Mosca,

How about this?

There was a young lady from Britain,
Who at a card table was sittin’
She did not know B.S.
So she just had to guess
Among splittin', standin', or hittin'.

There was a young lady from Britain,
Who at a card table was sittin’
She held the best pair
On the front of her chest
And it got all the dealer's attention.

There was a young lady from Britain,
Who at a card table was sittin'
She refused to big bet
Took a ton of house edge
And all of the ploppies were smitten

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

This is fun, Mosca! Not to stop the first one, but here's another start to work with.

There was a young girl from Decatur
Who asked the casino to rate her

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Too much they would give
The casino wouldn't live
So they tossed that bish in with the gators.

Who asked the casino to rate her,
But much to their dread,
She was way way ahead;

You guys know, traditionally, limericks should be slightly inappropriate, right?

There was a young girl from Decatur,
Who asked the casino to rate her,
“I will not acquiesce,
‘Til you lift up your dress;
And show me what I’m eating later.”

(Post pre-approved by OD, though he said he didn’t know if Wizard or BBB might have something to say about it.)

And a nice perfect pair,
You could see 'cos her blouse was tight fittin'

There was a young man in the basement
Who moved from New York to Las Vegas
The heat and Chinese decks ran so bad
The money shoe was now empty for the lad
Time to move back in with Mom and Dad

1 day suspension for an insult to poetry*. Dammit man, none of that scanned and the fifth line has to rhyme with the first in a limerick.

no, not really. Not even for the thinly disguised sleight

A young man from Pittsburgh did say,
“The odds? They don’t matter, just play!
He bet all his hunches,
Lost money in bunches,
And now he cleans up the buffet.
