Ricky wanted his Trump cards back. No, his brother wanted the cards back. Being poor they always had share things, clothes, toys, sleeping space. When he made that bet he was certain it was a win, he was confident of it.

When Frankie actually showed with his father in tow Ricky knew he was in trouble. For a brief moment as he walked forward to accept losing he thought of asking to call it off, but he was a man and a hand shake to a bet is sacred.

That night getting ready for bed he had to explain to his brother where the cards went and promise he'd get them back while pinned in a headlock.

When he saw an opportunity, another guarantee Ricky leaped out it. Eventually he'd learn his lesson.
