How often are your bad luck streaks?

In this game the dice can be in your favor one day and agaisnt it the other. It can also be in your favor one turn and out of favor the next turn. BUT overlying the small turns of the dice are the greater overall turns.
These bad luck streaks can continue for days, weeks, or even months.
When these bad luck streaks come it seems impossible to win. Me, THE ARMY, personally go on bad luck streak every month or so. The streak usually lasts about a week and during that time i lose and i lose big time. The dice are wretched in every game, the cards aren't in favor and everything turns negatively. I can expect to lose 75% of the games during the span. I once lost 18 out of 20 games in one of these streaks! I am currently in one of these bad luck streaks right now and have been in for about 4 days so im expecting it to continue for a few more. I get frustrated but know that this has happened to me before and know i will be breathing better soon.
My question is...
How often are these bad luck streaks for you? How long do they last? How bad are they (on average how many points do you lose)?

Thats a lot of figuring out stuff for a guy that doesnt want to think about his losing streaks!

Happens to me, without fail, every once in a while.

But people when? Like my bad luck streaks are predictable, usually every 4th or 5th week is a bad week. Does anyone else have this happen to them?

Every so often, just like clock-work.

Never been a predictable thing. I've had a game where I couldn't conquer squat
and even encountered single defended territories that were unbeatable for
several turns... regardless of the odds being supposedly in my favor.
Recently I just lost six without conquering the solo defender while in another
game I had a near perfect turn killing off nine of the opposition before my
first casualty.

Agreed. In my earlier days, 3vs1 always ends up with me loosing 2-0. Now, there's still a 50-50 chance for me winning, or loosing. Once, I had about 10 troops, asaulting a 2-troop territory, and I ended up loosing 8(or more)-0. It gets real irritating all right.

I have had three distinct periods of horrendous dice in about 8 months of play.
I have yet to discern a pattern.
Currently in one now and have been enduring it for about seven days. Let's not even think about
months of bad luck!

haha you should try not attcking 3v2, your odds on that roll will be a little less than 50%

My bad luck streaks are generated by random.org.
But seriously, I feel like some games I cannot win a roll all game, no matter when I play it. Other times I feel I can play 6 games in a row without winning a roll, come back in a few hours and can't lose a roll. I would say a rarely have a bad luck streak, not a devastating one at least.

the odds on 3-2 with me are about 10 percent i win both. and 80 percent i lose both, with 10 percent i win both.
i can pretty much gauge when i will have good dice and bad dice according to drops, and what the game looks like. whenever it is a 2-1 to eliminate someone. i am about 90 percent to the good on that.
