Well I think that you can certainly gamble that there is an afterlife and thats your choice,the problem is that as an unbeliever you never really can be 100% sure and if you are right then no problem carry on,but if you are wrong what a Hell of a mistake you will have made,after all in gambling terms there is only a 1in2 chance that you are wrong,and that`s not good odds at all.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
