After the imposing appearance, the owner's speech was unexpectedly ordinary. He thanked everyone present for their arrival, and announced the official start of tonight's gambling after confirming that the ship had sailed to the open sea. Then he left the scene the same way he came, under the watchful eyes of the present. When he first left, those magnates were still somewhat restrained, as if they were still immersed in the solemn sense of coercion just now.

But as the Catwoman dealers were in place, some people began to gamble, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Although she had been staring at the "Mr. Ponytail", Xiang Yun did not choose to enter the other party's table at the first time, but chose the one next to her, because she instinctively felt that the other party would not end easily.

Sure enough, when people began to gather at that table, the young man got up silently and stood aside, consciously giving up his place. From beginning to end, he had his back to Xiang Yun, who couldn't even see his face, and could only feel that the other party's already thin sense of existence weakened again, and even seemed to melt into the shadows of the corner in silence. It was obviously the one who had been sitting there from the beginning, but when the gamblers sat down, it was as if they had completely forgotten his existence.

He just clasped his hands to his chest and quietly observed the situation at the table. The table he was sitting at was playing "roulette", a form of gambling that relied heavily on luck and could be seen as an open-ended version of dice.

The rules of roulette are simple, and the equipment is simple, requiring only a spinning roulette wheel and a small ball rolling in the opposite direction. The wheel is divided into thirty-six equal parts, separated by a partition of eighteen squares of red and black, and the ball rolls on the track to see which one it ends up in.

There are many ways to bet, you can bet on red or black, you can bet on odd or even numbers, and you can buy the size directly like dice, the chances of this practice are half to half, and the odds are double. Gamblers can also vote in intervals, and the odds will rise simultaneously according to the size of the interval. The riskiest way to bet is to bet directly on a single number, so that if you win, the return will be 35 times your stake - of course, all winnings will be settled minus the casino's commission, but this casino allows gamblers to bet while the wheel is spinning until the speed of the ball is reduced to a certain point, which is quite conscientious.

Overall, Roulette is a relatively fair game in this casino, at least on the board. How the dealer toggles the turntable, how to put down the ball, and then how the ball rolls, everything is in plain sight, if anyone cheats, the trajectory of the ball is slightly abnormal, and the insider can see it at a glance.

And in contrast to buy-and-go games, roulette allows gamblers to place bets while the ball is rolling, which opens up opportunities for some who think they have great eyesight. Theoretically, if you can see through the speed change and roll angle of the ball, it is possible to roughly predict where it will fall, but that requires that person to have both machine-level observation accuracy and top-of-the-line computer-level instantaneous computing power, and even if it is really comparable to a computer, it does not ensure that the calculation will be correct, because there are too many random variables in the process. But in any case, it is better to die on your own judgment than in a black box operation, so roulette is always loved by many people.

In the first few rounds, only a handful of bets were placed, but from the fifth game onwards, people who had been watching began to enter the market, and the popularity of roulette became lively. In this process, of course, gamblers win and lose, but the excitement of the game itself is easy to bring the atmosphere up, whether they win or lose, these rich people have more or less put down the previous shelf, revealing a similar side to ordinary gamblers. Soon, the roulette table became the loudest place to play.

I see, because there are so many noisy people, his thin presence can be brought into full play. When Lu Jia leans over again, the two of them will be able to complete the transaction without knowing it......" Xiang Yun thought secretly, "It's a bit troublesome, so it will be very difficult to collect evidence......"

"Hey, Miss Dealer, how long are you going to procrastinate?"

An impatient urge interrupted her thoughts, and Xiang Yun turned her head to see that it was a man with a mustache who spoke. He looked like he should be forty or fifty years old, but there was still a bit of wild and uninhibited boyishness in his eyes. He had already lost millions in the first few rounds, but as if he had just finished warming up, the whole person became excited. At this point he loosened his tie and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, apparently ready to make a big move.

Compared with roulette, which relies on luck, the table that Xiang Yun is in charge of relies more on the mind and calculation ability. She hosts "Blackjack", also known as "Blackjack", which is one of the most common games in the world's casinos, and its rules are also well-known, so I won't repeat them here.

Unlike most gambling games, blackjack can theoretically maximize its own benefits by calculating the value of the card and speculating on the probability of the next card appearing. There was once a book called "Beat the Banker" that described this calculation method in great detail, and there were several mathematicians who actually followed its method into the casino and ended up making a lot of money. It's just that it requires extremely high mental arithmetic ability, and unless you are the kind of person who is gifted, it is difficult to complete such complex calculations in a tense gamble. According to this standard, only a small number of people can use the calculation method to make a profit in the game.

