I swear I have had a decade long run of bad luck, what's that old saying? If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. Is there truth to this thinking? I feel like I am the hero in a video game and the kid who bought the game really sucks and n e v e r wins! What is the way out?

I don't believe in Luck in the sense that people are somehow pre-destined to have good or bad things happen to them all the time.

I DO believe in probability and that Fortune and Misfortune can happen to anyone.

Okay, fair enough. Prior to about 1990, I would have been extolling the benefits of good luck. By the end of the nineties, my luck just seemed to vanish like a soap bubble. Didn't break a mirror, or any of the superstitious things. How about a way to reverse it?
