As the two before me have said, ELO gains and losses aren't decided simply by whether you win or lose a game.

You will, first, win more during your first 10 ranked games. I've won most of my earlier games, which elevated my ELO. My gains were around 40 a game. Losses were at around 30 as well. This means you can win as much as 400 ELO and lose about the same amount as well, depending on how good you are and how lucky you get with your teammates.

Second, even outside of the first 10 games, if you're playing against a higher ELO and win, you gain more. If you lose against a lower ELO, you will lose more.

No offense, but you haven't really proven anything. You just showed off how little effort you did in figuring out why yours is low relative to someone else.
