Chapter 804: Probability Genius
"Can this man remember the order of all the cards?" Lin Fan frowned when he heard this, in his opinion, this is very possible, because if someone shuffles the cards in front of him, he can also do it with his skills and eyesight.
"But in a large-scale competition like the King of Gamblers, it shouldn't be the dealer's hand to shuffle the cards, right?" Lin Fan casually asked his own question, because even if this foreigner could remember the card order, it was unlikely that he would see the process of shuffling the cards.
"Brother Lin, you're right, this gambling king competition does use the most advanced shuffling machine in the world, and there is no artificial shuffling at all," Chen Haonan nodded and responded.
In the past, when science and technology were not developed, the casino was full of people to shuffle the cards, deal cards, and people to shake the dice, this group of people called dealers, even today, there are casinos are still continuing this way, which is also a good dealer, will be sought after by many casinos, after Ye Han died, as long as Henry Wei and Uncle Ming and others nodded, I am afraid that any casino in the world will open the door for them.
But in the last year or two, in order to reduce the human factor, many casinos began to add some high-tech gambling tools, such as card machines, which can be placed in four to six decks of playing cards, of course, the playing cards are naturally removed from the king, and it is an automatic shuffle and dealing, no one can observe and remember the order of the playing cards by shuffling the cards.
In addition to this, there is also the machine that shakes the dice, the sieve cup used to be controlled by the dealer, and it was opaque, and the most important thing was that the gamblers did not accept bets until the dealer had finished shaking.
But now the rules have all changed, first of all, the sieve cup is transparent, and after all the gamblers have bought the size, they start to shake the dice in front of them, and there is no need to open the sieve cup to win or lose, and all the people can see the size clearly after shaking, and these changes in the casino are undoubtedly to prevent professional gamblers.
But then again, nine out of ten bets are lost, no matter how clever the technology and advanced machines, can not be separated from the human factor, those gambling games that seem impossible to cheat, who knows whether the casino can operate them, but anyway, the change of rules and the change of gambling equipment in the casino, how much also let the gambling people have some psychological comfort.
Lin Fan frowned, holding chopsticks in one hand, and didn't even eat the fragrant steak rice on the table in front of him, about a few dozen seconds later, Lin Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "It's a generalization, it must be probability, this person is not a gambling genius, but a mathematical genius!" ”
"Probability theory? Math genius? After hearing Lin Fan's words, Chen Haonan was stunned for a moment, put down the red wine glass in his hand, and said: "I have heard the people below discuss, this person is indeed a mathematics teacher, but he doesn't seem to be well-known in the mathematics world, and he can't be called a genius." ”
When this foreigner was gambling with Henry Wei, Chen Haonan was present, and when he heard the people below talking about the identity of this person, he deliberately asked his subordinates to investigate, and soon understood the origin of the other party.
This foreigner's name is Pu Feng, born in France in a mathematical family, his parents are mathematics professors at Harvard University in M country, and his grandparents are also well-known figures in the mathematics world.
However, Pufeng's achievements in mathematics are not as good as his parents, after graduating from college, to everyone's surprise, he did not choose to stay in school to teach, but returned to his hometown to become a mathematics teacher in a middle school, from the resume, his life is very simple, and there is no connection with gambling at all, because just half a year ago, he was just a mathematics teacher.
However, he teaches the mathematics of probability, and he never needs to prepare for the class, he always comes with his mouth open, of course, Chen Haonan naturally did not find such detailed information.
Lin Fan shook his head and said slowly: "Brother Haonan, it won't be wrong, no one taught him gambling skills, but he killed all sides at the gambling table, and if he loses, he only loses the bottom money, it must be analyzed from the perspective of probability." ”
Lin Fan knew that among all the gambling skills, Sun Fu's weakest one was poker. Although poker originated in China, it was called solitaire by the ancients, but at that time the cards were not perfect, only one or twenty cards, and then developed to about thirty cards, and then gradually declined in China, and the real rise of poker and was accepted by people, or after it was transmitted to Europe, probably in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century, France developed the playing cards into fifty-four cards, and developed the relevant gameplay, and later developed in China.
Therefore, for poker, the popularity in foreign countries is far better than that of China in the early years, so Sun Fu spent a lot of effort when he was young to make up for the relevant ways of poker. I remember when I was in the village, Sun Fu told Lin Fan that poker is a game of probability, and real geniuses don't need to remember cards at all, they can use probability to analyze the cards from a mathematical point of view, which is also the basis for Lin Fan to deduce the identity of that person.
"Damn, even if you use a computer to calculate, I'm afraid you won't be able to analyze it so quickly, right?" Chen Haonan's eyes widened, and Qin Feng also frowned, after all, what Lin Fan said, the two of them had never heard of it before, and there were still people in the world who used this method to gamble on poker.
In fact, not only the two of them, but also the dealers of most casinos in the world and the masters of various gambling circles do not necessarily know, and even if someone knows how to gamble with probability theory, I am afraid it is rare. Because this kind of person who uses his brain to calculate probability, the brain's familiarity with numbers has reached an extremely terrifying level, and the probability of such a person in the world is too low, and the application of this ability to gambling is unique.
In this case, it is normal for Chen Haonan and the people present to not think of the means of this Pufeng to win the game, of course, even if someone thinks of it, it is also uncontrollable, because the other party uses his own brain, and does not have any means of making a thousand moves, which is the most clever gambling technique.
"Brother Haonan, computers are man-made, if the human brain is fully developed, what is the speed of the computer," Lin Fan looked at Chen Haonan with a dumbfounded look, and said with a light smile, he knew that Chen Haonan's life was very hard before, and he didn't know much about education, not to mention mathematics now.
But Lin Fan is different, when they were falconry, there were people who specially taught them professional knowledge, and mathematics was a necessary course, and now Lin Fan has entered the middle stage of dark energy, and he feels that there is another world, and the level of life seems to have been further improved......
