The Lyrics

If you think a friend is suffering from a gambling addiction, it's important to act before things get worse. Just make sure that, you know, they actually have a gambling addiction first.
I know things can go wrong but I abhor
They way you rip me without gore
For what I've done, you've kept a score
For ev'ry time I'm at the store
And I take a really small detour
To spend a fee upon a horse
If it wins, that rocks, I've won a hoard
And you think I'm going overboard

But see, the bet was a dollar
And that is all, won't go harder
You think I'll break hard and falter
Is the slope that slippery?
Bit too much now, now, now
Bit too much, bit too much, bit too much now

I won't go down the rabbit hole
'Cause I have a little self-control
Not even once a day, you know
Try once a fortnight, then you're close

Told you the bet was a dollar
And never more, so try harder
To think of ways that I'll falter
And you're justified to freak
Bit too much now, now, now
Bit too much, bit too much, bit too much now
Bit too much now, now, now
Because the bet was a dollar, just a dollar (bit too much, bit too much, bit too much now)

Not at the end of a tiny tether
No, I've got all of my life together
And I (just clicked), I notice all the pauses to buy new members
For your phone's team

Come on, my bet was a dollar
All while you spend sev'ral hundred
Guess gacha games love to take in
Those blind to hypocrisy
I've told you, my bet was a dollar
Don't get that now, just try harder
Blocked you six times, I won't falter
I'll just add a seventh, please
Bit too much now (now, now)
Bit too much now (bit too much, bit too much now)
Bit too much now (now, now)
All 'cause the bet was a dollar, just a dollar (bit too much, bit too much now)

Manny: There's only one system: bet, lose, borrow, steal, lose, take the drugs, lose, prison...death.
Bernard: Don't get pious; you started me off.
Manny: That was a just a flutter, this is Satan's bingo.

Excellent! I understand both the OS and the parody. The OS was new to me, but easy to pick up. The rhyme scheme was tricky at parts, but you weren't fooled a bit. Thank you. 555
