142 - Blackjack
Boxing matches? Chen Chen asked curiously.
Ryan, who was on the side, quickly recovered his expression and explained with a smile, "You should have watched the UFC, unlike the UFC, this kind of boxing is irregular, whether it is hands, legs, or even teeth can be used as weapons. ”
"Yes, although many people like to watch the UFC, what can really stimulate people's animal nature and adrenaline is the unregulated boxing match!"
Davis on the side showed a bloodthirsty smile, "There are no medical staff, no physical examination, no doping test, not even a referee, the difference between victory and defeat, only one side stands, and one side falls." ”
"I really haven't seen this before, so what are you waiting for?" Chen Chen took the lead and walked forward.
Ryan, who was slightly behind, looked at Chen Chen's back, a gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he glanced at Davis on the side.
Davis nodded, and the four quickly followed.
It wasn't until he came to the casino that Chen Chen found that the originally closed door of the casino had been completely opened, and not only that, but there was also a large flow of people inside, and most of the passengers of the cruise ship were gathered here.
Before entering the door, a fiery atmosphere surged out.
"Looks like the people we've invited haven't arrived yet." Ryan said with some regret, "So morning, why don't you have a few rounds of 'Black Jack' with us first?" ”
"'Blackjack' what's that?" Chen Chen asked casually.
"Oh, dear Chen, don't you even know 'Blackjack'?"
Ryan couldn't cry or laugh, so he simply pulled Chen Chen's sleeve and walked inside, "Come, dear Chen, let's teach you a good lesson!" ”
With that, he pulled Chen Chen into the casino.
It wasn't until he completely walked into the casino that Chen Chen somewhat understood why so many successful people with a net worth of hundreds of millions would be so obsessed with this kind of place, and even lost their self-control to gamble wildly, and finally burned everything to the ground.
The interior of the casino is magnificently decorated, with thick carpets, ornate gold inscriptions on the walls, and a huge crystal lamp at the top of the hall, making it a paradise on earth.
But under this splendid decoration, it is a kind of psychological suggestion that is extremely capable -
Here the windows do not see the outside world, so people cannot feel the loss of time;
There is no mirror in which to look at one's own distorted and hideous face;
Also, the considerate service to the extreme, and the chips in the hand that can't feel the money passing, all make people abandon all reason, and can only sink endlessly......
The more hot the casino atmosphere is, the more permeate the air with a "hiss inside" atmosphere.
Walking through the aisle in the center of the casino, Chen Chen had already seen several gamblers who had lost red eyes, they were desperate to push up their chips, panting, and they had lost their due reason.
It took millions of years for humans to evolve sanity, and gamblers abandoned it in just three minutes.
Before Prince Steele invited the eleven chaebols, he said that he would allow these chaebol families to invite their relatives and friends to board the ship, so there would be such a large number of people on board.
Most of these people are in order to get acquainted with more contacts, so they are related to the inferior small chaebols or wealthy businessmen who are on the ship, and even Chen Chen has seen a few Zhongzhou people among them.
At this time, a handsome young man with long brown hair passed by Chen Chen, and at the same time kept explaining to his companions:
"This is the last time I buy chips, this 4 million is my last stubbornness, you can't see me charge a dollar in this casino again, I want to win 400 million for this 4 million!"
Chen Chen shook his head slightly, it's not so easy to win 400 million in the casino......
Ryan and Davis pulled Chen Chen to a gaming table, which was marked with a "Blackjack" prompt, and according to several people, this was Blackjack.
"Blackjack, it's actually 21 o'clock."
Ryan quickly explained to Chen Chen, "First take two to three decks of cards, each of which eliminates two trump cards, the rest of the cards, 2 to 9 are recorded as the corresponding points, 10, J, Q, K are recorded as 10 points, A is recorded as 1 or 11 points depending on the situation, the game is very simple, players can continue to take cards, by virtue of the number of points in the hand than the size, but the total sum of the maximum can only be 21 points, more than 21 points is "wear the card" direct failure, the same number is a draw. ”
"So who am I comparing myself to?" Chen Chen asked.
