Chapter 411: Gambling
As Su Wen and Pharos sat down, the atmosphere in the gambling game was actually a little quieter.
Su Wen sat in Shirley's position, which was equivalent to helping Shirley fight, and Pharos joined as a new player. Therefore, there are a total of seven people at this table who continue to participate in this gambling game.
"Hahaha, the more people the more fun, the more fun it is, then I'll continue to shuffle the cards?" Mia said as she shuffled the playing cards into three different tricks in her hand, which can also be seen from here Mia's superb attainments in playing cards.
Except for Mia, the way everyone else shuffles is just the most ordinary one.
"Do you all know the rules?"
"No problem. Su Wen waved his hand, and Pharos nodded as well.
The family in Snow Castle didn't know Pharos. Su Wen's introduction to Pharos is quite vague, but judging from Ellie and Mia's attitudes, this person seems to be their acquaintance, so there is probably no problem.
But Pharos's expressionless face made the Snow Castle family look at it unconsciously. Just a zombie face doesn't matter, the key is that on Pharos, like Su Wen, there is a layer of weak aura floating on his body, but he doesn't feel so weak...... Even, it made Shirley feel a little scared.
Rosen, with his intuition, also thought that Pharos was a hidden master.
"Raise the cards?" Mia asked, pushing the pile into the middle.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Ellie couldn't wait to reach out and lift the pile three times, and finally patted the top card as a prayer for good luck.
This action is actually to prevent the shuffler from cheating. But for the best players, the effect of such an action is also minimal. Because it's not all about the deck.
Of course, it is impossible for Mia to play with these friends, even if she really knows some tricks in the mouths of the thousands, and the level is not low.
The first round of cards began to touch the cards from Su Wen, and after taking a look at the hole cards, Su Wen said softly 5 bronze.
The minimum bet of the game is 5 copper, looking at Su Wen's expression, probably because he didn't want to lose the luck of the first family, he just shouted to try the water.
Pharos glanced at the cards, then folded.
The rest of the guys, with the exception of Kelsey and Roland, all called, and no one raised.
"Is it so harmonious?" asked Ellie, seemingly reluctantly.
Su Wen sighed, this Ellie was simply expressing to others, "Since I'm not the tail family, then can I wait for the later raise, and then raise the bet to eat a wave of test money, anyway, my hole cards are good".
What's more, really good players rarely show emotions when playing cards, and the more they perform, the more clues they will leave for others.
Confusing the opponent? non-existent!
Unless your acting skills make it to the Hall of Fame of the Imperial Academy, and your opponents are ordinary people.
The game continued, everyone in turn touched their second card, turned over, this time, the highest point is Lawson, Lawson card is suited, everyone else, are numbers.
However, Lawson only casually proposed to open the cards directly, and after that, no one raised. After all, your hand is too small, and there are no clues that your hole cards are too large, and no one wants to bluff with very few stakes.
So this first game is simply compared with 5 copper. In the end, it was Lawson who won.
"Ah, the cards drawn out are too small......" Su Wen threw out 5 coppers, a little regretful, because his hole cards were the same as Lawson's.
"Ahhhh
The game was harmonious, but Su Wen clearly felt that Mia, Balot, and Kelsey were all looking at him frequently, as if they were observing their expressions, trying to deduce their own playing style.
Knowing themselves and knowing that they are invincible, these people are really quite smart.
As for Ellie...... Ellie, forget it, she is fully engaged in the game, just pay attention to her hole cards and deal cards is very nervous, how can she have time to care about other people's expressions?
Therefore, it is a matter of course to lose money. But in some ways, Ellie is the one who enjoys playing cards the most, and the process of turning over unknown cards in anticipation of a big number is also one of the funs.
The game continues.
Rosen raised his hand and spoke. Probably because the number of hole cards is not up or down, a little embarrassed, I want to see the situation in the rear, and then decide whether I want to try the water or throw the cards.
But in this game, their respective hole cards seem to be up and down. Eventually, everyone but Mia and Pharos got involved.
Lawson flipped over the cards, stunned, and quietly rejoiced, because his card type this time was exactly a pair! a pair of 10! not big, not too small, but a pair!
Although Lawson is already trying to hide his joy, he is still seen by some people. For example, Mia, for example, his own sister Barot, who is most familiar with him.
"Twenty bronze!" Ellie revealed the old K she had touched, and raised the stakes with great vigour.
"Follow. β
"Follow. β
"Follow. β
Unexpectedly, the people behind also called, and when it was Rosen's turn, Rosen hesitated, still did not raise, and said a follow.
Rosen was also gambling, because he saw Roland's expression, and was clearly eager to try, obviously with a good hand, and wanted to be the last one to raise the ante again.
"Fifty bronze!" Roland pulled out the bill and pushed it forward, his eyes revealing a small smugness, as if he had won the battle.
But Rosen noticed that Roland's hand was 8. In other words, no matter what Roland's hole cards are, he has already won.
Sure enough, at the moment when Roland shouted, most of the others, including Su Wen, covered the card back and threw out 20 coppers. Their cards are not good, and it is also a very wise decision to stop losses in time.
"Surprised your pair?" Ellie frowned, gauging Roland's expression, and then kept looking at her hole cards, as if weighing Roland's odds of getting a pair.
"Since it's an 8, I remember if any of you touched an 8 just now? So the possibility of you getting a pair...... Tsk tsk. β
Ellie was still thinking, but Roland wasn't panicking at all.
At this time, the attention of the card game was also focused on the two of them, and naturally they ignored Lawson, who was still holding the cards and did not move. Of course, Rosen also needs such an environment, because he still wants to take advantage of this one to make more money, so it's better not to attract their attention.
