Sigma is the uncertainty around your Mu. New players are assigned a Sigma of 25/3 (8.333...), and sigma tends towards zero until it settles to a value of approximately 1 after a few hundred games. The value of sigma is synonymous with the experience of a player. The lower your sigma, the more games you've played, and by implication the more experience you have. Sigma tends towards zero regardless of whether you've won or lost a game.
Low values for sigma lead to small changes being applied to your Mu, since the system is relatively confident that it has managed to settle on your true skill rating.
