When I was a kid I played football on Commonwealth Av in Merrick at Marconi's house. Marconi came from a family of gamblers and grew up to be a blackjack dealer in Atlantic City, but quit when a player at his table had a heart attack and another player insisted he keep dealing rather than go get help because the player was "on a roll". Then I heard Marconi also had a pretty nasty gambling habit of his own, which was the path he was destined for considering he explained football point spreads to me in 4th grade...he wound up stealing his mom's wedding ring and hocking it to pay off some bookies, stole his brother's tv and all the cash in his wallet after his brother gave him a place to stay one night, and things like that.
