This is a hotel casino, the hotel seems to be a five-star named Deris, very luxurious, of course, with the current Han Shuo, Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan can not afford to live. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are many such hotel casinos in Lima, and in addition to hotel casinos, there are many other small casinos, unlike other countries, where gambling is legal in Peru and there are casinos under the general hotels.

At this time, Han Shuo was dragged into this hotel casino in Delis by Zheng Xiujing.

"Yikes... Crystal, what are you doing, why are you dragging us here, you must know that the casino can't be filmed. Being dragged into the casino by Zheng Xiujing, Han Shuo saw that the VJ behind him turned off the camera, and Han Shuo immediately reminded Zheng Xiujing.

However, Zheng Xiujing still dragged Han Shuo into the casino and said: "Close it, just close it, just this once, OPPA, fight with 100 soles, forget it if you lose, let's go to eat a big meal if we win, okay." ”

Completely speechless, what kind of person is this, his mentality is very bad, he wants to fight without saying a word, he doesn't think about it at all, if he loses, he will be hungry tomorrow, I really don't know who this character is like, Li Suzhen is not like this.

And just after Han Shuo finished thinking about it, he heard Zheng Xiuyan over there smile and said, "Xiao Shuo, let's go in, anyway, I also want to see the casinos in Lima, maybe we can win a lot of money, hehe..." ”

Looking back at Zheng Xiuyan, who suddenly smirked, Han Shuo finally knew who this guy Crystal looked like, these two sisters were exactly the same, they were both thinking about getting rich.

Well... Even though both of them wanted to go in, Han Shuo also looked back at Luo Yingshi, only to see Luo Yingshi nodding to Han Shuo with a smile, meaning that he could go in, but what Han Shuo didn't expect, in fact, in addition to Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan, other Korean staff, especially boys, also wanted to go in.

Just after Han Shuo went in to change a 100 sol chip, following Han Shuo, many staff members, including Luo Yingshi, also changed some chips and prepared to go in and play.

Han Shuo was speechless, he wanted to play, but fortunately he came in, otherwise, this group of people would be uncomfortable.

......................................

Walking into the casino of this five-star hotel, the interior is still very atmospheric and luxurious, with a total of two restaurants and 200 card games, 500 slot machines, as well as bars and entertainment venues, this casino should be the best in Lima.

After Han Shuo walked in with the 100 sols of chips, the noisy atmosphere inside first made Han Shuo frown, Han Shuo didn't like noisy places, but Han Shuo didn't like it, but the others showed excited expressions.

Luo Yingshi immediately walked to Han Shuo's side and said with a smile: "Okay, we're separated, I hope you can win some travel expenses, we'll wait at the door in an hour, got it?" ”

Nodding, Han Shuo looked at Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan, who also wanted to leave with Luo Yingshi, and said, "You have to be by my side." ”

"Huh...?" The two girls were obviously unhappy, because by following other people's side, they might be able to get one or two chips to play, but with Han Shuo, there was really no play, Han Shuo was only 100 soles, and there was also a female writer by his side, who was Han Shuo's exclusive writer, who liked Han Shuo very much and followed Han Shuo all the time.

If there was no writer, Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan could still ask Han Shuo to get some money out of the card, but there was a staff member who followed, what money did they take, and Han Shuo, who only had 100 soles, had no future at all, and finally came in, and they didn't even have a chance to try their luck.

So Han Shuo's words to let Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan stay by his side made Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan show bitter expressions, which made the female writer laugh.

"WinnerWinner, Chickendinner" is an ancient adage that circulates in the casino city of Darth Vegas, almost every former casino owner knows this sentence, it is said that its inventor is a dragon dealer of Pingnon Casino, every time he deals cards for 21 o'clock he has to shout this sentence, 50 years later, it is still popular in the world's major casinos, so here Han Shuo has heard it at least 14 times now.

In this casino, the more popular gambling methods are: slot machines, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, etc.... If it is a dragon country, there are generally games such as Sic Bo, Pai Gow, and Fan Tan.

Because it is a five-star hotel and casino, free meals are provided here, which makes the three Han Shuo siblings, who don't have much money, now each have a glass of freshly squeezed juice in their hands.

At this time, Han Shuo told Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan some rules of big casinos very seriously, what to ask for cards and what not to have a clear gesture. Ordering the table means yes, waving your hand means not. There are also chips of the same amount to be stacked together when betting, and the most important thing is that if a stranger accosted you, don't pay attention to it, it's a loan shark, don't mess with them.

"Yikes... Won. Just when Han Shuo, Zheng Xiujing, Zheng Xiuyan and the female writer introduced some rules, suddenly, a Korean shout came from the front.

