Checked out a player online today played 1003 games won 523 giving a % win of 52.14% rating 2471 My win % is over 53% rating 1500. Can someone please explain how this works? Thanks



Ratings are not the same as win%

Ratings depend on many factors:
* the initial ratings of both opponents (always)

* the result (always)
* how many games both opponents have played (in the case when one or both of the opponents played fewer than 20 games) Those who played fewer than 20 games are rated provisionally.

So am I correct in assuming it is a current form guide and not how good a player is?



A full set of player stats is necessary to form an opinion about a player

All player stats tell you something about a player. Total win %, % wins in Ticket games, total matches played, Ladder ranking. Rating may or may not be an important.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!. According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!).   The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
