Chapter 81 [Gambling]
When it comes to gambling, outsiders always seem to be very mysterious. Especially in that kind of movie, through special effects, sound and light effects, and a little bit of tricky shooting methods, it is easy for people to have an illusion of "god" for this kind of thing.
And the real gambling technique, in fact, is very simple.
There is no stunt of flying poker cards like a gambling movie, and there is no fancy shuffling of the cards (even if there is, shuffling is the job of the dealer.) )
Frankly speaking, I have gambled with people a few times before, whether it is playing cards with Li Wenjing and Minister Jin in China, or anything else, it is purely relying on the strong luck given to me by the ring to win each other.
However, since Yang Wei gave me the Fengyan ring, coupled with the close relationship with Yang Wei, I am very interested in Yang Wei's family to develop by relying on the casino business.
The underworld, the most traditional underworld business controlled by his subordinates, is naturally pornography, gambling and drugs. The big circle is a gangster, and of course there are some peripheral elements who rely on gambling to eat.
Especially before coming to Las Vegas this time, I also specially looked for someone to probably make up for some basic concepts of gambling.
Gambling, in general, is actually divided into two types, that is, real gambling and fake gambling.
The special function in the movie is changed cards. Or use superb techniques to change cards and make fraud...... That's not called gambling, but "Qianshu", the real gambling master. It is also necessary to know that in order to walk the rivers and lakes without being yīn. But out of the thousands, after all, is really disdainful of the masters.
And the real gambling technique, in fact, to put it bluntly, is very simple, there are only two points: first, strong memory. Second, it is a strong probability calculation ability!
In the words of connoisseurs, it is called "eye poison" and "heart pleasure". If you can do these two things and combine them perfectly. It's a gambling master!
Eye poison is naturally about memory.
Tough gambling masters are all good at remembering cards! Because before the start of each round. Dealers have to shuffle the cards, professional casinos in the dealer shuffle are fixed routines and patterns, first shuffle the cards, and then let the gamblers check the cards, the process of checking the cards is particularly important! Everyone has seen in the movie how the dealer in the casino checks the cards: sweep it at will. Put a deck of playing cards on the table, form a half-moon shape, and spread out neatly! Then take out a card. Flip the bottom together, back and forth, you can show everyone the front and back of the whole deck of playing cards......
The process is very short, even less than ten seconds! But it also gives you two or three chances to look at the entire deck in 10 seconds!
A powerful gambling master, with a poisonous eye and a strong memory, can put the entire deck of playing cards in such two or three eyes. Write down most of it!
The top and most powerful masters, you can do it in this short period of time, and remember all the cards without leaving me!
In this way, it is equal to when the cards are dealt, all the cards are in his heart, and the other party is dealt with what cards, the heart is clear!
However, only the God of Gamblers can do this. In the movie, any master, you can remember all of them at a glance at a deck of cards, and one is not bad, it is a fake place. In reality, most of the masters can memorize a deck of cards, which is enough for him to laugh proudly.
Just imagine, in a few seconds, a shuffled and disorganized deck of cards, just look at it in a hurry to remember most of it, what a strong memory!
Of course, those who can do the "eye poison" can only be said to have half the effort of a gambling master.
The other half is by "heart speed"!
Almost all gambling masters are super strong people who calculate quickly and tacitly! This kind of person, either born, or acquired, in short, for numbers are very sensitive, they can in a short period of time, according to their own memory of all the cards issued in order, and then arrange their own cards, and the other party to get the cards, how many kinds of cards, size, each game of winning...... Probability.
The so-called "fast heart" is to quickly calculate the probability! A deck of more than 50 cards, no matter how ever-changing, that is, nothing more than the different combinations of these cards, in this case, a master can calculate all the cards that he and the other party may have, the probability of various combinations, the probability of size, the probability of winning or losing!
And exquisite, is one word: fast!
If a person can master both of these points, and at the same time cooperate with the jīng pass of the rules of the gambling game, he can be regarded as a master of gambling.
