    Some of us gamble with our lives when we use a crosswalk.

    Point wel taken. It's probably a contextual generalization. I use such phrases like that all the time. Oops, see? I just made a contextual generalization.

    As a rule, it is not a good idea to gamble.

    But with that said, if you must gamble, remember one simple rule: never bet more than you can afford to lose.

    Otherwise, you are not living up to the part about being a good provider for your home (don't ask for scripture, it is in there somewhere).

    in family-related events there sometimes are raffles held, is that considered gambling, even the host gives the tickets and the prize away?

    Is this line of questioning even worth talking about?
