Doesn't it maybe make you think twice when you realize the luck has been on his side and not yours every time?
You're not doing yourself any favor by blaming luck. There is definitely some factor of luck in the game, but 90%+ of the time I see that particular four-letter word invoked it has nothing to do with how things went down. Make that excuse now, and probably you're still going to be blaming luck a year from now. Meanwhile, the guy or girl who says "man, I think this guy is a loser. . .but. . .for some reason it's always them that's looting my corpse and not the other way around. . .maybe I need to rethink some of these tactics". . .well, let's just say that you'll probably be blaming luck when they're killing you, too.
