so its me. First thread/post of 2013, and as its 13 an unlucky number, and probably the only year most of us will ever live in a 13 year.
Here are some thoughts from both side of the fence on luck, which plays a part in betting and even dare I say trading!

"I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird, and not enough the bad luck of the early worm."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
