There's some harsh irony in a guy who, despite being known for his luck, had his entire life and riches torn from him beyond his control, shoved into multiple dangerous situations and then ultimately shoved in a cell with limited interactions for what is probably the rest of his life. Again, all for things that are legitimately beyond his control. It's a crying shame because it's clear that even if he was the luckiest man in the world, judging from how he has to live now, he's far from the happiest.
@IIReeperCreeperII Moral of the story: NEVER WIN TOO MUCH IN A CASINO! If you do, you are gonna get striked down hard. But then again if you don't win, you are gonna get bankrupt very fast. In fact, just avoid Casino's all together. Gambling ain't good for you, nor are the people in charge of the gambling.

@theun-knownbeastwithin1133 "not so lucky then i guess" this... that story makes barelly sense... or it was written by someone who's not that good at grasping the concept of luck.
I think the story can make sense if he's only lucky when taking it from someone close by. We don't know his range, in the main cases he got lucky, the person he stole luck from was either right next to him or literally touching him. Plus, he doesn't know how to control it yet. I'm sure if he did, he could literally walk out the door and no one could stop him.
As SCP-181 hit the jackpot, he was asked: "are you the one who gambles because you're lucky or are you lucky because you're the one who gambles." 181 replied: "always bet on SCP-181."

They only have him in custody because he volunteered, not knowing what he was in for.

