Your rating now is provisional till I think 20 games are played and prov ratings go up and down in a flash. It only settles down to normal math after you get a permenant rating.

I checked your game history and don't see where your rating dropped as you describe.

prior to winning my last game, my rating was 1510, and I won a game against flank game, and it went to 1492.

Sonhouse gave you the right answer. Until you've played 20 games your rating can drop if you beat lower ranked players.

Hey Trev, did I ask you if you played Irish music or interested in Irish music? Attend sessions or any of that? I play guitar and mandolin and had some nice sessions in Dublin one fine evening a few years ago. One band let me play onstage with them, the Dingleberries. Ever hear of them? Pub band.
