Was it bonus xp? were you carrying a follower?

I used to send lower levels if I had a high chance and a slot free 
thinking they were red, must be good xp ,right?.
But no, apparently red means less xp, and less chance on the bonus,

I just read 95% as better than 90%, you can still lose, and nothing to 
stop me having a 20 run losing streak at 95%. Apparently you can still 
lose at 100%. Forums have some people complaining about at loss at 75%, 
I think 30% is usually worth a shot just for the basic xp, if it gets a 
bonus that is as...bonus:-)
