Best Gambling Poems

love
can be
a gamble 
treading on sand
in uncharted land 
hoping to quench
the craving
of parched
hearts

Young couples every day
Falling in love
Casting their dice
Hoping for the best
Vying for true love
Trusting their hunch
In the love lottery
Crossing their fingers
Hanging a rabbit foot
Throw it all on a gamble
Never crossing their mind
To have the conversation
And ask what’s meaningful
What’s important to you?
What do you believe in?
What...

Our religion forbids all 
games of chance guys
We ain't allowed to 
indulge in that harmful 
enterprise
But no one can claim that 
gambling is at all wise

To more has gambling 
brought much misery 
and misfortune
Trying your luck that 
way brings bad luck to 
this money goon!...

He is a bookies monkey,
A blackjack Joe,
A casino junkie,
A slot machine Moe,

He is a roulette Roger,
A double down Dave,
A betting shop lodger,
A gambling slave,

He is a baccarat Billy,
A poker sharp Pete,
A wily old Willie,
A Charlie cheat,

He is a high stakes Harry,
A dog track Dan,
A lotto...

You made a puerile and repugnant scene.
That was the night you broke a slot machine.
You did it in the casino right out in plain view.
There were scores of patrons around us to watch you.
You pestered me for money in a pertinacious way.
I kept saying to...

I am a gambling man
broken by the world again
I’m not what  i am
but who cares where i stand
jealous eyes and the lonesome rain
is all i have for my enternal shame
swanky cars,ruby lips
and thin cigars
happy people with happy lifes
parade like peacocks in their empires of...

A spider on a windscreen wiper
Is gambling with his life,
He better pray the sun stays out
Or he just could be in strife.

Perhaps he could take up poker,
Or roll the dice around,
I think he'd stand a better chance
Than when the rain comes down....

Oh such throes.
There it goes....

How To Get Rich From Gambling

By Elton Camp

Probabilities is what gambling is all about
With enough trials, probability will work out
Though gambling will put most in the ditch,
There also is a way from it to get filthy rich

Chances stay the same for each random event
Ignore that...

It all started out so innocently...
An activity of amusement if you will.
At first your satisfied with a small amount.
As time goes by...that small amount no longer stirs a thrill...
so you up your bet...
not realizing a black cloud is beginning to form around you.
You start to...

white horses
seven eyed monsters
we are riding high
blue blinking lights
from the turquoise trees
shaking figures of rotten flesh
we are gambling with life...

After the tender moments 
and the whispered promises
Love can go awry
Two spirits who met and made love
may end their bond 
over a triviality
To build trust is no easy task 
It can be toppled by a word
Still, we seek joy and fufillment
In each other's arms 
We...

I made the bet on who’d win the game
the Bulls looked great; my team played quite lame
dressed in clown’s clothes
with a red clown nose
the whole office will laugh without shame
