Luck doesn't even itself out. Some people will be in the 99th percentile of accumulated luck over their lifetimes and some people will be in the 1st percentile.

Thanks einstein. still going with rolls in pool even out over time. I have heard people whine that they've never got a roll in their life. They only remember the bad ones is the problem. Short term you might get way too many bad rolls but over time you're not.

einstein’s theory about time being relative to the observer of luck and luckiness explains this

now the question is what's the difference between 1st and 99th percentiles? You might think not much, but outcomes can be lumpy. Chris Moneymaker may have had one super lucky day but it was also a particularly valuable lucky day.

if you and i play a thousand matches we would have the same amount of luck (relative to table time).
