of bad, but the few big wins make up for it.

Yeah you're right. I think Josh got it mixed up.

In an extreme sense, it's like we're usually treading water with a few really good runs in between that makes our results better.
