About
Get It Twisted, Gamble is a gamblecore copypasta that is a reverse of an anti-gambling speech said by Twitch streamer Trainwreckstv, known for his gamba streams. The copypasta advocates gambling, urging the reader to engage in it and promising them that they will win and become a billionaire. Following the viral spread of the copypasta in 2022, the phrase "get it twisted" gained independent virality, used as a reverse of the slang expression "don't get it twisted," meaning that what is said should not be taken at face value and with skepticism applied. The phrase gained particular popularity in streamer Northernlion's community due to repeated use of it by the streamer.
Origin
Prior to February 4th, 2022, during a livestream, streamer Trainwreckstv made a speech in which he spoke against gambling, telling his viewers to not engage in it despite himself frequently gambling on his streams. On February 4th, 2022, YouTube[1] user BlackSnorlax uploaded a clip from the livestream, which received over 87,000 views in three years (shown below).
On January 5th, 2022, Redditor SirlronYT posted a copypasta based on the speech to the /r/copypasta[2] subreddit, where it received over 140 upvotes in three years.
Do not get it twisted, do not gamble. Do not start. Gambling is entertainment and entertainment only. You won't break even, you won't win. You won't do any of that, you understand? You will only go into debt and ruin your fucking life.
On May 16th, 2022, Redditor silberstoneloud posted an edit of the clip, replacing Trainwreckstv's speech with a speech that promoted gambling. The post (shown below) received over 1,700 upvotes in the /r/xqcow[3] subreddit in three years.
