Default Could "luck" increase probability?

The talk of the RNG (random number generator) on the other thread here got me wondering... with probability being such a fickle thing; could one's inherent "will" or expectation of results influence and/or collapse probability into reality?

I, over my time in P99, became known for being very lucky with drops. It got to the point where I was expecting to roll at least over an 80, and would not be surprised to win even 1/3 or more drops in a night (in a 6 man grp).

So that's what I'm wondering... could "luck" or "willpower" or whatever you call it cause probability to tip in your favor? Whereas "unlucky" folks expect to lose.. and ergo do so more often?

Any theoretical physicists are welcome to chime in here ^_^
