I believe in probability, not luck.
im not sure if it exists. if for instance someone won £100 on something, id call them lucky, but it doesnt necceserily mean i believe in it. im not sure ]:
If the probablity was 1 to 10000 in you getting a £100.Quote:

you being lucky didnt effect the probabilty of it happening though, its just what we call it when you get the result you wanted when it was quite unlikely to get.

yea, i agree, luck isnt something in itself, its just what you call something improbable that happens and is in your favor.Quote:

Not sure really. When I was younger, I saw a Kenny stuffed toy in a window for £9.99 and I thought I want that. Later that day, I found a £10 note and bought it lol. Took it with me when I had my sats in year 6 lol
