Kenny Rogers did say the guy rendering the advice was pretty much a freeloader of some sort:
For a taste of your whiskey
I'll give you some advice
he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette.
I guess this gambler was just good at giving advice.
Rogers gives a hint in these words:
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
Yah, it is about pursuing something in life
It doesn't say the gambler knew when to hold and fold.
Just says without knowing the solution, you probably be drinking and bumming cigs
just like the gambler but there is no "how" involved.
