It IS rare, as it should be. A lot of new owners come into the forum and complain that they don't win right away (not implying this is you, just don't let it become you). The problem is, they are facing owners who are fielding their 5th team, their 20th, or their 100th team, and all of whom also expect to win. For every team that wins, there has to be one that loses (well almost but you get the point). If the other owners have any learning curve at all, then you shouldn't expect to finish over .500. Its just not realistic. Read the forums a lot (not sure how helpful they are anymore). Ask questions if you can't find the answer via the 'search' tool. Hopefully those questions are more geared towards 'How does the sim work?" rather than "Who should I draft so I can win more games?".
Good luck!