"It's the dealer." Davis pointed to the sexy dealer across the table and said, "The two sides of the game are divided into the dealer and the player, all players only need to compare the size with the dealer, and we players don't need to compare with each other." ”
"That's right, wait for all players to finish taking cards, before the turn of the dealer to look at the cards, the rules of the dealer are: greater than or equal to 17 points, then do not take the cards, otherwise take the cards until 17 points, bust all players win."
Ryan added, "Tonight's bookmaker is Prince Leicester, who has sponsored $100,000 for each of us. ”
As Ryan spoke, a casino staff member took out a few chips and handed them to everyone, and Chen Chen also picked a few and held them in his hand.
"Let's have a game, then." Davis couldn't wait, "I'm already itching my hands." ”
As he spoke, he sat down in his chair and cast his chips, signaling the dealer on the other side of the table to deal his cards.
Chen Chen shook his head, also sat on the No. 2 seat on the side, and threw two chips.
For the first time, Chen Chen got a hole card and an open card, the hole card is the 2 of spades, and the face card is the 10 of diamonds.
Chen Chen frowned, 2 and 10 are added, just a number that is not up or down, if you continue to take the cards, the next card may directly burst, if you choose to end the card, the probability of losing is also very huge.
Immediately, Chen Chen looked at the dealer opposite, and the dealer had 7 points on his face.
"Mr. No. 1, do you want to continue bidding?" The dealer followed the process and began to ask Ryan's opinion.
"Damn, I don't want it anymore!"
Ryan scolded with a smile, and the card on his face was the 10 of hearts, the same as Chen Chen.
A game of chance? This kind of gameplay seems to be solved by mathematics......
Seeing this, Chen Chen couldn't help but tilt his head.
[My point is 12 points, the dealer card is 7 points, if I choose to end the card, then according to the rule that Ryan just said 'the dealer must be greater than or equal to 17 points', there is only one way for me to win, that is, the dealer busts. 】
[Set the probability of the dealer busting is P (S), then, at this time the dealer's hole cards have 13 possibilities: T on behalf of 10, J, Q, K, then F (T + 7), the dealer does not draw cards will not bust, do not consider ......]
[F(9+7), draw 6~T then bust, F(9+7)=8/13...... And so on, the final P(S)=∑F=0.26231]
[That is, at this point, I end up taking the card, and the chance of winning is 26.231%]
Chen Chen glanced at Ryan and Davis beside him and continued to think.
[However, if I continue to draw cards, there will be two situations to win: 1. I will not wear the next card, and the dealer will wear the card; 2. The dealer and I will not wear cards, but I have more points, this probability can be set as: P(H)]
[The probability of the dealer wearing the card is the same, but if it is the second case, then it is divided into four situations, P1, I get 21 points, the dealer gets 20 to 17 points; P2, I get 20 points, the dealer gets 19 to 17 points; P3, I get 19 points, the dealer gets 18 to 17 points; P4, I got 18 points, the dealer got 17 points......]
[Let's analyze first, if the next card I draw, the points are from 12 to 13, then it means that I drew A, so you can set W(12)=1, then W(13)=W(12)×1/13=0.07692]
[From this, it can be deduced that W(18), and the dealer takes 17 points, and Z(17) can be calculated with the same reason, so the formula for the fourth possibility is P4=W(18)+Z(17), and the same can be calculated as P1, P2, P3......]
[Therefore, when the probabilities of the four cases are added, it is P(H)=P1+P2+P3+P4+P(S)×9/13=0.43577]
[In other words, when I continue to draw cards, my win rate is 43.577%, which is higher than the win rate of ending the draw......]
All this seemed to be a long time, but it was just a flash in Chen Chen's mind, and when Chen Chen raised his head again, it was just his turn to speak.
"Mr. 2, do you want to continue bidding?" The dealer asked softly.
"One more."