Maybe being captured by the foundation is part of something good that's going to happen to him in the future, for example, there could be a containment break where he ends up with a useful scp for him. And then the "bad luck" of being captured was actually good luck
I think the only reason they bagged him, it was "Lucky" to be a D class compared to what he could of got. But i think after throwing him to such dangerous things.. I dont want to see how they try to wrangle him back in. Friggin swing at him and your arm going to break.
The 056 suppresion system fails twice(triggering from a computer glitch but not actually firing) and both play dead, or rather lucky just faints and 056 plays dead. When the guards come in to investigate 056 jumps up and kills half the base like every other test, ignoring lucky left in the chamber. 056 has unusual luck finding hidden staff and further testing is prohibited.
Getting arrested at a casino where you can’t use your own stuff makes no sense for the luckey guy to be arrested for loaded dice when he can’t use his own dice and is not consistent with him winning every other game which are a lot with out six sided dice
I mean, those police were obviously paid off by the casino, and probably the judge too, not to mention it's 100% possible the foundation constructed this entire scenario just so they could legally make the guy disappear
Yeah, it felt kind of fake to me. If the casino suspects cheating and can't prove it, wouldn't they just ban you from entering? Getting rough and planting evidence could easily backfire and grants no meaningful benefits to the casino over just banning them.
Apparently there is an upper limit to his luck, as it didn't save him from being taken by the SCP Foundation. Speaking of that I thought they only took death row inmates to become D-Class. Robbing from casinos hardly seems deserving of such a fate.
His luck seems to only have two specific features, letting him win bets and letting him escape harm. And the latter is only specific to immediate harm, not the future potential of harm. So the SCP Foundation taking him didn't count as immediate harm, so his abilities didn't affect it.
@@Silverizael Taken another way, the foundation is probably the safest place in the world for him to be, since the other organizations would hurt him in ways far worse than death. The scp foundation would just stick him in a room and give him three square meals a day. He's safer than he's ever been.
Or his ability might revolve around what he wanted, he wanted to escape prison, so to his luck he escaped prison but went to the SCP foundation, he wanted to survive and so he did
I’m pretty certain that the “only take death row or violent criminals as D-class” thing is just a lie that the Foundation tells to employees to make them feel better. There is not enough death row prisoners in the world for the amount of cannon fodder they need for the facility. Also violent criminals wouldn’t work well for D-class, because violent people aren’t known to cooperate and will likely riot and rather be killed than cooperate.
Being friends with this SCP is generally a good idea because of the amount of good luck he generates and looks like to type of guy who would split the winnings with you if you placed a bet with him
I would love for someone to make an SCP tale out of this, kinda like SCP-1915 with "The Stars Do Not Wait For You". Where SCP-181 finally knows what's he's REALLY capable of and turns to face more "fatal" SCPs, like 1440, 053 and 096.
I knew the moment the man's lawyer came out of the court room to tell him about the 'program', he'd be taken by the foundation. But I didn't realise the foundation would actually make him into a D class then soon as a SCP because of his 'luck' !! Never knew Lucky Guy's past life is like this 😂. Lucky Guy from Identity V I mean. Seems like he takes someone else's luck without even knowing himself. Kinda like an anime I've watched. Love to see Dr Bob wearing a fancy suit with a red bowtie.
I find it an interesting implied distinction that he does not merely call the right outcome, but he seems to influence it. Look at 9:58. Having him call the same side on 50 or any infinite amount of repetitions, proves Lucky doesn't just guess what will happen, he influences what will happen, and how. Due to the nature of the test, him having to call the SAME right side every time, effectively limitless power to influence outcomes is proven, rather than a rather limited ability to guess outcomes. Otherwise, while he would be right 50 out of 50 times, he couldn't make it be heads 50 times, nor could he make the dices land on 7. If the test was ''just be right'', it wouldn't prove much. But ''be SPECIFICALLY and CONSECUTIVELY right about the SAME OUTCOME'' insinuates he cannot merely guess, but also influence, the outcome he needs. What I mean is, he didn't just guess the outcome of the coin or dice toss and was right every time. He actually made it be heads 50 times out of 50, and the dice would land on 7 ever time, seemingly because he needed it to be. It's not like he intuits what the outcome will be. For instance, he didn't only perform 50 coin tosses and happened to know what to call, instead, the outcome seems to be(come) whatever he needs/wants it to be. Otherwise, he would have called heads/tails and been right every time (which wouldn't prove nor exclude his power to not only guess the outcome, but influence it). This distinction greatly elevates the extent of his potential power. He doesn't intuit what the universe is going to do, he actively influences it: the outcomes become what he needs it to be. If he understood his strenght and knew how to control it, he may never have ended up essentially incarcerated at the Foundation... Or eventually escape it. This is what I like about SCP writing, it is usually expertly crafted to both make these entities potentially unstoppable, and having their powers be limitless, simultaneously maintaing a shroud of mystery. While the coin tosses imply the insanity of it, we still don't know the extent of Lucky's power. Balancing potentially uncapped power levels with a level of mystery is soooo good and sooo difficult, it's super impressive:D
@@DallySkyeAnims He can't physically alter reality, just have positive probabilistic results and choices on his part. So he can't physically change the loaded dice into not being loaded ones.
@@Silverizael yes this makes a lot of sense. People are saying how despite being lucky he is in a very terrible position but your explanation makes a lot of sense.
@@eulalawrence4885 So, if he flips a coin or rolls dice, he can control (subconsciously) the outcome of that. And, if picking a card, he is drawn to the card that he requires. So the former is the real altering part of his ability, since he changes the actual outcome. The latter part of his ability, also shown with what happened in the jail cell and the punch, is something his ability does to him and his responses. I guess, in that sense, the former probably is also his ability controlling him to flip a coin and roll dice in a way to have that outcome too. Though that doesn't explain outcomes where he's not directly controlling it, like roulette. Hmm...
@@Silverizael It's not the actions that are lucky, its the reality that he resides in that grant him that luck. Reality favors him with certain probability checks. It's like reading a multiple choice story novel but turning back the page and choosing the result you favor. The novel does not have a page where he evades being arrested or stops going to casinos, the novel is written with a end result in mind, meaning while being lucky, his fate is already set in stone.
Thing is, if they do manage to kill him in testing his abilities, they've just DOUBLED their problem, with just this one d-class, and, turned him into the luckiest ghost, EVER! Even Ghostbusters couldn't do anything with this guy! With this guy, he could die, fall off his gurney, and, the jolt would start his heart, again!
You just have to be very careful. Dont go to Vegas, instead,do the lottery, and get into the stock market. You have a much higher chance of not getting beaten by a raging casino owner that way. Also one lottery win is enough to pretty much last a lifetime, if you're lucky.
@Eric Nunya No that's definitely awesome! And besides, nobody has had an original thought before. Everything has some sort of inspiration. It doesn't take away from his interesting an idea it is!
I like this one. Its more than just, he always has good things happen. Its, the best outcome depending on the situation. That carries a lot more nuance
If he’s so lucky all he has to to is make some sort of escape attempt no matter how little, and luck would be on his side and if he does escape from the facility many people would be dying
I’d have pointed out in court that my fingerprints weren’t on the dice and that I’d never touched touched them. Hell, they’d be able to show that only casino staff touched them
I always look forward to these videos. It gives the feel of a documentary with simple but factual delivery, unlike others that seem to try too hard and end up faling short. I enjoy these videos so much that I don't skip the ads as a show of support. Thanks, Dr Bob!
if you think about it, him being turned into a scp class *IS* the luckiest thing that could happen to a d-class apart from escaping, being free by foundation or surviving his d-class term because he no longer needs to be apart in tests.
This SCP reminds me of that one supernatural episode where dean and Sam are investigating a magic bar where people’s luck is transferred by coins when ever they win a pool game
Dude would be a perfect candidate to be part mobile task force with anomalous creatures, his luckyness would mean he can get shoot perfectly at any angle and kill things way easier
By virtue of him being near all the terrible shit at the SCP location he's bound to luckily avoid more dangerous conditions and make others have more danger happen to him. He's safer out in the world full of people where it could be more easily absorbed.
"Classified as safe" That's a violation of classification protocols. Being a sentient being with intelligence, he would have to be a Euclid class at minimum. Safe can only include things that not only can't leave their containment (like this guy), but are also objects or otherwise of animal intelligence or below.
I can see them marking him as safe to keep lax standards on containment. if it becomes too stringent, he might get lucky and break out. a safe class breaking out, isnt all that special. its all just to rig the game
@@zeedstun891 I wonder if the classification is also something connected to his ability. Like, his luck made him get a lower classification, despite that being against protocol.
If they classified him as Euclid and he tried to get out by simply walking out, the guards would probably trip and fall in some absurd way to breach containment. Or there would be some other actuallly dangerous Keter breach that would cause him to be released. Best to give him the most normal, bland existence with minimal risk so that he doesn't get lucky and cause something bad or worse to happen on his site.
bruh it says some entities who are sentient are safe can you stop making up stuff out of your mind it literally says that its usually given to sentient beings
2:23 this guy should realistically be used to casinos getting mad at him, even accusing him of cheating. If he's always had this luck, it can't be the first time he's ever been kicked out of a casino.

