It might just be your rating compared to your opponents.  Say if you have like 2000 and playing some one that is 1400 you would have much more skill level so it would be expected you will win by an extreme measure.

Hi lighthouse.

Maybe the games that u won that did not increase your rating was unrated?

unrated games does not affect your points

If you're talking about the two recent games where you beat 1100's and you were 1900+, the rating difference was too high for you gain even 1 rating point.
