Gambling Blues: The Classic Blues of any Gambler

The classic Blues of any Gambler, whether it's Poker, Craps, Blackjack, Roulette or Baccarat is "Why Didn't I Go With My Gut??!!!  If you're lucky enough to have NEVER experienced it, all I can say is, you've entered a very small club of gambling elite. I've yet to meet a single gambler, large or small, who's never sung "The Gambler's Blues".
Anyone who loves to "play" knows what it's like to get that strange feeling in the pit of their stomach or deep inside their head, a feeling difficult to describe, when they're just about to place that bet down just before the dice are rolled or shortly after the hand has been dealt. 
Is it a "vision", a "sign", some divine intervention?  Its origin is unknown.  But when it hits you, it defies all logic and rationale.  It's something deep within you that screams Double Down, do a World Bet, go All In, or play your lucky number.  Some would argue that this "feeling in the gut" is bogus, and just a giant dose of sour grapes at having missed the moment, when your luck, your destiny, has forever passed.  But being a seasoned gambler, I've yet to meet a player, serious or recreational, who hasn't experience that mysterious "feeling in the gut" and either listened to it, or worse, second guessed it and ignored it.  Everyone knows that once caution takes hold and you second guess it, it's all over. 
There's no Re-take, no Re-roll, no Re-verse. It's gone and there ain't nothin' you can do about it.  Often, that almost inperceptible moan or gasp, or worse, that shriek of anger and frustration is released from that person who just can't contain themselves cuz they know they blew it. 
They ignored The Gut.  Other times the body language will say it all.  The wind's just been knocked out of 'em, the head lowers, the shoulders slump, the eyelids close.  You know they're asking themselves, Why, Why, Why didn't I listen to my gut???  Sure, "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" is the phrase of the day, but that's not news...it's the Gambler's Blues. 
The dealers know this song.  They see it all the time.  Gamblers Blues: A condition of deep remorse, having missed the bet of a lifetime from ignoring The Gut.  It's a regret sometimes too large and too heavy to bear.  Some will never recover from it.  It will haunt them for days, weeks, months, sometimes years, and when that happens, well, Mister Losing Streak is just around the corner, waiting to pounce, cuz it feels you're weakened, it knows you're broken.  Your gut's done talking to ya cuz Ya Just Don't Listen!  Once Mister Losing Streak rears his ugly head, be prepared for a whole lotta hurt he's about to dump on your tush, to remind you, once and for all, that if you snooze, you'll lose and the song you'll be singing is the "Gambler's Blues".
