Let's break this down.
Waking up every day, it's a crap shoot
Lotto tickets, slot machines, what the hell it's only a few bucks
Stocks/bonds/mutual funds/Treasuries/401s and IRAs, buying bridges
Ponies, sports teams, someone has to win, it could be me!
Poker, it's a legitimate skill, and I bluff really well
Sex, the most exciting gamble of all
Crossing the street against traffic, or shaking hands without Purell
Parachuting, rock climbing (also power tool*use)
Smoking, drinking, eating fatty foods
Flying, boating, driving
