Hi Franceso. Error rates are "normalised". That is, they are adjusted to make them all match the size that the error would be if you were playing a money game and the cube were at 1.
Luck takes into account the match score. For example, a lucky 66 makes a much bigger difference to the overall result of the match if comes in a bearoff at double match point rather in game 1 of an 11 pointer.

I try analyse every match I play. Now and then The Error rate stat and the Luck adjusted result are discordant: that is, one player seems to have performed better — sometimes, way better — in one stat and worse — sometimes, way worse — on the other. I understand these are two different calculations and cannot be compared with simple algebra. Can someone come up with a simple example where why Error rate is lower than my opponent but the Luck adjusted result is in his favour? Thanks and happy rolls —F
