The whole picture is BIG. Spin the wheel a few thousand times and the odds will bear out. The same is true for the battle odds. That's why trying to rely on or draw comclusions from a small amount of anecdotal evidence is not a good idea.
Everyone's (identical level) dragons are the same. To be different, the dragon would have to be coded differently in different players' games. That's not happening unless people are using radically different versions of the game. Your level 15 Diamond Dragon is exactly the same as everyone else's level 15 Diamond Dragon.
Learning about how odds, probability, and statistics apply to gambling is one if the best things players can do to gain an understanding of how the Arena works. It's the same concepts, but with dragons instead of cards or dice.
