If I gave a shit you'd be the first one I'd give it to.

Cheat...Black Jack!
Besides using loaded dice or bribing a pit boss, counting cards is the only way to screw the house. You’re going to keep one number in your head. Start from zero with a new deck, and as each card is flipped over, add or subtract as follows: For cards 2 through 6, add one; for 10’s, face cards, and aces, subtract one. Ignore 7’s, 8’s, and 9’s. At the end of each round, if the number in your head is positive, bet bigger than you normally would—the deck’s full of high cards, which is marginally worse for the always-hitting-on-16 dealer. If it’s negative, bet the table minimum, for the opposite reason. Start with the number in your head for the next round, but begin at zero again when the deck’s reshuffled. Be sure not to vary bets too widely. If you jump from a $5 bet to $75, then back down to $5 again, the guys behind the security cameras may catch on and reduce you to a carpet stain.

Lyrics : Total Eclipse of the Heart by The Dan Band
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming round
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound
of my tears
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all my
years've gone by
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
I see the fuckin look in your eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
And fuckin every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
I fuckin need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (shit)
I don't know what to do
I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Fucking ever's gonna start to-
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm fuckin falling apart
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
(oh jesus) Once upon a time there was light in my life
Now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming round
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound
of my tears
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all my
years've gone by
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
I see the fuckin look in your eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
And fuckin every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
I fuckin need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (shit)
I don't know what to do
I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Fucking ever's gonna start to-
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm fuckin falling apart
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
(oh jesus) Once upon a time there was light in my life
Now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
