What's usually your pick as a gambler since sometimes some persons are luckier than others?

I don't believe in personal luck, and I go with chances in casino games because it's hard to be lucky with 5% winning chance, you know what I am sayin? While in sports betting, I go according to my knowledge irrespective of odds.

Makes no sense to say you go with chances -- the tendency that one can claim a win in gambling (be it sport betting/ casino gambling), but you don't believe in luck. How do you define luck?

You go with 5% winning chance roll in dice, and win that roll then it's luck, because there was minimal chance to win that roll, you have to be lucky to win this bets.

As for me saying, I don't believe in 'luck' — you can re-read the statement you quoted, I meant 'personal luck' there implying I don't believe in one person being luckier than others — this was remark to op saying, "some persons are luckier than others".

Is there any perceived luck which is not personal when we talk about gambling, though?
Also, I don't believe in luck as it is known traditionally, in general we all build our own luck with our actions and the choices we take each day in our life. Nevertheless, there are some very interesting and baffling cases in which a single person managed to beat the chances and that a long streak of wins in gambling, to the point casinos had to ban them.
There have been also instances of people winning the lottery twice, and there are also examples which have nothing to do with gambling, as the Indian-British man who survived that recent airplane crash in India when he was going back to the UK with his family. The was the only survivor.

So even though you don't believe in luck, you gotta admit there are people who beat all possibilities and we could tag or categorize as "lucky".
