Why Gamble?

♫ Throw a quarter in the sky, before it falls to the ground,
Gotta' call heads or tails
Throw my nickels and my pennies and my dimes
In the wishing well ♫
- Christon Gray
 
Throwing all that you got in "the wishing well" with hopes of "winning somehow" as you take your chances in something uncertain, only to lose them at the end - that's surely ludicrous.
 
But believe it or not, that's what figuratively happens to us when we choose to sin. In the end, it's really not worth the thrill; you've just wasted your time and endangered your soul. So why do we gamble our souls to a game that ensures our own tragedy?
 
"Can a man take fire in his bosom,
  and his clothes not be burned?
Can one walk upon hot coals,
  and his feet not be burned?"
- Proverbs 6:27-28, MEV
