     Perhaps the huckster is suffering from a severe karmic imbalance.
Either an ancestor of the huckster or a past life of the huckster himself
was a real bastard, and the universe has been trying to pay him back ever
since. In addition to penalties to his gambling and bad luck with his
finances, there are a few people who are looking to get compensation for
past wrongs that have been done to them. There are also a few individuals
who will look upon the huckster very kindly on account of his heritage. Of
course, almost all of those individuals will be evil sorcerors, manitous,
and the like.
