The classic numbers racket is based on a three-digit number that corresponds to the last three digits of the total money "take" at an area racetrack--this is a legitimate, published number. You bet on a three-digit number that you think will be the winner. If you picked the right one, the numbers "bank" pays you 600:1. These odds strongly favor the bank because there are 999 possible combinations. The benefit to you is that you can bet as little as a quarter at a time--and the numbers "runner" (the person who collects and pays off) comes to you.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

In the last 10 years or so, the "Family" has gone into more legitimate "looking" businesses like setting up small brokerage houses. This serves twofold for them; 1) Front a legitimate business 2) Launder and wash money made from illegitimate operations like bookmaking, shylocking, etc. and put into the legitimate company.

Yes, I know, i've been gone for quite some time now, had to take care of some "family" business, but now Don Cardi is back, and stronger than ever! LOL!
