Chapter 177: The Train Tunnel Effect
"In that case, I'm betting on my side too."
Vio didn't lift his eyelids, and just responded neatly.
Call in the first round, stud.
The legends of the casinos and the kings of the gamblers all commit the same foolishness.
In the transparent and closed room, Vio squinted at the plasma group member who was acting as a dealer next to him, as if urging his subordinates to quickly push forward all the chips here.
The dealer was obviously intimidated by his boss's bold gamble, and after trembling for a while, he began to move the stacks of chips in a cold sweat.
This is where the advantage of having a subordinate as a dealer is evident – within the limits of the rules, Vio can be as willful as he pleases, and even stud bets can be so effortless.
In this way, all the chips on the black and white table moved, like soldiers rushing to the battlefield, silently but resolutely gathered towards the central area.
The castle and hill-like façade are gone, and all that's left is a sea of purple chips – a sea worth 20 billion League coins.
If done properly, funds of this scale can easily acquire dozens of listed companies, and even have the opportunity to monopolize two or three profiteering industries.
But at this moment, these chips are just props for gamblers to compete with their desires.
。
"As a gambler, your strategy is pretty good."
Behind the shimmering purple sea, Vio still looked calm. He condescendingly complimented the lingonberries—
"As you can see, you have some knowledge of my card counting skills, and know that in the equation of game analysis, even the hole cards that are folded and washed must be included in the equation as an indication of tendencies - this is the only part of the formula that relies on human judgment. So at the beginning of the game, you decide to attack on this and try to make me make the wrong prediction of the deck by constantly folding and forcing me to fold. ”
"Since you lose your hand with a wry smile, they must be low-value variegated colors, right? If you resist the timidity of making a heavy bluff, then the hole card should at least be a higher hand, if not a trump card like JqKA? If you don't hesitate to stud, you must have drawn a courageous high-end hand...... But it's all a lie! I repeated this over and over again, hitting my equations with more and more variables, accumulating errors and distortions, trying to subvert my solitary wave equation at some point. ”
The Evil Heavenly King was still expressionless, but his hand was quietly hidden behind the edge of the table, and at this time it was clenched into a fist and faintly appeared.
It's just that this patience is clearly reflected by the huge mirror behind him, and it is simply meaningless.
"The stratagem deserves praise. Unfortunately, the clock face will be cleared. ”
Vio tapped the white edge of the table with his knuckles, and the tremor like the tick of the second hand crossed the mountains and passed all the way to the back of the bilberry's clenched fist.
"There is a famous analogy in mathematics: after a train that is longer than a tunnel is drilled into the tunnel, when its locomotive comes out and the tail of the train has not yet entered the tunnel, the person standing outside the train tunnel can use experience and imagination to automatically complete the train, without thinking that the train is incomplete. This is known as the train tunnel autocompletion effect. ”
"Just last night, on my way off the boat to pick the poker for the tournament, I devised an analysis method for guessing the face of Ssangyong poker based on this train tunnel effect, which was used as the only subjective part of the algorithm to complete the clock face. Unlike treacherous people's hearts, data and algorithms can neither deceive nor conceal, and the face cards displayed on the table can guess your face up cards according to a fixed rule, and even if they can't accurately hit the bull's-eye, they can also be turned into a database as a reference for subsequent calculations. ”
"It's not something humans can do......" a dry sound came from the bilberry's throat.
"But I can do it." Vio's voice, which had always been unhurried, suddenly became high-pitched—
"If the clever gambler can use the calculations of his head to influence life as unpredictable as the storm at sea, then the top mathematicians can dominate the storm and manipulate it with their own hands. My brain is working with precision all the time, maybe not as good as a computer powered by a monster, but with all my might, it is enough to calculate all the possibilities on the table at this time - your two face cards, five community cards, and the probability combination of 52 to the seventh power have been guided by the previous data, and have been extremely compressed and simplified, and have become an unwavering solitary wave. ”
The old man pointed to the table: "I can't tell you the value of each card, but there are only 19 possible combinations left, and any of them point directly to my victory." ”
"Let's reveal the final hole cards."
The dealer reached for the fold at the black-and-white boundary on the table, and he was going to turn over all the community cards in a row, but he turned over one before a voice stopped him.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to keep calling."
It was lingonberry that spoke.
As his words fell, there was a drastic change in the transparent room.
