How would you say your luck is at success mode? Do you get geniuses, Dr.Goodjob, and perfect practices?

I'd have to say my luck is quite terrible when it comes to Success mode, I frequently have to reload 5+ times for a 60% gamble, and it takes forever for me to get abilities I need from random events (I had to delete a player because he missed something). As for perfect practices, I consider myself lucky to not get injured twice on 0% chance.
For Dr.Goodjob, I very rarely see him, but he doesn't destroy my character too often.
Last but not least, at the end screen, not only do I fail a couple 50-70% chance gambles, my Gambler's Ring frequently breaks too, meaning I can't afford another Wax.

Oh please. 5+ is that all? I missed a 90% gamble twice in a row. That means I'm suppose to get a 10% twice in a row. But I did get 5% on my 1st try. I only had GJ twice. One was successful. I always get injured. Gambler's Ring breaks easily for me. I was reloading like up to 25 to 50 times for a 11% gamble. I got the gamble. I was like YES! But the Ring broke so I reloaded. It took me 4 days of playing at least 4 hrs a day to get 4 SoP. 4 freaking days. My luck is horrible compared to yours. I even pitched a perfect game and lost the rematch. :(

Only 25-50 for 11%?

I have reload hundreds of times for that, and that's not counting that the first few times the ring breaks.

Its really tiring. Espically for SoP. And reloading for special abilities from Patty. Took like 50ish reloads to just get "lucky". And there is safe pitch too.

I have NEVER gotten a 97% gamble to work when I don't save. NEVER. Oh for two. :(

Other than that fact, I'm pretty lucky, but at the wrong times. For example, a few days ago I'm making a player I want to be realistic and he gets a Goodjob. i decided since I've saved the week before to go for signing the document. It works. So now he's way better than I anticipated. Not sure if that's good or bad.

30 minutes-1 hour to get a Gambler's Ring.
Haven't seen Goodjob since David Wrong.
Gamblingwise, I'm as inconsistent as Adam LaRoche was.
Sometimes I'll get a 10-20% on the first try, other times it'll take half an hour.
on a 66% upgrade for tyrone paige, i missed it 10 straight times.

I am normally pretty lucky with Goodjob's but not with the gambler's ring.

When I already have a Gambler's Ring and start reloading for Secrets of Hitting, I get 6 or more Gambler's Rings and several Secrets of Pitching and Defense before I ever get SoH.
