        For the sake of clarity, since the significant figure is the one
in MWC, 
        I would put the EMG lucks in brackets (right now the MWC lucks
are in 
        brackets). Swapping the two should have no impact on money
sessions, 
        since for money the two are equal (equities). 
        
        Also, the label "Luck rate (total)" followed by something like 
        "-0.920 ( -5.335%)" is misleading: it looks like that "(
-5.335%)" 
        is the "(total)" ... 
        
        What about this: 
        
        Luck rate, total (EMG)                    +16,885% (-0,068)
-13,908% (+0,178)   
        Luck rate, per move (EMG)                  +0,241% (-1,0)
-0,196% (+2,5)   
        
        For money it would be something like: 
        
        Luck rate, total (EMG)                    -0,068 (-0,068)
+0,178 (+0,178)   
        Luck rate, per move (EMG)                  -1,0 (-1,0)
+2,5 (+2,5)   
        
        MaX. 
        
This has always confused me a bit. I think that Max's layout is clearer.

For money, I assume the EMG can differ from the total if all your bad
luck was on high cubes and your good luck on low cubes (it never happens
the other way round ;) That is, the EMG is normalised to a 1-cube,
right?
