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.

I feel bad for SCP-181, he’s just some guy with an anomalous power he never wanted, and now he’s rotting away in solitary confinement of no fault of his own.
@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 should really consider changing his class to Keter, because if he ever manages to escape, they would never be able to catch him again. They only have him in custody because he volunteered, not knowing what he was in for. If he ever decides he wants to escape, he will be able to do it, and the bad luck his escape causes the facility he's contained in could be catastrophic.
Also there is an issue with this file, since he is lucky, he cannot be contained. he will be able to escape or be freed quickly from containment. Maybe he already did, and he was lucky no one remarked it yet, as he is classified as safe.....
my favorite part about the scp is theres a chance, no matter how low it is, that this guy is just.. actually a normal dude, and hes just *really* lucky, and it just happens that people around him are really unlucky

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.
This isn't really fair to keep Lucky locked up. If the Foundation was smart they could use him as a human weapon against dangerous reality warping anomalies.
The problem is his good luck ONLY affects him. HE could survive, but that doesn't extend to others. And with the INSANE level of luck he'd need to survive a reality warper, the bad luck he'd send everywhere else WOULD be noticeable and incalculable.
@@Igarappappa true. If I were him I'd ask for a normal life though with minimal risk and all the basics covered so that I wouldn't drain other peoples luck. Probably not gonna happen though it's the foundation
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.
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
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.
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
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!
@@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.
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
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’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.
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.
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
Cool! This was so dang cool-! I will say this one scp thst I'd love to see covered by you one of these days is SCP-4338, Vulcan, the Disaster! That one is a blast to read!
"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.

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

This isn't really fair to keep Lucky locked up. If the Foundation was smart they could use him as a human weapon against dangerous reality warping anomalies.
Well, if only he takes the luck of the anomalies, not the Foundation itself too...
@@MartinHutasoit09
But it's a passive ability he can't control, so...
@@o_o-037 That's why he is locked
The problem is his good luck ONLY affects him. HE could survive, but that doesn't extend to others. And with the INSANE level of luck he'd need to survive a reality warper, the bad luck he'd send everywhere else WOULD be noticeable and incalculable.
@@Igarappappa true. If I were him I'd ask for a normal life though with minimal risk and all the basics covered so that I wouldn't drain other peoples luck. Probably not gonna happen though it's the foundation

I swear to God doctor bob has the ability to copy every scp and knows how to counter it
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.
“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”
It seems like he also realized his power, which is why he doesn't want to escape.
This is my favorite SCP for some reason.
It's always a good day when Dr. Bob uploads.
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.
The. House. Always. Wins.

"The case is airtight." Is usually what they tell you when they have absolutely no evidence. I believe it.
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
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 wonder if 053 was the anomaly that induced raged mentioned at the beginning of the video.
This origin story is one of the most interesting and unique to me. I love it, thank you again, Dr. Bob!
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.

Let's face it, without Dr Bob, we wouldn't know about the majority of the scp's he's done about.
i love how the entire thing that led to the angry guy’s death was SCP 181 just going “ooh a penny”
90% sure this man should be able to walk around the halls of the SCP foundation.
I can think of a thousand ways to use this guy to solve impossible theoretical medical and technological problems.
Thanks dr Bob for making vids so actively i love your SCP vids❤️
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
Its amazing to see anomalous D-class. The underdogs have some top dogs among them.
cool quote
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!

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.
Studies show that 90% of gamblers quit before hitting big.
"if you are unsure who is going to win.. Always bet on scp 181"
Another great video, easily my favourite scp content creator 😁
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
All of the luck he has lost, has somehow been transferred
sounds familiar
The fact he could have been designated SCP 777 is a tragedy
He might be the nicest SCP I seen so far
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
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.
@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!

love your channel keep up the great 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.
This guy needs a new lawyer if he thinks the case against him is airtight

"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
I didnt know Makoto Naegi became an scp
