You cannot extrapolate that much from a single set of games like this.
{Especially if the setup for one of the systems is not optimal.}

Imagine a game where I flip a penny.  I have to get two heads in a row to win a
penny, and you have to get a single tail to win the same penny.  Is it
impossible that I should flip ten heads in a row and win a nickel even with a
fair coin and fair tosses?  Not at all.  In fact the odds are 0.0009765625 or
about one in a thousand.
