In the middle of the room, there was only a stone table the size of a gambling house, and a thick layer of felt cloth was spread on it. Wu Chuanfang lifted the corner of the felt cloth and mysteriously called for a look at it.

Attentively walked over to take a closer look, only to see that the four corners of the felt cloth were embroidered with rune formations, knowing that this thing was a magic weapon, I couldn't help but be curious: "The predecessors are too serious, the table case that practices gambling at home is also equipped with a formation of induction support?

Wu Chuanfang shook his head and said: "This room is dedicated to my study of gambling, and I don't hide it from Yin Daoyou, except for me, even my own mother and son can't come in." Daoyou is the first outsider to enter this house in a hundred years. As for the mystery of this felt carpet, I will show you it. ”

Unconsciously, Wu Chuanfang no longer regarded himself as a senior, and was called a Taoist friend. I saw him pinch his hand, and wiped it on the felt cloth, and instantly there were a few more squares on it, in which were written big, small, single, double, as well as words such as red and black, which was clearly a gambling table for betting on red and black treasures. Wu Chuanfang pinched his fingers and wiped them again, and the regulations on the felt carpet became the table for rolling the dice again. With the change of his instructions, the rules on the felt carpet can be conjured into 18 styles, all covering 18 types of gambling in the gambling house.

He was amazed, and when Wu Chuanfang finished his demonstration, he asked him what kind of gambling method he wanted to see?

At this moment, the situation on the felt carpet is a square, and the words Zhuang, Out, Heaven, and the End are written on the four directions, which happens to be a domino situation, Wu Chuanfang pointed to the table and said: "How about asking Daoyou to demonstrate the civil and martial arts of a domino?"

The so-called domino is commonly known as pai gow by mortals, which not only has a lot of ways to play, but also has different rules. For example, if friends and relatives are at home to have a casual pastime, it is generally the loser who rolls the dice, and the winner sits in the bank, and the number of people can be four or eight.

When it comes to the gambling house, the rules are very different, the number of people is fixed to four, to put it bluntly, three players and the dealer bet, and the rest of the gamblers can bet on the four doors of the banker, bet money at will, win or lose. According to the direction, the right hand of the dealer is the door, the left hand is the last door, and the opposite side of the dealer is the gate of heaven.

There are two ways to play domino or pai gow, big and small. Big pai gow is 36 cards, Zhuang and Player each draw four, random combination of two and two pairs. The three players are all compared to the size of their two cards and the dealer's two cards. The player has two decks of cards, all of which are greater than the banker to win, all of which are smaller than the banker to lose, and one small and one large is a draw.

There are many variables in big pai gow, and the general dispersal between relatives and friends is all playing big pai gow.

Among the large and small gambling houses, including Linyuan, they are playing small pai gow.

There are a total of 24 cards in Little Gow, and after stacking the cards, the loser of each hand rolls the dice first to specify where to start the cards. After that, everyone began to bet, buy and leave the hand, by the winner of the last round of the banker and then roll the dice, to decide which one to draw the cards first. Each family draws two cards, exactly a pair, or with the dealer to compare the size, to win or lose.

According to the rules of small pai gow, we don't need to calculate the cards, and there is no draw, it belongs to the happy play of one or two eyes, if you catch up with the luck, it is not a few to lose overnight.

In the serious gambling houses in the major cities, on the pai gow table, in addition to the support formation that senses the fluctuation of spiritual power, and the dice are also handed over to the ignorant children, in order to eliminate all the possibility of cheating.

Wu Chuanfang selected the table of pai gow, and took out twenty-four dominoes from the Qiankun ring, and after washing the chaos, he put them on the table and made a gesture of invitation to the courtesy.

He didn't shirk it, walked to the table, rolled up his sleeves first, and said to Wu Chuanfang: "The so-called Wu Luzi, most of the techniques are all in the sleeves of the robe, and all the hidden cards are changed from this cuff. ”

Wu Chuanfang nodded and said: "Someone still has a secret pavilion and a bamboo tube hidden in his sleeve, which can change cards in an instant with the power of a machine spring." ”

Attentively pulled the cuffs to his elbows, revealing two smooth "jade arms" and said: "All the martial arts that walk the cuffs are all non-stream-based play, and the martial arts are clever to play, even if you roll up your sleeves, you can also steal and change cards under your nose, which is called kung fu in the palm of your hand." ”

Wu Chuanfang's eyes fell on the arm of the courtesy, his eyes were a little straight, he only felt that this person's arm was more tender and white than those female cultivators, this person had an ugly face, and he really used the technique of disguise.