@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq He will just draw exodia 20 times on a row, and boy oh boy would i love to see the anger in yugioh players eyes.
@@DeeriusDay lol nah hed be pulling all the prism rare cards in every single pack and have enough card to have a tournament winning deck that always 0TKs
I feel like this character would be a perfect protagonist for an scp movie
Honestly if his luck was THAT strong, the Foundation would never have managed to either identify or catch him.
Maybe being captured by the foundation is part of something good that's going to happen to him in the future, for example, there could be a containment break where he ends up with a useful scp for him. And then the "bad luck" of being captured was actually good luck
I think the only reason they bagged him, it was "Lucky" to be a D class compared to what he could of got.
But i think after throwing him to such dangerous things.. I dont want to see how they try to wrangle him back in.
Friggin swing at him and your arm going to break.
This the best SCP explanation channel! I never miss a single video
I watched all in a day when i found his channel a few weeks back 😂
Would be interesting to see how this would interact with SCP-056. Would SCP-056 become a luckier person? Or would SCP-181 'drain' that luck?
Since SCP-056 takes on skills and appearances of subjects SCP- 181 would be unaffected considering its a passive ability.
The 056 suppresion system fails twice(triggering from a computer glitch but not actually firing) and both play dead, or rather lucky just faints and 056 plays dead. When the guards come in to investigate 056 jumps up and kills half the base like every other test, ignoring lucky left in the chamber. 056 has unusual luck finding hidden staff and further testing is prohibited.
They should have made him scp 777

Getting arrested at a casino where you can’t use your own stuff makes no sense for the luckey guy to be arrested for loaded dice when he can’t use his own dice and is not consistent with him winning every other game which are a lot with out six sided dice
I mean, those police were obviously paid off by the casino, and probably the judge too, not to mention it's 100% possible the foundation constructed this entire scenario just so they could legally make the guy disappear
Yeah, it felt kind of fake to me. If the casino suspects cheating and can't prove it, wouldn't they just ban you from entering? Getting rough and planting evidence could easily backfire and grants no meaningful benefits to the casino over just banning them.

