"Don't you want to be a supporter, do you want to practice the skills of the big players alone?" Taylor laughed, "I think it's better to work with the support, you can practice the skills of the big players, and you can also practice the coordination." ”

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "What I said is like the day before yesterday, in the case of the dealer cutting cards and temporary cards, don't assist one person to play!"

"The dealer cuts the card and adds the card?" everyone looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Jan, that situation, a person can't cope. Sandra said, "It was proven the day before yesterday. ”

"I couldn't cope with it the day before yesterday, it doesn't mean I still can't cope today!" Xiao Yao said, "I want to try!"

"You want to do the work of three people at the same time?" Yu Gang said, "You don't really want to go to Vegas alone, do you?"

On the day he came, Yu Gang once told Xiao Yao that a person can also count cards. Is Yu Gang lying to Xiao Yao when he says this?

After teaching Xiao Yao the skills of the big player, Xiao Yao tried it with the people in the card counting team, and Xiao Yao could handle it alone. But then, the card counting team directly let Xiao Yao give up admitting defeat, the key is the dealer's cut and temporary addition.

The dealer at the 21 table in the casino is the dealer of the casino, and it is not always necessary to cut or add cards on every hand. In the absence of a cut and add, the support simply increases the efficiency of the entire group. Even if there is no auxiliary card counter, the big player can cope with it alone, but the speed and efficiency of winning money are slower. In that case, the assistant card counter is not only to help the big player choose the table, notify him to play, but also need to help the big player in the subsequent game to carry out some auxiliary calculations, a single person is not enough.

"Why not?" Xiao Yao shrugged, "If I can win without assisting the card counter, then I can go to Vegas by myself." To be honest, I don't want to wait for you to match me with an assistant card counter. ”

Since he knew that Yan Ke and others were blacklisted by the casino and would not go to the casino with him, Xiao Yao planned to go to the casino alone.

After learning how to play as a big player, Xiao Yao performed very well during the test, and was ready to leave for Vegas the next day, but then, Xiao Yao was stumped by the shameless method of adding cards to Taylor's cut cards, which was the dealer at the time. However, Yan Ke said that there would indeed be that kind of practice in the casino, and Xiao Yao couldn't refute it, just thinking that he hadn't learned the card counting method yet, so they deliberately teased themselves.

What Xiao Yao didn't expect was that it was not that they deliberately kept a hand, but that they needed the help and cooperation of others to deal with this situation. At this time, Xiao Yao didn't have the heart to investigate Yu Gang for lying to himself on the way here, but wanted to understand how this group cooperated and whether it was possible to take care of the work of two or three people at the same time. After all, Xiao Yao is a person who can use two things or even multi-purpose, and others must cooperate with many people, so he may not be able to take care of both.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Yao was so active on the first day, and even wanted to learn how to play with the assistant card counter at night. However, although Xiao Yao was very anxious in his heart, he didn't want to show it on his face, so when everyone said that it was too late and would not continue at night, Xiao Yao did not object.

finally survived a night, and the next day Xiao Yao learned the play of assisting the card counter with the people in the card counting team, and began to think about this problem.

Card counting is mental work. Whether it is a big player or an auxiliary card counter, the cards you see are the same, but the things you calculate in your mind are different. Others may only be able to think about one problem at a time, but Xiao Yao has a good brain, and it is not impossible to play two or three instruments at different rhythms at the same time, and to consider or calculate two or three problems at the same time.

Of course, card counting requires more mental power than playing a musical instrument, and considering two or three problems at the same time is something Xiao Yao has not done before. How to do it and how to do it also requires careful research.

Xiao Yao didn't participate in the evening activities last night, and went back to the hotel room after dinner, just to study how to be both a big player and an auxiliary card counter at the same time. In one night, Xiao Yao did come up with a way.

