Your answers fall short of recognizing, that the length of a match (i. e. the number of rolls for a side) depends on the actual rolls. So it might quite well be even more unlikely to have 8 double fives in a game with 20 rolls, than 8 double fives in twenty rolls. Or it is less unlikely. I am at least pretty sure to say, that it is not the same.
