I guess being lucky is just random stuff there is no way to increase or decrease your chances, I don't believe in those things personally but it might be different from you we have different perspectives But being positive always will make your life much easier and you can think wisely.

I have to agree with that. And the OP mentioned lottery, you can't calculate the percentage of your luckiness in that area. Or maybe you can calculate the possibility of you winning, like 1 in a million. But how to increase your luck? I don't also believe on the his items listed. But you can change the outlook that you will put in the game.

It is difficult to calculate the percentage of the winning because it could be 50:50, but when you part in those games, the percentage will be changed, and it could be 30:70. You will not have a chance to get lucky if you cannot control yourself, being positive, and calm down, but that is not guaranteed to get or increase your luck. And sometimes, your chance to win will go to lower if you don't have good things inside the games.

Positive thinking and good vibes may give you the feeling of being lucky but it would never increase your chances of winning the lottery.
It may also help you accepting your losses which in return will make you avoid making bad decisions under frustration. Hence, it is a good advise after all but don't count totally on it.

Yes we could never know if our luck is increasing if we do those things.
And I agree it wouldn't really make us lucky it would only give us a good vibes to stay calm and wouldn't be stressed out over our losses.
I don't really believe in luck but I think being a positive thinker would make everything easier.

Absolutely! The reason why there are certain advices never to gamble when you're in a bad mood.
Keeping your composure all the time while gambling will keep you in control, specially when you're lossing and that's where most of the gamblers lost their emotional control.
Positivity throughout your gambling activity will help you either keep a good amount of profit or preventing massive loss, and that's what I consider a lucky bet.

Being lucky and being confident are two different thing; I guess OP might have got confused on these basic differences. Being confident me help you to be more brave and a proverb is saying "luck will favor the brave". This way OP might be right about being positive about being lucky may work on their way

It is definitely not about the games of chance

The proverb "fortune favors the bold" (and its varieties) refers to a situation where doing nothing inevitably leads to a failure (whatever that might come down to). In this case, being brave and doing something, even something extremely dangerous and risky, is in fact a winning strategy overall since you can still win despite everything and beat all the odds whereas sitting idly and waiting passively for your fate may bring about your failure and defeat

The discussion of how to get lucky should be religion-based or at least astrology-based one, lol.
Yes, I strongly believe with mathematical approach or through any scientific approach we cannot get our luck.

From the four points mentioned by OP, I am also thinking like being positive about being lucky could push the chances. But it will happen or may not happen, it will be purely based on our fate (fate is belonging to religion as per my school things).

You cannot get lucky whatever you do unless it is your day and luck is on your side, till then you can't do anything but expect for that lick factor to come into your life.

I have seen enough examples and I am an example of the same myself - I was playing at luckybit once when I had 1 BTC 'old days when BTC was not more than $600'. I rolled the balls and lost half of my bankroll already. Left with BTC0.5, I was shivering that how will I recover my loss. I decided to bet the full amount and see what happens and I was stunned - it was a 9x and it made me BTC4.5

This shows that we don't know when our luck will come into play and all we have on our hands to take is RISK.

For example, buy more lottery tickets, this will somehow increase the chances of getting a winning ticket

Hardly makes any sense

It would make sense if what you could ultimately win, i.e. the prize money, exceeded the amount spent. However, it is not possible with most lotteries as there is also the "house edge", i.e. the amount which organizers take from the tickets sold and put into their pockets as their profits

In other words, if you bought all the tickets, you would win nothing, only lose to the organizers and their premiums. In this way, buying more tickets doesn't really increase your chances of winning as it is in fact quite the other way around (yeah, I know it sounds somewhat counterintuitive but still)

This might be rude but what @bitcoinst said was hilarious. Yes, there is somehow a point on what he said that it will increase the chances of winning but you will not still going to win the lottery just because you did something unique like that

That depends on what we understand by chance here as well as what it refers to

Indeed if you buy up all the tickets, your chances to "win" the lottery will be close to 100%. But is it really worth it? You may kinda win the lottery after all, but your expenses on the tickets are going to exceed the amount you will receive as a winner. In this manner, your chances to actually book profits (as this is what people participating in lotteries are looking for) will be decreasing with each extra ticket. And if we knew how much the organizers take (along with other specifics), we would even be able to calculate the precise value of this reduction per ticket

It doesnt really matter if you bought 1 or 100 tickets just for that lottery.Yes,it do increase the odds of winning but if you do try to compute overall then you would just realize that its nearly impossible

It’s true if you are talking about the probability of getting a grand prize. But there are many smaller prizes, so if you buy a lot of tickets you are almost guaranteed to win something. Another thing is that the amount of winnings is likely to be less than the amount spent on tickets.

Out of the million possibilities, let's say you buy a hundred lottery tickets, I mean that is only 0.000001% chance of winning the lottery, if that make any sense.

or would really need that extreme luck in the world to this those numbers.It is somewhat a valid point though but youre just basically wasting up much more money if you do really push this hard.
If probabilities were less then its considerable but talking about millions of chances then it would be an another story.Just play to enjoy and winning is just a bonus.

I'm always reminded by what I've read here about luck on winning a lottery because its likely to get struck by lightning twice than you are to win a lottery. But I guess there are some people who actually won. How much combination does it have when the number is 1-64?

You'd probably finish a law degree first in 10 years than winning a lottery.

Want to increase your luck - study the theory of probability and try to maximize profits by increasing the number of prospective winning options.
For example, buy more lottery tickets, this will somehow increase the chances of getting a winning ticket.

What kind of ridiculous logic is that? Buying more lottery tickets does not increase your luck at all, since your odds of winning are only multiplied by the number of cards you bought... It doesn't increase the odds of winning which would imply increased luck. That's like saying you can get lucky if you bet on both boxers to win the match, sure... you're going to win some money, but you'll lose more than you won!

I really hope this isn't the kind of mentality you use when gambling, or you're going to get absolutely ruined soon enough.

I think that in those cases when we cannot change something, then we can change our attitude towards this. Luck cannot be improved or enhanced. So you need to change the attitude towards it. Any luck should be taken as a gift, and failure as a valuable lesson and reason to become better.
These tips may seem strange but the questions that OP asks are no less strange Cheesy

As for me, there's no specific way to get lucky because if so, then most of us should have been millionaires now. Winning in gambling is by chances and there's no guarantee and assurance that we'll always be lucky by any means. The best thing that you have to do is to set your allocated budget and stop when necessary. Trusting and waiting for your luck won't make you rich.

I remember when i playing Satoshi Mines i always follow my instinct and always win. Well, im lucky always on that especially in Bustabits were my net profit until now is 0.3 BTC. That's why always follow your instinct and focus in playing, and also don't be greed because this will cause more losses to you.

Good for you but not all would have the same fate or luck when playing gambling.Its good that your greed doesnt able to control you along the way

The law of large numbers is set to kick in if there are enough gamblers, with the implication being that someone can be winning what can be loosely thought of as "all the time" (provided the total number of rolls stays relatively low)

Quote from: Lanatsa on March 02, 2020, 04:12:45 AM

Getting lucky or trying to find things that do affect is useless because same as said by others all things are random and cant be influenced by any other means

Unless you run martingale with safe settings on

Well, it is not about getting lucky (quite the opposite in fact), but I believe it can still be safely considered something to the effect of "trying to find things that do affect" luck. Basically, a properly managed martingale strategy offsets luck in the same way the house edge cancels it out. But it does that with a vengeance, so the house edge gets offset too in the process (enough to book small profits "all the time")