Xiao Yao bought a few decks of cards last night and tried them on his own in the hotel room, which seemed to be feasible. If you are a little selfish, Xiao Yao may set off directly to Boston that night or early the next morning, and then take the earliest flight to the west, but after all, the card counting team has taught itself for two days, Xiao Yao feels that it is better to explain in person and then say goodbye. In this way, the card counting team will definitely test him, and Xiao Yao also wants to let them test it again, so he came to the activity room of the card counting team with Yan Ke today.

"Don't assist the card counters?" the members of the card counting team all looked incredulous.

Actions speak louder than words. Xiao Yao said so, and the people in the card counting team didn't talk nonsense with Xiao Yao, and directly took out tools such as poker and chips and gambled with Xiao Yao. Of course, in this process, it is natural to cut cards in advance and add new cards temporarily.

An hour later, Xiao Yao had a pile of chips in front of him.

"Jan, how did you do that?" asked Sandra, with some excitement, "did you come up with any other way to count cards?"

Although the members of the card counting team have been blacklisted by the casino, this card counting team has not been disbanded, and they plan to continue to recruit other members and guide new members to go to Vegas again.

Cutting cards in advance and temporarily adding cards are not a regular situation, but the people in their counting group are academic, and they are not talking about luck, but probability, so they can't cope with the situation of cutting cards in advance and temporarily adding cards, and they will not rush people to go to the casino. If Xiao Yao can really improve the card counting method and can deal with this situation alone, then they will not have to act in groups in the future.

You know, they don't recruit people casually when they count cards. It is naturally much shorter and easier to recruit a newcomer to the casino after training than to recruit three newcomers to go to the casino after training.

Xiao Yao's card-counting skills were taught by the people in the card-counting group, and he didn't hide it from them, so he immediately said his own method.

"It seems that when we recruit new people in the future, we will have to find someone like Yang who has a particularly strong mental arithmetic ability. After listening to Xiao Yao's explanation, Sandra said a little deflated.

In fact, Xiao Yao doesn't have any new algorithms, the basis is still the algorithms that their card counting team taught Xiao Yao in the past two days, but they calculate two or three card counting methods in different positions in a short period of time. In the middle, of course, there are some small tricks on how to avoid interfering with each other in the middle, but the core of Xiao Yao's ability to do this is his extremely powerful mental arithmetic ability. The mental arithmetic ability of the people in the card counting group is also good, but no one can reach the level that Xiao Yao said, so Xiao Yao's method is only feasible for them, but it cannot be used.

"Forget it," Yan Ke shook his head beside him, "It's hard to find a second one for a guy like Yang!"

Is there a second person like himself in this world? Xiao Yao didn't know.

Xiao Yao didn't answer Yan Ke's words, stood up and said to everyone: "I plan to leave Cambridge today, if it goes well, I may be able to fly from Boston to LV today, thank you very much for taking care of you in the past two days!"

"Leaving today?" Taylor said with some surprise, "in such a hurry?"

"You're really just here to learn card counting?" Yan Ke smiled, "It's too ruthless to us, isn't it?"

"How do you say that?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Taylor, it's okay for them to say this, what qualifications do you three have to say this?" Xiao Yao promised that he would consider investing in their business plan.

"Taylor," Xiao Yao looked at Taylor and the others, "I'm from Huaxia, far away from the United States, it's unlikely to come often, I'm an artist, and I'm a very famous artist, I have a lot of work, and I have limited vacation time, so I went to LV as soon as possible to play in LV for a few more days." ”

"Understood!" Taylor smiled and nodded, "You're only alone, you don't have to play a code with your companions, and the chances of the casino finding out that you're counting cards are much smaller than finding us, or it will take a lot longer." Maybe the casino hasn't had time to find out that you count cards and blacklist you, and you've already finished your vacation and won a lot of money to go back to China!"

"I hope so!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "In the future, if you have the opportunity to go to Huaxia, remember to find me, I will entertain you!"

"Ha!" Taylor smiled and hugged Xiao Yao, "I will!"

After hugging and saying goodbye to Taylor and the other four, Xiao Yao said to Yan Ke and the others: "I won't go to Macheng, when you return to China in the future, there will be a chance for us to go to Macheng together!"

