This equation took me years to discover and has stood the test of experimentation many times. For example...

Back in June 2011, this equation did not include "modesty 1", it was "karma 5". I thought that the theory was complete. Then the Miami Heat faced the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals. There was no way that Miami should have lost! But LeBron James and Dwayne Wade showed no modesty, just the opposite. They received bad luck and were humiliated by Dallas. I realized then that the age-old-lesson of modesty was part of the equation of luck.

Modesty and humility are similar, yet subtlety different. Someone can be humiliated and become humble, but if you're truly modest, you don't have to be humiliated.

---Theory of Luck---
Luck 100 = [karma 4 + modesty 1] x [desire 4 + actions 4 + ability 4 + contribution 4 + blessings 4]

Note: Yesterday, Sunday June 16, 2013 - Father's Day - Tiger & Phil Mickelson both shot 74 in the final round of the US Open.

I am able to edit original posts(74), so I did.

Ecclesiastes 9 v 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill, but TIME AND CHANCE HAPPENETH TO THEM ALL.

I tweaked the op.
