I have no conclusion
Outside of this very specialized bookmaker-style profession,to be honest,I am unable to answer the question of who's lucky or unlucky.
I can tell that person A seems less lucky than person B,but the confidence in such konwledge can be so weak as to be meanningless .
I prefer to remain a skeptic.
People frequently misinterpret my opinion .
I never said that every rich man is an idiot and every unsuccessful person unlucky,only that in absence of much additional information it is preferable to reserve one's judgement.
It is safer.
