Kockar bez sreće (Serbian Cyrillic: Коцкар без среће, lit. "Gambler Without Luck") is the sixth studio album by Serb war singer Baja Mali Knindža, released in late 1993 by SuperTon. It was released along side "Rat i mir" and would be the first time Baja is accompanied by Orkestar Genijalci. The album differs from previous albums as it does not contain any patriotic material. In the present-day, it is one of the most rare and sought-after albums by Baja.

Release

Kockar bez sreće was simultaneously released along side Rat i mir in late 1993. Unlike previous albums, Kockar bez sreće does not contain any patriotic material but rather love songs.

Many of the songs in the album originate from the start of Baja's career in the 80s. For example, the song, "Nemoj me lagati mila" was performed by Baja as far back as 1989 where he performed the song in the Prvi Glas Livna competition. They were eventually reworked and compiled for this album.

A year later in 1994, SuperTon released the VHS Rat i mir which not only included music videos for songs from the album of the same name, but also included music videos for a majority of this album. Kockar bez sreće would also receive a release in Australia by Video Novosti.

In 2015, the album was first uploaded to YouTube and other streaming services by SuperTon with the improper track listing. It would then be corrected with the 2020 re-release.
