Can someone explain how this is possible?

Compute the statistics, it should be 1/1000 chance, and still this is the way each game goes, you can fortify but then the opponent has infinite luck.
It's a critical point in the game that those two successive losses happened, but luck goes both ways:

The "dice" here are fair. I've played approx. 3000 games - sometimes the dice are so in my favor I feel bad about it, sometimes they are so against me it doesn't matter how good I play.

So the thing about a 1/1000 chance is that it happens about once every thousand times. Since there are lots of people playing lots of games, this sort of thing is a daily if not hourly occurrence.

Yep - 1/1000 means it's likely to happen about thousand times given a million opportunities. Given all the bad beat posts that hit these forums, I'm afraid many of us don't blink an eye unless the probability is in the 1/10,000 or worse range.
