I'm ally!  Yeah.  So when we win a single bg, we lose 10-20 bgs.  No shit.

But as I'm farming blood coins for the mount I have to replace my 
griveous/522 gear with pride/550 gear!  Today I have done 16 bgs and 
lost them all.  In my frustrated mood I decided to queue for another and 
then call it.  I entered Twin Peaks and we won it 1600/0.  Really really 
sweet ach after so much ganking.  That made a good day for me. :)

Hehe congrats, I bet that felt good! My past BG experience as Horde
(2-3 years ago) has been losing 90% of games I play, perhaps I should
try again if the balance has swung so far the other way ;-)

Odd.  It has always been 90/10 in horde's favor as far as I remember. 
But I feel its even worse now.

We were losing almost every AB I tried back in Wrath, admittedly I've
not pvp'ed much since, I got sick of constantly losing back then and
never really came back to it. Some of it's perception tbh, if you
don't play much and lose most of the ones you do try, then ofc you'll
think your side loses all the time; that's the feeling I got, anyway
;-)

Not that I pvp, loathe it, but when forced to on my server as Alliance I 
found evenings 8-11 and morning 7-8 local time Duhliance often rolled 
Whored. A bit more spread on Fridays nights and weekends , few morning 
victories on weekends. All other times may as well just ride to the 
graveyard, you will be there anyway.
Say 75% wins for 1/6 of the day , 10% wins the rest.

  This will differ of course. Depends on mix of people, their interests, 
schedules, server,group. Just there may be patterns you don't notice if 
you are also locked in a pattern. And of course to notice a pattern you 
have to have a reason to be repeating something.
When I play I play 18-24/7 so I probably notice things more, even if 
only a keyhole snapshot.

Try and play at the times you have had victories, whats to lose? :-)

Oooookay!  This is just ODD!  Eye of the storm - horde were like stoned 
at their start base.  Maybe 3-4 horde were active and we won it with 
1600/0 in 1 minute. ^^
I guess it has been planned somehow...

That would make a lot of sense, good point! :-)
