You might be interested to know that, in the Bayesian inference experiments that I am currently running, I use the statistical model of Rao and Kupper, in which one draw is equivalent to one win and one loss. My experiments indicate that this model fits the data very well in the case of computer games. So, it seems that statistics confirm your intuition. Also, regarding the number of replies, it is usual that the most interesting posts do not get many replies. Please don't stop posting whatever you find interesting. Rémi
