Chapter 19 The Man Who Is Destined
After stopping the car, the two got out of the car, walked to the entrance of the corridor, and were just about to walk inside, when suddenly a person came out of the corridor, and Wuwei looked up to see that the person who came out was Robert, the dealer in the casino.
Robert apparently saw both of them as well, and greeted them in surprise, "Hey, why is it you guys?
"Hello, Robert, I saw an apartment for rent, so I accompanied Brother Wuwei to take a look, do you also live here?" Yan Yan asked happily
"Yes, I live downstairs and the apartment upstairs seems to be for rent. ”
"Great, let's go up and take a look, you live so close, you can be companions in the future." Yan Yan said excitedly.
Robert suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Wuwei: "Are you going to live by yourself?"
"yes, just me. Wuwei nodded and said.
"These apartments are more than 180 square meters in size, there are two master bedrooms, with a separate bathroom, one person is too big, I have always wanted to find a suitable person to share, I don't know if you agree or not? ”
"Of course I can, I'm willing to be lively, it's too deserted to live in such a big room alone, I can't ask for it to live with friends, I can pay all the rent alone. Wuwei said happily.
"Haha, that's not necessary, we'll rent half of each of us, I'll show you first. As he spoke, Robert took out his key, opened the door, and led the two into the apartment.
Large living room with embroidered carpet in the middle, leather sofa not new but very comfortable, very well equipped with appliances and everything you need.
The interior furnishings are very neat and orderly, and very tidy, not at all like a single man's room, it can be seen that Robert is a very clean person, and his life is very rigorous and regular.
Robert led Wuwei to look at the bedroom, and then went to several other rooms to take a look, and introduced to Wuwei while looking: "I rarely come in these rooms, and I basically read books and surf the Internet in the study after getting off work from the casino." Especially the kitchen, which I haven't used since I moved in, because it's okay to have a quick snack on my own, and I can't do anything myself. ”
"Very nice and suitable, I'll move here tomorrow, to be honest I don't want to stay in a hotel, cold and not a little cozy. There is an old saying in China, 'a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel'. Wuwei said happily that he felt that he was very close to Robert, and he didn't expect to make a good friend again.
"Robert, weren't you going out just now, are you going to work?" Yang Yan suddenly asked Robert.
"Oh, I'm on the evening shift today, and there are still two or three hours before work, and I want to go out to buy a few books to read in advance when I'm idle at home, and I just happened to meet you, it seems that we are all really fateful. Robert said with a smile.
"Then let's go out for dinner together, it can be regarded as a celebration of the two of you living together, and you go to work after dinner, what do you think?" Yang Yan looked at the two men and asked for their opinions.
Wuwei said excitedly: "Okay, I'm sitting in the East! After arriving in the United States, I met you two good friends, and I really thank you." ”
"Yes, but you can't drink before going to work, and I'll have a good drink with you when I'm on vacation in two days. Robert said briskly.
"Then we'll have a light meal, I drank quite a bit last night, and to be honest I don't want to drink anymore now. Yang Yan got up as he spoke, ready to walk out.
Robert took out a key to the door and handed it to Wuwei: "This is the key to the room, if I can't come back tomorrow morning, you can move it by yourself." ”
Wuwei took the key, and the three of them went out of the apartment together.
"Is there a Chinese restaurant nearby, I've really had enough of the Western-style buffet, and I want to eat a bite of authentic fish-flavored shredded pork and spicy chicken now. "After Wu Wei came to the casino, he basically ate the free buffet provided by the casino, and the tasteless things really made him eat his appetite.
Yang Yan smiled and said to Wuwei: "To exaggerate, as long as there are people, there are restaurants opened by our Chinese, this wish of yours is too well satisfied, I will take you to an authentic Sichuan restaurant, I like to eat boiled fish there." ”
As he spoke, Yang Yan and Wuwei got into the car, and Robert drove behind him.
After leaving the community, Wuwei suddenly remembered something, and he asked Yang Yan: "Yanyan, do you have time tomorrow?"
"Of course, what's the matter with you?"
"I want to get a driver's license first, and it's a hassle to not have a driver's license in the United States. ”
"You don't have a green card yet, do you? You have to get a green card to get a driver's license. ”
"Why is it so troublesome? It seems that it will not be easy to handle for a while. ”
"It's okay, leave it to me, I'll find a way to get you a green card as soon as possible. Yang Yan said lightly.
