lap of the gods

"We turn out 220 lambs expecting to get 160 back - at £150 a lamb we're in the lap of the gods until we gather."

“Whether we get it by Wednesday next week which is our deadline I do not know, it is in the lap of the gods.”

"It's literally in the lap of the gods," said the association's chief executive, Iain Wylie.

I accept that my lap is in the lap of the gods.

And when you hit that shot, where it ends up is in the lap of the gods.
