The higher the League the slower!

Try looking at it this way:
(Note this is demonstrative, obviously you cant have half or a quarter of a game)
Assume for every two games you start, one stalls because you are about to win, and the other you lose.
Start 20 Games, Lose 10, 10 Stall
Start 10 New Games, Lose 5, 5 Stall
Start 5 New Games, Lose 2.5, 2.5 Stall
Start 2.5 New Games, Lose 1.25, 1.25 Stall
Start 1.25 New Games, Lose .75, .75 Stall
...

Now you have 19.5 Games you "Won" but are stalled, and you just lost 19.5. You may have lost ~20 games in a row, but you also won ~20 games, therefore, the law of averages is still on your side
