preface

★☆★

A long time ago, I wanted to write a book about exposing the dark side of gambling, using my own experience to warn those who are addicted to gambling, but for many reasons, I have never been able to do so. There are two main reasons: one is that I have contracted the bad habit of gambling, although I changed careers four times, but each time I changed careers, I lost all my net worth shortly after, and as a result, I had to return to the industry, and the plan to write a book was shelved many times. The other is friendship, I have been immersed in this circle for a long time, and I know a lot of peers, some of whom are very good friends, and I feel that writing these things will affect their livelihood to some extent, so it has been difficult to make up my mind to write, but the idea of writing a book is hovering in my mind and has not disappeared. Because I'm really tired of this kind of life that doesn't fit my personality, I really want to quit the industry and do something meaningful.

In October 2008, I went to a certain province to participate in a large-scale anti-gambling warning activity, and I was not invited to this activity because my profession did not allow me to show my face, and I did not know any organizers of various anti-gambling public welfare activities, so the people of the organizing committee would not know me. The organizing committee of this event invited an ordinary friend of mine who often appears in the media, but he didn't dare to go up due to his own technical limitations, so he asked another very good friend of mine to accompany him up, and this good friend of mine didn't dare to go up for various reasons, so he pulled me to accompany them up. I didn't go on TV at that event because I hadn't really quit the ranks of the old guys, I just didn't do much work. At this event, I met some friends in the media and briefly mentioned my experience and the idea of writing a book that exposed the dark side of gambling.

Shortly after I returned to my city after attending the event, I received a message from them who encouraged me to write this book and do something good for society to serve as a warning to those who were still addicted to gambling. At this time, the desire that had been buried in my heart for more than ten years could no longer be suppressed, so I made up my mind to put it into action. After many times of communication with some good peers and friends, I obtained the understanding of some of them, and started writing in the second half of 2009.

Man is a complex animal, and I hate people who cheat and cheat the most, but I just do it myself to cheat gamblers. I hate violence, but I have had to use it many times to solve problems. Both of these things contradicted my personality, so for more than 20 years, I felt very tired from life, and from time to time I had a sense of guilt tormenting me. Of course, there were brief moments of happiness during this period.

Over the years, I have seen countless gamblers who have lost their families and separated their wives due to gambling, and a considerable part of these tragedies are caused by being cheated by thousands of people while gambling. There are millions of gamblers in the gambling hall, but how does Lao Qian operate these thousands of games that cause great harm to gamblers?

The so-called thousand arts in the casino, although there are many divisions of labor, such as leading the bureau, lending, collecting loans, trust, front desk, backstage, red face, white face, literature, martial arts, etc., but generally only divide it into two parts, one is technology, one is the bureau, people who do not know much about thousands of techniques, often think that technology is a thousand techniques, thousands of techniques are technology, or think that technology is the protagonist of a thousand arts, and the others are irrelevant, these are a misunderstanding of thousands of arts.

In fact, the most lethal part of Qianshu is the operation behind it, that is to say, it is the operation behind Qianju that really takes your life in Qianji, and technology is only second. Because technology is dead, it is martial arts, you can understand it if you understand it, you don't understand it, if you don't understand it, it can definitely be used under your nose, as for the degree of its lethality, it depends on the wisdom of the user. Human wisdom is alive, it belongs to literature, and technology needs wisdom to exert its maximum effectiveness. For a long time, Dingjiangshan has relied on "literature", and "martial arts" is just an indispensable weapon for Dingjiangshan, and Qianju is no exception. Using the same technology, the same object, to engage in high-end Lao Qian, can not only make this thousand objects hurt their muscles and bones, but also make this thousands of objects bankrupt. And the low-end old man, at best, just won the money on hand of this object and made him suffer a little injury, which is the difference in the level of operation behind it.

Lao Qian's industry is an extremely complex industry, which has both a very safe high-end thousand games, a relatively safe friend bureau, and a very risky miscellaneous game. Lao Qian is designed by others and also designed by others, and the dragons and snakes in the circle are mixed, and righteousness and treachery are confused in it, how complicated is what happens inside? People's imagination is endless, but at present, the so-called thousand tricks, gambling kings, and card kings who have sharpened their heads and written by imagination in various media cannot reflect the so-called thousand tricks and thousands of game revelations, and those movies and television about "gambling thousands" written in Hong Kong. So far, no one in the world has revealed the inside story of Lao Qian's profession relatively completely, to put it mildly, not even a little bit of skin has been disclosed, the reason is that there are too many obstructive factors, and one of the main factors is that very few people can fully get involved in all aspects of the Qianshu circle. Go to the high-end thousands of games, pay attention to the layout, pay attention to how to transfer gamblers to their set occasions to kill, such a thousand games because the object, the environment has been carefully selected and arranged, so the technical requirements are not too high, for this kind of thousands of games of the old thousands of technology is ranked second. This kind of old man does not do things in the end of the game, and the number of times he does things is relatively small, so he has few opportunities to meet the master (referring to the technical aspect), and he is not very proficient in technical things, and he cannot improve his skills through a lot of practice. The old Qian, who went to the low-end to break up, naturally did not understand the operation of the high-end thousand games because he had not participated in the operation of the high-end thousand games. Courage, image, character, technology and other factors are all blocking the full involvement of Lao Qian. I don't have the courage to compete with the other party, I naturally don't understand the things in the competition, I don't dare to go through the state and province to do things, and I can't understand the differences between thousands of bureaus in various places. If the image is poor, it is difficult to enter the high-end thousand games, how many rich people are willing to gamble with people who look like thieves? He is not honest and righteous enough, and others are unwilling to teach him skills, and the skills are not high, so naturally not many people invite him to do things, and he will naturally have less experience and less knowledge. Therefore, it is rare to be able to get involved in every aspect of the Thousand Techniques and have excellent performance.

