Do you believe luck is real?

Lucky coins, lucky rabbits feet, lucky cat...

Same goes for bad luck...

Do you believe in it?

I really don't...But one thing I do believe in is Lucky Charms. The cereal, of course.

Nope. What we call luck and coincidence is only cause and effect.

I don't believe in luck.

There is something in this world we experience, that we call luck. Therefor it exists.
Well that's my way of living and my point of view.
Same with free will.

I dont believe in the symbolic items. But I do believe in luck itself.

No I don't, nor do believe in fate, true love, or karma.

Luck, no. Fate, yes. I'm a Calvinist...

I think you get lucky breaks, but thats just often a flukes. Theres never a prolonged series of lucky breaks, you have to make your own luck.

yes, and heres proof...

I believe we are wired to look for patterns and thus ascribe cause, even when none exists; when a series of seemingly improbably events happen, it's easy to call it luck. So I don't believe that it exists objectively.xaos

I'd agree with this.

Though, I do believe in jammy bastards.

Luck isn't real.

I kind of do, kind of don't. I've more just accepted it. Like, if something goes well I say "Well that was lucky!". I like the idea of having lucky trinkets though, and have a small collection of "lucky" things - but when I think about it, I think they're just more of a comfort than they are lucky.

Luck=Good Timing

nah, not at all

Luck is not real. Everything is just based on peoples actions. I shoot your boyfriend or something, you get angry, shoot me. Cause and effect, see. There is no luck involved. If you don't do something it won't happen, if you try it prepared you might actually succeed. Car accident? Someone made an error. Even if it's not your fault someone else made a mistake and you aren't in control of it, but it's not based on luck why that happened. It was because of your inability to avoid it, you didn't see it coming from a mile. WhiteSnake5000

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="Euroshinobi"] you're completely and utterly wrong, Luck is real in Fallout 3

Euroshinobi

Lucky charms, can't make you more lucky. But they might have a placebo effect, the slight increase in self confidence when holding onto a lucky charm could lead to success, and that could be mistaken for the works of the real "luck-enhancing" powers.Hungry_bunny
