Can you calculate luck?

everything can be calbulated. math is all.
for example if a meteorite destroys earth its not unlucky... the earth was just in the way of it. and the way you can calculate. every luck and unluck has a reason.

"luck" doesnt exist.
If you have 1000 persons and let them say a number between 1 and 10, and the right number is 5, will ~100persons have the right answer. no person will ever have the right answer. so luck isnt real.

i thing we are talking about "luck" if more then 100 persons would have the right answer. if 50 have the right we sey it was unlucky, but its only random. if we make it with 1000000 perosns it will be nearer and nearer to 10% of right answers.

You cant calculate everything, cause you dont know everything.

Well then, calculate your luck and go win a major Q3 tourney! And then calculate your luck and find a briefcase with 10000000 $ LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

Foks is right. You cannot calculate everything, because your knowledge of what can and cannot happen is incomplete, thus, it's called luck, chance, randomness, whatever name you give it.

nah dont think u can calculate luck, neither can u drastically change your luck. Luck hits you when you least expect it and avoids you when you most need it...hail the randomness of life.

~
Do you believe in something ?
Luck is your own deal, you make your own luck by your own hands (work etc. foresight) - hows that can be calculated (maybe like probability function/theory)?
If you do, then your luck depends more on things/life surrounding you ...and your luck cannot be predicted it is a random thing
Big grin...

The majority of people think they think, when really they just change their prejudices. Understanding is a matter of will in most cases.
