Why am I getting so many points on my Rapid games?

The last 3 games I won in Rapid format Ive gotten 12 points twice and 11 points, and 2 of the opponents were rated less than me? Ive also played over 1300 games for rapid, any idea why this happened?

You got many points since you didn't play for a long time. Since you didn't play, your rating deviation (how sure the system thinks your rating is accurate or smthing) became higher, so every time you win or lose, you win or lose a lot of points since the your rating might not be accurate anymore.
