I am thinking of the words opters and non-opters to describe such people. Lucky/unlucky would mean they have better odds at games with random elements such as roulette, or better chance of walking over money on the street or so on.
[Edit] As jodrellblank replied that would mean a person for which the laws of probability/statistics do not apply. [/Edit]
opter - n. A person(or agent) who is good at seeking opportunities and is able to take advantage of them.
- jodrellblank 17y agoLucky/unlucky would mean they have better odds at games with random elements such as roulette If you define 'lucky' as someone for whom physics/statistics do not apply then you make it a pretty meaningless term for the real world. or better chance of finding money on the street or so on. This is what the article is talking about - the chance of money being on the street stays the same, the 'lucky' person is more likely to spot it.
- mitko 17y ago...chance of finding money on the street or so on... Sorry, I was not clear. I meant that the there will be money in the street. Not that they will find them. I will edit my post.
