Why am I never favored?

[Genopath]

I have never been favored. Ever. Even being bumped from Silver to Gold, I am still playing people who are favored. I've had *one* even game. ONE. Why is that?

It's better to not be favored. If you win, you get a lot of points. You lose, you only lose a little like less than 5 generally.

Is it better to have been a favored and lost? than never to have been a favored at all ?

I've never been favored, ever. Even vs. players that are ranked lower than I am.

The last two or three days, the majority of my games have all been even. What's funny is that after I win an even game, I always seem to face someone who is slightly favored or favored right after. I usually lose this game and then my next game is even again.
