(So, what are they doing in such a dirty place?)

A sanitary dead end in the urban area is a sparse forest. The forest is littered with stinking garbage and tattered waste. Some asbestos tile bamboo sheds that are so simple that they don't even have doors are scattered among them. The wooden shed is full of old and weak scavengers. It's hard to imagine that in this dirty and dilapidated environment that is rarely patronized, there has been a lot of people coming and going recently. And judging from the grade of these cars, it can be seen that if their owners are not the likes of fine clothes and food, they will definitely be hard-working men. So, what are they doing in such a dirty place if they don't leave the stage and dance pavilion?

The mystery was soon revealed, after a section of about fifty meters of dirt road in the forest, in front of me was an open land surrounded by a half-human high brick wall, and in the two newly built iron houses on the ground, shouting, laughing, screaming, and sighing mixed with the noise of the city's super large decibels, diffused into the solidified air, making people feel that under the huge psychological oppression, there was a strange excitement of expectation. This is a newly opened casino with Scarface Chang and Fu Bu Kai and braised meat. There are special people at the door to watch the wind, there are thugs watching the scene indoors, and some scantily clad women are pulling the field. In addition to enjoying free cigarettes and fast food, everyone who comes to participate in gambling can also receive a 100 yuan support fee per day. The casino's method of making profits is a commission of 10% of the total number of wins and losses per hand. Although their scene is not big, at the end of the day, their income is more than 100,000 yuan, and less than 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. In addition to several organization planners on the scene, there are also some people behind the scenes who have a lot of influence in the local area.

When the leopard first came with braised meat, it was a bet on the three princes with playing cards. Because the three princes are compared to the suit according to the number of points, the dealer does not have the possibility of killing the same point and eating deflated ten, so he cannot take advantage. The player can bet selectively according to the door of life and death and the banker's fortune. This kind of gambling, if there is no extraordinary means, is basically a banker loses and wins. As a result, many people see sitting in the bank as dangerous. But the leopard sees sitting in the bank as an opportunity.

The leopard and the braised meat sat together several times in a row, and no one dared to bet until the end. After everyone gets nearly 100,000 yuan, they will only have to be a player.

The leopard visited Ying Biao from under the cypress tree and came to the casino again, where he no longer gambled on the three princes, but changed to a new way of playing called pushing the tube. Some places are called board nines. It is a cuboid set of 20 hard plastic bets, each card in size and shape equivalent to a piece of chewing gum. Usually white on blue surface, from one tube to nine tubes plus two whiteboards, a total of ten pairs. Each time it is divided into half cards and five doors, according to the sum of the points of the two cards. The largest pair of whiteboards has a minimum of 10 points. The dealer plays the head, and there is a full-time Dutch split. This gambling method has two major advantages, one is to eat the stick, that is, when the dealer and the idle take exactly the same card, the dealer Daewoo player; The second is to eat deflated ten, that is, the Zhuang and the idle are ten points, and the dealer is greater than the player. The leopard was not familiar with this kind of play at the beginning, so he became a player. But this time she wasn't as comfortable as she had been. After half a month, he not only lost all the money he made from gambling with Sangong, but also lost all the money he won from the bullfighting at Zhulin Wharf. He couldn't see the doorway, he only felt depressed, even if he gambled on luck, it couldn't be so weak! When he came to the cypress tree in disgrace and told Ying Biao about the situation, Ying Biao didn't believe that it would be so evil. At this time, Ying Biao's leg injury had healed, and he wanted to go with the leopard to see it. When entering the casino, Ying Biao also felt that this gambling method was fresh. He watched for a while, then followed the others to place a bet, but suffered the same fate as the leopard. Bet where to lose. After losing all the more than 2,000 yuan in cash, he went to the ATM to swipe his 10,000 yuan card. When the gambling reached more than ten o'clock in the evening, all the money went into the sea and there was no sound.

The leopard gambled today because he was in a hurry, and he was extremely unwilling to be a good audience. But he didn't look stupid, but kept paying attention to every detail in the field. As the so-called bystander Qing, he seems to have some clues. When she left the casino, she pulled Ying Biao under a tree, "Brother Biao, I think there is something wrong with the casino. ”

"What's the problem? Be clear. Seeing the leopard's solemn expression, Ying Biao said calmly.

"One is that the dealer's eyes are very strange, always staring at the back of the card. I doubt he knows the cards. The second is that the dealer's coloring technique is very special, almost every time three dice can rotate on the table at the same time. The third is that the money will be discounted when the hand raises, so that the percentage of the casino rake is far more than ten points. The leopard thought as he recalled.

