If We Give Ourselves Lots of Chances To Win, Our Luck Increases
- One of the first preparations is to increase the odds of winning by participating in a bigger or better way. The logic is that if we don’t buy the lottery ticket, we are sure we won’t win the one million lottery prize, but if we buy one ticket, our odds of winning have now increased. If we buy more tickets, the odds are more in our favour.
- The law of truly large numbers takes the odds calculation to the extreme and increases the number of chances to win to such a degree that winning becomes inevitable. Example: By increasing the number of positions we apply to, we increase the odds of landing an interview and an eventual job offer.
