with my luck

Is it correct to say that 'your luck is not high'?

'with my luck' is a somewhat sarcastic remark, it means that the luck of the speaker is not very high, in a manner of speaking.

Are these idiomatic and natural?
Which is better?
With my luck, we may just miss the train.
Knowing my luck, we may just miss the train.

Thanks

You could say 'your luck is not high' but it seems a little bad. Another way to say it would be 'you do not have a good chance' or if u want to use the word 'luck' you could say 'you wont have much luck'. Yes, 'with my luck' is a sarcastic remark.
