I think "may the logical uncertainties resolve in your favor" makes a bit more sense, at least if you assume a multiverse/UDT setup where only logical facts determine the value of one's utility function, and "random variables" being favorable/unfavorable is just an illusion where copies of you at different locations in the multiverse experience different inputs.
Ah, right. I think a nonrandom variable situation actually came up and I said "May the unknown variables be in your favor" or "May the hidden variables be in your favor".
Why use this instead of the simpler "May the outcome be in your favour" which is also more accurate for what you really mean?
