Chapter 60
Link simply glanced at it, then walked away with little interest, walked to the 21 o'clock table, and after watching it, combined with the preparations he had made on the plane before, he soon had a bottom in his heart.
He went directly to the chip exchange office to exchange for a small amount of $1,000 in chips, and now in addition to the ticket money and hotel accommodation fees, Link only had less than two hundred dollars left in his hand.
After a little observation, Link chose a suitable field to sit down, and after the dealer saw Link sit down and start betting, he smiled at Link slightly, and then shouted, "Good luck, eat chicken tonight." "Start dealing the cards.
In just over two hours, Link's chips had changed from $1,000 to more than $8,000.
"Wow, I really didn't expect to see you here."
Hearing some familiar voices, Link was slightly stunned, turned his head, and then saw a familiar person, it was his grandmother Connie, who had been seen at Sheldon's house a few days ago.
She went straight to Link and sat down, and said, "I didn't expect you to come to Las Vegas too, I thought you would like to study those ...... at home when you have a vacation." Well, an incomprehensible question. ”
"Recently, I have been spending a lot of money on school, so I want to subsidize it." Link smiled and pressed the chips up, chatting casually with the other party.
Sheldon's grandmother Connie is a frequent visitor to Las Vegas, and after a glance, he knows that Link has won a lot, after all, Link, a student who has just entered college, can't directly take out so much money:
"Looks like you're not only as smart as Sheldon, but you're also lucky, oh, you've won again."
"As a mathematician, I believe in mathematics more than luck." Link said this in his heart.
The 21-point game uses 4 decks of cards, excluding the big and small kings, a total of 208 cards, and it changes all the time, the complexity and difficulty are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But in theory, people with super memory and super mental arithmetic ability are likely to succeed in card counting.
All you need to do is quickly calculate the winning rate of the current hand according to the current situation, and place a heavy bet when the winning rate is very high, which has a good chance of winning big.
Of course, actuarial cards only increase the winning rate, and up to a few hundred cards can only increase by 3%.
However, as the cards continue, there are fewer and fewer cards, as long as you fully remember the cards that have been dealt before, the winning rate will be higher and higher, of course, you must also beware of the occurrence of small probability events, otherwise an oversight, re-betting, may lose a fine money.
Link is playing with 21 points now but a small test, and if the level is really enough, there are more ways to make money faster.
For example, if Link has the same high-definition graphics memory ability as Sheldon, then he can play Texas Hold'em or something.
As long as you stare at the dealer shuffling, you can accurately analyze what cards each is holding by virtue of analysis alone, in this case, it is naturally invincible!
Of course, there is an important point, that is, if you see a good handful, you will accept it, for example, after winning this one, Link looked at the chips in front of him, and said in his heart: "It's almost, it's time to accept it when you see it." ”
Thinking so, Link gave the dealer a hundred-dollar chip and prepared to leave, while Grandma Sheldon said, "Why do you leave now, I see that you are in good luck." ”
In the casino, with red is the consensus of everyone, after all, sometimes people's luck comes up, it is really a god to kill God, a Buddha to kill a Buddha, as long as a shrewd person sees the opportunity, follow this luck, will definitely be able to win.
Of course, the premise is that you don't win the red eye and know when it's time to withdraw, otherwise no matter how big the fortune is, it will definitely be a blessing in disguise!
"No, that's it." Link shook his head, ready to take it when he saw it, he just wanted to earn a little pocket money, it seemed that there was nothing to do now, and if he won more, it would definitely trigger the casino's cordon.
came to Las Vegas to make money, Link planned to go a long way, but he didn't plan to be like Ma Kevin, who was directly rejected by major casinos, there are so many casinos in Las Vegas, and there is no need to point to one place.
"Have fun." With that, Link and Connie say goodbye and switch to another casino.
He didn't dare to say that he relied on mathematical card counting, and if Sheldon's grandmother knew about it, the possibility of exposure would be greatly increased.
Sheldon's grandmother, Connie, often went to the casino to play, and she was so addicted to gambling that Sheldon's mother often worried that one day she would be taken away by the casino people.
This is based on the fact that most Americans, especially the middle and lower class Americans, have no savings, and the same is true of Sheldon's grandmother, who only has a monthly pension.
But gambling is addictive, how can that little pension be stopped, and at the same time, the casino does not accept credit, so there are inevitably loan sharks hovering in the casino around the casino.
Sheldon's grandmother can be said to be an old gambler, and even some of the lenders are old acquaintances, so that the person in charge of loan collection is helpless when he sees her, because it is not easy to collect loans from old fritters.
Even when Sheldon used his super computing power to help Sheldon's father develop a football strategy and win consecutive games, Sheldon's grandmother also asked Sheldon to help calculate the winning rate, so as to place a heavy bet.
Later, Sheldon finally decided to file a complaint with his mother because it took too much time and energy, and then Sheldon's father and grandmother were warned.
However, Sheldon's grandmother still secretly asked Sheldon for help, and did not mention it again until she was cheated by Sheldon's wrong answer.
Now Sheldon's grandmother is just Link's luck, and if she realizes that Link is counting cards, she will definitely be entangled in wanting a piece of the pie.
It's nothing, the point is that it will be easier to attract the attention of the casino, greatly increasing the chance of exposure, Link is going to enter the village quietly, and he doesn't plan to fight with open fire, so it's better to stay away.
It took more than two days to move to more than a dozen casinos, and Link's funds on hand became more than $80,000.
With the money in hand, Link simply bought a few gifts to take home, and most of the remaining funds were transferred to his credit card after paying high taxes.
Speaking of a movie "Decisive Blackjack" that I had watched in my previous life, the card counting team of the protagonist and his party chose to stuff a bundle of cash into their clothes and smuggle it back in order to avoid high taxes.
Although there is no need to lose so much money, the risk is really not small, and in Link's opinion, it is not necessary at all, and Link, who has always been stable, would rather lose some money than provoke the IRS in the United States.
