I have been thinking about the term beginners luck that people often use, I went to the horse races for the first time with my father during the summer, and on my first bet I won.

This has happened quite a few times where I start doing well at something i've just begun at, particulary through things that involve chance such as card playing. But i'm thinking that the beginners luck is only because of your own minds general lack of the possibilities of losing, I think once you get to know the rules and strategy of a game your conscious mind communicates to your subconscious mind the chances of failing or losing are greater, and therefore you attract the loss and failure. What does anyone else think of this?
