Of course luck will be a factor. What I stated is you shouldn't "count on" luck. What I meant is simply how one plans their play. The higher the edge you have the better the odds are you will be a winner. Nothing complicated. I might end up winning with bad luck if I have a 1% edge. I will never win with bad luck with no edge.
