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.
