You’re either a believer in luck or you aren’t.  I put myself down as a believer, both in good and bad luck, due to having had my fair share of the latter in life. If I were to toss a coin and call, nine times out of ten, I would get the outcome wrong. Same with roulette. It therefore shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that within hours of landing in Italy for a well deserved holiday of eight days, I start feeling like something isn’t quite right with my throat.  The following day I already have a reasonably sore throat and the day after that it develops into a fully-fledged cold.  I am rarely prone to colds as a general rule. I get the obligatory one or two per year if I am overworked. Maybe I am just unlucky. My bad luck also follows me around entropia like the proverbial thundering cloud.  Within minutes of buying a resource, I am guaranteed it will drop in price.  A good case in point is last week’s example, when I bought some Caldorite and Narc. Within a day they had both dropped by 5%. Now, some of you may think I had a stroke of luck with my 3k Gold find which, I must say, is my first ever four digit mining find.  However, the cynic part of me puts that down to having deposited a mere half hour earlier. You know how they say... there is only chance... unbiased, blind, fair. Yeah, right.
