The first ninety-seven game card arithmetic
cpa300_4(); In Edward? When Thorpe's book 'Beat the Banker' first came out, it was a sensation and quickly became a bestseller.
At that time, Thorpe noticed that if the probability of a 10 in blackjack increased, it would be bad for the dealer, because the dealer had to play at 16 or lower, and the more 10s, the easier it was to burst.
And for the player, it is easier to get BJ (Black Jack), win one and a half times the money, so, he uses a method to calculate the proportion of 10 in the remaining cards, before the advent of card counting, the casino still uses a deck of cards to play blackjack, under normal circumstances, this ratio should be 4/13, the dealer has the advantage, but when there are a lot of small cards out of front, the proportion of 10 appears to 1/3, the advantage is reversed to the player.
Thorpe's luck was very good, when the computer was invented, he found a friend in IBM, wrote a program to verify his card counting skills, the computer at that time was still a low calculation speed, huge stupidity, full seven days and seven nights of operation, finally proved that this method is feasible, and finally Thorpe personally went to the casino to realize, and sure enough, it won a big win, which was the famous '10 methods' at that time.
Countless gamblers regard it as the gambling bible, and it has inspired countless gamblers to flock to the casino to try their skills.
At that time, the casinos panicked about this, and some casinos even closed the blackjack tables, but they soon regained their composure, because the casinos found that among the large number of gamblers who flocked to the market, only a very few really mastered the method of card counting, and most of them were blind to hearsay.
Thorpe's book only provides a method for a very small number of people, and for most people, the actual effect is like a free advertisement in blackjack, which makes more people think they can make money in a casino, which is a dream advertisement for casinos, which cannot be done by spending no amount of money.
Card counting itself is not difficult to practice, as long as you have a certain mathematical talent and mind, you can basically learn, the difficult thing is to fight wits and courage with the casino, at the beginning. Card counting is still a new thing, and there is no legal provision in this regard, most of the casinos are underworlds, once the card counter is found. They were all treated as old men, and they were thrown into the stinky ditch after being beaten up.
Later, most of the major casinos were taken over by financial giants, and the formal management of suits and leather shoes began, and the card counters finally no longer had personal safety, but the casinos were people's private property. So there is the right to keep certain people undesirable out.
Therefore, the difficult thing for a card counter is not to count the cards, but how not to be discovered by the casino.
Later, after the unremitting exploration of countless players, the card counting method continues to evolve, more and more simple and practical, and then more popular a'high and low method', in the process of the game, we put each card appeared 2, 3. 4,5,6 are all +1 points, 7,8,9 are 0 points, 10,j,q,. Count -1 and add the points together, the higher the result, the more small cards that have appeared in front of you. The more favorable it is to the player, and conversely, if the result is a negative number, it means that there are more high cards than small cards played earlier, which is good for the dealer.
There are many ways to count cards, and so on. Jiang Hao didn't know how successful Wang Jianzhong had been in cultivating card counting, but Jiang Hao knew that even if you were better than the card counting master in the 'Blackjack Hall of Fame', it was useless, and Lao Qian's hands could change a qiē.
The first card in Jiang Hao's hand is A, according to the rules, the dealer will turn this card over, the second card continues to be hidden, Wang Jianzhong is thinking about whether to buy insurance.
According to the rules of blackjack, when one of the two cards in the banker's hand is A, the player can buy insurance, that is, guess the banker's other hole card is 10, that is, Black Jack, the insurance money is half of the bet ~ gold, if you guess correctly, the banker pays the player twice the insurance money, guess wrong, the insurance money goes to the banker, and the game continues.
Jiang Hao glanced at Wang Jianzhong, who was undecided, with a calm smile on his face, and said indifferently: "Boss Wang, do you want to buy insurance?" ”
Compared with Jiang Hao's light wind and lightweight, Wang Jianzhong only felt a lot of pressure, and his chest was a little breathless, according to the probability of his card counting, the probability of Jiang Hao's hole card appearing at 10 points is very small, and finally gritted his teeth, stared at Jiang Hao and said: "Don't buy, I don't believe your hole card will be a 10-point card." ”
Technique is one of the indispensable means of playing at the table, but more often than not, it is a battle of wits and courage, and it is necessary to cooperate with psychological tactics, such as giving the opponent the illusion of a bad hand when he is clearly holding a good hand, so that the opponent can call a lot.
