The Promise  6-3

At the carnival they start to play this gambling game.  They keep getting offered a better price which makes the cost of the game go up, but they keep on playing because they are sooooo close to winning.  The owner of the game comes and tells the Micheal and his cousin's boyfriend they are in good hands so they play a few more times until they lose all their money and don't win.  They had indeed won but were cheated.  I've learned not to gamble.  For this specific story and from playing a stock market game.  There is no skill involved and you can't control the out come.  I kind of felt bad for them getting cheated, but I knew it would happen.
