Are you lucky?

| I just realized something about luck. if you dont have it dont try to use it. I was playing online battleship and noticed that I’m un statistically unlucky. This didnt make sense! all my opponents were hitting my ships easily and for me it took 16-20 times only to hit any hit at all. It was systematically game by game! Then I had to accept I have black luck! black luck is my definition for an opposite luck. were everything you want to happen the opposite accurse. If I could reverse my bad luck I would have being a very lucky guy! So after all I am a lucky guy but for the worse.! then I decided to make a test. If im not lucky or black lucky maybe I just stop trying to relay on my luck. So i started to play systematically ignoring luck and suddenly I am winning games one by one. when there was a place for some logic off course i switched to logic. Suddenly people started complementing (complaining) how lucky I am! so my conclusion and i would be happy to see if some other people who has bad luck will try this method and tell me if it works for them. If your not lucky don’t relay on your luck. Try to be systematic |

| Just moving the thread as it wasn't Monkey-related. Interesting result though! |

| I must say it may work but its too borring :p our spirit likes the freedom even at the cost of loosing. most people like betting since it adds excitment to life and help them belive someone above care for them. I guess as always the right balance is the solution. |

| In my experience there's no such thing as luck.... |
| ||
| Luck is just a magical term used in games of chance for when someone else wins straight away and you've been playing for hours. :) |
| ||
| You suck at Battleships. That is all. |

| I would say Luck is the name you put on your own and others ability to create opportunities in a given situation. I can strongly recommend this video: Derren Brown - The Secret of Luck: http://youtu.be/O4mN33w5Ftw However you are only likely to watch it if you consider yourself lucky, since otherwise why would you waste time to get more insight into what luck can be? ;) @Gfk - Haha, that is the simple answer :) |

| Okay, couldn't resist as I wrote about that last month: http://philippeback.be/2011/12/getting-luck-on-your-side/ Awesome youtube vid!!! |

| Thanks Gfk for the deep insight. As usuale you are as nice as a thorn. If you actualy red what I wrote, I did mention that I got better when I changed the approch.! (now im winning 6 games in a raw! ah) Luck is just a word that logical people dont like. But there is such a thing called Intuition. I noticed that when you feel good. suddenly your intuition rises up. In a good day you have a better chance guessing stuff. I dont and didnt want to get into this issue. but we know we can do more then what science today discovred. |

| But there is such a thing called Intuition. Funny you should say that as I'm quiet good a guessing when things are going to go wrong in my life. Would this make me a lucky or unlucky person?I noticed that when you feel good. suddenly your intuition rises up. In a good day you have a better chance guessing stuff. @Tibit Can't watch the video on copyright grounds guess I'll have to find it of C4's site. |

| your a person with high intuition who had probabaly too many bad stuff going on for him. Things dont just happen. I would say your furtunate just with bad approch. |
| ||
| Thanks Gfk for the deep insight. As usuale you are as nice as a thorn. So it was nothing at all to do with luck - you did actually suck at Battleships just like I said? If you actualy red what I wrote, I did mention that I got better when I changed the approch |
| ||
| Gfk I sucked at being lucky thats what It was.. But now its all changed im lucky again :) |
| ||
| Geez. Battleships has nothing to do with luck, as you proved. You will be on to something when you systematically win with dice games. |
| ||
| "Battleships has nothing to do with luck" How can you say that I don’t know? I’ve proved that you can increase your intuition that’s for sure. But really all this subject of luck and intuition has thin borders. There are patterns everywhere. If you are a free in your mind person That think positive in general then things will go in your favors. Also. Another good rule for life is. Break patterns. Don’t be boring and repeat yourself. Btw I’ve made a top record of finishing a battleship online game in 1:18 min. usualy games are around 3,4 mins Battleship is a good playground for testing your intuition and this entire subject. Because it’s a mixture of luck and some techniques. |