Lucky man
I swear to God doctor bob has the ability to copy every scp and knows how to counter it
Apparently there is an upper limit to his luck, as it didn't save him from being taken by the SCP Foundation. Speaking of that I thought they only took death row inmates to become D-Class. Robbing from casinos hardly seems deserving of such a fate.
His luck seems to only have two specific features, letting him win bets and letting him escape harm. And the latter is only specific to immediate harm, not the future potential of harm. So the SCP Foundation taking him didn't count as immediate harm, so his abilities didn't affect it.
@@Silverizael Taken another way, the foundation is probably the safest place in the world for him to be, since the other organizations would hurt him in ways far worse than death. The scp foundation would just stick him in a room and give him three square meals a day. He's safer than he's ever been.
Or his ability might revolve around what he wanted, he wanted to escape prison, so to his luck he escaped prison but went to the SCP foundation, he wanted to survive and so he did
I’m pretty certain that the “only take death row or violent criminals as D-class” thing is just a lie that the Foundation tells to employees to make them feel better. There is not enough death row prisoners in the world for the amount of cannon fodder they need for the facility. Also violent criminals wouldn’t work well for D-class, because violent people aren’t known to cooperate and will likely riot and rather be killed than cooperate.
This is my favorite SCP for some reason.
Being friends with this SCP is generally a good idea because of the amount of good luck he generates and looks like to type of guy who would split the winnings with you if you placed a bet with him
It's always a good day when Dr. Bob uploads.
I would love for someone to make an SCP tale out of this, kinda like SCP-1915 with "The Stars Do Not Wait For You". Where SCP-181 finally knows what's he's REALLY capable of and turns to face more "fatal" SCPs, like 1440, 053 and 096.
I wonder if 053 was the anomaly that induced raged mentioned at the beginning of the video.
"The case is airtight." Is usually what they tell you when they have absolutely no evidence. I believe it.
90% sure this man should be able to walk around the halls of the SCP foundation.
9:42 she just like bruh how are you still alive lol
9:24 "Did you know a man once walked into my cell without losing his head?"
I guess I finally understand what that line is actually referring to.
I knew the moment the man's lawyer came out of the court room to tell him about the 'program', he'd be taken by the foundation. But I didn't realise the foundation would actually make him into a D class then soon as a SCP because of his 'luck' !!
Never knew Lucky Guy's past life is like this 😂. Lucky Guy from Identity V I mean.
Seems like he takes someone else's luck without even knowing himself. Kinda like an anime I've watched.
Love to see Dr Bob wearing a fancy suit with a red bowtie.
Read the manga "Luck Stealer"
“We need more D-class! what do we got? A guy who cheated at the casino? Oh God he’s a MENACE definitely grab him”
I find it an interesting implied distinction that he does not merely call the right outcome, but he seems to influence it.
Look at 9:58. Having him call the same side on 50 or any infinite amount of repetitions, proves Lucky doesn't just guess what will happen, he influences what will happen, and how. Due to the nature of the test, him having to call the SAME right side every time, effectively limitless power to influence outcomes is proven, rather than a rather limited ability to guess outcomes. Otherwise, while he would be right 50 out of 50 times, he couldn't make it be heads 50 times, nor could he make the dices land on 7. If the test was ''just be right'', it wouldn't prove much. But ''be SPECIFICALLY and CONSECUTIVELY right about the SAME OUTCOME'' insinuates he cannot merely guess, but also influence, the outcome he needs.
What I mean is, he didn't just guess the outcome of the coin or dice toss and was right every time. He actually made it be heads 50 times out of 50, and the dice would land on 7 ever time, seemingly because he needed it to be. It's not like he intuits what the outcome will be. For instance, he didn't only perform 50 coin tosses and happened to know what to call, instead, the outcome seems to be(come) whatever he needs/wants it to be. Otherwise, he would have called heads/tails and been right every time (which wouldn't prove nor exclude his power to not only guess the outcome, but influence it).
This distinction greatly elevates the extent of his potential power. He doesn't intuit what the universe is going to do, he actively influences it: the outcomes become what he needs it to be. If he understood his strenght and knew how to control it, he may never have ended up essentially incarcerated at the Foundation... Or eventually escape it.
This is what I like about SCP writing, it is usually expertly crafted to both make these entities potentially unstoppable, and having their powers be limitless, simultaneously maintaing a shroud of mystery. While the coin tosses imply the insanity of it, we still don't know the extent of Lucky's power. Balancing potentially uncapped power levels with a level of mystery is soooo good and sooo difficult, it's super impressive:D
4:40 That guy must really want to kill 181 to die of an undiagnosed heart condition triggered by a stun gun.
Can we all take a minute to appreciate Dr. Bob’s consistent audio leveling. Never once do we need to turn down the volume when someone screams.
If he is that lucky then wouldn't his luck have prevented the police from arresting him and the Foundation from containing him?
@@hungaryhippo7294 Yeah, was kinda weird the dice didn't end up being legitimate when it was planted in his pocket lol.
@@DallySkyeAnims He can't physically alter reality, just have positive probabilistic results and choices on his part. So he can't physically change the loaded dice into not being loaded ones.
@@Silverizael yes this makes a lot of sense. People are saying how despite being lucky he is in a very terrible position but your explanation makes a lot of sense.
@@eulalawrence4885 So, if he flips a coin or rolls dice, he can control (subconsciously) the outcome of that. And, if picking a card, he is drawn to the card that he requires.
So the former is the real altering part of his ability, since he changes the actual outcome. The latter part of his ability, also shown with what happened in the jail cell and the punch, is something his ability does to him and his responses.
I guess, in that sense, the former probably is also his ability controlling him to flip a coin and roll dice in a way to have that outcome too.
Though that doesn't explain outcomes where he's not directly controlling it, like roulette. Hmm...
@@Silverizael It's not the actions that are lucky, its the reality that he resides in that grant him that luck.
Reality favors him with certain probability checks.
It's like reading a multiple choice story novel but turning back the page and choosing the result you favor.
The novel does not have a page where he evades being arrested or stops going to casinos, the novel is written with a end result in mind, meaning while being lucky, his fate is already set in stone.
This origin story is one of the most interesting and unique to me. I love it, thank you again, Dr. Bob!

