Chapter 4 Gambling Opponents

Walking into the small room, there is a corridor less than ten meters in the luxurious decoration, the crystal chandelier exudes a soft light, and the ground is covered with a typical Turkic style carpet, which shows the dignity of the status here.

Mary led me all the way to the end of the corridor, where there were two black ** men in black suits, of course, these two were a little worse than Eunice, and when I saw Mary leading me, I walked over naturally without hindrance.

At the end, a little to the left, there was a high-quality redwood door, and Mary led me inside.

I saw a rectangular gambling table inside, and there were five people sitting around, including Lake and Kyle, who sat on one side, and the other three sat opposite, opposite Lake was an old man wearing flat glasses, bald in the middle of his head, with obvious wrinkles outlining the shadow of his face under the light, and a cigarette on his thin lips under the hooked nose, pretending to be calm and waiting for the waiter to be dealt.

Opposite Kyle was a black man with very short hair, an angular face, black and white eyes, a lion nose and thick lips, and a diamond-like stud earring on his left ear, with a condescending arrogance in his demeanor.

Next to the black man sat a young Caucasian man with a cowboy hat, brown eyebrows, blue eyes, straight nose bones, lips that were not thick or thin, but when they were closed, it made people feel a little cold, and he was wearing a denim suit, this person was not simple.

Lake was the first to see us walk in and greeted, "Hey, brother, you've been here for so long?" I'm not going to get out of my luck with these two, I'll go to the bathroom and you can help me. ”

Lake stood up, saw the young and lovely Mary, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "You just caught such a beautiful girl, it's not shallow." ”

I blushed, and just wanted to say no, but Mary didn't care, and said angrily: "It's not him who fishes me, can't I fish him?" I hate hippie smiley-faced people the most, let's get there. ”

Lake grabbed my shoulders and leaned into my ear, "Who is this girl?" So spicy? ”

Then Lake gave me a turn on his elbow and shouted, "You play for me." ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Ryker hurried out.

I had to go to Lake's seat and sit down, Mary standing behind me, and I humbly said to Kyle, "I don't know how to play with this." ”

Kyle smiled and said, "It's okay, my eldest brother tells you to play, you can play, don't worry, it's just for fun." ”

Kyle made a gesture called the waiter to deal cards, and the waiter standing in the middle of the table with a big back and a small tie dealt two cards to everyone, and I got a jack of spades with a buck and a 2 of hearts face up, and the waiter said, "Bet please." ”

I was about to put the first jack face down, but Mary pressed my shoulder, put it in my ear and said, "That one can't be turned over for anyone else to see." ”

I put the jack of spades down again, and Mary continued: "This is now a 21 game, and the rules are: 'K, QUEEN, J and 10 all count as 10.'" An ace can be counted as either 1 or 11 points, as determined by the player. All remaining 2 to 9 cards are calculated at their original face value. If the player's first two cards are an ace and a 10, he has a blackjack; At this point, if the dealer doesn't have Blackjack, the player wins 1.5 times their stake (3 to 2). Players without Blackjack can continue to draw cards so that the total is as close as possible but not more than 21; If 21 points are exceeded, the player will "blast" and lose the bet. 'Do you understand?' I nodded, I roughly understood, I'm 12 o'clock now, the old man said he didn't want a card, threw 2 chips on the table, the black man said he wanted one, call, "cowboy" don't want a card, call, Kyle PASS, of course Kyle will lose the initial amount of money that must be paid.

It's my turn, I'm at a loss in my heart, if I want to have a 10, I'll lose directly, if it's smaller than 10, there may be hope, I looked at Kyle, Kyle understood what I meant, put on an indifferent expression and said, "You can do it." ”

Mary said gently: "When gambling cards, you must make your own decisions." ”

I asked for a card, a 5 of squares, I asked for more, an ace of clubs, and I asked for a 5 of hearts, which added up to exactly 21 points with the hole cards.

I threw 2 chips that were put together.

After the waiter looked at the chips, he said, "This gentleman bet 200,000, did anyone call?" ”

I'm throwing 200,000 casually, if I lose

The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "The newcomer who just came, luck is good, I had to give up." ”

The blacks and the "cowboys" also gave up.

The waiter put all the chips on the push board and put them on my side, and announced, "Gentlemen, this time the deck of cards has been used up, do you still have to play a game?" ”

Kyle joked, "Let's play a round, I haven't lost all my money yet?" ”

The black man laughed: "Since this friend wants to play so much, I will accompany you." ”

The old man quipped, "There is such a beautiful young lady standing opposite me, I am reluctant to go." ”

Mary was teased like this, but didn't care, just stared at the old fellow fiercely.

When I heard this, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I thought to myself, "Didn't Mary just accompany me here, why didn't you leave?" ”

He turned back to Mary and said, "Will it delay your work?" Otherwise, you should go first. ”

Mary explained: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, I'm willing to accompany you." ”

The black man smiled at Kyle, "Look at that friend of yours, I'm so lucky, I'm dying of jealousy, hehe." ”

Kyle said helplessly: "Then who made us handsome without parents, you are so rich, if you go to plastic surgery or something, you will definitely be welcomed!" ”

Seeing Kyle's strange remarks, it drew a burst of laughter from the old man and the negro, and the "cowboy" didn't laugh and still looked like he was.

At this time, the waiter took a new deck of cards, removed the big and small ghosts, opened the cards horizontally, turned them upside down, and turned them back.

Mary posted it again and whispered, "This is the license inspection procedure." ”

The waiter seemed to deliberately show the superb shuffling skills, only to see the deck of cards flying up and down in his hand, and also made a few tricks when shuffling the cards, which was very good-looking.

No wonder the master said, my memory method can be used for gambling, the waiter so a hand, the card order is almost remembered, what the card probably knows, how can it not win?