The diligent skin resurfacing technique was performed for a long time, and he was too lazy to bless again, although the complexion on his face had not changed, his body had gradually recovered his jade skin, he didn't mind this, he picked up a card from the table, and used slow motion to show in front of Wu Chuanfang's eyes, how to play hand paint in front of everyone with only one pair of palms.

Wu Chuanfang packed up his mind and carefully observed the actions of the courtesy, which were not far from what he knew, except for one or two techniques that he had never seen before, most of them were not new. The question is, these techniques may be used in the field below, into the gambling house, one can not touch the dice, the other can not touch the cards, how to play.

Diligence rehearsed it in slow motion, then put down the cards, and said to Wu Chuanfang with a smile: "These little tricks I played, the predecessors must have seen all of them, to tell you the truth, I can just slow down the action, really let me go to the table to perform, it must be to show the bottom of the card." ”

Wu Chuanfang said with a smile: "The old man rolls up his sleeves, and he can play these with one hand." ”

He nodded attentively, waved his hand and scattered the cards: "Wild gambling is all about working on one pair of hands." However, even if you only use one finger to play brilliantly, and enter the gambling house, people will not allow you to touch the cards, it is still useless. ”

Wu Chuanfang saw that he was on the topic, and hurriedly raised his spirit and said: "So, the Wen Luzi you mentioned doesn't need to touch the cards and touch the dice?"

"The real clever gambling is not in the hands. He put down the sleeves of his robe, put his hands in his sleeves, and said with a smile, "The so-called Wen Luzi doesn't use his hands, but he relies on his eyesight and mental mantras to get people's money." ”

"How to get it?" Wu Chuanfang's heart was pounding, and his expression was a little excited.

Attentive to pick up a card from the table, turn it over to see, it is a ten points, also called plum blossoms, attentive handed the card to Wu Chuanfang said: "Gambling skills, first of all, have a good eyesight, I only ask the seniors, if I put this ten points, buckle into this pile of cards, can you still find it?"

Wu Chuanfang stared at the dominoes in his palm, and shook his head for a while before he said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, if you find the kind of bamboo cards that are commonly used, it may be easier to do, after all, the texture of each card is different." The dominoes in the gambling house are the same as the one in my hand, all of which are polished with jade, and the whole body is round, and there are no lines. ”

Yin Qin showed appreciation: "The fact that the predecessors can think of the bamboo pattern shows that you have had thoughts in this regard, but unfortunately you have not been able to go deeper." In fact, to distinguish a domino, it is not necessary to start only from the lines. You know, there are never two things in the world that are exactly the same, as long as you look carefully, you can distinguish the extremely subtle differences. For example, the dominoes are all polished with jade, but the color of each piece of jade is different, this method; secondly, even if the polishing is smooth, the dominoes have been used several times, and there will be small traces left when they collide with each other, even if the traces are thinner than hair, but with the eyes of the monk, as long as you observe carefully, you can distinguish it, right?"

Wu Chuanfang only felt that diligence pointed out a path for him that he had longed for, but had never really implemented. He picked up a few dominoes with some excitement and looked at them carefully for a while before saying, "If you put in a lot of effort, it is not impossible to identify these dominoes." However, even if you can see the size of the dominoes, it is still useless. In the casino, after the starting point is set, everyone has to place a bet, and then the dice are rolled to decide who draws the cards first. Even if we can see which of the four decks of cards is bigger and which is smaller, we can't predict in advance which of the four doors will have the biggest deck before placing a bet?"

The diligent gods and ghosts said: "Wen Luzi relies on his eyesight and his mental formula. If my seniors can distinguish the size of the cards from the subtle traces of the dominoes, they will be able to guess who can draw the big cards as long as they have my trick. ”

"Are you proficient in the art of divination?" Wu Chuanfang stared at the courtesy, a little incredulous. Among the barbaric Dao methods, the technique of prediction and derivation is the most advanced Dao method.

