The original question is too open ended.  Luck would need to be defined, which is  as difficult as defining GOD.

Suppose you bet big with KK, get called, and the flop shows an ACE.  Are you lucky you got the KK?  Are you lucky you got called by QQ?  Did the donk who called with A6o get lucky?

Define luck, and it can probably be predicted.

If someone said it was 40% then 2 out of 5 hands would be yours without ever looking at your cards.

Now, putting yourself into positions to get lucky is a whole new ballgame.  But that can get expensive.  Suppose you wanted Barry Bonds Last Home Run ball.  You could have bought every seat in the right field bleacher seats, then closed it off to anyone but yourself.  Incidentally, that would have been a +EV move had someone thought to do it.

But even that would only increase you chances of getting that home run ball, he has hit many fair balls into the bay.

Point is, if you can describe it, someone can predict it.
