Again, luck is just a probability. Do you know that there's many things other people have found before you that you never realized? Did you know that when that person stole, he had that preplaned for some time, and that he probably has stole form someone else? Just because you found it before somebody else, does not make you any "luckier" than anyone else. Just because someone has a problem finding money and decides and plan to steal from someone, does not mean that, that person is any unluckier. It just means it was the right place at the right time. There's nothing, other than people themselves, that improve or worsen probabilities.

The only thing that I would pass as luck is the thought of something low chance happening to you by mere coincidence. There's no such thing as luck. There's no such thing as looking it at it from different ways. It's just there.

Yeah... captain obvious, we all know that luck isn't real. It is just a nice justification for things that would take too long to truthfully explain. If you are to good for simple things like that, screw off. Don't give us some big "holy sh!t I no so muchz" speech.

...Wait, did I post in the wrong thread, or did my ridiculous reply vaporize? I could have sworn I hit post...

Well, it's definitely not here, and I can't remember all of it, so it loses a ton of what it was (or, in most of my cases, wasn't), so it wouldn't be worth posting anymore...

Oh well. I'm sure it'll resurface as something worthwhile somewhere else.

I don't believe in it. If I find a penny on the ground (which is supposed to bring good luck), and then later I find ten bucks on the ground, it's just a coincidence. The penny didn't magically make the ten bucks appear.

I don't believe in luck. If something happens, it's because it's supposed to happen. That's all.

We had a raffle drawing at our school, and i put one ticket in for a ps2 (at a dollar a ticket, a lot of people had put in about $20 worth).  My friend at the time actually had given me the ticket. And I won the PS2.  So i got it for nothing.  It was pretty sweet.

Note: This post is incorrect. It should read "bastard who was subject to events in which a low probability occurence took place purely by coincidence". Please make a mental note of this to prevent confusion.

Again, luck is just a probability. Do you know that there's many things other people have found etc.

What I call luck is being in the right place at the right moment, and bad luck is obviously the opposite. I know there is no such thing as lucky charms (not the cereals) or whatever that will increase your luck. Now if you prefer to call it "event in which a low probability occurence took place purely by coincidence", then go on! I still call it luck or bad luck.

Why, because we don't type big paragraphs to explain that luck isn't real and that calling any rare events luck is wrong? Calling someone retarded or anything because they don't see things like you do is just lame.

See, my luck is at 76, so I'm good to go. I hit crits almost every attack (I am a Soldier, after all).