Yin Qin laughed and said: "The predecessors think badly, the mental formula I said has nothing to do with divination, it is all based on the experience of the formula." The trick is like a layer of window paper, as long as I point out the key points to the seniors, you only need to poke it lightly, and the bottom of the barrel will fall off, and it will suddenly open up. ”

"Hurry up!" Wu Chuanfang couldn't hold back any longer, and urged a few words in a row, before he felt out of shape, and his old face blushed slightly, "If my brother can use the trick on me, your ancestor will come and stay for a few days, and I won't accept your spirit stones." In a hurry, he has already commensurate with a diligent brother.

He got off the donkey and said, "Why did my brother say this? My ancestor stayed in your mansion, it is the official business of Hua Ci Peak, how many spirit stones should be paid, and none of them can be missing from the old brother! The younger brother and the old brother hit it off at first sight, and saw that the old brother was obsessed with gambling and couldn't do it, so I talked to you about the way of civil and martial arts. This is a personal relationship between our brothers, and it must not be confused with official business. ”

Wu Chuanfang didn't expect that Yin Qin didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, and suddenly felt moved in his heart, and grabbed his arm and said: "Just say this to the elder brother, you little brother, the elder brother will admit it!"

"That little brother is Gao Pan's old brother!" Yin Qin was suddenly pulled by him, a little awkward, by picking up the dice from the table, he broke away without a trace, "Brother can you have a pen and paper here? The so-called mental formulas are actually all on these two dice." ”

"Yes, yes!" Wu Chuanfang only said that he wanted to write down a mantra for him, hurriedly ran to the corner of the house, took out a pen and paper and handed it to him.

"Brother, please listen to me carefully and listen to you, the text on this pai gow is also called the door of life and death. As a retail player, as long as you can get a glimpse of the size of the first four decks of cards in advance, even if you don't roll the dice, you can push out the door of life and death from the mantra of the heart." As long as you bet on the spirit stone to the door of life every time, according to the probability, a few rounds of cards down, you can win without losing. ”

"What is the probability?" Wu Chuanfang was confused.

Yin Qin accidentally said that he was gone, and continued with a smile in a busy smile: "Probability is the meaning of the size of the opportunity, it is the jargon of gamblers, and the elder brother doesn't have to care." All in all, the so-called door of life and death is to deduce from the size of the chances that these two dice can hit a few points. ”

Yin Qin first arranged the two dice into two points and said: "If you talk about the chance, the chances of the two dice hitting two points and twelve points are the smallest. He drew a six-by-six table on the paper, filled in the table one by one according to the number of points played by the two dice, and explained to Wu Chuanfang, "With this picture, you can push out the door of life and death from it." As can be seen from the figure, there is only one chance to hit two points, two times at three points, three times at four points, and so on, the chance of appearing at seven points is six times, eight points is five times, and then decreasing until twelve points, and the chance of opening is the smallest one. ”

Wu Chuanfang looked at the table drawn by Yin Qin, and realized something in his heart, as if a long-hidden thought in his heart finally sent out a small sprout.

"For example, if we can see that the first four cards are in the order of greatest, second-largest, second-smallest, and smallest. In this case, if the dice play two, six, ten points, then by the first to get the largest deck of cards, the dealer to get the smallest deck of cards, the dealer to pay three. In the picture above, it was found that the chance of hitting a two, six, and ten is nine out of thirty-six times. Continue to calculate, if the dice play three, seven, eleven points, then by the gate of heaven first take the largest deck of cards, the dealer gets the next lower deck of cards. For the dealer, the only way to go out is to lose the gate and the last door, and the chance to draw the cards first by the gate of heaven is ten times out of thirty-six. And so on, if the dice play four or ten points, by the end of the first touch card, the dealer touched the next big card, kill the gate of heaven and go out, the end of the door. Such opportunities are 9 out of 36. The worst is that the dice play five and nine, the dealer first touches the cards, and kills three, this chance is only eight out of thirty-six, which is not big. Based on the above four situations, we can see that in the first three cases, the dealer is all killed by the last door, and his chance to hit the dice is 28 times out of 36. So, under the combination of this card point, you can push the end of the door for the door, bet on the end of the door, there is nearly eighty percent of the chance, kill the dealer! ”

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a long time, watching Wu Chuanfang staring at the chart on the paper, his eyes changed from confusion to clear, and then he slowly continued: "At the moment, it is just a card game, and the four decks of small pai gow share twenty-four card types. At that time, the old brother only has to bet on the door, although he does not dare to say that he has tried all the tricks, but as long as the number of games is more, it is guaranteed to be a stable win-win situation. ”
