Chapter 20: Alice Tang Wei

"Wow!"

"I actually won again!"

"Awesome, awesome!"

I don't know when it started, but a 21-point card table not far away was full of people, and from time to time there was a burst of exclamations, which attracted the attention of the dealer who dealt the cards to Locke.

Listening to the discussion of those onlookers, one gambler used $1,000 and has won almost $30,000 so far, and most of the nearby gamblers have gathered around at this time.

In the casino, with red is also the consensus of everyone, after all, sometimes people's luck comes up, it is really God blocking and killing God, Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

At this time, you will definitely be able to win money, and it is also the luck of some people.

However, there is also a premise for this, that is, to control your greed and know when to withdraw, because if it continues, no matter how great the fortune is, it will be exhausted, and then the situation will be reversed, and it may even be reversed.

The dealer saw a lot of this, and at this time he just sighed in his heart for a little luck, and then found that Locke was sitting in place and didn't move, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, don't you play two games with the past?" ”

"No, I'm actually pretty good luck today." Locke smiled.

"Indeed." The dealer nodded in agreement, and glanced at the chips in Locke's hand, which had changed from $1,000 at the beginning to more than $4,000 now.

"Almost." After the next $300 in his account, Rock did not choose to continue, but threw a chip to the dealer as a tip, put away today's harvest and got up to leave.

Seeing that Locke did not stay and chose to change chips, the dealer said in his heart that this is a smart person who knows how to accept when he sees a good one.

Converting the chips he had gained into cash, Locke switched to another medium-sized casino, which was also to avoid attracting attention, one casino won a part, and one shot was exchanged for another place, as much as possible.

In fact, he has little interest in gambling, and this time he came to earn a living expenses, and he does not plan to come here often, delaying the time to learn and brush up on skills.

On the first night, Locke changed casinos, went back to his room in the morning and rested for the morning, then changed to a luxury hotel, had lunch, and changed his outfit from top to bottom at a nearby mall, leaving his shopping certificate behind.

These are tax-deductible, and these shopping lists will come in handy when Rock is ready to leave Las Vegas.

Locke didn't plan to risk strapping stacks of cash around in order to escape a tax, as the team in the blackjack movie did.

The tax payout after winning here is indeed terrifying, basically close to fifty percent, but for Locke, the small benefit saved by tax evasion is far from enough for him to risk being troubled by the IRS.

Out of the mall, Locke has been replaced with high-end brands, let the mall deliver the rest of the purchased goods to the hotel room, and he came to the splendid Caesars Palace Hotel.

After a round around the hall, Locke came to the VIP area.

The grade here is obviously much higher, Locke, who has already had confidence, is relaxed at this time, and there are more masters of the big casino, he plans to play casually and lose a little first, so he chooses to sit down at a baccarat table and put down his chips.

After the dealer dealt the cards, he learned with great interest the classic card posture he had seen in the gambling movie in his previous life, and slowly unveiled the card there, secretly aiming at it with his eyes.

This feeling of not having to think about calculations, just looking at luck, is quite interesting to experience once in a while.

At this time, a fragrant wind hit, and then a pleasant female voice came into my ears.

"Three-sided, three-sided, top, top!"

This is the classic bidding, as Locke finally opened the card, I didn't expect to really win the bidding behind him.

He turned his head to take a look, but saw a young and delicate girl standing next to him wearing a tight suit and a small red skirt, and couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes.

In Caesars Palace Hotel, beautiful women are not uncommon, although he is not well-informed, but he has experienced top beauties, and he has long been able to do it without being shocked, he was surprised by the familiar appearance of the beauties around him, which made him think of BJ meeting Wen Jiajia in Seattle.

And looking at the other party's youthful appearance, he should be less than twenty years old.

There was interest in his heart, but Locke remained silent on his face, and after the dealer pushed the winning chips over, he casually handed a hundred chips to the other party.

The beauty's eyes flashed with joy, and she took it easily, with a little skill.

