Protection during off days

Sara

Explain me this.

If I am On combination birth control on a 28-day cycle and I am protected during the placebo week as long as I start back up with the next pack immediately once the dummy pills end, why am I not protected if I take a 3 day break due to spotting on a combination continuous cycle pill?

It just doesn't add up
