From my experience, it isn't. They even factor in the percentage when considering advantage/disadvantage on the attack roll, which is why you have displayed chances such as 99%, 36% or 88% given that you get to throw the dice twice and have to take the higher/lower roll.

I personally can't relate to what you are experiencing at all. Given that you have expressed to be very unlucky in general, this may be mostly confirmation bias ("Ah, see, I'm unlucky again" -- except for the many times you aren't). smile
