Yes thats working fine so, lets say the pot was $100 and AA vs KK your 80% fav that means the pot is $200 and you should win 80% on average i.e $160, if you win the hand you win $200 which is $40 more than you will on average so its recorded as -$40 if you lost it would be positive

If its over a sample size greater than 1 yes that is quite possible, theres a quite detailed video on this that explains EV great as it can be a tricky thing to get your head around