The old man applauded and said, "Good, good, it looks good to wash, oh, this is a reward for you." ”

After speaking, the old man threw 2 chips to the waiter, and the waiter took it with a smile and said, "Thank you for this gentleman's generosity." ”

The old man smiled, "Then deal the cards." ”

This time I got a King of Clubs and a Queens of Hearts, but I knew that the black man had an Ace and a 10 in his hand, and I chose PASS.

Kyle and the old man both called, and "The Cowboy" gave up.

No need to ask, the blacks won.

A few back and forth, relying on the work of the card order, I had a lot of gains, Kyle was about to lose as he said, he was either "blasting", or the points were not comparable.

The old man kept complaining about how his luck had suddenly deteriorated, and he smoked a cigarette with a burning eyebrow eagerness.

The black man was still very leisurely, he didn't care if he won or lost, and he looked like he was thinking.

"Cowboy" was still calm, and only he and I were winning, as if he knew the card order.

Another round of cards was dealt, I had 14 points in my hand, the next one was a 5 of spades, and in the next square was a fast 7, this black man was 20 points, and put a double bet, and the "cowboy" had 15 points in his hand, but he asked for two in a row, and he volunteered to "blast"!

Kyle was running out of money at 19 points, and he didn't dare to continue betting, so he had to give up.

The old man had a bad hand and gave up.

When the "cowboy" asked for two cards, he looked at me and watched my reaction.

The third is the King of spades, if you want me to lose this hand, give up, "cowboy" seems to be observing me something, does he find out that I can remember the cards?

After all, it's Lake's money, and I give it up.

The black man said: "Are you very smart, you don't follow, when will this end?" ”

Is it a provocation?

Dealt again, this time it's Kyle's turn to be the banker, he will lose if he loses, but he got the hole card is club 2, the face is a square 10, I don't want Kyle to lose, although I am 19 points, if from my round down a circle, no one wants, then greet him will be a 10 of hearts, I want that 10 of hearts, the next is 9 of spades, it is the turn of the "cowboy" to want, he has a card in his hand is a diamond A and 9 of clubs, he doesn't have to ask for it, but he wants it, 9 of spades is followed by a 2 of spades, as if he knows, So he didn't have the melancholy to ask again, exactly 21 o'clock.

Kyle was left with a 7 of hearts, and the next 6 of clubs, and as expected, Kyle had no choice but to ask for two in a row, and as a result, he was "blasted".

The black man knew that the result was the same, and smiled lightly, and the old man was about to lose at the same time, and the "cowboy" proposed at this time: "Maybe the cards are not enough, it's the last hand, how to rely on luck, a clean bet." ”

The old man thought it was an opportunity to turn the book over, and said with a smile: "Okay, I like to eat it all up like this, and it doesn't matter if I lose it all." ”

The "cowboy" obviously looked at me and spoke, waiting for me to answer, maybe gambling has a kind of charm that makes people want to stop, and that's why this time I'm the banker, and if I win, I win all, and if I lose, I give them an equal share.

Because of the dealing, and to cards I am the last, there are too many variables in this, I was just about to refuse, a person behind me patted me on the shoulder, Lake didn't know when to stand behind me and said: "Bet on a good bet, don't refuse because this is my money, I support you." ”

All eyes were on the table, unaware of Lake's return.

I calculated the card order and confidently said, "Just bet on this one." ”

Originally, according to my calculations, I had a point of 15, the old man was 19, the black man was 19, and the "cowboy" was a pair of 8s, and when it was his turn to ask, he separated the two and began to ask for cards, a pair to 17 points, a pair to 19 points, and then he looked at me with a straight time, and waited for me.

I know that the card behind is a spade queen, and if you want it, you will lose, and if you don't want it, you will lose.

But lose also to lose, understand, at least I can't make everyone think that I already know the next card, learn the gesture Kyle did before I asked for another one, open it to see that it is a square fast ace, why not the Q of spades?

Now I have to ask for it again at 16 o'clock, and for the first time, my confidence in my memory has been shaken, and I have another card, which is the queen of spades, and I was played!

It turned out that "Cowboy" knew that the Q of spades was preceded by a square ace, and deliberately stayed to undermine my confidence.

The waiter announced, "The game is over, congratulations to the winners." ”

The old man stood up very happily and said, "I didn't win, but I got my capital back, and I will fight again next time." ”

The black man and the "cowboy" got up at the same time, and the black man laughed: "It's a good day, and if you have the chance, you'll see you next time." ”

Lake Hao smiled heartily: "Little meaning, small meaning, hehe, I'm happy to win or lose, I'm going to play here next time." ”

After seeing that they were all gone, Lake said to me, "Mark let's go too, don't you have something to do with me?" ”

Walking out of the house, I was still angry about losing the money, I wanted to tell him that I would pay him back the money, but I was about to open my mouth, but Lake stopped: "Don't talk about it yet, go out and talk." ”

Mary had been following me, and at this time she took my hand again, and said coquettishly, "Don't go, stay with me for a while." ”

Although the beauty has an appointment, I want to know about Mi Le's situation, so I refused: "I'm sorry, I can't do it today, I still have something." ”

Seeing the situation at this time, Lake came over and put his arm around my shoulder and laughed: "Brother, I see that you can't leave today, if you don't sleep with her, she won't let you go, hahaha"

Who would have thought that Lake would say such a sentence with one mouth, Mary was embarrassed and said angrily: "It has nothing to do with you if I go to bed with him or not, the guy who can't spit out ivory in the dog's mouth, come on, arrest him for me!" ”

As soon as Mary finished shouting, six big men rushed into the hallway of the hut and surrounded me and Lake, with Kyle standing