After they speculated with each other, they jumped out of the yellow finch again!
"My card...... "Ellie's hole cards don......'t seem to be small, and if Roland is bluffing, it would be a wasteful card.
After a brief thought, Ellie gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe you're a couple!"
As she spoke, Ellie was about to turn the cards over.
"Wait!" Lawson hurriedly stopped Ellie, and smiled, "It's time for me to speak, right?
Raise!?
When Rosen spoke, people's attention turned back.
Lawson's hand is 10, and looking at his calm appearance, it seems that he has already eaten that Roland cannot be bigger than him.
In this way, Roland, who originally thought that he was safe to win, suddenly turned into a frowning thinking look. Roland thought for a while, looked at his gambling book again, and still uttered a short syllable: "Follow!"
It's hard to get a pair, there's no reason not to follow!
"One silver is one silver!" Ellie was also very relieved, ready to open the cards.
"You only win me 1 to 10!"
"Haha, I'm a pair of 10s!"
Rosen smiled, and under the eyes of Roland, who had a sad face, he held the banknote together.
"Then you lost!" Ellie suddenly flipped over her shuffle and pushed it out with a grin: "A pair of Ks, you guys lost, right?"
Rosen's smile froze as he stared at the two cards that Ellie had pushed outβone was a K, and the other was a K. A pair of kings, which is bigger than Lawson's pair of 10s.
Ellie won.
"Wow, why are you hiding so deeply!!!" Lawson patted his head, he didn't expect Ellie to be the last yellow finch to laugh.
"That's it, you won't be so calm when you get a pair of kings!" Although Rosen was not the final winner and made Roland feel better, he still joined the team to defeat Ellie: "If you get a pair, you can't raise the stakes like crazy??"
"Hee-hee-hee! I didn't expect it!" Ellie, without much explanation, took the bill back from Lawson. Because it was a pair, the stake was doubled.
Even Ellie can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Ellie's ploy was quite successful this time, and it won her a lot of money, but it was based on many previous failures and money thrown out of water.
This success made this girl quite happy.
"Wow! I've only got a little bit left......" Roland's face had barely regained a little of its complexion, and then it became depressed again with the loss of the banknotes.
"Alas!" Rosen also sighed, obviously quite unwilling.
Others, who were onlookers, also lamented Ellie's dramatic victory.
The gamble continues.
After a few more rounds of a deck of cards, Pharos followed for the first time. Everyone else was quite surprised, and at the same time, they finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
This person...... Finally called......
So, what he got should be a big name, right?
Other people's hole cards are not small, and there is no reason to throw them, so this game also followed.
However, the results of the dealings were more disastrous.
Except for Fallows, who took an ace, the rest of the people were small numbers. So, before Pharos could raise, everyone else threw their cards into the waste pile and gave away their bets.
"Did you all throw it away?" asked Pharos, a little surprised.
"yes, your card is so big, how can we compare ......"
"That's right......" Pharos turned over his hole cards as if he didn't understand.
A 3.
Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Pharos threw the cards into the line, touched a card, and began the next round of betting.
This Pharos, why is he so black??
"That...... 3, it's a little bigger than 2, and if it's a pair, it's also the smallest......" Seeing this, Shirley couldn't help but kindly remind.
"yes, I know. Phalos nodded calmly, leaving Shirley unsure of what to answer.
Mia's performance in these rounds was much quieter. Obviously, she was looking at the styles of the two new players, and after doing so, Mia gave a rough guess about the playing styles of Su Wen and Pharos.
Su Wen probably belongs to the type of steady and steady, but occasionally she will test the waters with small cards, which is considered an ordinary level player, and Pharos, she is a little unable to see through.
Because Pharos often behaves unusually, which is completely inconsistent with Mia's experience.
However, the win rate of Pharos is not too high, on the contrary, it is slightly outlet.
Sure enough, if you don't follow the rules, it's hard to win money......
In the next round, after participating in the 50 bronze bet, Pharos, who was the tail family, suddenly calmly raised the bet to one silver.
It's been a long time since I've played a big game! Everyone else's hole cards are not small, so naturally there is no reason to back down!
If this momentum continues, the total amount of wins and losses after that is likely to be around a few tens of silver! When Su Wen and Pharos did not participate, there had already been many such battles between Ellie Barot and Mia!
Roland didn't get involved, and Lawson, who was going to try his luck, gritted his teeth and thought about it for a while, he still folded his cards and gave away fifty coppers, his card was only J, and if the stakes increased, the risk would increase, and he still wanted to avoid it as much as possible.
"Oh, so many people? Interesting......" Mia smiled and began to touch the cards.
"Wow, when you smile now, I think I'm unstable again......" Ellie pouted and glanced at Mia complainingly.
"When did you stabilize ......?"
"Just now!!"
Then, in turn, everyone took turns to touch the cards back in turn.
The result is interesting.
Kelsey suddenly frowned, sighed, and threw the cards along with the bets. Obviously, she had a bad hand.
After observation, Su Wen found that even though Kelsey played very steadily, her bet money was only in and out. This girl's luck is indeed a bit tragic......
But it can also be seen from Kelsey's strong face that this girl seems to have cultivated a copper skin and iron bone that is not afraid of hardships and a diamond heart that is inviolable.
If Kelsey wasn't a fairly intelligent rational person, she would probably have found the grave of the author of the book "Probability" and burned him a letter refuting "Probability".
What probability...... Inexistent...... It's all losing, it's all losing......
But now is not the time to sympathize with Kelsey.
Because, everybody, turned over the card in their face.