Of course, there are other techniques at the deeper level, and that is some acting skills. When the card is small, it pretends to have an indomitable momentum, which is called stealing chickens...... These are the inner psychological qualities. There is also the observation of the opponent, the opponent's eyes, expressions, and even every subtle body movement, in the eyes of the gambling master, can become the confidence of the opponent, judge the size of the opponent's actual hand......
There are many gambling masters, who are actually masters of psychological warfare. Of course, in gambling, various genres are different, some people focus on technology, some people focus on psychological attack opponents, and some people are good at acting to deceive each other......
And at this moment, the Mr. Wu Dalang in front of me is obviously a player with a technical stream.
I have to say that his "eye poison" and "fast heart" really surprised me very much!!
In the first game, we were all trying. And after the dealer shuffled the cards, when we checked the cards, I found that both the white man on the opposite side and Mr. Wu Dalang restrained their redundant expressions and glanced at them a few times. At this moment, they are undoubtedly very serious.
And I, on the other hand, seem to be a lot more layman...... To be honest, I don't have that kind of skill to memorize the cards with a single glance.
However, my behavior, in the eyes of the other party, is much more reassuring. Although the other party didn't speak, they couldn't help but show expressions like "this guy is a layman" on their faces.
In the rest of the game, it was clear that the opponent had the initiative, as they both memorized all the cards. And the two carefully calculated the probability, with or without it.
Because, even if you remember the order of all the cards, you have to find a way to get the biggest card into your hand.
What to do?
Simple, is to use the rules of the game, so that the cards you want to be smoothly dealt to your own hands!
The simplest explanation: For example, you know that the next card to be dealt is the highest ace and you want this ace, but in order, the next card to be dealt first is your opponent. In other words, according to the rules, the ace will be sent to your opponent.
At this time, what should you do if you want to get that ace?
Stealing cards? Jokes, that's out of the old man! In a real international casino, there are too few opportunities for you to sell thousands, and almost all the loopholes that can be thought of have been gambled! The chances of a thousand are slim.
Then the only way to do this is to use your skills to interfere with the order in which the cards are dealt! In other words, the rules are applied reasonably.
Obviously, the ace should be sent to your opponent, at this time, you can deliberately raise the bet, raise, and then deliberately show your full confidence to intimidate the opponent and hit the opponent's confidence! At this point, you deliberately appear strong enough to make the other person think your hand is good...... And if his hand is not very good, he may fold, give up, and not follow.
If the opponent doesn't follow, then the next card, the ace that originally belonged to the opponent, will be dealt to you.
This is just the simplest and most basic of the countless tricks.
In general, the master of gambling is, remember the cards, calculate the probability, and then make full use of the rules!
This Wu Dalang is obviously a good player!
In the first game, I didn't remember the cards, but he didn't despise me at all, but was very careful to observe whether I followed or not...... Because there are three people in the game, whether I follow or not, it will affect the order of the cards dealt!
And I, out of temptation, when I got the third card, thought that I didn't have much chance of winning, so I gave up and said no. Although I didn't follow this one and lost 100,000, I didn't care, but carefully observed the duel between Rì himself and the white man.
When I withdrew, both of them immediately tacitly calculated the order in which the cards were dealt. In the last game, Rì himself won 1.5 million.
I gave up five in a row, and I always waited until the third card and said "no".
This several times in a row made Rì himself a little annoyed, and he glanced at me: "Will you say anything else except not to follow?" ”
I smiled and didn't fight with him.
By the time it was the seventh inning, the white man couldn't sit still.
In the previous games, he was able to share the same situation with Rì himself, and that was because he also remembered the cards in front of him very clearly. But to the back......
This is a high sentence!
Obviously, in the item of card marking, Rì himself has the advantage! Because from the seventh game onwards, the white man could no longer remember the cards that followed...... In terms of memory, rì himself wins!
In such a situation, it is equivalent to a bright-eyed person beating a blind man! Is there still a reason not to win?
Finally, the white man retreated, and finally he wiped his sweat, got up and walked to the back, and whispered a few words to the people from his own forces sitting behind, and then the leading white man nodded to Mr. Yang Er: "We quit." There was a pause, then he stopped talking to the others, got up and left with his people.
