Luck is a normal distribution. Most people win some, lose some. Some people randomly win again and again while other get cr@pped on over and over.
People who tell stories of guardian angels are those who the odds went in favour and they lived. Those who died tell no tales.
Like "make you own luck" books are written by those lucky enough to make it. The losers don't get to write books about how the random ways of the world screwed them over despite their efforts. Even if they did nobody would publish them.
These same fundamentals are used by gambling advice con artists. Sell random advice to hundreds of people on which horse will win a race. Those who randomly got the winners will be impressed and reinvest. The losers will walk away.
By the time the con has picked the winners three times for a tiny percentage of the original suckers they will fork over thousands in expectation.

Apparent randomness is a manifestation of a failure to establish cause.
When one fails to perceive the fundamental nature and to grasp the underlying cause of good and evil they do seem to take on a life of their own, a life conceived within the imagination and paid for at the expense of their creators rationality. In choosing to believe in and conceding ones fate to these self-generated phantoms of reality one sacrifices the power of ones own mind to alter and control their own destiny, thereby becoming a self-imposed victim of chance and plaything of their own misguided whims. The ideology and world view of a congregation devoted to the mutual support of a delusion founded on an unquestioned premise, typically invoking a supposed divine creator and overseer of existence, attributed with humanlike characteristics enhanced with omnipresent, omniscient omnipotence, a being that exists and resides only within the imagination of those who created, promote and worship the delusion paving the way for a belief in a consciousness independent of the physical body and brain from which it arises in the blindly guided and unrealistic hope of eternal existence in a contradictory state of unearned, unachieved and undeserved happiness, demonstrating an inability and refusal to accept and conform to reality.

I absolutely do not believe in Guardian Angels - except for those Red- Beret wearing ones that used to ride the subway in the US.
For one to believe in the concept of Guardian Angels, this belief that "someone watches over us", One also has to suspend ones knowledge of the laws of physics and science. The argument for Guardian Angels is no different from the argument from God, and if it fails to persuade me of the existence of God, it most certainly fails to convince me of the presence of invisible, untouchable, benign spirits.

i can remember on 2 occasions being guided or saved. one was quite recently, i was walking along a busy city street, and wthout looking almost crossed into the path of a speeding bus, but i felt something pull me inwards against the wall the avoid my ensuing demise, and no it wasn´t another human being. the other occasion, i was on my 750cc motorbike in the 80´s biking through holland, in the pouring rain, but the group i was with were getting faster and faster, so i had to put my foot down also, about 100mph in very heavy rain, i should´ve died that day, but again was guided. i could almost feel a presence almost whispering to me to say keep calm you wont die
