Chapter 179: Lore
The community cards on the table are about to be revealed.
Mr. Dealer standing in the banknotes trembled, this member of the plasma group who knew nothing about Double Dragon Poker had developed a certain understanding of the game after so many rounds of poker.
However, knowledge also means a burden, and while understanding the meaning of each card in this round of the game, this unfortunate man also loses the right to be ignorant and fearless.
The hand raised in the air trembled uncontrollably, and the dealer's eyes peeked at the purple-robed sage from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would turn the wrong cards because of himself.
Vio showed a tangled expression of confidence and worry, his brows furrowed, and his half-open eyes were still firmly locked on the cards on the table—
The old man was worried that someone would steal a card change when he wasn't looking, so he kept this stance, starting before he called.
He kept this watchful eye when deciding to place a bet, when he sent an e-mail to the Order, when he ordered his men outside the secret room to deliver papers, or when he signed his name on a check.
If there is any abnormality, Vio will not hesitate to give up the gamble regardless of the eyes of others.
However, no one cheated.
The cards on the table remained untouched, and Lingonberry put the two hole cards on the table early, and sat cross-legged on the pile of bills at the back of the table.
Now, the gambler's heavenly king folded his hands comfortably, his face was extremely calm, and his breathing was steady and soothing.
Whether it is the corners of his mouth or between his eyebrows, there is no abnormal tremor at all, and this overly calm attitude makes it impossible to guess his mood at this time.
Is it a chance to win?
No, unlike Pokémon's moves, the human "bluff" is even more invisible. Maybe he deliberately put on this look, suspicious in front of Vio, and secretly expected the old man to stop halfway and fold his cards.
Having said that, since the gambling game has reached the point where it is now, no matter whether Lingonberry is impatient or calm, calm or crazy, no matter what kind of reaction he makes, he will probably be regarded as a meaningful acting act.
Gambling is such an existence that can distort the rules of mathematics -
No matter how many probability calculations you have done in advance, once you see the opponent's expression, it seems that winning or losing will become equal again in an instant.
At Vio's hand were five checks he had just signed, three stock drafts, seven corporate bonds, and a note with two lines of handwriting faintly visible from the back—a private account with large sums of money in a regular bank hosted by the Alliance, with two lines of numbers, one card number and one password.
Combined, these various financial certificates can withdraw a total of 16 billion yuan in cash from 15 different financial institutions.
On the various documents, the seals representing the credibility of the plasma group have not yet dried, and the light reflects bright red as blood in the indoor light.
There are only a handful of big people in the world who can raise capital of this scale in half an hour, but Vio is just one of these amazing big people.
Of the two sages in charge of the Plasma Mission's finances, Vio has always been the one with more cash flow. Not only does he always have ample short-term investment funds, but he also manages dozens of leather bag companies used to cover up black money because he is responsible for supervising the money laundering business of the dark side of the Order. Recently, he also received a large amount of additional funds from the Order for taking on a confidential mission related to the Giant's Cave.
But even for Vio, the gamble drained him of almost all the assets at his disposal, and he barely managed to raise enough money to call.
Previously, when Vio raised funds over the phone, the live broadcast of the game was temporarily suspended. Waiting always triggers anticipation, so wait for the screen to reopen half an hour later, and the casino on the sea becomes very lively.
But inside the transparent gambling room, there was silence.
。
The dealer turns over the second community card.
Lingonberry whistled.
Vio's eyebrows moved.
He has 10 solitary wave cards left in his prediction that match the current face up, three folds on the table, and one of the bilberry's hole cards that are yet to be known.
Just looking at the card, if you don't consider the solitary wave theory and the clock face algorithm, and only use the enumeration method to analyze, in the fourth power of 52, that is, 7.3 million possibilities, Tavio has a more dominant card type, and the probability of winning is 70%, far more than the winning rate of less than 30% of bilberry.
Precision and crudeness, the two algorithms point to the same conclusion.
Definitely winning.
Vio was also worried about whether the bilberry would continue to call to interrupt the match, but it doesn't seem that way right now. If the casino could make any more money, he would really have to wonder if there were counterfeit money mixed in it.
Seeing that no one continued to bet, the dealer unveiled the community cards in the middle of the table in succession.
There are 7 left, and the win rate is 87%, which is in line with expectations.
There are 5 left, and the win rate is 92%, which is in line with expectations.
There is 1 left, and the win rate is 99.9%, which is in line with expectations.
Each time a card is revealed, Vio repeats the probability estimate in his head. The former is to verify the accuracy of the clock face algorithm, while the latter is to review the hand from the perspective of purely probabilistic events.
And at this point, there is no need to even think about the probability algorithm, because the situation is now clear, and the only hand left of the bilberry has not been revealed.
