Go For Broke Day

When : Always April 5th

Are you a gambler? Then, today, is your day. It's Go For Broke Day. Today is a day to put it all on the line, and take a chance. It might be money. Or, it can be a love relationship. Perhaps, it's time to initiate a risky project, or to take a new job.   

Many of us go about our daily lives playing it safe, not taking big chances. If you are of a conservative ilk, you may have never gone out on a limb, or taken big risks. If this sounds like you, maybe today is a day to really let loose and "Go for Broke".

If you can muster up the courage to take a big risk, you can enjoy today by taking big risks and "Going for Broke". We will leave it up to you to decide whether the risk is worth taking.   

Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day.

Reader Comments:

".....Being a history Buff, I know that during World War II, the most decorated unit in the US Army was a unit made up of Japanese Americans. .......I found “April 5-6, 1945: 442nd Regimental Combat Team makes a surprise attack on Nazi mountainside positions in Italy, breaking through the Nazi Gothic Line in one day. That may be related to the Go for Broke Day." Thanks.,Alan J. Rod, Instructor, USAF Public Affairs Center of Excellence