When Zheng Xiujing looked forward, Zheng Xiujing immediately said in surprise: "Oh Mo... It's our human voice, oh my God, it looks like it's won, OPPA, I'm going to check it out. After saying that, he ran over.

Han Shuo was helpless, so he had to follow, and after walking there, Han Shuo found out that it was a staff member who had won roulette and won about 10 million won.

Because they won the money, they were sending some happy money to their colleagues, and when they saw that there was happy money, Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan immediately stretched out their little hands with a smile, but what made Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan speechless was that at this time, Luo Yingshi didn't know where to come out, and then hit Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan's little hands twice and said: "Anyone can give it, but you two can't have it." ”

Then he smiled evilly and said to the staff member who won the money: "That's it, I took their money on my behalf, and I just lost tens of thousands, let me fight again." '

"Luo PD, how can you do this?"

"yes, I really didn't find out, Luo PD, you are such a person?"

Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan were completely speechless.

"Haha... Let's go. Luo Yingshi, who took the money, didn't care about the Zheng sisters' little grievances at all, but took the money and flashed, and the angry Zheng sisters all pouted, and then looked at Han Shuo, however, Han Shuo couldn't help it, the other party was the chief PD, so Han Shuo could only shrug helplessly.

Han Shuo's powerlessness made the Zheng family sisters even more angry.

..................................

Looking at the staff fighting in the casino, the Zheng family sisters could only show envious expressions, and then the two looked at Han Shuo and asked, "OPPA (Xiao Shuo) What are we playing?" ”

According to Zheng Xiujing's meaning, it is to play roulette like the staff member just now, roulette is a fascinating and very exciting game. It consists of a roulette wheel, an ivory ball and a gaming table. The wheel rotates around the center of the reels and is divided into 38 (American wheel) slender channels. The 36 channels are numbered 1 to 36, half red and half black. The other two green channels are marked 0 and 00, respectively. (Note: French Roulette has only one 0) players can buy a single number or a combination of numbers on the table, when all players bet, the dealer will release a small ball, and finally stop at that number slot that number is the final result.

0 and 00 points are all killed, that is, buying colors, odd and even, individual numbers, etc., are all lost, unless you buy 0 or 00, of course, this probability is very small, but Zheng Xiujing just wants to fight.

This made Han Shuo very speechless, he must not let this little guy gamble money, it was too tricky.

Zheng Xiuyan wants to play baccarat, using 3~8 decks, each deck of 52 cards, shuffled together, placed in the card box, and distributed by the dealer. Each player will strive to have two or three cards in their hand with a total value of 9 or close to 9, with King, Queen, Jack and 10 all counted as 0, and the other cards counted as faced. When calculating, the value of the cards in each hand is added, but only the last digit is counted. The dealer who pays the most on the spot is the banker.

It's just a pity that 100 Sol people don't take you to play!

Just when Zheng Xiuyan and Zheng Xiujing insisted on playing the casino game they wanted to play, Han Shuo walked to the table at 21 o'clock!

.........................................

Chapter 630 21 and card counter

21 o'clock is the casino game that Han Shuo chooses to play, many people know 21 o'clock and have played it, but the 21 o'clock rule of the casino, absolutely you don't know.

First of all, we all know that 1, the game is played by the player and the dealer (i.e. the dealer of the casino) to see who has a value closer to 21. However, if it exceeds 21 points, it is called "bursting" and is considered a loss. Among them, the face cards (J, Q, K) are all counted as 10 points, and Ace can be counted as 1 point or 11 points, depending on which situation is more favorable. There are no comparisons between players.

2. At the beginning of the game, all players and the dealer each take two cards, in general, it is the player's two cards face up, the dealer has one card face up, and one card face down.

3, the value of the two cards, must be between 2 and 21 points. 21 can only be a 10 (including J, Q, K, the same below) and an ace, this is called "BlackJack, hereinafter referred to as BJ", unless the dealer also gets BJ, otherwise win one and a half times the bet.

This is the most basic, and in more detail later, players have the following choices in the game:

(1) Hit until he (or she, the same below) thinks his or her hand is close enough to 21. For example, the cards in hand are 4 and 5, which add up to 9 points, then no matter what card is added, it will not burst, of course, it should be a card. (2) suspension, that is, no longer to cards, such as 10 and 9 in hand, already very close to 21 points, no need to ask for cards. (3) Double, that is, double the bet, and then ask for only one card. For example, if you have a 4 and a 7 in hand, it is definitely safe to ask for cards, and it is likely to get 10 or other cards with a higher value, one is enough, and it is worth doubling. This can only be used when you have just dealt two cards, and cannot be doubled after checking.