"Is there such a god?" Ying Biao pondered for a while and said, "Leopard, you won't be in a hurry to lose the rotten family's name, right?" ”

"I'm not a good person, but I'm not a villain." The leopard was a little emotional, "Brother Biao, don't you know me?" ”

"Just kidding. Go back and rest, and gamble tomorrow. After Ying Biao finished speaking, he rode a motorcycle, said goodbye to the leopard and went back to the cypress tree.

To prove his suspicions, the leopard went to the side of the bus station early the next morning and found an amusement store. And learn about the relevant password cards, scraping cards, potion cards, magnetic code cards; fixed-point color, mercury, rotating color; Invisible perspective glasses, pinhole cameras, computer analyzers, program controllers; Changing the card clothes, changing the card bag, changing the card table and other thousands of props. I also saw some knocking color fixed points, slippery drift fixed points, rotating fixed points from the shop owner, prostitutes stealing dragons and phoenixes, transferring flowers and trees, and Li Dai Taozhuang's card changing methods.

Under the recommendation of the shopkeeper, the leopard also paid 800 yuan to learn a set of formula cards that calculate the winning points according to mathematical probabilities and through the fixed order of the cards. The operation process is that the dealer quickly recognizes and remembers the number of each card from the edge of the back of the card through processing and polishing, or directly uses prop cards, and then puts it on the table from left to right in the order of one, two, three, four, and five from weak crescendo. If you want to kill the head, you will play the head from the right, and if you want to kill the tail, you will play the head from the left. If the cards are placed in the form of one, four, two, five, three, then the chance of killing the third from the right is greater, and the chance of killing the fourth from the left is greater. Playing formula cards generally uses regular dice, and whoever plays color is the same thing. After mastering these techniques, the leopard came to Ying Biao's house non-stop.

"Brother Biao, there is a problem." The leopard stood and gave Ying Biao what he saw and learned.

Ying Biao was skeptical, "Leopard, what you said is too mysterious, is it so complicated?" ”

"I know you won't believe it, it seems that I have to show my ugliness in front of Brother Biao today." As he spoke, the leopard entered the hall and brought out a chair and a square stool, and placed them in front of Ying Biao, who was sitting on the steps basking in the sun. He and Ying Biao sat face to face, placed a small square stool between the two of them, and then took out a deck of cards prepared in advance from his pocket and played a card trick. He first lit up the "ups and downs", "the organ is brilliant", "peacock opens the screen", "flying straight down" and other opening kung fu, and immediately played "Feiyan cut tail", "galloping horse homecoming", "falling colorful", "pointing to the country" and other shuffling skills. Next, it shows the "sky is high and the earth is thick", "a line apart", "turning clouds and rain", "staggered" and other control methods. When demonstrating a thousand moves, but seeing his palm shadow flying, a "cloud to see the sun", a "push the window to look at the moon", a will "steal the peach under the leaves", a will "the dragon ascends to the sky", a series of cards, stacking cards, stealing cards, changing cards and other cheating methods to show the gods. Finally, with a flick of his fingers, a high-speed rotating card shot out with a strong wind, and actually cut off a wrist-thick loofah hanging from the melon shed at the door.

Ying Biao rubbed his eyes, making sure that the scene that happened in front of him was not after watching the movie, and pretended to be angry and said: "Leopard, it's really dangerous to be friends with you, it's so deeply hidden." ”

"I'm afraid that you will be disgusted with these bad methods to hide it from you, who told you to be so serious about everything!" When the leopard explained, he looked very aggrieved.

"So, the money at the Bamboo Forest Wharf was also won by ghosts?" Ying Biao recalled the leopard's skill in holding a cigarette between his fingers and what he said about the three old hens, and now he finally understood what was going on. He felt uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help but pity Leng Qiongyan. Fortunately, he didn't ask her for money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to forgive himself even if he was willing to forgive the leopard.

"This," Hearing Ying Biao mention the matter of the dock, the leopard was a little weak and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, let's not talk about those bad things, you can go back to dinner." Ying Biao covered his mouth and yawned, "I'm a little sleepy, I want to take a nap." ”

"Are you going to the casino in the afternoon?" The leopard asked in a low voice.

"Let's talk about it when we wake up." Ying Biao made a goodbye gesture to the leopard.

"Okay, I'll go first." The leopard wanted to go to the casino with Ying Biao after lunch, but he didn't expect Ying Biao to let him go, and he was really entangled in his heart.
