Blackjack

Now let me tell ya', people
'Bout this blackjack game
It cause me so much trouble
I have myself to blame
Hey, how unlucky can one man be?
Well, every dollar I get
You know, blackjack takes it away from me

My friends don't come around me
'Cause I've been so blind
I can't even borrow a nickel
I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Hey, how unlucky can one man be?
Well, every quarter I get
You know blackjack takes it away, away from me

Now hit me, brother Johnny!

Now deal, brother Robert!

Now let me show you my hand

I sit down with two tens
I thought I'd have a little fun
The dealer hit 16 with a 5
Just enough to make 21
Hey, how unlucky can one man be?
Well, every dollar I get
You know blackjack takes it away from me

Viva Las Vegas

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money thats ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
Theres a thousand pretty women waitin out there
And theyre all livin devil may care
And Im just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
cause even if there were forty more
I wouldnt sleep a minute away
Oh, theres blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on evry deal
All you needs a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

Viva las vegas with you neon flashin
And your one armbandits crashin
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin day into nighttime
Turnin night into daytime
If you see it once
Youll never be the same again

Im gonna keep on the run
Im gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
Ill always remember that I had a swingin time
Im gonna give it evrything Ive got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with evry shot
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,
Viva, viva las vegas

Placebo >>Spite and Malice<<

Revolution, dope, guns, f**king in the streets x2
Aces take your time
Queens are left for dead
Jacks can stand in line
And touch themselves instead
Aces take your pity
And keep it warm in bed
Aces take your time

Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet, scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic when he stands alone
Feeling demonic harmonic in a no go zone
You look well suited like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice, your degrees of sin
Cruising for pity and looking pretty as f**k
Ace take your chances
Queen wish you luck

Aces take your time
Draw your final breath
Jacks are feeling fine
They've clubbed themselves to death
Aces take your pity
You sleep with it instead
Aces take your time

You can play your card, I'll hold onto mine
Tied up in the reasons, Ace take your time
Looks turn to lovers, flames into fires
Jack loves his tragedy, Queen her desires
You look well suited like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice, your degrees of sin
Wrap me in your trauma and I may just give you mine
Queen take your chances
Ace take your time

Dope, guns, f**king in the streets (revolution)
Everything will blow tonight
Either friend or foe, tonight

Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet, scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic when he stands alone
Feeling demonic harmonic in a no go zone
You look well suited like you came to win
Lust, spite and malice, your degrees of sin
Cruising for pity and looking pretty as f**k
Ace take your chances
Queen wish you luck

Dope, guns, f**king in the streets (revolution)
Everything will blow tonight
Either friend or foe, tonight

Randi Rhodes on Air America made a comment along the lines that George Bush is stupid enough to double down on a 17.

Typical liberal. Because on a S17 (or 18) you better be doubling 4-6. But of course, we all know that...

I'm sure that's what she meant. ;)

Try chanting this. Check out the other chants. They work. Lots of books to buy and read to help further your gambling jones.

LITTLE QUEEN OF SPADES
by Robert Johnson

Now, she is a little queen of spades
and the men will not let her be
Mmm mmm mmm, she is the little queen of spades
and the men will not let her be
Everytime she makes a spread
hoo, fair brown, cold chill just runs all over me

I'm gon' get me a gamblin' woman
if the last thing that I do
Eee hee ee, gon' get me a gamblin' woman
if it's the last thing that I do
Well, a man don't need a woman
hoo, fair brown, that he got to give all his money to

Everybody say she got a mojo
now, she's been usin' that stuff
Mmm mmm mmm, 'verybody says she got a mojo
'cause she been usin' that stuff
But she got a way trimmin' down
hoo, fair brown, and I mean it's most too tough

Now little girl, since I am the King
baby, and you is a queen
Ooo hoo eee, since I am the King
baby, and you is a queen
Le's us put our heads together
hoo, fair brown, then we can make our money green

Johnson's "gamblin' woman" uses a mojo to bring in the winnings, but she also "trims" or marks her card deck, so that she can cheat a little, too. Because she is a card sharp, it is very likely that her particular mojo bag contains lucky hand root and five-finger grass, both of which are reputed to "aid in all the work that five fingers can do."


The Lucky W Amulet Archive is a collection of amulets, talismans, and charms, with rituals and spells given secondary consideration. This page is a shortcut providing links to all of the Lucky W gambling amulets -- plus complete instructions for some simple, folkloric gambling spells (marked with a *) drawn from "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice," my online book-in-progress about African-American folk-magic. I also maintain a web page cataloguing money-drawing spells for those interested in that subject.

Although its an anthem to reckless gambling, Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" really gets the adrenaline pumping.. Music Video is pretty lame though:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=XESEt5A12Zo&feature=related

LYRICS:

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's -all- the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

Yeah thats the song i was going to suggest as the best "put me in the mood to kick casino ass" song ever.

Just go download it, if you dont have it on your mp3 player already

Also, dire straights - "money for nothing" makes me think winning money while sitting on my ass and doing almost nothing, i have the guitar rift as my ringtone :)

Technically this one's about poker, but it has a lot of the same sentiments:

Gambler's Prayer
Jonathan Coulton

Lord hear my prayer
Look down on me
I’m not as wealthy as I used to be
It’s not even ten and I’m busted again
Why does this happen to me?

Give me a sign
Show me you care
A straight to the Ace Lord, or even a pair
I can’t make it alone and I’ll sink like a stone
Unless you can undo what I’ve done

So Lord lift me up in your tender embrace
Lend me your wisdom, your strength and your grace
Help me to smash my opponent’s fat face
Oh Lord help me take money from my friends

Deep down I know
That it’s only a game
But I want them shaking in terror and shame
It’s just poker and beer
Still I need them to fear me Lord
It’s not enough just to win

Deal me good cards and I’ll handle the math
We’ll take their money while they take a bath
I’ll show them my hand and you’ll show them your wrath
Oh Lord help me take money from my friends

And I don’t want to cheat them
Because I know that’s a sin
I just want to defeat them
And make it hurt when I win
Make it hurt when I win

So poke them with sticks
And crush them with stones
Chew them up good Lord and spit out their bones
Make my riches grow and let those bitches know
That you hate them and love only me

Burn it all down until nothing survives
Make them regret for the rest of their lives
The day that the bet their dogs and their wives
Oh Lord help me take money from
Help me take money from
Help me take money from my friends
