411. Gambling

Zheng Long, who saw the rebels, got the first qualification to shoot, and was about to raise his revolver when Kiriyama suddenly raised his hand.

"Guys, I have a few words to say before I shoot."

The others looked at each other, not knowing what Kiriyama wanted to say.

"Everyone should be able to see that the first person to shoot has a very big advantage."

Kiriyama's words made everyone look at Zheng Long.

Most of the people present are leaders in various industries, although there are pigs on the tuyere, but being able to see the tuyere itself is a kind of ability, therefore, more or less have a certain understanding of this gambling game, and when they hear the rules of the game, they have already been aware of it.

"How?"

On the side, a man in his forties with a bloated figure didn't know if he really didn't know, or he saw Kiriyama's intentions and asked deliberately.

"There are six magazines in this revolver, and there is only one bullet, then the first person who shoots has a 1 in 6 chance of being shot, and after he shoots, if he is not shot, then the second person will fire a shot from the remaining five magazines, and the chance of being shot is 1 in 5, and so on."

Misty Mountains said in a deep voice.

The grouping next door seemed to have begun, but the speed of the shooting was not fast, and the entire banquet hall had not heard the sound of real gunfire for the time being.

"When it comes to the sixth person, if there is no gun before, then the probability of him being shot is 100%, but this game gives us the power to pay chips to skip shooting, so when the next few people shoot, the probability of being shot will be smaller."

When Kiriyama explained, Zheng Long didn't speak, just stared at Kiriyama.

Zheng Long knew that the reason why they were explaining the rules here was not that they really didn't understand, but that they were showing the advantages that the first person to shoot had, so that it was possible to gather others and re-decide who would shoot first.

If Zheng Long showed a resistant attitude at this time, it would instead deepen the impression of others, and thus make Wushan's plan succeed.

"The first person to shoot will be the last person to shoot in the second round, so that as long as he doesn't get shot the first time, he will always have a probable advantage."

Kiriyama paused, looking at the hooded man, and the revolver.

"Guys, this game is not a game of victory, but a game of not losing."

"There will be at least one eliminator in the six players in this game group, in other words, as long as one eliminator appears, then everyone else will make it to the next round alive."

"That said, we should be using a strategy that makes sure we don't lose, and obviously, the first shot is a pretty good strategy."

Hearing Kiriyama's words, the others were thoughtful.

A man in his late twenties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, lifted his glasses and groaned.

"However, we all have the qualifications to be the first to shoot in every round, where does the advantage come from?"

Without waiting for Wushan to speak, on the side, a woman in a cheongsam raised her fan, slightly covered the lower half of her face, and said softly.

"This little brother, don't forget, as long as the chips are zero, we will lose, that is, this game has an end."

"The end?"

The man in the gold-wire glasses thought for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

"I see, the best strategy is actually to pay the chips, skip the rounds of shooting, as long as you keep skipping, someone gets shot, then naturally you have an advantage over the person who gets shot, and the person who gets shot in the end will run out of his chips first and lose!"

"In this case, the first person to shoot will always have an advantage, because he does not need to skip the first round!"

"That's right."

Kiriyama bowed slightly.

"In the most conservative scenario, we don't gamble on the odds in order to avoid getting shot, we should skip every chance that comes to us, but then after ten rounds, we lose all our chips and everybody loses."

"So, if we want not to lose, we have to shoot at least once to ensure that we don't have zero chips in the tenth round, but the actual result is that in the first round, the first person who shoots does not pay the chips, and the rest of the people have to face the revolver with an increased probability of being shot, as I said before, our strategy is not to get shot, then the best response is to jump the shot with chips, and so on, the first round is over, except for the first person who shoots, the rest of the people pay a chip."

"In the next round, the first person to shoot just needs to skip every time it's their turn, so they don't have to worry about their chips going to zero."

As he spoke, everyone looked at Zheng Long.

After the mention of Kiriyama, they quickly understood the essence of this game, not to gamble on luck to see if they would be shot, but to avoid shooting as much as possible.

That is to say. As long as someone gets shot, then the rest of the people only need to pay one chip at a time, and they can safely survive to the end. ”

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses understood what Kiriyama meant.

"Moreover, you only need to fire one shot when the probability is lowest to gain an advantage, and you don't have to worry about subsequent defeat."

"Looking at it this way, the first person to shoot does have a great advantage."

The middle-aged man in his forties, with a bloated figure, looked at Zheng Long meaningfully.

"Chief Zheng, you have a good idea."

It seems that this man knows Zheng Long.

"As an army commander who protects citizens, I have a responsibility to explore the way for everyone first."

Zheng Long was unmoved and said lightly.

"As a chief, you are also a stranger, but we are the backbone here, you can't just quit the scene, let's let us young people test it."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses teased.

"But with such an analysis, who will be the first?"

On the side, the man who hadn't spoken before said, he was wearing suspenders and combing his hair in the middle, looking like a son-in-law from a certain family.

Not to mention anything else, the first person can almost be regarded as a guaranteed clearance, and he has to bet on a higher probability than the follow-up, obviously, the advantage of the first shot is exhausted.

If it's just an ordinary gamble, it doesn't matter.

But this is a game of life, and any advantage should be fought for as much as possible, and there can be no charitable acts.

"It's better to use this."

Kiriyama spoke at this point and pointed to the revolver.

"Let's do a round first, everybody shoots, until it's shot, and the one who gets shot is the first person, how about it?"

Several people looked at the revolver and then at the hooded man.

The man handed the revolver out.

No one reached out.

Zheng Long glanced at it and pushed the little brother with gold wire glasses next to him with his elbow.

"You didn't scream quite loudly just now, why don't you go up first."

"Ahh

The gold-wired glasses guy got the heavy revolver, hesitated to raise the muzzle, pointed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.

Click-

One in six probability, he didn't hit.

Somewhat lost, the man sighed and handed the revolver out, and Zheng Long immediately snatched the pistol.

Zheng Long picked up the revolver, looked at the foggy mountain, and then shot himself.

Bang –

Crisp gunshots rang out.
