You are right (andmy previous affirmation of the two figures being equal for money is plain wrong, of course). Right now you have normalized equities and, in brackets, non normalized ones. E.g., a last roll situation with the cube at various levels and the nasty 2-1 coming out for player MaX (only losing roll): CUBE AT 1 gnubg MaX Luck rate (total) +0.247 ( +0.247) -1.889 ( -1.889) CUBE AT 2 gnubg MaX Luck rate (total) +0.247 ( +0.247) -1.889 ( -3.778) CUBE AT 4 gnubg MaX Luck rate (total) +0.247 ( +0.247) -1.889 ( -7.556) Once again, the really meaningful figure (in terms of luck measure) is the one in brackets (non-normalized one), hence my proposal to switch the two figures. As you said, if you have normalized -X bad luck on low cubes and symmetrical good normalized luck (+X) on high cubes, the normalized figure will be 0, but in fact you've been lucky. MaX.
