As for the word "luck", there really is no such thing but that is a long story.

So True. All events are predetermined by inputs that are just too minute for humans to measure. Therefore, we assign probabilities based on what has happened in similar situations.

Ok i dont know much about math, but is it mathematically possible to be unlucky stastically. I am wondering because whenever i am in a 50/50 situation, especially in life not just poker, things seem to go south rather than north. I am not complaining, i am just wondering wether this problem is my head, in which case i will try fix my mental state, or could i just be unlucky.

It seems the more important the 50/50 situation is the less hope i have.

So is it mathemaitically possible to be unlucky?