Macheng in China is a special zone, and the casinos in the area are also legal. Although the casinos in Vegas have blacklisted the three Yan Ke, the United States and China are so far apart that the casinos in Horse City should not have blacklisted the three Yan Ke.

"Interesting!" Yan Ke smiled and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder, and also hugged Xiao Yao.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone to book a plane ticket. Booking air tickets temporarily, the earliest air tickets that Xiao Yao could book were also in the evening. Xiao Yao stayed with the card counting team for a while, had a parting lunch together, and then returned to the hotel to pack up and check out, ready to go to Boston.

When he returned to Boston this time, Xiao Yao didn't ask Yan Ke to drive him, but asked the hotel to help call a car to take him to Boston's Luogan Airport.

Xiao Yao booked a flight at half past six in the evening, and arrived at Luogan Airport at about three o'clock in the afternoon, three and a half hours before the plane took off. This time was very long, but it was not worth finding a hotel to rest, so Xiao Yao went to a café at the airport to kill time.

The café at the airport is mainly for people waiting to board or pick up the plane to rest, and there are not too many people at this time. After Xiao Yao entered, he found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

After ordering a cup of coffee, Xiao Yao first took out his mobile phone to book a hotel in Vegas, and then put his mobile phone away.

When Xiao Yao came to the United States, all the things in terms of domestic work were put down. It's still early to board. Normally, at this time, Xiao Yao is playing mobile games to kill time, but this time he came to Cambridge to learn card counting, and he still had the playing cards he bought last night in order to study single card counting in the hotel room, so Xiao Yao took out the playing cards and played them in the café.

Xiao Yao was sitting in a two-person seat, the coffee table in front of him was not big, and there were people coming and going in the café, so it was inconvenient to take several pairs to put 21 points to practice card counting, Xiao Yao just planned to take advantage of this time to exercise his memory.

Xiao Yao's method of exercising his memory is also very simple. Take apart a deck of pokers, first fan them open, look at them for a while, close the cards, and then turn them over on the table one by one. Of course, before turning over, Xiao Yao was silently reciting the points and suits of the top card in the pile in his hand, and then turned it over to see if it was right.

"Hi, hello!" Xiao Yao was playing, and suddenly felt the light in front of him dim, and then a voice reached his ears.

Xiao Yao looked up and found a blonde woman wearing sunglasses standing in front of him, with a large suitcase on her right hand.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?" the blonde woman asked, seeing Xiao Yao look up, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair in front of her.

Xiao Yao sat in a position where two people sit, and the blonde woman pointed to the position opposite Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao came, there was no one there, and there was nothing next to him, it should be an empty seat, so Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Thank you!" the blonde woman smiled and sat down, placing her suitcase beside her.

After the blonde woman sat down, she beckoned the waiter to order a cup of coffee, and after the waiter left, the blonde woman looked at Xiao Yao curiously and asked, "What are you playing?"

Xiao Yao just turned the poker cards in his hand one by one and put them on the table in front of him, which looked different from all poker games on the surface, so the blonde woman would inevitably be curious when she saw it.

"You can't say that you're counting cards and training your memory, right?" Xiao Yao thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "Divination!"

"Really?" the blonde woman seemed to be more interested, leaned forward, leaned over to Xiao Yao's side, and asked, "Are you a soothsayer? What are you doing divination? Can you help others with divination?"

"Can't!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head.

"Oh," the blonde woman said disappointedly, and then asked, "where is this divination? Looking at you, it seems that you are Asian? Chinese, Japanese, Thai, I heard that Thai witchcraft is very powerful?"

"No, I'm from Huaxia!" Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly.

"So this is a Chinese divination?" said the blonde woman, "why can't you give divination to others?"

"No, this is the divination technique of gypsies," Xiao Yao thought quickly in his mind for a while, and said, "I just learned it from a friend, and I am not very proficient, so I don't dare to give divination to others casually!"
