I often joke, that being a Baptist, I only take a bet when I know it is a
sure thing.  The reason of course is that if it is a sure thing, then there
is no uncertainty and thus it cannot be considered to be a gamble.

I mean it of course as a joke (not a very good one, but I am limited in my
joke capabilities) but it of course is not following the spirit of the
restriction against gambling.  Of course it is also stupid.  We all know
that the only sure thing is that the opposite will happen when someone says
something is a "sure thing".
