Are there certain things we can't gamble on?

The things in life that become our greatest achievements were gained by taking a gamble!

Is it wrong to walk up to a window and place a bet on 7 horses running in a circle?

But then it's OK to enjoy skydiving as a hobby?

Is it wrong to bet dimes on a card game?

But then OK to gamble with your life by eating a Triple Stack Wendy's burger everyday for lunch?

Is it wrong to bet a friend a lunch on who will get the best score on the back 9?

Then OK to day-trade your money on an internet trading account?

Is it wrong to put $5.00 on Powerball?

But then give the homeless bum on the street $5.00 and believe he is going to eat it and not drink it?

I "bet" that if I looked at every single person on earth.

We all gamble more with our life than we do with our money.

And we "all" gamble.....

If we were to live one day without a wager.

That day would be spent sitting on the couch.
