I'll wager there isn't a human being on earth who doesn't believe in luck, however rational they pretend to be in public life. In reality, most of human life is luck - and, of course, its darker, more prevalent opposite. One only has to live long enough to experience both.
We never went into a game that we did not feel sure of winning, and when we lost, we blamed it on hard luck or the umpires.
