This is superstition, there is nothing like bad luck or good luck, whatever happens, good or bad is from God and in all cases , it is for the good of all.

Many years ago, I went to a voodoo shop in New Orleans, don't know if it's the same one or not.  I didn't think anything of it.  There was a statue that you were supposed to leave money to bring you good luck or something like that.  I didn't and laughed it off.\n\nThe next day, I woke up with my foot swollen twice the size from some kind of bug bite.  I seemed to have nothing but bad luck for the next 6 months.  It just seemed to be one thing after another.  It dawned on me that all this bad luck came after going to this place and not leaving money.\n\nI live about a day and half drive away, but I made it a point to go back for a weekend.  Visited the place again and left money at the statue and my luck changed.\n\nI'm not a deep believer in voodoo or curses, but that one really scared me and if ever I'm in New Orleans again and they say to leave a monetary gift for good luck, I will.

Life is what we make it with God's guidance. It is actually not "luck or coincidence".  Its God's Divine Providence for us to make use of. When we say "Good Luck" it supposedly meant "God Bless".\n\nMy 17 yr old wants a job this summer, so we're looking for one.  Yesterday after my work and after her school, we were not able to enter our apartment coz we forgot the key so we waited outside for my husband to come from work.  A kind neighbor next door invited us in for a tea while we were waiting.  We just moved in so we do not know her yet but she was nice and the best thing was she works for this organization which helps the youth find summer jobs. Luck or coincidence?

It's doing my head in.  Do these people not understand that it's random?  How can you have tactics?  Just pick a number and get on with it for ****'s sake.  \n\nI blame Noel and his "cosmic ordering" or whatever it's called.  \n\nWe can all write numbers on our hands in biro Noel - doesn't make you any more or less likely to win something.

Bad things happen to every one occasionally, but if you are supersticious like me, try this.  Find a horseshoe, and "Nail it up so that the ends of the horseshoe are pointing downward.  Don't let anybody tell you that when the points are up, your luck is caught within as in a corncopia."  The horseshoe is a great good luck charm that recieves it's energy from the cresent moon.  Hang it over the door.

good luck or bad luck does not exist friend, most of it are the consequence of our actions, or God just let it happen. by believing in luck, you are not submitting to God's authority in our life which means things can go into chances. you are not a product of a by-chance, you are not an accident, and so are the things around you.

Well, if it's cheap like mine, I'd say the probability is great.  Cheap sets are made by the hundreds of thousands...\nSo big whoop.  Does that mean it's fate?

There are 6 possible outcomes for the roll. There is only one outcome when the number is 4. Therfore the chances of getting a 4 are 1/6.

Nah not really, I'll walk under ladders and not have bad luck and see a black cat (In England it's good luck, but I think Americans say bad luck) and not have good luck, I do say "hello Mr.Magpie, where's your Friend" whenever I see one on it's own though. So far I'm going to have a little bit of sorrow (1 Magpie) A lot of joy (2 magpies) About 4 girls (3 magpies) no boys (4 magpies) a tiny bit of silver (5 magpies) no gold (6 magpies) and no secrets never to be told (7 magpies), so I won't know if any of these are true just yet.\nOh and I break eggshells so witches can't use them to get back to Anglesey. I think that's all.

I doubt it's a curse/hex. Just think of it this way: If you've had a string of bad luck lately, that probably means that you're overdue for something really great. Keep your eyes open and you may soon come across a wonderful opportunity. I'm sure it will more than make up for it.

IMO, fb2kool is on to something.  Luck is used to describe a short series of events that appear to deviate from the average (when they simply contribute to the average).  The strange thing about probability is that the "average" never seems to happen.

im not sure of anything that cant be backed up with good solid evidence. in a world of cause and effect its hard to believe simply walking under a ladder will result in an unlucky outcome. i believe that if you focus on something like that then you will have the outcome of bad luck. in my opinion it's like ghosts if you believe in them youll see them if you dont you wont

Yes I do. \n1)I think its bad luck to wear other peoples wedding rings, \n2)If an eyelash falls off, you have to make a wish on it but you have to put it on your thumb and you cant look at where it goes when you blow it off.\n3)Its good luck when a butterfly lands on you\n4)If the doors are closed when youre sleeping, the ghosts cant get to you.\n5)the number 6 isnt a very happy number. If I see it repetivatly during the day, something bad is bound to happen to me.\n6)Dont walk on the wet grass in the morning, it will kill the little rolly pollys\n7)It think the superstition that eating black eyed peas on New Years is gay and doesnt work.\n8)If Im not nice to someone during the day when I know I should be, kaharma will bite me in the a s s\n9)Even numbers are good luck\n10)All evil thoughts directed to me can be wished back to them 100 fold (100 times)

i dont believe that anyone is born under a bad sign, however if u believe that then perhaps u are. life will imitate bad or good thougths. if u think good things then good things will happen to u but if your a negative type of person (no offense) then bad luck will follow u.

If you throw dice and get a 6 three times in a row, the odds of it getting another 6 the fourth time are still 1/6, as good or as bad as for any other number. The history has nothing to do with it. Each throw of a dice or lottery draw is a series of random events, the outcome of which is not influenced by previous outcomes.\n\nAs the British magazine The Economist once wrote, lotteries are a voluntary tax on being bad at math ;-)

I think it seems that way because of the saying.  When 1 and then the second thing happen all in a short period of time we notice and when we get to the 3rd thing we especially take notice.  Sometimes a 4th or even 5th thing happens but we stop counting OR wait for the 6th - 3 and 3 again?\nPersonally, 3 is my lucky number so when 3 seemingly bad things happen, I look for the silver lining.

Thirteen may be considered a "bad" number simply because it is one more than 12, which is a popularly used number in many cultures (possibly due to it being a highly composite number).