Around the bottom of the cube, a strong wind whistled from the slender windows that had been used for ventilation.
The whistling sound is like a speeding train.
In the midst of the strong wind, something overwhelming poured into the room.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one...... Countless light objects were blown into the sky, crashed into the transparent and reflective glass ceiling, and turned into torrential rain.
The dealer stopped as one of the items flew over his head and then swiped onto the back of his outstretched hand.
That's banknotes.
One, followed by four zeros, ten thousand, is the largest denomination banknote ever issued by the United Alliance. Although it is no longer in use and out of circulation, its value as a general equivalent remains.
Endless banknotes float up into the sky, fall to the ground, spill all over tables, occupy shoulders, and encroach on vision......
"Banknotes are just pieces of paper with patterns, and they can't correspond to the value they represent, but they are surprisingly popular. The reason for this phenomenon lies in the credit given to it by the Pokémon Alliance. ”
Lingonberry said this in a flirtatious tone, and before he knew it, countless banknotes had already reached his feet.
"This is the power of trust, which can turn pieces of paper into money, garbage into goods, and nothing into priceless things."
The bills filled the vents, and no more bills were flying into the sky, but the speed of the banknotes pouring into the room did not stop. Hundreds of square meters of gambling rooms gradually turned into a sea of banknotes. The water level instantly overflowed the calves of the three people present, and they bravely climbed towards their knees.
"So, these beautiful pieces of paper are the same thing as the purple medals on the table, both of which are symbols created on the basis of some kind of credit – that is, they are both a type of chip. In a way, since it doesn't need to go through the casino's rake, the value it represents is above the regular chips. ”
The sea level made up of banknotes continued to rise until it was level with the black and white tables, and the rising momentum barely stopped.
At this moment, half of Vio and Lingonberry's bodies are all submerged in the banknotes, and as long as they shake slightly, there will be a violent sound of paper rubbing, and money lovers will probably like this kind of scene very much, right?
"Lingonberry, what do you mean?"
Vio vaguely guessed his opponent's intentions, and could not hide his anger and asked.
He had previously inspected the vents, but was only concerned with whether they could provide a hint to the game, only looking at whether there were cameras or light guidance, and ignoring the device under the narrow pipe......
The transparent room now resembles an oversized piggy bank stuffed with money, and the two duels are no longer visible from the deck, and all the eye can see is the boiling of alliance bills.
"Here is all the cash on the gambling ship as a reserve, which is 15 billion. I'm going to put them on the table as chips for the second round of calling. ”
- Lingonberry grins its fangs in bad faith.
"This is against the rules!" Mr. Dealer performed his duties in a timely manner this time.
"Let's not talk about whether cash can be used as a bargaining chip...... If all of your opponent's chips don't add up enough to follow, you can't bet like that! ”
Players who cannot call can only fold.
If Vio can't come up with a bet worth the same as 15 billion in cash, he won't be able to continue the game at hand.
This is a complete foul in Double Dragon Poker, and if such a rule is acquiesced, gamblers can force their opponents to fold all the time if they raise their call without hesitation, and the competitiveness will be lost.
"Mr. Vio certainly has plenty of leverage to follow up."
The Evil Heavenly King raised his hand and shook off the banknote on his shoulder, looked at his opponent and sneered-
"As the treasurer of the Plasma Regiment, the sage who controls the United Wealth, he hasn't spent a penny since he landed on the gambling ship."
Indeed, even the first chip at 21 was offered by a well-meaning gambler, and Vio had been building a tower without any foundation since he boarded the ship.
And now, this tower of illusion is only one step away from reaching the sky. Just a little bit of a bet he can win the lingonberry, a perfect solution to the hidden danger caused by the casino to the plasma group.
But at this time, the opponent who was about to be solved by one move was still stubbornly blocking this step. relied on a very unreasonable conspiracy.
"Trying to win my Royal Unity empty-handed, and not even worrying about the risk of losing a trick - even the legendary Creselia of Sinnoh can't tolerate this level of dreams, right?"
Lingonberry crosses Erlang's legs in the banknote and laughs loudly at Vio's missteps. The heels of the leather shoes are heavily pressed on his two hole cards, and he does not allow anyone to lift the cards, showing a rogue villain-like temperament commensurate with the reputation of the evil king.
"If you want to win at the table, show me a little real enlightenment!"
