I hereby propose an addendum to Murphy's Law, Nuffle's Law of Blood Bowl Probability:
The odds of making a successful roll in Blood Bowl are inversely proportional to that roll's importance in your overall strategy.
And the Shepherd Corollary to Nuffle's Law:
The odds of failing a roll in Blood Bowl are directly proportional to the comedy value of a disastrous failure. |

"Rolling a double on a skill roll doubles the odds of aging."
"Rolling a +stat increase triples the chances of dying on-pitch within 5 games."
"Regen will only work on 30k rookie zombies. 110k advanced mummies are doomed to die (again)."
"Give a blodger the ball, and guarantee the opposing team, w/o tackle, will manage to POW you down."
"Injuries incurred via failed GFI's shall be given a +5 to breaking of armor/cas."
There's a million more...what's your favorite? |

How about the Curse of the Dark Elves:
A 2+ roll will fail 25% of the time, and 50% of the time if the ball is involved at some stage. |

A gfi which crosses the goal line will fail half the time. If a reroll is available, it will fail 5 out of 6 times. |

Holy crap, I've spawned a monster.
I'd argue most of these fall under the general Rule of Probability... the more crucial the play, the more likely the dice will turn on you. |

There is also the Mysterious Disastrous Misclick Law: The probability of a Disastrous Miscklick is proportional to the time you took planning the play.
So, play fast. |

Id say, the probability that one of you will remember a good roll are inversely proportional to you bitching about a poor roll 
In numbers that probability would be 0 and 1 |

I actually was playing the other day, and, on the last turn, commented (since I was losing), "At least no one died. I lost a ghoul each of the previous games I've played" and on his last move, a blitz, a one die block SIs my ghoul.... It's a jinx. But it always is true:
"The more you feel the last bit of the game doesn't matter, the more it will make sure you suffer for ignoring it" |

The odds of getting a negative result on a roll in Blood Bowl are proportional to your desire for that roll to work.
For example : 1 GFI needed to win a game in the last turn = 5/6 chance of failure.
Leaping a strip ball wardancer into a cage, 2 dice against block, and then that player catching the ball = 5/6 chance of success.
Chance of wardancer still being on his feet for your next turn = 5/6 chance of success
Chance of wardancers long pass being intercepted by a troll in 2 tackle zones = 5/6 |

If the potential touch down is vital to the outcome of the game the chances of the armour being broken and that player dieing are increased immeasurably
I'M STILL BITTER!!!! |

Jan's Postulate of Double Skulls Ubiquity
Double Skulls always happen in the first block of your turn.
First Corollary to Jan's law:
if you reroll the first block, Double Skulls happen in the first and second block of your turn. |