Seeing that Wang Jianzhong gave up buying insurance, Jiang Hao's finger on his right leg stopped, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Boss Wang, I'm really Black Jack." As he spoke, he flipped the card over, and a jack was matched with an ace to form a BJ.
Seeing Jiang Hao's flipped cards, Wang Jianzhong's face froze, full of chagrin, and his hands slammed together, regretting that he didn't gamble just now.
Wang Jianzhong lost the gambling money again, and Wang Jianzhong's game, Jiang Hao has not officially made a thousand, but according to the cards that he has already known, to analyze the situation in the hands of both sides, and then cooperate with psychological tactics, Jiang Hao is with a relaxed mentality, and Wang Jianzhong is with endless pressure, so Jiang Hao's mental battle is easy to work.
After losing three games in a row, Wang Jianzhong was already a little red-faced, and it would be really terrible if he lost again, so he couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him with a puzzled face, and muttered secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this young man in front of him is also a card counting master?" The level is higher than yourself? ”
Jiang Hao looked at Wang Jianzhong's face constantly changing, sometimes hesitating, sometimes hesitating, and immediately said: "In this way, I let Chen Hua play with you, and I will pay if I lose." ”
When Wang Jianzhong heard this, the muscles on his face trembled, and he felt that the other party's words were like a slap in his face, which was obviously not looking down on his card skills, and it was not uncommon to bet with himself, Chen Hua's card skills He knew very well that the two of them had played a few times, and they were not his opponents at all.
Seeing that the other party asked Chen Hua to gamble with himself, in Wang Jianzhong's view, this was simply letting himself, and he was both ashamed and a little moved in his heart, which was clearly a disguised way to let himself win money and help himself.
At the moment, a little gratitude rose in his heart, thinking that the other party was in the jewelry business, he naturally had a lot of money, and he didn't care that he won this money, and after winning Jiang Hao, he would be grateful when he turned over, thinking of this, his heart suddenly brightened a little, and he did not refuse Jiang Hao's request.
And Chen Hua saw Jiang Hao let himself play, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, seeing that Jiang Hao gave him a reassuring look, he hesitated slightly, and then exchanged positions with Jiang Hao, today he originally planned to persuade this Wang Jianzhong, Jiang Hao must have his intentions in doing this, just follow and cooperate, with Jiang Hao here, he doesn't think he will lose.
In the face of Chen Hua's play, Wang Jianzhong's old face was quite unnatural, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, isn't this tantamount to bullying, he groaned in his heart for a moment, and muttered: "Forget it, just win back what you lost just now, this white thing is always uncomfortable, I have worked hard for so many years, I have never been looked down upon, and now I am down, let alone looked down upon." ”
Thinking of this, he said to Jiang Hao: "Let's start!" ”
Chen Hua played, naturally Jiang Hao dealt cards, Jiang Hao looked at the cards in front of him, secretly shook his head, he had not touched the cards, Wang Jianzhong had no chance to win, now the cards are mastered by themselves, the rhythm of the field is completely grasped by themselves, who wants to let what cards to come, who wants to win who wins.
Jiang Hao used a special method to deal cards, obviously the lower one, but it seems to be the top one, every time the cards are assigned, Wang Jianzhong is given a good card, so that Wang Jianzhong bets.
And Chen Hua doesn't look at the cards at all, the first two cards are within 17 points each time, you can always ask for one more card, and the last card is just a little bigger than Wang Jianzhong every time you turn over.
Let's talk about Wang Jianzhong's cards, the first two are either 18 or 19 points, or even 20 points, such a card is already very big, do not dare to ask for cards, but every time it is a little worse than Chen Hua, or it is about 12 points 13 points, such a card must have a card, but a card to 10 points burst.
Not only did he not win a few rounds, but he lost millions of dollars, Wang Jianzhong didn't care about anything else at this time, he was already losing red-eyed, if he lost to Jiang Hao before, he didn't know much about Jiang Hao, maybe he was a card counting master, but Chen Hua He knew very well, when was it so powerful? Could it be that you are unlucky, or you are the life of losing money?
Wang Jianzhong was not convinced, especially losing to Chen Hua one after another, which was simply an unacceptable blow to him, watching the cards open one by one, the card pile gradually thinned, Wang Jianzhong's heart once again ignited a raging fighting spirit, out of the cards he has all written down, he will never be miscalculated, will be able to win, next, he decided to place a heavy bet on the flip.
