When Wu Wei asked Robert about the secret of winning money in the casino, Robert's words shocked Wu Wei, and he never dreamed that the casino did not rely on "gambling" to win money. Perhaps this question is a question that the vast majority of gamblers will never understand.

"Casinos don't rely on 'gambling' to make money, what do they rely on?" asked Robert, puzzled.

"Rely on science, rely on mathematics, and to put it more clearly, you rely on detailed and strict gambling rules to make money, and the secret of the casino lies in the yield advantage. Therefore, the principle of designing gambling rules is usually to make the casino's win rate slightly greater than 50%, which is reflected in the advantage expressed by the rate of return is a figure slightly greater than zero. ”

"Can you elaborate on that, I really want to understand the secret. Wuwei couldn't wait to ask Robert, who obviously didn't understand what Robert meant.

"In fact, the secret in the casino is not a secret at all, and if it is broken, it simply makes many people not believe it. Because when it comes to money, humans complicate it, as if making money is a very unfathomable thing. Gambling, in particular, is banned in many places, especially in China, which adds to the mystery of the casino. Let people have a reverie. ”

Wuwei said with deep feelings: "You are right, I felt the same way before I came abroad, I always felt that the casino was mysterious and full of awe, and when I came to Las Vegas, I found that it was not what I imagined at all." The casino here is an entertainment venue that is open to the general public, not unlike a movie theater. ”

"Gambling is illegal in China, the impression of the Chinese people on the casino almost all comes from film and television, some clips about the casino in the TV are not the regular casino in the modern sense at all, the regular casino under the modern management system, all the ugly things in the society can not be seen at all, the casino is not hateful but friendly and amiable, and the scene we imagine is in great contrast.

Like other industries that provide services, casinos regard gamblers as their own gods, and attract gamblers with high-quality services, in real casinos, in addition to gambling rules, others are very fair, and when gamblers and casinos have disputes, casino personnel often make judgments in favor of gamblers. In any country with poor security, it can be said that the casino is the safest place to be. Even if you don't have any money, as long as you have money, the casino guarantees to provide you with a safe gambling environment and no one will bother you. Gamblers don't have to worry about anything other than gambling. In the case of winnings, there is no need to worry about what problems will be on the casino side. ”

"It's true, the casino here is arguably the best place in terms of environment, service, and equipment in a public place I've ever seen. Moreover, the people who entered the casino were also polite, all of them looked like gentlemen, and no one was allowed to enter the casino in disheveled clothes. Wu Wei agrees with Robert.

"People's sense of mystery about the casino also comes from" gambling films", in these films gambling is a kind of exquisite technology, gambling kings, gamblers, gambling fairies bold and magnificent image makes many people envious, gambling gods, gambling saints dazzling card skills undoubtedly confirm and deepen the mystery of gambling in people's minds. I have been in the casino for more than three years, and I can say that I know a lot about any kind of gambling game, and some of the dealers I know have been in the casino for more than ten years, and the poker skills are even more exquisite than the gambling kings in the movie, but none of them rely on gambling to make money, at most it is a pastime. ”

"By the way you say it goes, no one can beat the casino, and no one can win money from the casino?" asked Robert unconvinced.

"Of course not, if that's the case, wouldn't all the casinos be closed? People who know the secrets of the casinos can make money from the casinos, such as professional gamblers, who live from the casinos.

I don't think gambling is a bad thing, because I live from casinos. The casino owner is an ordinary person, and the casino staff is also an ordinary person, in order to win the gambler's money, the casino owner does not need to invite the gambling god to work for him, only a well-designed gambling rule is enough.

The secret of the casino lies in the yield advantage, which is generally only a weak 0.6%, which is insignificant in the eyes of players, and can even be ignored, in fact, it is by virtue of this insignificant 0.006 to support the world's four major casinos and tens of thousands of casinos. Not many gamblers may be able to believe this truth, but it is true!"

"It's incredible, I've never thought about it, I've always thought I knew a lot about gambling, but I didn't look into it deeply. Robert's words caused Wuwei to think deeply, as if he saw something behind the gambling.

"But you're lucky, because you know card counting, most of the gamblers are ordinary people, and using the little advantage you have to win the casino is exactly one thing that ordinary people can do. Although the yield of card counting is not as high as that of the dealer in other games, it is the only way to beat the casino. ”

Hearing this, Wuwei suddenly asked Robert, "Robert, can I ask you a question?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Do you know how to count cards?"

"Knows a little, but not very proficient. Robert confessed.
