In Response To: GNU luck factor (Tom Keith)

Given what has been stated it seems as if common sense is colliding with mathematics and I'm going to stick to common sense for this example.

If I play Chuck 100 games of gin and he, somehow, miraculously wins a few of those 100 games, that's bad luck for me/good luck for him. If, however, we talk about the games I won, that's just standard, the expected outcome.
