A Childhood Gambler to a Kingpin of a Casino Empire

It's a story of a young man growing up in the suburbs of East Los Angeles, Ca. A story of what all young gamblers dream of and few will experience, and perhaps, survive. Frankie Santos started learning the games of poker and horse racing at the age of 10 years. At 12 he shared his new devotion with his fellow classmates by getting them involved in poker games on the school grounds. In high school, he continued to live in the environment of trying to make a fast buck playing the horses. As a young man in his 20's, he enters into a journey of big money, greed, drugs, and becoming the target of the Mexican Mafia. He is on the run and in hiding, and discovers another hard fast paced journey. By nature, he is a compassionate man, and a protector of good decent people that may be in harms way, especially family. From the age of innocence to manhood and the commencement of rise to power, Frankie Santos did not know what was in his destiny.
