I have a favorite pencil I use to handicap with.. I always seem to do bad when I don't use it.

At least that's the excuse I tell myself.

As far as believing in "luck", sure I do... There have been many times that I would have died without it.

I think some people are just born lucky and others have to "make their own luck". Not usre how, but I am still working on it

'Luck' and the belief in it is state of mind. Some people are able to easily dismiss negative results while relishing the positive ones and thus are more likely to consider themselves lucky.

Some dismiss the positives and dwell on the negatives and consider themselves unlucky. They are also more likely to believe others are lucky.

Many are just bad handicappers
