What Is the Latin Translation of “Life Is a Gamble”?

Question by Katelyn: What is the Latin translation of “life is a gamble”?

Living the vida loca?

Answer by Dirac
Something like this, perhaps:

vita est iactus tesserarum = life is a throw of the dice,

or this,

vivere est tesseras iacere = to live is to throw the dice

or

vivere est alea ludere (or ‘aleam ludere’) = to live is to play dice

Yes, good. “Vita alea est”. I didn’t know about that.

—-

My last one is not wrong. Compare this from Cicero: “in foro ale? ludere” Reference below.
