Eligius was the only pool who used to be lucky and paid more than avg earnings, This point became a past lol. bad luck is haunting around eligius.
Come on, think again about what you just wrote : "was the only pool paying above average".
Per your reasoning, now no pool is paying above average ? Nonsense !

Good luck and bad luck are like weather : after the rain, sunny weather, and so on. The "average" is a long-term average around which these variable luck periods do occur.
Just wait it out, good luck will be back around soon enough.
