Three cards, one black, which one is it?
"Uhm.... I am going to say middle", Antonio scowled at the man
"correct" he says with disgust as he turns over the card.
"Here is your $35 sir",
"uh.. Excuse me sir" he shout as his customer walks into the crowd of people
"could I have a quarter" the man completely ignores him.
"Ladies and gentlemen I am done for the day", he shouts as nobody stops to listen to him.
As he packs up his cardboard box and his crisp deck of cards. Heads back to his small apartment in the ruff parts of Los Vegas, he walks into his poor room with nothing much but a chair, table, and a old black and white television set with antanas. Antonio struts to the old television presses the power button pounds the top of it with three hits "finally we have power" Antonio says grunt fully, he sits in his old chair grabs the remote and flips through the channels. "There is nothing on" he flips through the blank channels until he comes across a game off professional Blackjack, "well, looks like I am watching poker", he sits for at least two hours watch the cards be scattered around the table wishing he knew what was going on. Then there was something that caught his eye, he sits up in his chair watching a man win $500,000. Antonios thinks that night while laying in his sleeping bag, "what if.....I won $1,000,000" as he falls asleep.
He wakes up the next morning in a nice white suit surrounds be beautiful ladies in skimpy costumes and a man hold a giant check with the name.
"Antonio Marcelli,' for $1,000,000.
"Is this for me?' He asks.
"well it has your name on it,'while the audience laughs,
"no way' Beep
"yes way" Beep,' what is that sound" I ask.
"That is your alarm clock Antonio,' said the host,
"what!!!,' Beep "No!"
Antonio wake up to find himself in his apartment with a alarm clock going off.
Chapter 2
The next morning after going to Mcdonald's for breakfast Antonio went to go stand by a Newsstand reading the paper, as he decided to look for any advertisement for a half time job. He stumbled across a title for a class the title read.
"How to Gamble if You Will,' My eyes stayed at this ad for a moment, and when no one is looking he takes out his pocket knife and quickly cut out the ad, he struts off in the streets like nothing has ever happened.
Antonio has just arrived at his apartment as he takes another look at the paper, the paper reads
"How to Gamble if You Will"

The next day Antonio goes through all of his saving searching for the $300 to make his $1,000,000 dreams possible.
“Finally!”, he shouts as he finds the last bill on the street, yet it is impossible to find $300 on the streets of Los Vegas, so that is where Apollo Robbins; The Gentleman Thief, which I came across that day he offered just to give a young con like me the money after he played my three card monte, he told me
“Son, being a con isn’t for anyone. Here is $300, this should last until you get your life a fair start”.
“That is fine Sir, thank you.” I said with a deceptive tone,
“By the way, Antonio” Apollo said.
“You may want your wallet back” he said smiling with an evil grin holding my wallet, tossed me my wallet back and was on his way.
