Whether it be gambling on a small price or your life, would you actually do it/have you done it?

This meaning well, ... if the stakes are relatively high.

I haven't and probably won't~

If it's just gambling for money, sure. So long as I set aside a certain amount and don't let myself go under that, I don't see the harm. It's just when it becomes an addiction and out of control that it's bad.

n_n I play the lottery sometimes which is a sort of gambling.

In terms of gambling Las Vegas style, maybe, but I won't put a lot of money down nor play the slots and such a lot. :P

As for real life situations, actually yeah. I'm studying business at university, so in the real business world you'll go through a lot of gambles. I used to always play it safe, but I realized sometimes in life you have to be exposed to risk so that you'll handle it better. That doesn't mean you should go for all risks, however. You also have to learn to weight the benefits and risks on a certain situation if it's a gamble.

Depending on what I am gambling on and how high the stakes just may be, then I may possibly do it. If the case is what many people think gambling is over, money, then yeah I may do it. However, if I were to gamble over money, then like Erica I myself would have to keep myself at a limit because going overboard in gambling is seriously bad. Gambling can become addicting, which is one reason I try to avoid it but if I trust myself to have control over it, then I'll do it for the fun of it.

As of currently though, I'm like an innocent young baby or what's left of them, I haven't played my heart to gambling as yet and I'm not that sure if I ever will.

As has been said before, it would depend on the stakes and what the effect on my life would be if I won or lost. :3 Generally, I am not a risk-taker.
I am the very model of a scientist salarian,
I've studied species turian, asari, and batarian.

Well, Russian Roulette was one of my favorite childhood games, so...

Anyway, I'm getting up there in years, so I say, why not take a few risks?

Funny thing is, I'm more willing to gamble with my life than with my money on my Platinum :P

Was in the chess club in high school. Would sometimes play for money.

Now its mostly Blackjack or BINGO. Unless I'm dragged with a friend to visit his gran at the care home. They like to play Bridge and Shuffleboard for money.

As for losing money, the best way I lost it was by lobbing two dollar coins down the "poster rolls" at the skin bar.

Does playing the lottery count?

I actually don't mind gambling from time to time. In fact, Blackjack has come to be one of my favorite games to play as of late. But rested assured, I do set a very low limit considering my oh-so wonderful college expenses, and just play it generally for fun - not so much for the aspect of "winnin' it big!"

If somehow the opportunity arose, I would never gamble with my life.

Nope. Maybe it's because I don't know any gambling games.
