Shao Xi learned so many skills of gambling in the gambling house from Lao Wu, but in fact, the main thing is to figure out people's psychology and human nature.

In fact, these methods of figuring out psychology and human nature are not necessarily just used on the gambling table, and in many things they have to rely on figuring out the thoughts and ideas of others, and even the purpose, and then follow the trend to come naturally.

Therefore, Shao Xi felt that he had benefited a lot from following Lao Wu to this gambling house today.

At this time, Lao Wu began to bet on the table again, and the beggar before saw that Lao Wu started to bet again, so he also followed Lao Wu and began to bet.

Sure enough, there were not a few handfuls, and he won back the silver beans he had lost before, and every time he won money, he would look at Lao Wu with grateful eyes.

Shao Xi felt very strange, this person was obviously very good at gambling, but why could he see that Lao Wu would win?

When Shao Xi told Lao Wu about this doubt in his heart, Lao Wu just smiled casually.

said to Shao Xi: "This person is indeed not good at gambling, but this person is the best at the other side. ”

"On the other hand? What are you referring to? ”

"Acquaintance! There is a group of people who have been in the gambling house for many years, and they are not good at figuring out what is in the minds of others, nor are they good at observing the situation on the gambling table.

"But they're very good at spotting the difference in others, and when they find out that a person is somehow starting to win at the table, they will follow suit.

"This kind of person gambles almost as much as he loses, but once he finds the person who can bet with him, he will continue to win."

A look of surprise flashed on Shao Xi's face, he originally thought that such a person would only be those emperors and generals.

Because as an emperor and general, if you have the ability to know people, you will gather a lot of talents around you, then no matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

But such a beggar who was messing around in the gambling house actually had this kind of talent, and since he had this kind of talent, why was this person so down-and-out?

"Those who have this kind of ability are extraordinary people, why would this person be so miserable? Since he has this ability, it is said that there should be a group of capable people gathered around him, so he can do whatever he wants? ”

Lao Wu glanced at the beggar not far away from the corner of his eye, and shook his head very regretfully.

"This principle is the same as doing business and gambling, it is difficult to make a profit without capital! Even though he has the talent to know people, but he doesn't have the capital to recruit capable people, what can he do?

"Seeing those geniuses walking past him, he has no way to keep these people by his side, if he can have the financial resources of yours, presumably his current achievements will not be below you."

Shao Xi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that this seemingly down-and-out beggar had such talent!

If you can keep such people by your side and help you discover those geniuses that you can't see, wouldn't it be of great help to you to establish your power in the court and in the rivers and lakes?

Lao Wu seemed to have insight into Shao Xi's inner activities, and gently poked Shao Xi with his elbow, which pulled Shao Xi's attention back from the beggar's body.

"I advise you not to fight the idea of this kind of person, they have the ability to know people, and naturally know how to use people.

"At the moment, it seems to be down, and it doesn't matter if you let him win some money on the table, but if you keep him by your side, not only will it not help you, but you will help him.

"After getting your financial support, he will use his ability to recruit talents for himself, and in the end, you will only make wedding dresses for others.

"This kind of person will either be depressed for a lifetime, or take the opportunity to rise, and he is definitely not a person who is willing to rely on others, I advise you to stay away from this kind of person, and beware of digging a big pit and burying yourself in it."

Hearing this, Shao Xi was shocked again.

Lao Wu is not wrong, people with this kind of ability naturally have corresponding ambitions, he just has talents, but once he gains power, he will never be willing to live under others.

It may seem that he is helping you on the surface, but in fact he is helping himself, and when the time comes, he will definitely empty the person who helped him, so as to realize his own ambitions.

This reminded Shao Xi of Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan's rebellion in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Liu Bei, a poor ghost who weaves mats and sells shoes, was able to establish the later Shu Kingdom with the help of Zhang Fei's financial resources.

Liu Bei is a person who has the ability to understand people, so in the end, Zhang Fei's investment is all to serve Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu can only be willing to live under Liu Bei.

