You mean the kind of luck that happens when I used my school fees to stake a football bet on a 2.0 odd and eventually I came out winning and I had my school doubled, at that time I had no extra funds to buy my course materials, but when my luck played out I felt so good that I took that risk at that time. So to say that my luck played out at the right time.
No. the reverse actually. The luck that you had lost your tuition fee in an attack and heartbroken you used the $20 you had left to play on a casino not because you wanted to double your money and get back your fees but because it was what you felt at the time to do. And when you did it you had an unexpected multiplier and won big. You were able to pay your fees and use the extra to sort out your books and other living expenses.
I think this will be very terrible for , if eventually I lose my school fees and I already kept some money which I will use to gamble, I don't think I'll even have the energy and urge to gamble, because I already know that gambling is unpredicted and if gamble and still lose the money I know I won't feel happy because already I have lost so much that I can't afford to lose. I feel if I lose my school feels , the gambling money I kept before now can go a long way for me because that should be the only money with me which I don't need to let it go very easily.
