Chapter Seventy-Seven: Dafang Gambling Bank
Dafang gambling village sits in the north and faces south, it can be said that it occupies the best piece of feng shui treasure land in Baihuazhou, there are two big stone lions at the door, the gate is four meters wide, Chen Fan when they go, there are only two small people who look clear and beautiful by the door to welcome guests, Chen Fan and their twelve students plus Huang Shi and Hou Feng have entered the gambling house.
At this time, just after noon, everyone has basically visited Baihuazhou, mainly to play in a fancy way, look around, have a meal at Yipinju at noon, and then under Chen Fan's proposal, everyone came to this generous gambling house.
Dafang gambling house is very spacious, there is a gambling table more than half a person high, I didn't see a stool, everyone was standing, the main game was dice, betting on the size, Chen Fan was not interested in this kind of unsure thing, and directly swept away, but some classmates stopped and took out money to try their skills.
Chen Fan turned around and didn't see the handicap for betting on Faqing's victory or defeat, not only was he a little curious, but he immediately found a service guy and consulted.
"Xiao Er, I heard that some gambling houses have opened a handicap about betting on the victory or defeat of Faqing, why haven't you seen it here?"
"Oh, the guest officer doesn't know, this is the lobby, mainly to bet on the size, if the guest officer wants to bet on Faqing's handicap, please come with me, set up in our back hall."
"Okay, take us around." At this time, Chen Fan still had the three people in the A-shaped room by his side, as well as Xiao Qing, Huang Shi, and Hou Feng, Chen Fan was not afraid of what tricks this little guy could play.
"Please follow me. At first glance, the guest officers are rich and noble, but the first time you come to our gambling house? ”
"Yes, we just go around casually, how can this Faqing's handicap be set up in the inner hall?"
"The guest officials don't know, and ordinary people don't care about what happened in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and no one cares about it in the outer hall, but this inner hall is used by us to entertain distinguished guests. Here, please take a look, that is, to set up the Faqing handicap. ”
Needless to say, Chen Fan has already seen it, this is a hall, walk in and set up a counter in front of the wall on the left, the bamboo sign with the date is pasted on the wall, and below is the odds, and there is a middle-aged shopkeeper standing behind the counter in front of the wall.
"Guys, are you going to bet?" The shopkeeper saw that everyone was coming and going to him, and took the initiative to greet him.
"We're going to find out first, I wonder if you can tell us about this date and what the odds are going on first?" Although Chen Fan probably knows, he hasn't played it after all, so he should be cautious.
"Oh, our gambling house set up a handicap for Faqing, and bet on how long Faqing can last in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The duration of the revolt is calculated from the 28th of August during the uprising, which is the opening day of the gambling contract set up by the bankery, and from then on, to the time when Faqing is captured, killed, or loses all occupied cities, which is the remaining time of the uprising. You see this date, November 28, February 28, May 28, and August 28 next year, which correspond to the duration of Fa Qing Neng for three months, six months, nine months, and one year, respectively. Now from November 28th, it has been less than three months, at present most people think that Faqing can hold on to more than this date, so now bet for three months, the odds are four to one, bet on forty taels of silver, can win ten taels, but in fact can only win nine taels, because we bet on the bank to draw a bonus from the winner's winnings, which can be regarded as a little joy. ”
"Are your odds fixed or changing?" Chen Fan remembered that Lu Yan had said that the odds for three months were three to one, and now it is four to one, I don't know if it is the reason for different gambling houses, or due to the time relationship, the people who bet are changing, and the odds are changing.
"This odds are constantly changing, you now buy Faqing to insist until November 28th, the odds are four to one, if to November later, the odds may be ten to one, or may not be able to bet, because no one bet on Faqing to lose, naturally we will no longer take the bet. This is different from rolling dice, our gambling house only collects bonuses and does not participate in the gambling game. ”
"Thanks, let's see." Chen Fan didn't decide to bet now, for Chen Fan, it is now a loss of four, and the news of Faqing's victory will come later, maybe it will become a loss of ten for one, so it doesn't hurt to wait.
"Then do you want to go inside to play with two hands, our inner hall is a room and a gaming table, so you can have a good time." The little guy who had been accompanying him next to him took over and said.
"But someone wants to play with both hands?" Chen Fan asked everyone.
"We'll see." Wu Tong, who was next to him, saw Chen Fan sweeping his gaze towards them and replied.
"What about Master Huang?" Chen Fan felt that if he could win money by betting on the size, it should be Huang Shi who had this ability.
"Since you're here, let's go in and have fun together." Huang Shi suggested.
"Okay, then Xiao Er, you lead the way, and we'll play casually." Chen Fan answered.
