be unlucky in gambling

To lose frequently in games of chance.

🌍

문화적 배경

The phrase is often used to avoid 'skryt' (bragging). If someone wins, they might say they had 'tur', but if they lose, they say they had 'otur' to maintain a humble social standing. In Finland-Swedish, the phrase is equally common and carries the same weight, often used during 'stugliv' (cottage life) board games. Sweden has a state monopoly on gambling (Svenska Spel). The phrase is often seen in marketing or discussed in relation to the national lottery (Triss). The phrase has seen a resurgence in digital culture as a self-deprecating meme among singles.

The Consolation Rule

⚠️

Avoid 'Dålig'

Never say 'dålig otur'. It's a hallmark of a beginner. Just 'otur' is enough.
