The game's tactics won't show themselves until you've played to win, attentively, a few times. Unskilled play is fun but random - like unskilled play in Settlers of Catan, say - and I think that's what you're seeing.
It's a learning curve, but it's a pretty quick one. Play half a dozen games and you'll find that you can tactically judge the real moves, adapt to changing circumstances, play safe when you need to and take educated risks when you can.
Like, I win 3 games out of 4. I know when to try to hide (almost never), when to confront a ghost (only when you're sure), and when to stay in a room for one more draw even though I could bolt now (about half the time).
