If you can learn to play the odds, it does appear you are luckier.

• The backgammon phone app I use keeps track of dice rolls. I'll get to thinking, wow I'm getting screwed, but check those stats and nope, they are pretty even after a few thousand games...
  • It might be kind of like the term 50 50 90, if you've ever heard that. If the odds are 50 50, it seems like 90% of the time we pick the wrong choice. Like when I plug in any USB cable, I just plan on having to flip it over to make it fit, because it seems like 90% of the time my first attempt doesn't work. But, I bet (haha) if I kept track, it's actually about 50% of the time. It just seems like 90% because of the frustration...

What are the odds of that?

Hmm, I'm going to guess about 1 in a gazillion?

• My Dad liked the craps tables. He would double his bet every time he missed a 50/50 bet. That worked out pretty well for him.
