average Euchre win ratio at World of Card Games

Some Euchre players may be interested to know where they stand in their win/loss statistics at World of Card Games. If you don't want to know, stop reading now! ☺

In September of 2015, I computed the win ratio for Euchre players who had completed at least 100 games. I used the numbers that produce the "Absolute win/loss ratio" shown under your "stats" link. Below you will see the distribution of players by win percents. There's one player who has managed to attain a win ratio of > 70%. There are 15 with win ratios between 60-70%... most players come in around 40-50%, which I still think is really very good (especially because that's where my stats stand!).

Personally, I don't care about my statistics at all. Well, maybe a tiny bit, because I do look at them once in a blue moon. But when I'm playing, it is just for fun. This is what matters to me most.

There is some speculation about just how good you can get with your statistics; how much of Euchre is a matter of luck, and how much is skill. Some people think the best you can do is somewhere around 66%... and these statistics support that idea.
