Go watch TV

Pretend to be a Magic 8-ball

$ lucky -8
Definitely!
$ lucky -8
Nope

Log you luck, add it to a cron and then you can make charts and whatnot

$ echo `date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` `lucky -n`% >> ~/luck.log

How does it measure my luck?

It simulates a match against opponents and compares your win-rate against the expected average.
