"The harder you work, the luckier you get!" is a good saying but that is not really luck. It's the reward for hard work. In my lifetime, while I was standing there & watching, I've seen both incredible good luck & also incredible bad luck. Luck definitely exists. It can be a random event totally outside any expectation & reasoning.

The reward for hard work is success. The reward for practice is improvement. If luck can be explained, it is NOT luck. I was at a roulette table in Brighton many years ago. There were system players & heavy punters on the table & a little old granny putting her £1 on zero every roll. Zero landed 3 times in 5 spins wiping everyone out except granny who was over the moon. That was good luck for her & bad luck for everyone else. That is what luck does!

system players, heavy punters and little old grannies will all go bust if they play roulette for long enough.

They will unless they have infinite luck.

Is there such a thing as luck? Is a guy who backs a winner lucky and the guy who backs a loser unlucky.
Someone gets hit by a car people say wow you broke a leg but you were lucky you didn't get killed. He was hit by a car and yet he was lucky give over |

Luck will only sit with you for a short period of time so use it wisely.
|
|
By:
The fact that we (humans or any living entities) are here is luck.
|
|
By:
Yeah, but is it good or bad luck?
|
|
By:
Mick, the guy in your example had bad luck to be hit by the car, but also good luck to still be alive

It's called the Devil's Wheel for a reason. That's just because the numbers from 1 to 36 when all added together = 666  While obviously you can't win in the long term - In reality (assuming there is only one zero on the wheel), the approx 102.7% book you are betting into is a better "value" bet than the vast majority of bets that are available from the mainstream gambling industry. So the maths will actually only kill you very, very slowly - but obviously frequency of play (and addiction) are the issue for most players! |

its amazing that they built Las Vegas on a 2.7% overround. Bookies at York had a 140% overround in some races. Imagine what they could build with that.

Luck is not totally random - I often think im an unlucky punter and bad things happen to my bets [DQs, falling at the last, poor jocks, trainers like Mullins and Elliott messing about] but probably thats just lkife. However when i occasionally get a run of good luck [never that long] I should know bad luck and losses will quickly ensue UNLESS i try and reduce stakes, take a break, or try to be ultra-sensible!It's taking me a long while to learn this lesson.

Ask someone who has a general positive outlook on life if they are lucky or unlucky and they will say lucky....and vice versa.
|

By:
Not true Mr Tiger. Look at the over round on some inside bets on craps. Craps is a very popular game in Vegas & the roulette wheel has double zeros not one zero.
|
|
By:
York races probably have only approx 120 "events/markets" in a year.
I'd hazard a guess that just one roulette wheel (even if only in use for 12 hours/day) could manage about 130,000 "events/markets" in a year! |
|
By:
No such thing as luck. There are just things that happen. Whether those events elicit favourable or unfavourable emotions is irrelevant. What we feel is real, but we reach for a crutch to explain things that require no explanation.
|
|
By:
The real point is whether we can influence the things that happen, and the famous Gary Player quote is just a clever way of saying the same thing.
|
|
By:
Everyone must make up their own minds. I was sceptical that luck existed until I witnessed the 2 events I mentioned previously. I won't reveal what they were.
