this is actually an AWESOME cover oif an already great Motorhead song.
As best as I can figure it gambling is being used as a metaphor for how his life will play out. He sets out to get as much out of life as he can so he goes under the assumption he will attain the things he needs most which is the metaphor that the ace of spade represents. And he knows that odds are against him of getting the things he needs most, and that in the end he will probably fail to attain them, but in the end he still wins for having tried in life in the first place and no one can take that from him.
