I think you bring up something interesting in Post #5.
The odds on a die roll are 1 in 6. If you choose 4 and I choose 5, and it lands on 4, you were as equally lucky as I was unlucky.
If you successfully guess correctly the next 99 die rolls, someone could say that are incredibly lucky, having beaten the 1 in 6^100 odds.
Or someone could just say you beat the 1 in 6 odds, 100 times.
The association with luck is derived from the consistency of beating the odds. A series of fortunate events.
Luck is just a word for the phenomenon of repeated success. I don't think it's actually some mystical force. |
