Let's say, for simplicity's sake, that the chance of winning a name with a snap is 50%.

The chance of losing 8 in a row would therefore be one in 256.

Looks like you were that number 256. Bad luck.

50% highly unlikely and not based on any factual data.
I think the real problem is that I only snap worthwhile domains

there is no question snapnames blows all others. DropWizard seems to have died and NameWinner does well except that bids go crazy. So far SnapNames have gotten 2 out of 2 domains that I have wanted. Today was the domain I have been waiting for!!! I love SnapNames!!!

I had a mixed bag . I got two names through namewinner.com , each for $25 even though I had snap on both. I also got two names through snapnames.com even though I has $25 bids for each at nw.

Sounds like the winnign strategy is to sue both SN and NW in conjunction. If NW wins, you can still use the $69 credit to try another name. If SN wins, NW doesn't get any money.

I just lost a name I had snapped to a NW bidder. Pissed me off so bad, I double-back-ordered my more important names using both (high bid proxy on SN). Seems like a sensible strategy to me.

I have had a lot of success with SnapNames. I'm not sure of the stats, but of the names I had snaps on that actually dropped I would be about 75% successful. I only Snap one-word and three-letter names. I bought my first snapback not long after they started in 2001, and they have been quite consistent over that time.

NameWinner has been quite successful also, but I've noticed the bids are usually more than you could sell the name for.
