Is Beginner’s Luck Real?

You’ve heard the stories, right? People who have hit the ultimate jackpot on day one of playing the lottery… So the question we’re asking today is:

IS BEGINNER’S LUCK REAL?

Some people seem to think so, even though no evidence supports the statement. But on the other hand, there are countless stories of people who have won big in the lottery or other gambling games on their first try. But is this really a thing, or is it just a coincidence?

WHAT IS BEGINNER’S LUCK?

Beginner’s luck is defined as “unexpected success experienced by a person who is just starting a particular activity” by the Cambridge Dictionary. So, in other words, beginner’s luck is when someone with no prior experience or knowledge in a specific area suddenly becomes successful in it.

WHY DOES BEGINNER’S LUCK HAPPEN?

There are a few theories as to why beginner’s luck occurs. Let’s get into them…

INTUITION

Beginners are less likely to second-guess themselves and overthink their actions. Instead, they just go with their gut instinct and trust their intuition, which often leads to them making the right decision.

BEGINNERS HAVE ZERO EXPECTATIONS

Beginners are less likely to have expectations or preconceived notions about how things should go. Instead, they approach every situation with a clean slate and an open mind, which allows them to see something that more experienced people might miss.

BEGINNERS TAKE MORE RISKS

People tend to take more risks when starting out, which can lead to more significant rewards. Another theory is that people sometimes get lucky and hit the jackpot because they don’t know what they’re doing, which actually works in their favour.

BEGINNERS HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED FAILURE

Another theory is that beginner’s luck exists because people who are new to something haven’t experienced failure yet. So when they try something new, they’re more likely to succeed. This theory makes a lot of sense, especially when you think about how often people give up on things after they fail a few times.

BEGINNERS ARE MORE OPTIMISTIC

Another theory is that beginner’s luck exists because people who are new to something are more optimistic and have higher expectations. This theory also makes sense because when you’re starting, you don’t know what to expect, and everything seems possible.

If you believe in manifestation, that may play a part in all of this… right?

PLAIN DUMB LUCK

And, of course, there’s always the possibility that beginner’s luck is just plain dumb luck. There’s no denying that luck plays a role in success, no matter how big or small.

BEGINNERS GET THE HEADLINES

One thing we know for sure is that beginner’s luck gets a lot of headlines. So could it simply be that we hear more about beginners winning the lottery than experienced people winning it? Let’s face it, someone who has been playing for years wouldn’t be as exciting as a ‘First time player wins millions.’

Hmmm, food for thought.

Whether or not beginner’s luck is real, we know one thing for sure: You have to be in it to win it.
