15 Life Hacks To Help Beat The Odds

Some would have you believe that being lucky is just a matter of chance. Those people have clearly never wanted to be Jedi Masters. And, well, it turns out you can come pretty close to being one. Or a Sith Lord. We won't begrudge your dark desires, you saucy thing.

To mold the world around you, you just need to understand a bit about probability. It's a great shorthand for finding the truth about how the world works. For example, if people who get shot in the head die sooner than people who brush their teeth, this tells you you'd be better off brushing your teeth than stepping in front of a firing squad today. Of course, probability isn't always quite so obvious as that. On the other hand, the good news is the advice offered by probability is sometimes a lot more actionable. 

With the right knowledge, you do indeed stand a chance at saving your own life. Or at least at making a little money, which can be just as good.

CAR THEFT CRACKEDCO Yellow cars are the least likely to be stolen. Thieves want cars with a high resale value. They also want cars that blend in, which is why red cars are less likely to be stolen than you might expect.