Later, many casinos around the country blacklisted mathematicians, just to prevent these big killers from profiting from blackjack. But casino owners have always welcomed the book, because there are more gamblers who think they have won it after reading it, but in fact they can't handle it, and end up just rushing to give money to the casino.

But the person in front of him is obviously not the kind of fool behind him. In his eyes that seemed to be burning with fighting intent, Xiang Yun saw a calm calculation.

Although it was only a few short rounds, judging from the reactions in the last two rounds, Xiang Yun could already feel that his calculations were becoming more and more handy. The average blackjack game uses four to six decks of cards, and because of the huge library of cards, the impact of probability calculations in the first few rounds is not particularly obvious, so all you can do at this stage is try to remember the cards that have appeared, and leave the rest to luck. By the middle of the game, the difference in computing power will start to affect the hand, and that's when the real showdown begins. If the level of the banker is not enough, it is possible that at this stage it will start to fail.

The man clearly saw that she was absent-minded, so he aimed at such a moment to strike in advance. Not only him, but the other gamblers in the seats were also watching, like sharks cruising in the sea. As soon as they see the dealer show their defeat, these bloodthirsty creatures will rush up and eat their prey clean.

Merely......

Want to challenge me? The corners of Xiang Yun's mouth unconsciously showed a confident smile.

She skillfully cut and shuffled the cards, and then smiled sweetly at the man, "Don't worry, this is coming." ”

As the first card was thrown out of her hand, Xiang Yun's expression changed. The original feeling of absent-mindedness is completely gone, replaced by absolute concentration, and the great sense of oppression that comes with it.

The beard's originally confident expression changed slightly. He subconsciously shook his head, counteracting the slightest wavering in his heart.

"It's okay, it's just a little girl." He muttered to himself softly, but his fingers on the cards couldn't help but start tapping on the table.

After more than ten minutes, Bazihu gradually recognized the reality.

He finally understood that although he was tempting before, Xiang Yun did not try his best. She can deal with the game with just that kind of half-attention, and at this time she can gather her mental strength, which is enough to firmly grasp the game. In the next few games, although the two sides won and lost, most of the chips on the table in the end were piled up in front of Xiang Yun.

"No way, this shouldn't be the case...... You, you, you, you ......"

By this time, the mustache was already sweating profusely, and the tie was completely untied by him, and the button was unbuttoned to the third. He carefully recalled the situation of each game just now, counted the cards and the number of cards that appeared in his heart, recalled every move Xiang Yun had made, and tried to find evidence that she had been a good player. But no matter how he calculated, the final result made him despair.

Everything works fine.

He took the approach with the highest probability of winning as far as he could, and won a few games, but the profit was limited. This is because at these times, Xiang Yun is always able to give up in time and minimize his losses. On the other hand, when Xiang Yun gets an advantage, she can always maximize the benefits by making precise calculations to ensure that she wins. In several unrecognizable situations, Xiang Yun also won an advantage for himself with mental arithmetic ability. Despite the interference of other gamblers around, it obviously had no effect on her.

The facts are already obvious. In this probability game of competing for computing power, Xiang Yun firmly suppressed a group of veterans.

"What a young man, Miss Dealer."

Xiang Yun originally thought that he would not be able to accept the reality and burst out. Who knew that after recognizing the truth, the eight-character beard breathed a sigh of relief. He shoved the remaining chips forward, "You've won, I'll give you the rest." But ......"

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Xiang Yun's face, "It's not the first time I've come, this young lady is a little embarrassed." ”

"Hehe......"

Xiang Yun's nerves had just relaxed a little, because his words suddenly tensed again. The newly defeated opponent seemed to be a different person again, and the eyes that looked at her were full of insight, as if they could peek into the deepest secrets of their hearts all the way. At this moment, Xiang Yun actually felt that his smile was a little stiff.

Fortunately, the sudden burst of cheers at the next table broke her embarrassment in time. The sound resounded through the hall, and even the tables in the distance were peering in this direction. Xiang Yun turned his head, but saw that the "ponytail" had already sat back at the gaming table at some point, and seemed to have become the brightest star at that gaming table. He still had his back to Xiang Yun, and across from him was a dead-faced dealer, and the crowd cheered around him, as if he had just won an incredible victory.

What did he do? Xiang Yun couldn't help but be curious. But in this moment, she was keenly aware of the opportunity contained in it.

"Sister, come for me."

She walked over and tapped the dealer on the shoulder with a reassuring look on her shoulder, replacing it. This move naturally allowed him to escape from the questioning of the mustache-

At the same time, it also gives you the opportunity to observe the target head-on.
