Also, one should point out that there is no 'race' to get a block. No one can 'beat' you to finding a block, since you just keep modifying your work each time 'anyone' finds a block and continue on. Someone else finding a single block has no effect on your chances.
The only issue related to that, is that every 2016 blocks found, difficulty changes.
You are expected to find, on average, if you find a large number of blocks, close to one block per every 100% of share difficulty you mine. This doesn't mean when difficultymined/currentdifficulty = 100%, since difficulty changes.
It means when you add up the value of each share you mine as a % as share/difficulty, at the time the share was calculated, you are expected, on average, to find about 1 block per 100% of share/difficulty you mine.
When solo mining, the value of a share is zero unless it's a block, but the value share/difficulty as a %, is still correct to determine expected results.
