Sometimes I think luck is a place of mental peace because when we lose most of the time we blame luck similarly if we win, it is because of luck (in most time betting /gambling). In fact what should your own feeling be? This question may seem to most of us gamblers that if an experienced gambler loses the same way, then how is it possible to identify the main algorithm of gambling?
I think the answer to this question may be easy or it may be very difficult, but the secret between us continuing to gamble and winning or losing is a manifestation of the latent state between the developer and gamblers like us, winning or losing.
Based on what you said about luck, well for me luck isn't just some magical force that occurs or appear at different point in time in the lives of individuals, it is simply means always being ready and prepared when ever the chance shows up. In gambling people including myself say that ''they where just so unlucky'' while if they win they say that luck was in their side today, but sometimes it really all depends on the choices we make and how far we are willing to push things, though luck may be part of it but what you do with it, is what really matters.