There are only a few dozen possibilities left on the table.
Vio's hand is a pair of kings, and the two kings on the board can form a four-of-a-kind second only to a straight flush, while the hand that Bilberry accidentally exposed earlier is a miserable 4 of spades, and there is no chance of forming more than two pairs, unless you make up a full straight flush, you can't beat Vio -
However, this was not possible, as the 8 of spades, which constituted the necessary dragon, had already been exhausted in the previous hand.
Lingonberries are unlikely to win.
However, seeing that the community cards were revealed, the 100% loser pulled the corners of his mouth exaggeratedly, and stretched out his hand to take the initiative to turn over his hole cards.
"Wait." Vio hurriedly stopped.
"I want the dealer to reveal the cards of both sides." He rightly said.
This is a real lore, blocking the opponent's last retreat, like checkmate in chess.
The face of the Gambler Heavenly King instantly became ugly, and he must have lost the last chance to cheat.
"I accept."
A muffled voice came from the bilberry's throat, and his leather shoes shook and tapped against the torrent of banknotes beneath him.
It's a little uneasy, but it's not at all what a desperate person should be. Vio intuitively thought so.
Hasn't he seen that he's in a desperate situation? Even if he doesn't use probability card counting, he should know that his hole cards can't form any high-scoring cards, right?
Despite his doubts, the old man had to do the same.
Under the signal of the boss's eyes, the dealer first turned over the hole cards on Vio's side, and after seeing Vio's hole cards, the dealer was obviously relieved.
But the opponent still did not panic, and even the slightly uneasy trembling footsteps stopped. This scared Vio.
The gambler in the dark blue dress put on an ambiguous smile and made a gesture of encouragement, allowing the dealer on the plasma side to dispose of the hole cards on the table.
Seeing that the opponent was calm and exuding an aura that could win, the old man had an impulse in his heart for no reason—the urge to overturn the table.
It may be too late to do so before the hole cards are revealed – while the rules of the casino are violated, there is still room for manoeuvres.
He had already gambled all the money at his disposal as the treasurer of the Plasma Order, and if he lost this gamble, he would even be stripped of his status as the Seven Sages of the Order......
Whenever he thought of this, the fragile part of Vio's heart screamed incessantly, begging him to stop the game.
Although he roamed the casino, the sum of the amount of gambling in this life was not as good as the bets in this round of gambling. Why was that bilberry able to put twice his stakes on the table, but still be so calm? Isn't he afraid of double debt after the bursting of the inflation bubble?
Do you want to surrender? Do you want to turn your back on all the wisdom and dignity you have accumulated so far, and surrender to this man with a confident face?
No, I'm the one who will win.
Being frightened off by the enemy's face is not a mathematician's demeanor.
The old man's reason admonished him.
Data and theories, these quantifiable things are the trustworthy evidence in this world, and everything else is nothing more than unfounded fear, a complete illusion.
People deceive, intuition betrays, and the five senses create delusions, but numbers don't. Especially the numbers that have been tested in a variety of ways.
Vio nodded at his men. The latter reached out to uncover the bilberry's hole cards.
……
……
……
Hey?
No way?
Vio's eyes widened.
The two cards that the dealer turned over were all out of the old man's expectations.
There are no 4 points seen in the specular reflection, and there is no other card in the prediction. Rather, it's an ace and a 10, and the suit is pitch black like ink.
Both are cards that don't appear in the clock face algorithm!
These two cards are linked together with the big cards in the community cards, which are also spades, for a beautiful royal flush.
Overpowered Vio's four kings.
"What a pity, Mr. Vio."
Lingonberry said with a grin, reaching out and using his fingertips to pick up the black ace of spades on the table, changing angles to the mirror behind him.
When the cards were almost perpendicular to the mirror, Vio's face turned pale and he almost screamed.
"Although you brought the Double Dragon Poker yourself, it seems that you don't know enough about them." The opponent's smile was extremely sincere, but in Vio's eyes, it looked like a deadly dagger that glittered with a cold light.
"A two-dimensional shape changes shape as the perspective changes. In this extreme angle of inclination, the shape of the number 4 and the A are almost identical, which many people will misjudge, which is a basic information manipulation for gamblers. ”
The laws of geometry are incredibly simple.
Vio slumped in the back of his chair, looking older than ever. Banknotes that did not belong to him were covered in front of him, almost buried.
The blow of reading the wrong card didn't put him in such a desperate situation, and the fact that really hit the old man was-
His clock face algorithm went wrong.
Solitary waves on the surface of the sea do not exist.
He lost in a bumpy.
。
At the same time, a loud whistle rang into the ears of everyone in the room.
The United Royal, set sail.
