An amazing read really! The part where you create a distinction between the ones who fall on a "hot streak" through sheer luck, versus the ones who train themselves for when luck comes to the door really rang true to me.
There's plenty of casinos where I currently live, and the stories on how many times a regular player has lost money they actually needed -telling themselves that just by sheer luck they ARE going to actually get it back- are almost unbelievable! I remembered those stories as you mentioned they were waiting for Lady Fortuna
The thing is - preparation is what will allow us to make a wiser use of luck, and whatever resources she provides, but, do we really have the foresight to keep preparing even though luck doesn't seem to be just around the corner?
Many thanks for the article!
