Chapter 26: A Strange Gamble
Tang Bai endured the uneasiness in his heart, and as Wang Tu-Ssol and the others found a place to sit down at the gaming table, his eyes quietly looked around.
It appears to be a large carriage with only a gaming table and matching tables and chairs. The tables and chairs look a little old. Pale lights poured down from the roof of the car. The only thing that stood out on the floor was a small golden scale in the center of the table.
The table was huge, and even if there were nearly ten people around, it didn't seem crowded at all.
"What are you betting on this time?" Wang Tu, who sat down, immediately asked eagerly.
"Newcomers have a choice." The dealer's stiff face turned towards Tang Bai and the others, and his dry palm stretched out and placed it on the gambling table in front of him.
"What will you do?" Wang Tu also turned his head to look at Tang Bai.
"I'm not good at gambling." Although Ding Churou was still calm and calm at the moment, the tone of her voice unconsciously revealed the pressure rising in her heart.
"Stud, 21, Texas, baccarat, guess the dice, there's always one you're familiar with, right? Haven't you ever played it? Wang Tu frowned.
Tang Bai and Ding Churou glanced at each other, and after discussing for a while, Tang Bai spoke: "Then Texas." We're familiar with this, and I played it in Penguin Games. In fact, if Tang Bai was to choose alone, he would like to choose to guess the dice directly. Although he doesn't have the ability to listen to the wind and distinguish sounds, the mirror spirit may not have this ability.
"Then, the gamble has officially begun." The dealer said without the slightest fluctuation in his tone. Tang Bai only felt a sudden pain in his heart, and then it seemed that something was missing in his body, and he had a strange sense of emptiness. However, he didn't bother to pay attention to this sudden situation at the moment, but stared at the small golden scale in the center of the table.
Under his gaze, one weighing pan of the little golden scale was empty, and the other pan was gray chips out of thin air. When the weight of the two weighing pans reached a kind of balance, these gray chips were stacked neatly in front of Tang Bai.
Tang Bai picked up a few chips and looked at them, the style of these chips was arched, like a pocket tile, which could be stacked and stacked very high. Tang Bai counted the chips in his hand, there were probably close to five hundred. Sweeping his gaze, Ding Churou and Li Tu had three chips in hand, and the number of chips was obviously different from their own.
Wang Tu, Emma and Ampere Qinghai have obtained a few chips, which seem to be significantly less than them. Especially the waitress beside Ampei Qinghai, the chips in hand are even more pitiful, only a few dozen.
Looking at the stack of high chips in Tang Bai's hands, Wang Tuji's eyes were full of eagerness and envy. Once upon a time, they also got as many chips as Tang Bai. It's just that the more games you play, the fewer chips you have.
The rules of Texas are familiar to everyone present, and each person will be dealt two face-up cards that can only be seen by themselves at the beginning, and then the dealer will open three cards at a time, and then if he continues, the dealer will deal two cards again. At the end of the official draw, each person can pick out five of their two face cards and the five community cards on the table to make the largest five cards in hand.
Flushes, straights, pairs, three-of-a-kind, four-of-a-kind, etc., are all considered big cards.
During this period, every time the dealer is dealt, if one of the people at the table raises, the rest must raise if they do not want to give up their cards. Until the end of the day, everyone compares the cards in hand, or the only person left at the table. The last and final winner will win all the chips that have been put out of the table.
Although Tang Bai has never been to any casino, he does not understand anything. Players who have played Texas game limit in Penguin know one thing: the more people at the table, the fewer chances you have to win.
Of course, if you are lucky, you can also gain a lot and directly establish the advantage of victory. If you're unlucky, you'll be eliminated directly.
To put it bluntly, it's a matter of chance. Take the gambling game on the field as an example, plus the dealer is a total of nine people, so what are the nine people who bet together on you to win the odds? Or do you have a better chance of winning when two people bet together? Although in the face of luck, the odds have almost no reference value.
But after all, luck is too illusory, if you take a more prudent and conservative approach, then it is undoubtedly to fold as much as possible in the early stage, and wait until the people at the same table are almost killed, and then officially join in. When Tang Bai is playing, most of them will use this method.
Unfortunately, this method does not work in this game at hand.
As the number of games increases, the banker's initial stakes soon begin to double. In a short period of time, Tang Bai's chips were less than half, and Ding Churou and Li Tu were not much better off than him. The three of them obviously had the same conservative method as him at the beginning, but unfortunately, when the bottom chip doubled one after another, this method could only be a quick suicide.
Most of the chips in the hands of the four people fell into the hands of Wang Tu and the others, and from the fact that the four of them chose to collide fiercely from the beginning, and in the face of the abruptly increased bottom chips, they were calm and calm, without any surprises, the other party obviously knew this.
As for why Wang Tu and the others didn't tell them, Tang Bai and Ding Churou didn't have to think about it, and they could guess the minds of a few people. It's just that they don't want to have more competitors, and if they are more vicious, they just deliberately don't say it, wanting to let Tang Bai and the four of them become their "mouthpiece".
Now most of the chips on the gambling table are in the hands of Wang Tu and a few people, which is undoubtedly a clear proof. Wang Tu: They had a very accurate grasp of Tang Bai's thoughts. Maybe Ding Churou and Li Tu can spend a lot of money on the gambling game, but this definitely doesn't mean that they are indifferent to their own thinking, memory and emotions. Thinking that he might be deprived of his emotions and thoughts, and permanently reduced to a Deadpool-like existence here, Ding Churou and they had no way not to be cautious.
Ding Churou and Li Tu looked at the chips that were becoming more and more scarce in their hands, and their faces became more and more pale, especially Ding Churou, whose seductive red lips were bitten out of blood by her, and a pair of eyes were full of gloomy and gray color, with a kind of despair.
"Looks like you're not doing well." The familiar voice suddenly sounded in Tang Bai's heart.
Mirror Spirit!
Tang Bai's gloomy mood was lifted in an instant.
