Chapter 341: The Mantra for Winning Cards
"Ahh Dude, I love you. Lee Jung-un couldn't hold back his excitement, hugged Lee Zhengyan and shouted!
At this time, attracted by Li Zhengyan's surprised voice, the staff of Xia Guo looked at the chips in front of Li Zhengyan and collectively showed an excited expression.
Xie Zhengkui came to Li Zhengyan's side even more excitedly, looked at Li Zhengyan and said, "Oh my God... Zhengyan, you are the god of gambling, why didn't you call me just now, I will follow you. ”
"yes... Li Zhengyan's words made his staff excited!
However, Li Zhengyan stood up at this time, did not continue to bet, but looked at the casino's monitoring and made a slightly sorry gesture.
Xie Zhengkui and the others didn't know what Li Zhengyan meant by doing this, but at this time, the man who saw this monitoring smiled slightly and said: "Forget it, this person may just come to earn a passage fee or something, not to smash the field, he stopped as soon as he saw someone with him, he already gave us face, don't bother this one, but also protect the safety of this one, he gave us face, and we have to give him face." ”
"Got it, Boss, but... Is this the card counter you are talking about?"
"Yes, he's a card counter, and he's a very good one. ”
"Wow... This Asian is so powerful, I have tried card counting, but it is really difficult, if I didn't see it with my own eyes today, I really can't believe that there are such powerful people in this world. ”
"Of course, you, you're just too lonely and unheard, in fact, there are a lot of card tellers, but the one you see today should be one of the top 20. ”

"Here are 10,000 soles per person, Jeong-eun and the minibus, you two go and have a good time. Li Zhengyan smiled and handed the hot minibus and Lee Zhengen 10,000 soles each.
Then Li Zhengyan took out 10,000 soles from the remaining 30,000 soles to distribute dividends to other staff, so that Li Zhengyan only kept more than 20,000 soles from the original 50,000 soles in case of emergency.
In fact, giving money to Lee Jung-eun and the hot minibus sisters was actually to lose the money, and in this way to tell the surveillance personnel of this casino that they were just passing by and needed a little travel money.
Li Zhengyan is now in a variety show, so he doesn't want to cause trouble, and then Li Zhengyan didn't continue to play, although Xie Zhengkui and others on the side kept wanting Li Zhengyan to give advice, but Li Zhengyan didn't say a word.
waited for Li Zhengen and the hot minibus to lose all their 10,000 soles, Li Zhengyan took everyone out of the casino, and after leaving the D field, the manager of the D field also ran over quickly from behind, gave Li Zhengyan a bottle of wine, and said thank you Li Zhengyan for raising his noble hand.
This time, all the staff were shocked, and they looked at Li Zhengyan with a very respectful expression.
At this time, Li Zhengen on the side snatched the wine in Li Zhengyan's hand, and after seeing the brand of the wine clearly, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Wow... It's actually Cook Champagne, and this bottle is at least a thousand dollars. ”
"Thousands of dollars... Oh my God, a thousand-dollar bottle of champagne?" the hot minibus was also surprised.
Of course, the rest of the staff were also surprised.
Only Li Zhengyan took the champagne with a smile and said: "This champagne is for me as a card counter, I could have won all the way just now, but I stopped it, not only did I stop it, but I also made Zhengen and the minibus lose some money."
This is the face that this card counter gave to someone in this casino, and because the other party asked for our face, he sent a bottle of wine to thank him. ”
"Card counter...?" Li Zhengyan's words aroused the interest of Xie Zhengkui and others: "Zhengyan, can you tell us what a card counter is, and why is a card counter so powerful." ”
Looking at a group of people staring at him with expectant eyes, Li Zhengyan smiled slightly and said, "Have you seen the movie "Decisive 21 Points"?"
After Li Zhengyan finished speaking, he immediately exclaimed with the staff: "Ah... I've seen this movie, and there is a group of people who use mathematical theories to win money, are those people card counters?"
In response to that person's words, Li Zhengyan nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, in 1962, a man named Thorpe published the book "Beat the Dealer", which introduced his card counting method to the public.
