I'm not sure I understand. But if you don't take draws into account, then your
results are not OK.
For example, when there is a very high probability of draws, then the actual
error margin is much smaller than normal.
If the probability of draw is 0 (as it seems to be in your program), then your
error margins are going to be overevaluated.
