In the game in example 1, there 6 sets of doubles prior to bearing off and 2 sets of doubles once bearing off, but you likely didn't care until bearing off. Similarly, in example 2, there were 2 sets of doubles prior to bearing off, and 3 sets once bearing off. Each game has more than 36 rolls in it so one would expect to see on average 6 sets of doubles. Since it is random, it will happen at different times throughout the game. Please refer to FAQ regarding the dice.

Dear friend,
Just check out the following game to understand what it means to be a victim of a series of merciless double rolls!
Enjoy (just see the final 5 rounds):

Wow, amazingly unlucky, Artin!
Of course you were expected to lose anyway, but losing a gammon seems really unfair

I hope you didn't go out and buy a lottery ticket that day, as your luck definitely wasn't in!!!

don't understand this.
Dice again rescue a game for opponent. Two more times to "TWO SETS" of doubles while I win one like that. This one is the 28th loss in similar circumstances, I have now won three times. He rolls 6-6 and 1-1 to get 8 men off while I roll 3-1 and 2-1 to get only one off each roll and leave one man and lose with a man on the 2 pt. We each had two rolls and he got 8 men off while I got 2 to lose this one. Unreal how much luck that is and how often that happens. Someone told me it will even out over the long haul--well I have 25 wins coming if it does. (28-3 so far) LOL---
