Bet Big to Lose Big

Everyone always says Bet Big to Win Big,

If they only knew how deep of a hole you could dig,

The thrill of the win is unreplaceable,

In managing this compulsion you feel more than capable,

Soon meals start to be eaten away from the  table,

Kids play time is replaced with the next match on cable,

The world starts to all of the sudden feel unstable,

Your old life starts to feel more like a fable,

If you could only hit the big one you

can get back on track,

Sadly the financial wins won't get your lost time back,

Family celebrates holidays with fun and laughter,

You are still dwelling on the 4th quarter goal line disaster,

To avoid this guilty pleasure propelling you to rock bottom,

Take it from me, keep your online gambling password long forgotten,

When immediate gratification is now at the touch of a finger,

It's no longer necessary to let your last bad beat linger,

The ease of access will only get simpler,

Do you really want to be the victim of a robot swindler?

Some day you can get back to the joys you used to feel,

The smell of the fresh air, the taste of your favorite meal,

Time with family replaces the thrill of the win,

There's a reason why greed is the ultimate sin,

Take this cautionary tale as a firm warning,

But remember your script is not written in leading to preconceived mourning
