PhilIf you play well and get to a position where you are favored to win 75% of the time, THERE IS NO LUCK from then on. If you play as you are supposed to, with skill, and without making errors, you will win that position 75% of the time provided you play it enough times. Yes, you will lose 25% of the time, but that is not because of bad luck, it's because you are supposed to. And yes, you will win 75% of the time, and that is not because of good luck, it's because that is the odds.

I will have to disagree with you.

Apply the same argument to heads and tails and you and you will end up saying there is no luck in that game.

For me this argument is a sophism.