"Okay, everyone, please come with me." The little servant happily agreed, and led everyone into a private room.
There was only one table in the private room, and there was a beautiful woman standing in front of the table, looking about twenty years old and graceful.
"This little Yan girl is our newly arrived dealer, and she will roll the dice for you today."
"Okay, thank you Xiaoer." Chen Fan nodded, thanked Xiao Yan, and then said to Xiao Yan: "Dealer, this is the first day I have entered the gambling house, you can tell us how to play first?" ”
"Okay, Lang Jun." The girl's voice was crisp, her expression was calm, and she said slowly with a smile: "Lang Jun, please see, there are three dice here, each dice is six-sided, the points are from one point to six points, three dice, put it in this small jar, this jar is called a shake cylinder, shake it after the lid, and the points shaken out are three to eighteen, if the three dice are the same as three one, three two, it is called a leopard, the dealer eats all, no matter how big or small the bet is, the money belongs to the dealer." If it is not a leopard, it will be from four to ten, and the point is small; Eleven o'clock to seventeen o'clock for the big (three and eighteen o'clock must be a leopard), bet on the right, by the dealer 1 to 1 compensation, bet wrong, the money to the dealer, you Lang Jun can also understand? ”
"Then if I bet on the leopard, what is the bet?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
"This bet on the leopard, Lang Jun please look at this gambling table, in the bet on the size of the top written leopard two words, and then one to six points, Lang Jun if the money on a point, means that the bet is each dice out of one, if the bet is right, then the money on the table, regardless of the size of the Lang Jun owned, in addition to the dealer and a loss of six, is considered a reward for the bet. What doubts does Lang Jun still have? ”
"No, let's get started."
"Okay, then I'll start shaking the cylinder first." I saw Xiaoyan put the three dice into the jar, closed the lid and began to shake.
Chen Fan's eyes were fixed on the shaking cylinder, and he listened carefully to the sound coming from the shaking cylinder with his ears. Now Chen Fan, the perception of the five senses has been greatly improved, and he can clearly hear the sound of the dice inside, but unfortunately he has not been exposed to it before, and he does not know what the number of points represented by different sounds is every time he hits.
Also, the dealer on the opposite side is a little far away from Chen Fan, and there is a gambling table in the middle, Chen Fan's current consciousness can only extend about one meter, and he can't reach the dealer, otherwise he can grasp the dealer's movements more clearly.
However, Chen Fan still tried to scan his divine consciousness within a distance of about one meter, and the results could be clearly displayed in his mind. Huang Shi was very close to Chen Fan, Chen Fan's divine sense swept over his body, and Huang Shi seemed to sense something and looked at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan was shocked in his heart, but his eyes were still fixed on the shaking cylinder, looking focused, his divine sense slid over Huang Shi's body, and his face did not show the slightest abnormality. Fortunately, Huang Shi only glanced at Chen Fan, and then looked at the dealer, and he should have found no abnormality.
The dealer put down the shaker in his hand and said, "You can start betting." The minimum bet is 10 cents per bet. ”
Chen Fan immediately set his eyes on Huang Shi and said, "Huang Shi, you decide, let Hou Feng bet." "Chen Fan is ready to be a hands-off shopkeeper, just to learn.
Huang Shi smiled and said, "Then bet on twenty wen, bet big." Hou Feng immediately put twenty articles on the big one.
"But there are still people with Zhuang? If you don't, it's open. The dealer said with a smile.
Chen Fan really wants to bet another twenty wen and buy a small one, so that as long as it is not a leopard, it will be a situation where there is no loss or gain. And Chen Fan can be sure that it is not a leopard inside, because although he does not know the size of the specific points, the sound of the three dice at the end is not consistent, and the possibility of the same face is almost non-existent.
However, this kind of thought just flashed in Chen Fan's mind, think about it or forget it, this is to play, it is normal to win or lose, if it is a small bet, it is not against Huang Shi, and if it is not lost or won every time, then let this beautiful dealer work in vain, and the people around him will probably feel that they are petty, or not squeak, look.
At this moment, the dealer saw that no one was with Zhuang, and shouted in his mouth: "Open." ”
As the dealer unveiled the shaker, it was two, three, fifty points small, and lost.
When Chen Fan saw that he had lost, he was not annoyed, but his heart moved, and he was a little happy.
Just now, Chen Fan clearly sensed the position of the three dice falling in the tank, as well as the size of the sound, the sound of two o'clock is the loudest, followed by three o'clock, and then five o'clock, as long as there is a rule to follow, it is not difficult to judge the size of the points, Chen Fan suddenly came to the spirit.