(4) Splitting, that is, when you get two cards with the same number, you can add a bet, divide the cards into two parts, such as two 8s on hand, add up to 16, very bad points, then you should divide the cards into two 8s, and then ask for two cards, it is likely to get 10 to form 18 points, and turn the bad cards into good cards. (5) Insurance, that is, when the dealer shows the card is A, because he has a high chance of getting BJ, the player can bet half of the insurance. If the dealer doesn't get the BJ, the insurance money loses, and if the dealer gets the BJ, the player is paid twice the insurance money. Many players will bet half of the insurance to ensure that they can win back double the bet, because if the dealer does not have BJ, then he can win one and a half times the bet, remove the half insurance that he lost, and win double the bet; If the dealer has BJ, they will tie, but the insurance will double the bet. (6) Surrender, at which point only half of the bet is lost. If your cards are 10 and 6, and the dealer shows an ace, it is better to surrender as soon as possible.

5. When the dealer has a card in hand is A, he will ask everyone if he wants insurance, and then check whether his card is BJ. If the card in hand is 10, it will also check whether it is BJ, but then the player will not be able to buy insurance.

6. If the player wants the card to burst, it is considered a loss, and the dealer collects his bet on the spot.

7. When all players have made a choice, the dealer's play is fixed: show the hole cards, if the points are less than 17 points, you must have cards until more than 16 points or burst.

8. If both sides have not exploded, it is closer to the win of 21 points, and if both sides have the same number of points, it is considered a draw. On top of these basic rules, there will be some changes in casinos around the world, for example, some casinos stop at soft 17 points (the points when A counts 11 points are called "soft", such as A and 6, which is soft 17 points), and some must continue to ask; Some casinos can only split up to four times in a row, and some can go on indefinitely; Some aces can only be split once; Some casinos are not allowed to double after splitting; Some casinos are not allowed to surrender; And so on and so forth.

There are also variations of blackjack, such as "DoubleExposure", where both of the banker's hole cards are lit, but if both players have the same number, the banker wins. Another example is blackjack with a big and small ghost (Joker), the dealer has to throw away the ghost card, but the player can specify its number of points when he gets the ghost card, such as making up 11 points, or using it as an ace, etc.

I believe everyone has played 21 points, but they don't know that the rules of 21 points in the casino are so detailed, and everyone must have never experienced splitting.

After the basic rules are finished, let's talk about why Han Shuo chose 21 points, in fact, it is very simple, other casino games, Han Shuo doesn't know if he will win, but Han Shuo knows that he will win at 21 points.

Why does Han Shuo think so, because Han Shuo is a card counter, what is a card counter, this group of people has never lost, maybe some people have a lot of complaints about this kind of card gambling method, but it is indeed legal, and only a few very talented people can do it, there are many talented people in the team have this kind of extremely talented. They go in and out of the casino, make thousands of dollars every day, do not cheat, and only rely on superhuman memory and Luo Ji thinking ability, they are card counters.

Han Shuo has a super memory and Luo Ji thinking ability, so he is a strong card counter.

"OPPA, why play 21 o'clock, this is not fun at all, it is not exciting at all." For playing 21 points, Zheng Xiujing pursed her lips, for her, it is not as exciting as going to fight roulette.

"Do you think so too?" Han Shuo looked at Zheng Xiuyan beside him.

However, Zheng Xiuyan is much better than Zheng Xiujing, looking at Han Shuo, Zheng Xiuyan smiled and said, "Anyway, it's 100 soles, you can play whatever you want." ”

And the latter result was that Zheng Xiujing was very shocked by Zheng Xiuyan.

Han Shuo was idle every time and fought against Zhuang, and what shocked everyone was that Han Shuo had never lost a single time in such a fight, the first time 100 soles, the second time 200 soles, the third time 400 soles, the fourth time 800 soles, the fifth time 1600 soles, the sixth 3200 soles, the seventh 6400 soles, the eighth 12800 soles, the ninth 25600 soles, and the tenth 51200 soles.

You must know that these ten times have won the won of only 40,000 won to 20 million won.

"Ahh OPPA, I love you. Zheng Xiujing couldn't suppress her excitement anymore, and hugged Han Shuo hard and shouted!

And Zheng Xiuyan also looked at this scene incredulously, at this time, the staff of South Korea's "In the Mood for Youth", who were attracted by Zheng Xiujing's surprised voice, looked at the chips in front of Han Shuo and collectively showed an excited expression.

Luo Yingshi came to Han Shuo's side even more excitedly, looked at Han Shuo and said, "Oh my God... Xiao Shuo, you are the god of gambling, why didn't you call me just now, I will also follow you. ”

"yes..." Han Shuo's words made his staff excited!

