A Card Shark’s World - C12
If I were on the side of the road now, I would encounter this kind of person who played dice with money.
I didn’t even look at it. It was just like a college student, it was boring to calculate how much 1 + 1 equaled to.
Now that he thought about it, following the increase in the power of governance and the increase in the awareness of the masses, this street toy seemed to have disappeared.
Of course, nothing was absolute. In some places like the city and town parks, this kind of thing still happened. If you do, I advise you to leave quickly. You can stand by and watch, but don’t bet.
Why do you say that? The reason is simple. As I said earlier, the awareness of the masses is increased.
This kind of street stuff was actually a form of deceit. It couldn’t even be considered a real bet.
On the floor was a plank, and on the plank was a picture of the Nine Palaces, with the words 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 respectively.
Take three more dice and put them in a metal bowl with a fan attached to it. With each shake, the fan will stop moving and you can place your bet.
If you bet ten dollars on one, you put the money in grid one.
Take down the fan. If there is one in the dice number, you will be compensated twenty dollars.
Of course, if the points were the same and a leopard 1 appeared, then you would also lose the money, because leopards kill everyone.
This was actually a scam, a form of scam that was also very low level.
That was the dealer, that is, the dice shaking people had their tricks up their sleeves.
In other words, there was something fishy about the dice. Those dice were all specially made. For example, there were some magnets inside. When the dices were put into the iron bowl, there would also be a magnet under the bowl, which would attract and repel each other. When you could not see it, the dices in the bowl had already started to change.
Of course, there were also some mercurial dices and the like. However, this kind of construction was very expensive.
The dealer in front of me who asked me to play a few games, his dice, they are not that high grade, they were only mixed with some magnetism, otherwise they would not have been put in a metal bowl.
The owner of the house was a middle-aged woman. She was quite young and her voice was pleasant to hear. Her bones gave her the feeling of being able to seduce someone. But I know this kind of woman isn’t simple.
“We can play a few. But I didn’t bring any money with me. ” After the Zhuang family finished speaking, I replied with a smile.
Who knew that after I finished my sentence, before the dealer could say anything, two people who were playing by the side yelled out, “If you don’t have any money to play, then go up and watch.”
When they finished, I didn’t care either, because I waited for the dealer to speak. As expected, the Zhuang family spoke up.
“This watch of yours is pretty good, little brother, how about I make a price for you and play a few games?”
From the moment I started walking this way, I purposely revealed the watch I was wearing.
In those days, watches were a rarity. I had my watch, which I had won a thousand dollars and bought. I spent almost five hundred dollars.
Now that the dealer wanted to offer me a price of two hundred, I agreed. He squatted down to play with them.
At this moment, a person ran out from the crowd and pulled me away. I turned around and saw that it was Mouse. Brother, don’t play with them. They’re liars.
After Mouse said this, the face of the manor lord paled. Those who were nearby who came to watch the show exclaimed in shock.
Actually, I already knew that they were scammers, and I also knew that the two people who told me to stand by the side without money were both with the Zhuang family.
They had only just started dealing with this trap, and the two guys who were speaking were here to set it up. They would bet first and win a few rounds first to let the onlookers place their bets. However, he didn’t expect to meet me. Moreover, he didn’t expect the rat to come over and stop him.
I didn’t have a good impression of Mouse, but now it seems he’s a nice guy.” Only, they’re setting up a board, and I’m setting up a board. I pushed Mouse to the ground and said to Mouse, “You don’t have to worry about me. “He’s a good person and knows that I don’t have any money. He can even give me money by offering me things as a price.
When I spoke, I spoke very slowly and very slowly, as if I were a fool.
After that, I took out a hundred dollars and threw it on the board. I looked at the dealer and said, Number one to five, ten dollars each.
My actions surprised the people around me. Logically speaking, generally speaking, when one played with this thing, they would press down on a number. However, I ended up betting on 5 numbers all of a sudden.
It gave off the feeling of a fool.
Ignoring those weird gazes, I said to the dealer, “If the dice are 123, then I would have won all of them and gotten 60 pieces.”
When I finished speaking, the dealer almost couldn’t control his laughter. Subsequently, the other two fellows separately placed their bets.
When the dice came out, I knew it was a leopard. That was because the dealer touched the bottom of the bowl. I know, she put the magnet down again. Furthermore, I was too lazy to continue talking. The method of placing the magnet in her hand was too clumsy. With my sharp eyes, I could see the magnet in her hand.
With this move, she could only fool the surrounding people who were eating melon. With an old man’s eyes, if this method was used in a real gambling house, then there was only one thing waiting for her.
That was to be caught for a thousand times and prepare to be chopped off.
The moment they removed the fan, the leopard appeared in front of them. The dealer chuckled and said “kill him” before pocketing all the money.
Before I could say anything, the two people beside me slapped their thighs in regret. They were all grumbling about how unlucky they were, and saying that this was a big deal.
Seeing these two bros acting so well, I was also drunk.
I can’t fall behind, I also slapped my thigh, I said, no, that’s not right, that’s 1, I bet 1, I should pay.
Once these words were said, everyone was shocked once again. They kept whispering to each other, saying that I’m a fool who came to bet without even understanding the rules.
As for the lady from the Zhuang family, she had a face full of concern as she started to explain the rules to me, saying that once a leopard appeared, she would kill it.
Hearing that, I thought for a moment. What if I bet on a leopard? As I said this, I placed the remaining one hundred and fifty dollars on the board.
If, say, the dealer said cannot press leopard, then my game is also yellow, I lost a watch set in vain, did not succeed. Only 150 yuan, of course.
But I know that she won’t say no, because I analyzed her before we started. She thinks I’m a fool and wants to win my money. If I go. Mouse left. They will continue to lie.
I have to say, Mouse’s words just now were quite helpful to my shooting board.
As expected, the dealer said that it was fine to oppress a leopard. I said, how many times do I put the leopard down? If it were twice as much, I wouldn’t press it. The dealer smiled and asked me how many times, and I said, Ten times.
This odds is pretty high. Perhaps the dealer thought he could win for sure, so he agreed and let me bet on it!
But, I said, smiling, I was just asking. The Zhuang family rolled his eyes.
Then I bet one, two, three, four, five, ten dollars. Just like last time.
This time, the manager didn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. I know, this dealer did it on purpose. He wants me to win once. Could there be a leopard? After all, there were still some people around who were ready to make a bet.
Thus, all of this was within my plans.
The moment the dealer took the fan away, I shouted, “Wait a minute, I still need to press!”
After I finished speaking, the Zhuang family frowned and said, “If you want to buy, you have to leave. You have to put down the next time.”
However, I immediately said, “I feel that this is a leopard. I want to bet a hundred dollars on this leopard.” After I said those words, I threw the money over with a sincere expression.
When a hundred dollars appeared in front of the dealer, I think the dealer was overjoyed. Because she knew that this time, the dice would not show a leopard, because she did not set up a trap.
So she agreed.
In that case, my plan worked. Of course, the last step is for me to open the fan.
When the dealer agreed, I stepped in front of her and put my hand on her hand to open the fan.
After taking the fan away, the leopard had 6 points and was quietly lying in the bowl.
The leopard’s silence was met with silence from the others. Of course, moments later, everyone exclaimed in shock …
Hmm, at this stage, this round was finally over.
