Hey there, I am not a native English speaker but the lyrics of Still the Same from Bob Seger came just to my attention and I am asking you English speaking guys if this song is actually somehow related with or about a gambler or does the text stand for something completly different topic?

Pretty sure. Great song. Love Seger and love that song.

Though, as a gambler, I cringe at the "you always won every time you placed a bet" line.

I actually looked into this when I saw this post the other day but forgot to get back to the thread. Found a quote supposedly from Seger...

Seger: "It was just Chris Campbell (bass) David Teegarden (drums) and me in the studio when we cut this. People have asked me for years who this is about. It's an amalgam of characters I met when I first went to Hollywood. All 'Type A' personalities, overachieving, driven."

Definitely gambling/poker lingo, but maybe more about hustler types in the entertainment world.

I just started messing around with a backing track to Turn The Page the other day. Working on doing my own rhythm thing, and it's in Em so easy to play licks over.

It's a Belgian song, but it has a long pokerscene in it!