This is a classic example of using the resources in the hands of others to serve oneself.

Shao Xi would definitely not do this kind of loss-making business, so the idea that had just popped up in Shao Xi's heart was extinguished in an instant.

He didn't want to carry a time bomb around him, and it seemed that he still had to rely on himself for many things.

The people available around you must first be reliable, otherwise even if you have great ability, you can't stay by your side, otherwise you will only end up being cocooned and bound by others, and the peaches will be picked by others.

Although I feel a little pity in my heart, I have to weigh the pros and cons of everything, and we must be especially cautious about things with high returns and high risks, otherwise one will capsize in the gutter if one is not careful.

And judging from Shao Xi's observation, although this beggar is down, there is a shrewd look in his eyes, and people who are too shrewd often become the biggest threat to their side.

So Shao Xi put away all his thoughts and looked at Lao Wu's gambling money seriously.

Lao Wu didn't bet much every time, so he won a lot in the end, and the beggar who bet with Lao Wu was also considered to have won a lot of money tonight.

This gambling house was originally open all night, so no one drove them away, but Lao Wu felt that the win was almost over, and if he continued like this, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the gambling house.

Many things still have to be accepted when they are good, and they can't be too greedy.

So after Lao Wu put away the last handful of money he won, he planned to leave the gambling house with Shao Xi and Wu Qiuer and go back to the inn to rest.

But the beggar didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and when he saw that Lao Wu and the others were leaving, his eyes unconsciously showed some loss.

Lao Wu didn't care about his feelings, he didn't know how to stop after winning so much money, sooner or later the money he won would be lost back, and these things had nothing to do with him.

Just as a few people were about to leave the gambling house, they heard someone shouting, "Everyone! Ladies and gentlemen! Here's a great news to announce here, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for guests who want to win big! ”

Win big? Or is it a good opportunity?

Although they knew that there would be no such cheap thing in the world, Shao Xi and Lao Wu couldn't help but stop and turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.

I saw that the person who shouted was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and looked like the shopkeeper of the gambling house, and this person was announcing a very important news to the gamblers in the gambling house, which was very important to both the gambling house and the gamblers.

"Recently, the envoys of the Western Turks came to our Loulan country as an envoy, and it was decided that a horse race would be held in the palace the day after tomorrow, and this horse race was made by three good horses from each side, and the winner of two games was the winner.

"This royal Marseille is held, and although we and other civilians do not have the right to enter and watch, we have access to news from the palace, so from today onwards we will accept bets from all guests on Marseille.

"You can bet on the single-game winner of one, two, and three games of both sides respectively, and the payout is one to one; You can also bet on the order of the horses of both sides in 123 games, and the payout for the winner is 5 to 1; The total winner of the bet is one to one.

"These three gambling methods can be bet at the same time, if you can bet all three gambling methods at the same time, in addition to each separate payout, there is a total payout of one hundred payouts."

As soon as the news was released, the gambling house exploded instantly, and although it was not the first time that Marseille had been held in the palace, it was also an annual event.

All the gambling houses in the ancient city of Loulan will take this opportunity to make a big gamble with the gamblers, and the gamblers are also very interested in it.

However, while this payout may seem fair, it is actually not easy to win a lot of money from the casino.

One, two, and three games are only one to one, and this probability is only half and half between the gambling house and the gambler.

However, it is difficult to bet on the order of one, two, and three wins.

First of all, no one is sure who will win each game, and this bet is equivalent to guessing the order of the three wins and losses in order to get that one to five.

As for the total win, it is actually almost the same as a single bet, with both sides winning half.

That's fine for gamblers, but the most tempting thing for them is that they can get a share of 100 if they bet on everything.

All bets here include a single win or loss to be all-in, a three-game winning order to be a bet, and a total win or loss to be counted.

It is through this temptation that gamblers bet on all single-game, streaks and overall wins.

The probability of being able to bet all these bets is very small, but the generous odds will make all gamblers itch, which is the best opportunity for gambling houses to make money.