This is no longer our usual turnip betting, but a mathematically based approach, because it places different bets B (i) at different win probabilities P(i), and although the sum of the total win probabilities ∑P(i) is still less than 1/2, as long as the big B(i) is played when P(i) is large, and the small B(i) is played in P(i) hours, the total return ∑R(i)P (i) is greater than ∑B(i).
"Counting 10 Methods" is more difficult to operate and requires a high level of mind and concentration. Fortunately, the wisdom of the masses is endless, and the card counters have evolved the method of card counting more and more simply and practically by following the direction specified by Thorpe (Thorpe himself faded out of the gambling world in the late 60s, entered the stock market with the large sums he won in the casinos, used his mathematical knowledge, and is now super-rich).
This was the earliest card counter, and now, the "10 Method" has evolved into the "High-Lo Method" that is easier to calculate and master. In the movie "Decisive 21 Points", they counted each 2,3,4,5,6 as +1 point, 7,8,9 as 0 points, 10, J, Q, K, A counted as -1 points, and added the points, the larger the result, the more small cards that appeared in the front, the more beneficial it was to the player. Conversely, if the result is negative, it means that there are more big cards than small cards in the previous game, which is good for the dealer.
In the clip of the movie, there is a scene where the doctor is a showdown one by one, and when he is dealt 76 cards, he asks his students what time it is, and several students can't figure it out, and the professor gets angry and says: "23 cards are high cards, minus 1, 17 cards are neutral cards, no points, low cards plus 1, how can you not count them?"
I'm going to do the math for you, 23 high cards, (10, J, Q, K, A), -23, 17 neutral cards, (7,8,9),0, the remaining 36 cards are small cards, (2,3,4,5,6), +36, then its answer is 13 points. ”
"Wow... Oh.... Li Zhengyan's words were stunned by the surrounding workers and the two sisters.
Li Zhengyan looked at everyone's stupid look, and said with a smile: "In fact, I can't win 100%, the fact is that the card count player can't calculate what cards he gets next, but is calculating what the probability of the next big card is, in fact, it is already very good, the higher the probability of calculating the next big card, the greater the hope of defeating the dealer!"
Just like I just won ten times in a row, Stanford Wang said in Blackjack Secrets that every point higher in the average adds about 0.5% to the advantage. According to him, at 0 points, the dealer has an edge of 0.5%. By 1 o'clock, the two sides were almost even. By the time the average number rises to 2, the player already has a 0.5% advantage and can raise the stakes. Then the protagonist in the film touches the "sweet" table with +16 points, and it is natural that he should place a big bet and make a lot of money.
It's just that I'm different from the movie is that the people in the movie are a group, the group members are divided into card counters and observers, and the observers are responsible for lurking with each table to calculate the points of the current table, and when they encounter a table with a high number of points, that is, more small cards in front of them, they make gestures to let the card counter come over to bet and tell him the number of points at the table through a code. Next, the card counter uses his extraordinary brain to continue to calculate the points, judge the points and the cards in his hand to estimate the chips that should be pressed, and finally play the dealer to the bottom of the line.
In fact, the real card counter is basically a person, because the target can't be too big, oh... I also have a winning mantra here, I don't know if you want to know it. ”
"Formula?"
"The mantra to win?"
Li Zhengyan's mantra once again stimulated the hearts of all the staff, if there is really a mantra that can kill all sides, it will be every man's dream.
"Tell us quickly. "The staff were excited.
Li Zhengyan laughed and said: "1) 11 points or less, you can always ask for cards, if 9 o'clock when the dealer shows the card is 3 to 6, 10 or 11 points when the dealer shows worse than himself, you can also double." 2) At 17 o'clock or more, it is always time to stop. 3) Between 12 and 16, if the dealer shows a card of 6 or less, it should stop, otherwise it should be called. The only exception to this is when a 12 against the dealer and a 23 should also hit. In addition, if you have 16 points and the dealer is 9, 10, A, or you have 15 points and the dealer is 10, you should surrender.
Remember the above three points, and even if you don't win, you will lose a little less. ”
Li Zhengyan smiled slightly after speaking, but none of the others responded at this time, because they were all silently making records!
