Default Re: How to measure \"luckiness\"?

Wouldn't "luckiness" just be a un-probable out come for a period of time. Like flipping a coin and getting heads 25 times??

PRetty much. If you got 25 heads in a row, you would be very lucky- 100%. If you got 25 tails in a row, you would be very unlucky - 0%. If you got 12 heads, you would probably be around 45% on luck.
