The idea is that your chance can be down the river. This can be both a positive view and a somewhat negative viewpoint. The more negative view is that while the situation at hand right about now could be a hands on good opportunity in the present, any realistic opportunity might be fairly removed and fairly improbable. An example might be someone talking to a prospective date at an outdoor event and their attention is not quite focused on you and it seems you aren't really getting them to pay attention to you. They are right there but for all intents and purposes any opportunity is either down the river or it is not going to materialize at all. Or I might think that I am on a good career arch but that actual work I am doing lately and in this week and month is tedious and seems to have a low horizon as far as potential. The good times rolling in on this career path is down the river if at all. The positive view of down the river is that this trip is already a bit exciting, adventurous and holding some good surprises and with this excursion down the river, while still holding mystery and elements of the unknown, it seems more likely to present new and exciting experiences along the way. And with this view, even if I am struggling a bit at this point, the twists and turns on the down the river are a bit more hopeful of materializing into what I actually want and might prefer.