I honestly think several people wouldn’t mind having scp-181’s powers.
Oh trust me you do not want scp 181 powers. Imagine the end of earth and being the last person alive because of your luck
The fact he could have been designated SCP 777 is a tragedy
Studies show that 90% of gamblers quit before hitting big.
Being able to control probability is the most powerful thing ever, and nobody realizes it.
You just have to be very careful. Dont go to Vegas, instead,do the lottery, and get into the stock market. You have a much higher chance of not getting beaten by a raging casino owner that way. Also one lottery win is enough to pretty much last a lifetime, if you're lucky.

Nagito Komaeda: hey
I like this one. Its more than just, he always has good things happen. Its, the best outcome depending on the situation. That carries a lot more nuance
The foundation is brain dead for not trying to hire him as a basic superhero guard that can literally contain just about any scp successfully.
If he’s so lucky all he has to to is make some sort of escape attempt no matter how little, and luck would be on his side and if he does escape from the facility many people would be dying
Another great video, easily my favourite scp content creator 😁
All of the luck he has lost, has somehow been transferred
sounds familiar
I’d have pointed out in court that my fingerprints weren’t on the dice and that I’d never touched touched them. Hell, they’d be able to show that only casino staff touched them

How "lucky" was the SCP Foundation that they just came and found a SCP out of pure luck
Dude would be a perfect candidate to be part mobile task force with anomalous creatures, his luckyness would mean he can get shoot perfectly at any angle and kill things way easier
I will never skip or miss a Dr.bob video
Love your animations and videos keep up the good work
By virtue of him being near all the terrible shit at the SCP location he's bound to luckily avoid more dangerous conditions and make others have more danger happen to him. He's safer out in the world full of people where it could be more easily absorbed.
if master chief was a normal person in modern times
"Classified as safe"
That's a violation of classification protocols. Being a sentient being with intelligence, he would have to be a Euclid class at minimum. Safe can only include things that not only can't leave their containment (like this guy), but are also objects or otherwise of animal intelligence or below.
I can see them marking him as safe to keep lax standards on containment. if it becomes too stringent, he might get lucky and break out. a safe class breaking out, isnt all that special.
its all just to rig the game
@@zeedstun891 Ah, so the truth is, the game was rigged from the start.
@@zeedstun891 I wonder if the classification is also something connected to his ability. Like, his luck made him get a lower classification, despite that being against protocol.
If they classified him as Euclid and he tried to get out by simply walking out, the guards would probably trip and fall in some absurd way to breach containment. Or there would be some other actuallly dangerous Keter breach that would cause him to be released. Best to give him the most normal, bland existence with minimal risk so that he doesn't get lucky and cause something bad or worse to happen on his site.
bruh it says some entities who are sentient are safe
can you stop making up stuff out of your mind it literally says that its usually given to sentient beings
2:23 this guy should realistically be used to casinos getting mad at him, even accusing him of cheating. If he's always had this luck, it can't be the first time he's ever been kicked out of a casino.
I didnt know Makoto Naegi became an scp
So if he wanted to he could escape, but is too scared too.
But what if he says "wow I'm so lucky that this guard is going to have a heart attack in less than 3 seconds for me to escape that would be luck"