Shao Xi only knew the tricks of the gambling house through a simple calculation in his heart.

In fact, these gamblers in the gambling house are not stupid people, they naturally know the catty in this, but human nature is greedy, especially these gamblers.

Who doesn't want to get one to one for a single game, five for a consecutive game, one for one for the total win, and finally one for one hundred in the whole game?

So many people know that this is a pit, but they will still jump into it regardless of it.

All this naturally can't be hidden from Lao Wu, Lao Wu pondered for a while, and felt that this matter was actually not very reliable, this time it seems that there is no cheating in the gambling house, so everyone bets here is purely just luck.

For Lao Wu, not being 10% sure is equivalent to not being sure, so he doesn't plan to get involved in this matter, and he is already satisfied with winning some small money today.

But Shao Xi had an idea about this, and he wondered if since the Marseille was held in the palace, and the gambling house had a way to get the news of the victory or defeat from the palace, would he have a chance to enter the palace to determine the outcome of this Marseille?

If he can decide the outcome of this Marseille, wouldn't he be able to win a lot of money by betting on the gambling house?

Otherwise, Shao Xi is becoming more and more similar to Lao Wu, and now there is even some meaning that the blue is better than the blue.

Lao Wu is a greedy man and miser, but Lao Wu didn't plan to get involved in this matter, but Shao Xi moved his mind.

Seeing that the gamblers in the gambling house ran to the shopkeeper to place bets, Shao Xi pulled Lao Wu aside.

whispered: "We have a chance to make a big deal on this matter!" Let's find an excuse to enter the palace tomorrow, and find an opportunity to persuade the king of Loulan to hand over this horse race to me to arrange, so that we can make a big bet in this gambling house, and we will make a sure profit when the time comes. ”

Lao Wu's eyes widened, staring at him and asking, "I don't think your kid entered the palace for horse racing, right?" You're going to take this opportunity to convince the King of Loulan to hand over the matter of letting the horses to Saori, right? ”

Shao Xi grinned and replied, "Originally, I planned to enter the palace on the pretext of purchasing a large amount of wine from Loulan Kingdom, but now I happened to run into this matter.

"Winning Marseille is the best excuse for the king of Loulan, as long as we enter the palace and help Loulan win Marseille, we will have a chance to persuade the king to hand over the matter of releasing the horses to the kingdom of Saori.

"Of course, winning a large sum of money from the gambling house will cause a great sensation in Loulan City, and make the king of Loulan think that the main purpose of our idea for him is to win money for himself, so as to conceal the real purpose of persuading him to release the horse."

Lao Wu lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that Shao Xi's method was feasible, so he nodded, and agreed with Shao Xi's idea.

But when Shao Xi went to place a bet, the previous dealer whispered a few words in the ear of the shopkeeper while looking at Shao Xi and the others.

The shopkeeper looked up at Shao Xi and Lao Wu, nodded to the dealer, and came to Shao Xi to salute.

He said politely: "A few guests seem to have come from afar, and I heard that a few of them were lucky today and won a lot of money in our gambling house." ”

Shao Xi heard that his heart moved, and what did he mean by saying this shopkeeper? Seeing that we have won money, what kind of crooked idea do we want to fight because we are dissatisfied?

So he hugged his fist and replied politely: "It's just luck, I won some money by borrowing Guibao today, so that the shopkeeper broke the bank." ”

The shopkeeper looked generous and waved his hand.

"To be polite, where can we talk about breaking the bank? Open the door to do this business, there is a gamble, there is no fear of someone to win.

"But I just heard from my fellow that the gentleman next to the guest seems to have some skills in this gamble, and I think this guest is not an ordinary person.

"I deliberately bet a few hands with the guest, which is considered a pastime, if the guest wins the bet and takes it away, if I win only half of the guest's bet?"

Shao Xi heard that this was wrong!

He won and took it all, he won and only charged half of the bet, this is not to gamble money, this is to find himself will be angry!

But his gambling skills have just been learned from Lao Wu, so let yourself get started with gambling money, how can you get it?