"Really? Thank you so much. Wuwei said excitedly.
"Don't say thank you in the future, you don't bother me, I don't like it. ”
"Hehe, I'll never say thank you again from now on. ”
Sometimes it's hard to say thank you to someone, but sometimes it's even harder not to say these two words, and it is only after doing nothing that I realize this.
Wu Wei moved to the apartment the next day to live with Robert, and after a few days of socializing and chatting with him, Wu Wei got to know Robert in depth. He is truly grateful to Lady Luck for her kindness, as Robert, who works in casinos, has given him a further understanding of gambling and a scientific understanding of gambling games.
Robert, a twenty-eight-year-old medical master's student, fled the hospital where he worked and wandered around because of an accidental medical accident that left him with the courage to pick up a scalpel, and finally hid in Las Vegas to become a dealer. This made Wuwei understand why Robert loved cleanliness so much, and his life was very organized, he knew that most doctors had a habit of cleanliness, and their lives were strict and regular.
Robert's life is very simple, in addition to going to work in the casino is to read books at home and surf the Internet, he reads very miscellaneous books, involving a wide range of aspects, and Robert also has a lot of insights into gambling, and has conducted in-depth research on various gambling games in the casino, Robert uses the computer to analyze and explore various gambling games, but he never goes to the casino to play.
Wuwei asked Robert curiously: "Since you don't go to the casino to play, why do you still devote yourself to studying gambling games?"
"The reason I like to study gambling is to see if there is a way to beat the casino. Robert said seriously.
"Did you find it?" asked Wuwei with great interest.
"No, the casino is very scientific in setting up each kind of gambling game, and the rules of the gambling game are also very thorough and meticulous, making it difficult for gamblers to find flaws. After more than a year of careful research, I have come to a conclusion that 'if you gamble for a long time, you will lose'. ”
"Why do you say 'you will lose if you gamble for a long time', can you elaborate on that?" asked Robert curiously, Wuwei's goal was to defeat the casino, and it was obvious that Robert's research results were very unfavorable to him.
"Do you know why you won so much money in the casino, and the casino still treats you like a god? Offering you a luxurious suite for free, and letting you eat and drink in the hotel without spending a penny of your own money?" Robert asked Wuwei.
"Definitely want me to gamble with them anymore. Wuwei said with a smile.
"Yes, they do this with one purpose, to keep you gambling at the casino, and unless you stop and don't set foot in the casino again, you're going to have to pay back your winnings to the casino sooner or later. But getting someone like you to stop going to a casino can be harder than climbing to the sky, because human physiology dictates this. ”
"That's true, it's better to kill me if I don't go to the casino anymore, I came here from China to gamble, I can skip food, it's hard to stop gambling. Wuwei couldn't help but interrupt Robert's words, he felt that Robert's words were in his heart.
"Haha......" Wuwei's words made Robert couldn't help but laugh, "You, like most Chinese, are most welcome in casinos like you." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Because among people in all countries in the world, the Chinese are famous for their good gambling, and all casinos are trying their best to attract Chinese to gamble, and make our Chinese money as a development strategy, why is this happening? Because Chinese are very rich? No, it is because most Chinese are good gamblers, gamblers, gamble on face and gamble vanity, and are gambling blind who do not know how to gamble and do not know how to gamble. But you're different from them at this point, and I can see that you know a thing or two about betting, because when you play blackjack, you're very similar to a pro player, and you're counting cards. ”
"Robert, to tell you the truth, I came to Las Vegas to become the world gambling king, although I am only twenty-one years old, but from the first time I won a dollar on the roadside gambling stall, it has been almost ten years to today, I am confident that I am a genius in gambling, any gambling game I look at at eight or nine is not far from ten, so I win more and lose less. But when I arrived at Las Vegas, I felt like I was walking on thin ice, as if I would accidentally fall into an ice hole and drown. The big casinos here are so luxurious, and all kinds of gambling games are very open and fair, unlike in China, where people who gamble only rely on thousands of dollars to win money. I just can't figure out why the more fair the casino, the more profitable, what are their secrets?"
Robert thought for a moment and said to Wuwei very seriously: "You may never think that casinos don't rely on 'gambling' to make money, and real 'gambling' doesn't exist in casinos. A place where gambling all the time, but there is no real sense of 'gambling', which is what the vast majority of people who 'gamble' in casinos do not expect. ”
