It could do I suppose. Many Christians carry various religious paraphanalia for luck. St. Anthony statues on the dash of their cars for example.
The hoodoo belief system also has various charms, and rituals based around bringing good luck.
Most religions are built around collections of superstitions anyway. Even if many religious people don't see it that way.

To believe in luck is to admit confusion and ignorance of an effective understanding of "religion". Except that... religion is not a spiritual belief because religion is merely an external expression that identifies the faith you hold so you are not much better off believing in a "religion".

Actually "belief" in "anything" is the folly of man
I declare war against the word "belief"
"Belief" is the conviction of the truth of a proposition. There is no single definition of belief on which scholars agree, but rather numerous theories and continued debate about the nature of belief.
So you see "Belief" cannot agree! should you then pin your hopes on a "belief"?

I guess that would depend upon how far that belief is developed. If someone finds themselves going out of their way to try to bring themselves luck or avoid bad luck, then I suppose it could seem that way.

No, just a misunderstanding of probability that can lead to some silly superstition.