Due to the existence of reality, many thousands of rounds are not allowed to be exposed. I was really annoyed by this question for a long time during the writing process, after all, deleting too much inside information will have a great impact on the readability of the book, but the current state can only be like this. I can say responsibly that I write about 40 articles, which is technically less than 1 percent, and only about 10 percent in layout, and the rest can only be written when the opportunity is ripe. Even if it is less than one percent and about ten percent, I am confident that no one can surpass a book about exposing the inside story of gambling, and I can even publish my follow-up writing table of contents and content prompts, and I am not afraid of those who will blow up in various media at every turn: "I can win whoever I want, I can get whatever card I want, and I can win the other party with one hand...... But even how to win, why to win, and how to deal with all aspects of constraints, but without mentioning or mentioning a lot of logical nonsense, the so-called "Thousand Masters", "Gambling King", "Thousand Kings", and "Card King" are used to create.

At first, I wanted to focus on describing other Qianqian's thousands of dollars in casinos and gambling games, but this kind of description can only let the reader know the situation of the thousands of people on the gambling table, but it can't let the readers know how the thousands work. This kind of writing focuses on the use of Qianshu on the table, so that the reader feels that Qianshu is very suspenseful when reading, giving people a feeling of truth and falsehood, as if it will not appear around him, and the reader will not take it too seriously after reading it, which does not achieve great educational significance. In view of this, I intend to expose the operation of the old thousands of tables and the operation behind the scenes, focusing on the operation behind the scenes, but I have not participated in the operation behind the others, although I speculate on the operation behind them based on experience, I should be able to guess a rough idea, but speculation is speculation after all, the authenticity is not necessarily reliable, it may be speculated 978% accuracy, or it is possible to only speculate 50% or 60% accuracy, I feel that the authenticity of these speculated things plus what I see on the table will be greatly reduced, and I can't be in the casinoAll the materials I needed in the gambling game could not achieve my purpose of writing this book, so I had to dispel the idea of writing with other people as the main line.

I wrote this book to let people who are addicted to gambling know that thousands of games do exist in various games and can happen to them at any time, so as to serve as a warning to gamblers to leave the table, so that those who do not gamble dare not enter the table. In order to achieve this purpose, I decided to write about the people I know as the main line, and in order to make readers have a better understanding of the trick of a thousand tricks, I plan to expose all aspects of the Thousand Bureaus, focusing on the various causal relationships in the implementation of the Thousand Bureaus. The reason why I wrote this way is to let everyone have a clearer understanding of the whole operation process of Qianji, if the reader can understand the harm and risk of gambling, and stay away from gambling from now on, my goal will be achieved. I didn't talk too much about anti-gambling in the book, to be honest, let me think about those words that educate people, I can't think of a few words, to be able to expose the scam, it has proved my anti-gambling determination, which is more real than talking about more empty anti-gambling words.

Not only is there a myriad of pitfalls in gambling, but it is also a very harmful thing in itself, and I know this very well. Over the years, I have won hundreds of millions of dollars and distributed hundreds of millions of dollars, but due to my addiction to gambling, all this money has been thrown to the casino, and I also know that it is very difficult to quit gambling addiction. But gambling is so harmful, don't you quit it?

In the Chengdu 6.5 bus arson case that killed 27 people, the arson suspect Zhang Yunliang was addicted to gambling before his death, and it is said that he lost too much gambling and made extreme acts of revenge against society due to psychological distortion. In a hostage-taking incident in a city in Guangdong, the criminals demanded a ransom of 30,000 yuan before they were willing to release the hostages, and they were shot dead by the police after six hours of confrontation. According to the news, the perpetrator also embarked on the desperate road of kidnapping and ransom because he often participated in gambling and lost all his wealth. There was a town-level cadre in the province where I lived, who lost more than 100 million yuan in more than a year, and later embezzled nearly 100 million yuan of embezzled public funds to pay off gambling debts, and finally ended up in prison. Officials, CEOs of state-owned enterprises, and company finances who lose money due to gambling, embezzle public funds to pay off gambling debts, and finally go to prison after the incident, are also seen in the media from time to time. As for those who have lost all their net worth, have to wander abroad, and lose the enterprises they have worked so hard to build, there are too many incidents, and there are also many gamblers who have embarked on the road of stealing, robbing, cheating, and killing because of gambling.