Later, I learned that, according to the rules, today's quota was set at $100 million. If the Yang family loses, the Yang family will pay 100 million US dollars to the few companies who came to smash the field, as for the 100 million US dollars, how to divide them, it depends on the other party's own distribution. Whoever gets more and who gets less depends on the performance at the table, and the most outstanding performance is, of course, the biggest share.
But if the Yang family wins...... The people who came to smash the field also had to compensate the Yang family with 100 million US dollars, and the 100 million US dollars were shared by these families. As for who has more and who has less, it also depends on the performance at the table.
So, even though they joined forces to smash the field, they still fought with each other, at the table.
"Hey, 'don't follow Mr.', now another one is gone, and it's just you and me. If you don't keep up, you're going to lose tonight. Wu Dalang stretched and looked at me with some disdain: "How is it?" ”
He smiled and sorted out the chips in front of him: "Now I have about 100 million on the table, and you have less than 10 million." How do you want to play? ”
At this time, I finally pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled: "Okay, I don't like to waste time either." Why don't we decide the winner in one game? ”
Rì himself sneered: "A game to determine the winner? He said mockingly: "Are you really a layman...... You have less than 10 million chips. And I have 100 million! Your stakes are much smaller than mine, you pay 10 million, why do I have to pay 100 million to determine the winner of a game with you? It's not fair. ”
I laughed a little: "Okay, then I'll raise." Add it to 100 million. ”
I glanced back at Mr. Yang Er: "Mr. Yang Er, let's do it, my table is 90 million less than the other party, this 90 million is paid by myself, if I lose, I will also bear it, how about it?" ”
Yang Er's eyes showed a hint of strange brilliance, and he probably felt very surprised.
With someone like Yang Er, he talked to me about business before. Surely I've got it done!
I paid 90 million out of my own pocket?
Objectively speaking, I will indeed earn 100 million yuan a year from the protection fee of the smuggling business in the future...... But now. All my assets combined, not that much!
The property left by the eighth master is only 20 million, which is already all the belongings of the big circle. Recently, the smuggling syndicate paid 10 million yuan for the first instalment of protection. In addition, in this cooperation transaction promised by Yang Er, he will pay me 30 million in cash.
It can be said that even if I add up all my net worth. I don't even have 90 million!!
Although Yang Er didn't speak, he had already signaled to me with his eyes, and the meaning was obviously very clear: You can't take out 90 million at all.
I smiled and gave Yang Er a determined look.
Yang Er tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Mr. Chen Yang, I know that you came here to discuss business this time, and you didn't bring too much money here, so I can lend it to you first." I'll give it back when you get back. After a pause: "Of course, you are playing on my behalf, and if you win, then the gambling funds will naturally belong to you." ”
After saying that, he asked his subordinates to bring a checkbook, filled it out at random, and asked someone to hand it to me. I took the check from his subordinates, but I was surprised to see that there was a note on the spot with the check, which was obviously also written by Yang Er just now.
"You don't have ninety million. If you lose, I want Huaxing! ”
Seeing this, my eyes immediately narrowed, and I glanced back at Yang Er, only to find that he was smiling at me leisurely.
Hmph, this guy!
Indeed, I borrowed this money from him, and if I lose, I can't afford to pay it back even if I go bankrupt! He asked for Huaxing...... Good calculation!
But I don't even care about it!
Since it's a big gamble, I'm naturally willing to give it a go!!
I took a deep breath, then put the check on the chip in front of me and looked at Rì himself on the other side: "Okay, now that our bets are the same, let's start, see at once, how about it?" ”
Rì himself's face turned cold, looked at me, and said slowly: "You are looking for death." ”
And at this moment, Pete, who had been watching the game from the side, Pete, the master of the Yang Family Casino, had a pale face! He looked at me with a look of surprise, despair. As if I thought I was going to lose!
Because just now, the dealer has shuffled the cards and checked the cards! Obviously, this new deck of cards is not only Rì himself, but also Pete next to him...... Although Pete's ability to remember cards is not as good as that of Rì himself, at least this deck of cards, he began to remember the numbers at the beginning..."