However, Han Shuo stood up at this time, and did not continue to bet, but looked at the casino's surveillance and made a slightly apologetic gesture.

Luo Yingshi and the others didn't know what Han Shuo meant by doing this, but at this time, the man who saw this surveillance smiled slightly and said: "Forget it, this person may just come to earn a passage or something, not to smash the field, he stopped as soon as he saw someone following, he already gave us face, don't bother this one, but also protect this one's safety, he gave us face, and we have to give him face." ”

"Got it, boss, but is this the card counter you said?"

"Yes, he's a card counter, and he's a very powerful 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 counters, but the one you see today should be one of the top 20."

.....................................

Chapter 631: The Secret Art of Card Counters

"Here are 10,000 soles per person, crystal and sister Xiuyan, you two go and have a good time." Han Shuo smiled and handed Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan 10,000 soles each.

Then Han Shuo took out 10,000 soles from the remaining 30,000 soles and gave dividends to the other staff, so that of the original 50,000 sols, Han Shuo only kept more than 20,000 sols in case of emergency.

In fact, giving money to Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan sisters is actually to lose the money, and to tell the surveillance personnel of this casino in this way that they are just passing by and need a little travel money.

Han Shuo was now in a variety show, so he didn't want to cause trouble, and then Han Shuo didn't continue to play, although Luo Yingshi and the others on the side kept wanting Han Shuo to give him some advice, but Han Shuo didn't say a word.

Waiting for Zheng Xiujing and Zheng Xiuyan to lose all their 10,000 soles, Han Shuo left the casino with everyone, and after leaving the casino, the manager of the casino quickly ran over from behind and gave Han Shuo a bottle of wine, saying thank you Han Shuo for raising his noble hand.

This time, the staff of "Tricks" were shocked, and they looked at Han Shuo with a very admiring expression.

At this time, Zheng Xiujing on the side snatched the wine from Han Shuo's hand, and after seeing the brand of the wine clearly, she immediately shouted in surprise: "Wow... It turned out to be Cruch Champagne, and in 2009 a broken bottle of Cruch 1928 Champagne became the most expensive champagne. OPPA, this bottle will cost at least a thousand dollars. ”

"Thousands of dollars... Oh my God, why did he give Xiao Shuo a bottle of champagne for thousands of dollars? Zheng Xiuyan was also surprised.

Of course, the rest of the staff were also surprised.

Only Han Shuo took the champagne with a smile and said, "This champagne is not for me, he 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 Crystal and Xiuyan lose some money again."

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...?" The words in Han Shuo's mouth aroused the interest of Luo Yingshi and the others: "Xiao Shuo, can you tell us what a card counter is, and why is a card counter so powerful." ”

Seeing a group of people staring at him with expectant eyes, Han Shuo smiled slightly and said, "Have you seen the movie "Decisive 21 Points"? ”

After Han Shuo 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, Han Shuo smiled and nodded, "That's right, in 1962, a man named Thorpe published the book "Beat the Dealer" and introduced his card counting method to the public.

This is no longer our usual turnip betting, but a mathematically based method, because it places different bets on B(i) at different win probabilities P(i), although the sum of the total win probabilities ∑P(i) is still less than 1/2, but as long as the large B(i) is played when P(i) is large, and the small B(i) is played at P(i) hour, 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-Low 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 point cards, minus 1; 17 cards are neutral cards with no points; How can you be wrong with a low card plus 1? ”

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.... Han Shuo's words, listening to the surrounding staff and the Zheng family sisters, were collectively dumbfounded.

Han Shuo looked at everyone's stupid looks, and said with a smile: "Actually, I can't win 100%, the fact is that the card counter can't calculate what cards he gets next, but is calculating what the probability of playing a big card next is, in fact, it's already very good, the higher the probability of calculating the next big card, the greater the hope of defeating the dealer!"

Just like I won 10 times in a row, Stanford Wong said in Blackjack Secrets that every point higher in the average adds about 0.5% to the edge. 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 auctioneer is basically a person, because the goal 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?"

Han Shuo's mantra once again stimulated the hearts of all the staff, if there really could be a mantra that could kill all sides, it would be every man's dream.

"Tell us soon." The staff were excited.

Han Shuo laughed and said: "1) At 11 points or less, you can always ask for cards, if the dealer shows cards at 9 o'clock is 3 to 6, and at 10 or 11 points, the dealer shows cards worse than himself, and you can double it." 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. ”

Han Shuo smiled slightly after speaking, but none of the others responded at this time, because they were all silently making records!
