In the pair of games Walter mentioned he is rated about 2400 and me about 2000. We have both played between 130 and 150 games.

In the first, I won and moved up 13 points. Walter moved down 8 points. So far so good.

In the second he won and moved up 8 points and I moved down 13 points.

This was a zero gain for both. I would expect to move up a bit after splitting the games. Of course it has worked out well for me when I split against lower players, so I'm not complaining, I just don't think the formula is a good one.