There were two incidents caused by gambling in the media for two consecutive days, one was a business owner in Guangxi, who lost more than one million yuan due to gambling, and committed suicide by jumping into the river in desperation. The other case was an old lady who was addicted to gambling, kidnapped her grandson after losing money, and demanded that the child's parents pay a ransom of 300,000 yuan within five hours, otherwise they would poison the child. The child's mother, Yang, never expected that this vicious sentence would come from her biological mother. Regarding these two things, ordinary people's follow-ups are much more powerful than my preaching, and I would like to excerpt two items for readers: 1. Gambling and drugs are the root of all evil, and even a good person will become a devil. 2. Gambling kills people! Gambling can make a person lose his humanity, and even his own grandchildren will be kidnapped, and everyone is advised to stay away from gambling.

I met a woman whose ex-husband was very rich, and before the divorce, he often played mahjong and gambled cards with a group of rich wives, and later divorced, and her husband left her a factory, a few houses and tens of millions of cash. This woman suddenly has tens of millions of cash at her disposal, and she has no intention of taking care of the factory, and often goes to the underground casino to gamble money, and in less than a year, tens of millions of cash, factories, and houses have all been lost, and the money lost has been lost by gambling and by thousands of people. I saw her when I was working in a casino, I worked in that casino for three days, and I saw her gambling on the field for three days, but the bet was very small, 100 or 300 bets, and she lost two or three thousand yuan and had no money, so I looked around to find acquaintances to borrow, and I didn't see a few people willing to lend her money. I saw her looking rich and noble, holding a LV bag, looking like a rich person, but it was a bit strange to see her have a lot of money to gamble. After leaving, I asked my friend who led the bureau, what is this woman doing? My friend told me about her situation, and his words revealed that it was a pity that she was slaughtered by others, and if we caught her, we would get rich.

I have seen many gamblers like this who have fallen from heaven to hell for gambling, both men and women, young and old. There are basically only two types of people who can make money in the gambling field, one is the person who opens the casino, and the other is the old man. Gambling relies on luck to win less than half of the chance, coupled with nine out of ten cheats, gamblers want to win in the casino is sad. Gambling has always been a game of hell and no paradise, and I sincerely hope that those who do not gamble will never gamble, and those who are addicted to gambling can quit it as soon as possible.

My original intention was to write a book exposing gambling fraud, but in this extremely dark corner, it is full of deception, some of which involve violence, such as the game within the game, black eats black, etc., and it may be difficult for readers to understand why I dare to fight back, so I have to write some of my previous experiences to pave the way for these chapters, so that the book becomes a simple summary of my own life. The road I have taken is, after all, a deformed road, and the description in the book is also described from my point of view and position, of course, there are many mistakes in it, and I hope that readers can look at it from a dialectical and critical perspective.

The content of this book is mainly to expose the dark aspects of gambling, and the plot in the book is mainly described around this purpose, so the book does not fully reflect a real me, in addition to the thousands, my life is also the same as ordinary people, and my character is not as strong as written in the book. In reality, I also have a weak side, it is easy to be emotional and sentimental, watching TV and movies and seeing the emotional part, I often cry, and when I see those scenes with a little sadness, I often fall into it and can't extricate myself. Like the scene when the Olympic flame was extinguished in 2008, I watched it more than 500 times, and I would keep watching it whenever I had time. The sad scenes such as Kyoko Hachibin throwing a straw hat in the Japanese movie "Human Witness", Ewen Lin greeting Leif at the airport at the end of the movie "Pearl Harbor", and Danny returning all touched my heart deeply, because these scenes are especially easy to recall my friendship.

I like to turn on a small volume in the dead of night, listen to my favorite music, the music at this time is particularly clear, beautiful, with the music of their own past will often come to mind, it seems to have just happened yesterday, and it seems to be very far away, the love, hate, affection, hatred, always let me have a sense of sadness that I can't let go, often can't help but cry, "Jianghu" left me such a world that can not be let go.

When I was writing, I once again regretted that I didn't read a good book, there were many things that I wanted to say in my heart, but I couldn't express them in words, the things in the event, those that should be written should be omitted, and I couldn't grasp it accurately, if I could improve my writing level in the future, I would improve it.

Here, I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Wang Zehui from Changsha, Hunan Province, whose encouragement is inseparable from the fact that I was able to write this book. There was also editor Wang of a publishing house in Beijing, who gave me a big hint in the chapter "Adventures in Foreign Casinos" that I wrote. Since I have never written a novel, I don't know where the focus is when I write, I don't know what should be thick in the events, and what should be discussed, so I didn't write a lot of things, the original first draft only condensed a lot of things into my explanation, and the process of doing things, the dialogue and psychology of the characters are very little described.

Finally, I wish those readers who are still addicted to gambling can realize the harm of gambling as soon as possible, abandon the illusion of making a fortune from gambling, and return to the normal track of life. Here, I wish them success in their careers and a happy family.
