Probably the first song to come to your mind when thinking about gambling is Kenny Rogers' The Gambler. The song is a brilliant metaphor for life and how timing matters.

2. Clint Black - Good Run of Bad Luck If you didn't already know, this song was featured in the well-received film, Maverick. Side note, Clint black also made an appearance in the movie. The song includes many phrases and references to gambling, but it is most often associated with the frustrations and headaches of playing craps.
3. Frank Sinatra - Luck Be a Lady Another classic oldie but still as relevant today Luck be a Lady originally heard in the Broadway phenomenon Guys and Dolls. The song has been covered by a wealth of stars since, which makes it easy to overlook its gambling references. One of the best is when the song discusses how a lady should never blow a kiss on another guy's dice.
4. Lady GAGA - Poker Face It is not just the golden oldies which refer to betting and wagering. There are some more recent songs, such as Lady GAGA's Poker Face which has apparent references to gambling. Even though the song may be using gambling to make sexual undertones - holding them as they do in Texas - the song still makes direct gambling references which makes it a contemporary betting song.
5. Elvis Presley - Viva Las Vegas Just hearing the title of this classic Elvis hit makes you sign the tune and lyrics in your head. His love letter to the gambling mecca of the world, the song needs no introductions. It discusses how Vegas will change you take on gambling and how it is a unique experience. Just like Vegas, listening to the song will make you never the same again.
Other worthwhile mentions include Bruce Springsteen's Roll the Dice, Motorhead's Ace of Spades and Abba's Winner Takes it All. You probably never realised just how many songs make gambling references. Still, the quality of the music goes to show how gambling transfers to other life situations - and makes for good music.