According to the cards he and Rì himself remembered...... This game, if it is a game...... I'm doomed! Because although the cards have not been dealt yet, they already know that the cards I have dealt must be smaller than Rì himself!!
I ignored the look in my eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly unbuttoned my shirt and pulled a silver chain from my neck. On this chain, there are two rings.
I took one of them...... And Yang Wei, at this moment, seemed to smile in his eyes.
This ring is the eye of the storm.
I put the ring on the middle finger of my left hand in public and laughed loudly, "This is my lucky ring, I will always have good luck wearing it." ”
No one showed anything strange...... This is a very normal move. Even ordinary gamblers, many people are used to carrying some amulets or lucky tokens and the like. It's just a small habit.
It's a common, popular habit, isn't it?
Only that Wu Dalang pouted his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Hell, you Chinese are so strange, do you think a ring can change anything?" Then he sneered, "What's the matter?" Did your lover give you this ring? Or do you think your lover will bless you? Unless your lover is the Virgin Mary. Hahahaha......"
I smiled faintly: "Even if it's it." ”
As soon as I said this, I saw Yang Wei's face changing slightly when I was sitting on the left side, and his cheeks actually showed a little redness. And Qiaoqiao, who was sitting next to me, had a less beautiful face, and even below, he stepped on me with his high heels.
"Come on!" I put on the ring, and the jīng god was shaken! But at the same time, there is also a faint tension in my heart!
Hell, after all, I'm gambling with all my net worth!! Although I am very confident in the role of the ring, but in case I lose...... Damn, if I lose, I'm left with nothing!
But the huge benefits in front of me can't help but make me moved!
On the table, there are 100 million dollars! If I win, it's mine!!
Start dealing!
At this moment, the audience was silent, and the atmosphere became solemn! But I noticed that even the dealer who dealt the cards was looking at me with a sympathetic gaze...... Well, even he thought I was going to lose.
Five rounds of cards are dealt.
My four face-up cards are A, J, 10, 9.
This kind of card, the straight is hopeless, my maximum possible xìng, unless my hole card is also an ace, then my maximum is only a pair of aces.
Rì himself smiled at my cards and said coldly, "Hmph, A, J, 10, 9." Boy, you only have a pair of aces at the most, but I've seen through your cards for a long time, and your hole cards aren't even aces! You only have one hole card! You have a bad hand, that is, you have a maximum ace, and you lose! ”
Indeed, he was right, I glanced at my own hole cards, and it was indeed an 8.
Rì's own cards are obviously much more beautiful than mine.
His hand is 10, J, Q, K, straight!!
This guy obviously memorized the whole deck of cards in this game, and he didn't even look at his hole cards from beginning to end! I followed it all the way to the end!
He was clearly full of confidence!
The dealer sighed: "Speak in the face." ”
Wu Dalang straightened his waist, looked at me proudly, his eyes were full of provocation, and raised his chin: "Dongzi, you can see clearly, I am a straight card!" Do you still want to win or lose? ”
After speaking, he pushed out all the chips in front of him and looked at me coldly: "I show hand!" Do you dare to follow? Didn't you say that you would win or lose? ”
I didn't speak, just calmly pushed out all the chips in front of me.
At this time, Pete under the package, as well as the dealer, all looked at me with a look of a jīng divine patient.
Rì himself was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, pointed at me and laughed: "Hahaha! Are you really crazy? Hell, you really followed! What cards do you have? Your hole card is just one! You're only one A's at most! Why are you playing with me! ”
I didn't get angry at all, stared at him, gently turned over my hole cards, and said lightly: "Indeed, you are very good at playing cards, at least you remember my cards very accurately." You're right, my hole card is indeed one, and my biggest card is just an ace. So, now, let me see your hole cards. ”
Rì himself looked proud: "Hmph, let your heart lose convinced!" My hole card is a straight I took! 10,j,q,k,a!! ”
After speaking, he picked up his hole cards very chicly, turned them over, and threw them on the table with a bang!