Looking at the dress of the beauty, Locke has confirmed that she should be the female public relations in the casino, or the female gambling partner who specializes in accompanying guests to gamble and earn tips.

For a single gambler, it is indeed a very good thing to have a beautiful woman to accompany you, call for yourself by your side, have intimate contact from time to time, and even have the opportunity to invite each other to a follow-up activity after the end.

Gamblers are interested, and they will naturally play for a while, and even because there are beautiful women around, vanity is troubled, and the gambling is getting bigger and bigger, and the casino will naturally be able to earn more, after all, nine out of ten bets will be lost.

In addition to beauty, you should also be familiar enough with various gambling games, be able to grasp the psychology of gamblers in a timely manner, mobilize the gamblers' gambling nature, and appease the gamblers' emotions when the gamblers lose money.

Facing this interest in his heart, Locke didn't count the cards, thinking that if the money he just won was lost, he would turn to 21 o'clock to complete the task planned today.

The beautiful PR woman was still standing behind him, and whenever Locke looked at the cards, he helped him with all kinds of calls.

What Locke didn't expect was that in the next period of time, his luck was actually very good, but after a while, the $10,000 chips he exchanged more than doubled, which was considered to have completed the initial plan.

In this case, Locke also saves the effort of going there to count the cards, accepts it when he sees it, gets up and prepares to leave the table, after all, luck is temporary.

The beautiful PR was still following behind Locke at this time, and Locke turned his head to look at her before he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Locke Lee." ”

"My name is Alice." The other smiled and shook Locke's hand.

"Your Chinese name, real name." Locke switched to Chinese.

"Tang Wei." The beauty PR was surprised that Locke's Chinese was so good, slightly stunned, and said another name.

"Hangzhou people?"

"How do you tell?"

"There is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Hangzhou is a well-known beauty." Locke smiled and said, "How did you come to the United States to study at public expense?" ”

"No, my father is here, he took me over."

"It shouldn't be a short time here, how do you feel, Millican is not a paradise either?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Why else would you be working here instead of going to school?" Locke said with a smile.

Tang Wei smiled: "I have already got an offer from Columbia University, and I came here to earn tuition part-time, after all, the tuition is too expensive." ”

"Hmm." Locke nodded in understanding.

"You think so, too?"

Tang Wei joked: "The tuition fee is expensive, that's for me, and for a rich person like you, it's just a matter of buying a car, right?" ”

"The landlord's family has no surplus food." Locke shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain much.

"Still playing?" Tang Wei proposed: "You have good luck today, if you continue, you will definitely be able to win a lot." ”

Sure enough, Locke knew that the casino had a good grasp of human nature, and as long as she won money, the female publicist would definitely encourage the gambler to continue, and she would get a lot of tips.

Facing the invitation of beautiful women, coupled with the psychology of winning money all the time, will lower people's vigilance.

But how can there be a reason to win all the time, luck is high and low, keep playing, and the final winner will only be the casino.

If you don't want to lose, you still have to change to a battlefield that you are familiar with: "Then 21 o'clock, this is what I am best at, and people call me 21 o'clock little prince." ”

In this year, the so-called legend of gamblers eating chicken has not been widely spread, and the people who can count cards are still a minority, and they are all fighting in groups.

With a female public relations next to him, it is impossible to fight in a group, as long as Locke controls it well, the casino will think that he is lucky at most, a genius like him who can form a group is too rare, and there are not many in the entire United States.

It's just that this time I won a lot, and it is estimated that I won't be able to come to this casino for a while, so as not to be targeted.

Locke didn't care, he was just supplementing his pocket money, and he didn't plan to make it a long-term career, let alone come over every weekend like in blackjack.

And it's only 1990, and it's not like ten years later, casinos will even pay a lot of money to buy the system, through monitoring and computers, directly according to the facial expressions and abnormal table income and expenditure, automatically check out the thousands and card counting people.

Even if you come here every week, won't you change a few casinos, there are so many casinos in Las Vegas, and the team in that movie can be a wool picker, can you not be targeted?
