You've just reminded me of a time when I was playing a completely luck based card game with a friend of mine. We had a shuffled deck and took turns at calling a card then picking one off the top. You got something like four for the right suit, thirteen for the right number and fifty two for both.

I was losing quite badly and getting pissed off, then I suddenly got the feeling of being in the zone and I somehow knew the next card was the ace of spades. I called it, was right and he was buying my drinks for the rest of the evening.

I try to be skeptical, but things like that make me wonder if it's more than something biological.
