Dee Coke lives in Brighton, UK and has won over £300,000 in prizes in various competitions. This includes vacation packages abroad, a trip to the Brazilian Grand Prix, a trip to
new zealand, a car, five iPods, two computers, ticket to the British Academy of Film and Television Awards, and money. On average, she wins over £15,000 in prizes a yearHere is a lucky woman, you might think. But Dee doesn't rely on odds. She uses the Law of Really Large Numbers to increase her chances of winning. She participates in 400 competitions a week. She has little chance of winning any of them, but with so many competitions throughout the year, the chance of her not winning anything is extremely small. It practically guarantees several wins. She makes her own luck.luck is a human concept, you begin to understand better when you experience a sequence of accidents, one after another. For example, an accumulative bet where you bet on a sequence of events only wins if all the events in that sequence occur.In August 2015, a Manchester United fan from Lichfield placed a 30p bet on a sequence of 15 football matches and won half a million pounds. And although his chances were almost equal to the chances of guessing the results of the first 14 matches and not guessing the 15th, we would say that he was very unlucky if he lost the last bet.
