Beginner's luck

For the films, see Beginner's Luck (1935 film) and Beginner's Luck (2001 film).

Beginner's luck refers to the phenomenon of novices experiencing disproportionate frequency of success or succeeding against an expert in a given activity.[1] One would expect experts to outperform novices - when the opposite happens it is counter-intuitive, hence the need for a term to describe this phenomenon.[2] The term is most often used in reference to a first attempt in sport or gambling, but is also used in many other diverse contexts. The term is also used when no skill whatsoever is involved, such as a first-time slot machine player winning the jackpot.
