The explanation her father gave is a scam sense he runs whene some one gets it right and doesn't gett scared but the scam could be bigger with slight of hand e
it's the fake winners that make it a scam, inherently the game is a game of fchance although most times they'll just cheat you and wouldn't ever pay out a winner anyways
Also, most of these guys can do trick where there is no winning card. And like her father explains in the end, most high tail it and find another street corner. The point of three card monte isn’t letting them play a game of chance. But to take all their money and make them believe they had a chance in the first place.
Extended Ending! 1:40 Chris(adult): Yet, even if he saw the money that my mother just got from winning a bet, he was scared that she might wanna do with him. *imagination* Rochelle: *became rich and wealthy from winning the bet as she filed for a divorce from Julius* I’m sick of you! I got my own money! I’m outta here, you cheap bastard! *proceeded to leave while carrying her suitcases after she took the kids* Julius: *sobbing from this with a broken heart* Baby.......don’t leave me, babe........don’t leave! *too late because she drove away from BedStuy for good to start a new rich wealthy life*
