Dunno but that's often the same thing people say about faith in God. Sure inevitably something will come around to muck up the day if we wait long enough but personally I can't attribute it to bad or good 'luck' without giving ones direct negative actions and decisions much more plausibility. I mean they are negative..and theirs right? Of course not always. Philosophy holds no ground over unforeseen tragedy that can hit us all but ya can't just dismiss cause and effect.
What I mean by bad luck are health conditions that people are born with , people shot whilst going to school, etc that throws the whole karmic explanation into question. A karmic record that carries over (and I hate to use this word because it is a mainly Christian hangup/Invention) 'Sins' from a previous life, and punish people for them in this. For me Death should be the great leveler and the idea of second chances, forgiveness and heaven etc has been the excuse for incredible debauchery and barbarity among the religious for millennia.
