rolling the dice
Taking a gamble
Rolling the dice means taking a chance or accepting an uncertain outcome.
The phrase comes from games of chance where dice determine results, but extends to any situation involving risk: We're rolling the dice on this investment.
It implies accepting that things could go either way—you might win big or lose everything.
