Snake throws the monte with brother acting as shill. Fun to watch, even if not technically correct.
Homer and Marge walk through a run-down neighborhood, come upon Snake tossing the Monte, paying off a 'winner' (looks and sounds just like Snake, obviously a brother acting as shill.)
Homer runs over, Marge warns him off, pointing out the similarities between Snake and the 'winner.'
Snake (to Homer): "Just pick the red card, it's totally not hard"
Homer lays 20 down, loses it.
Marge turns the other cards, both also black (!)
Marge: "Homer, he cheated you!!"
Snake: "Surely you don't blame _me_!! (runs off) ......
I've seen this episode many times, but I can't recall what kind of a surface Snake was working on. Anybody??

Snake throws the monte with brother acting as shill:
Homer: Whoa, careful now. These are dangerous streets for us upper-
lower-middle class types, so avoid eye contact, watch your
pocketbook, and suspect everyone.
Snake: Three-Card Monte.
Homer: Woo hoo! Easy money! [runs over]
Marge: Homer, these games are fixed.
Homer: Then how come that guy's winning?
Man: Whoa, I, like, totally won again.
Snake: Way to go, bro!
Marge cautions Homer, "He looks and acts just like the dealer. I think
they're related, or at least in cahoots."
Snake: Just pick the red card, it's totally not hard.
Homer: Twenty on this one, my good man.
Snake: Sorry, my good man: black.
[Marge turns the other two cards over; they're both black]
Marge: Homer, he cheated you!
Snake: Surely you don't blame _me_!
Marge: It's people like _you_ who are ruining our downtown promenades
and piazzas. How dare you prey on the greedy and stupid like
this!
"Buh-bye," calls Snake hastily, running off.
