Like the majority said. I think you should have both (skills + luck)
If you have both then next on that would be PROFIT
If you only have 1 of these. For example just pure luck.
There's a big chance that you would win of course, but with the combination of skills, your chance of winning bigger profit would be much much more higher right?
But if you only have skills no luck. Sometimes you could avoid losing bigger money, since you have the skills.
Oh well, this is only my opinion. We have our own principles. Our own strategies. So what ever you think is right for you. Just do it and just stick with it!
