Wonderfully penned with thoughtful lines that speak out with truthful observations.
Admiring your talent and cleverness, good poet. 
-
Very good diamante, but as Elrena already pointed out, two typos: adrenalin and bankruptcy.

Well...
In my heart, I think the form is not likely to enhance meaning or feeling, but rather resembles those conceits of the 17th and 18th centuries, where a clever form was all.
The clutch of words points up the character of most gamblers well; though it does not have room to allude to that interesting trait, the belief in some lucky talisman, and the belief in ' a lucky streak', which mathematics also posits, with the difference that the gambler thinks he knows when he has struck one.

All of the above. Cleverly done. Good luck in the contest and happy trails.

Very nice. You must live in Ohio.
I see only two things here: adrenaline and bankruptcy. Otherwise, this is great.
Well wishes in the contest.
Thank you for sharing.
