A Card Shark’s World - C17
Many gamblers, or rather, only towards those gamblers who had a nine out of ten bet and nine losses, had a sort of mentality.
For example, the starting point this time was small, the last time it was small, last time it was also small.
Then, they would think that the number of points they would be able to obtain this time around would definitely be small. In other words, everyone thought that the man was a god-like existence. If he said that he was too weak, then he would definitely show mercy.
Honestly, I don’t believe it. In addition, that person was simply too arrogant.
So, I have to kill his prestige.
However, when they saw me throw two thousand yuan on the ground, everyone’s gazes shot towards me. But I didn’t care. Sister Feng was behind me, so she didn’t say anything. However, I can see that Sister Feng doesn’t seem to be too satisfied with my actions.
That amount of two thousand yuan was also a lot. Even though elder sister Feng said that she would take out the 10,000 yuan for me to play with, I also knew that elder sister Feng wouldn’t be that rich either. If they had the money, who would come out to make a living?
Sister Feng ran to the side of the road to lay the dice. She should have her own difficulties, right?
After all, I bet two thousand on the dealer and the only person who’s happy about it is the dealer. This kind of bet was a good thing for him, because no matter which side won, they would kill the other. This way, the dealer wouldn’t have to take the risk of not being able to get the money back.
When the dealer opened the dice cup, everyone was shocked. The three dice were 5, 5, 6.
16 points, big, in the entire gambling table, only I won the money.
However, when the number of points reached a large amount, everyone’s spirits dropped. They envied my luck and felt a little regretful for the bet I had placed earlier. However, this was the case in the gambling house. He did not regret his words. Because of the gambling house, many people became bankrupt due to the decisions made between big and small.
Sister Feng was incredibly happy when she saw that I had won more than two thousand yuan in one go. However, when Sister Feng was in a good mood, my gaze was fixated on the person in front of me, the one who seemed to have a thousand points of power.
At this moment, he no longer had that vicious aura from before. He scratched his scalp and stared at the dice in the dealer’s hand. In that instant, I suddenly saw some special puzzlement in his eyes.
Of course, this puzzlement was fleeting.
After that, he bet again and still chose to bet 500 points. What was interesting was that after he placed his bet, it was time for him to leave. Half of the people who were with him previously didn’t follow him anymore. Instead, they looked at me.
Seeing this scene, I felt that it had become interesting. Without a second word, he threw out two thousand chips and placed another bet.
The moment the dealer opened the dice cup, the points changed again and changed to 2,2,5.
9 PM. I lost, and the man and the man behind him won.
After I lost, the people who bet with me shook their heads again. Looking at the crowd, I felt a little helpless. I didn’t know what these people had come here for, but even after placing all their bets, they still didn’t have their own opinions. Looking at others, how could he win money like this?
He had just won two thousand chips, and he had lost as quickly as he could. Obviously, Sister Feng was reluctant to part with it.
Seeing that I had been humiliated, that person laughed complacently. He had a ‘fight with me’ look on his face. The expression that said ‘I’m playing with you till you die’ appeared once again.
After that, I played it more than ten times. Of these ten times, I did it as I pleased. I didn’t go against that person anymore. Or rather, I was only observing that person, so I placed bets randomly.
After ten games, I also won a few hundred chips. I didn’t win many times, but each time I won, I lost five or six hundred chips. Every time he lost, it would only be one or two hundred.
After a dozen matches, it must be said that that person’s wager was very accurate. If he was Old Qian, it wouldn’t matter. If he wasn’t, his battle record could be said to be terrifying. He had only bet five hundred yuan each time, but he had won several thousand yuan in a mere dozen rounds.
Of course, what was even more serious was that the crowd behind him had won a total of tens of thousands of points.
Even if Brother Hu’s reputation wasn’t short of money, this kind of business was basically giving money away. It was really a scam.
At this point, someone might say that since that person was so powerful, they shouldn’t let him into the casino.
Theoretically, this kind of thing could be done. However, Hu-ge had said that if they were afraid of losing money in opening a casino, then what was the point of doing so?
Moreover, this also involved a credibility issue. If someone else dropped something or other and you caught them, you could reject their entry. [If you don’t let him in to play, won’t you lower the price of the casino?]
Sitting in my chair, I lit a cigarette. To outsiders, the time it took to finish a cigarette was only a few minutes. But for me, it was a very long time.
I’ll think about a lot more. What was the purpose of this man? If he was sent by someone else, or perhaps it could be said that he was only here to win money, then he could win quite a bit. Why do you bet hundreds of dollars each time? This was really a doubtful point.
Of course, this matter was not to be considered. I should have thought, how the hell did he know the size of the dice? If he had thousands of dices, then 1000 dices would inevitably be found. If he couldn’t even touch the dices, then how could he thousands of dices?
Could it be that someone was willing to cooperate with him?
I thought a lot, as if I had a clue, but it was as if everything I thought of had nothing to do with it.
A new round began. The other side bet another five hundred on the small one. After he was done, he suddenly looked at me. He looked at me, and I looked at him. This time, I didn’t bet, but stared at him wholeheartedly.
Being stared at by me might be a little uncomfortable. He turned his gaze away, and instead, placed it on the dealer’s body.
As expected, it was smaller this time. He won again. This time, I finally understood something in his eyes. That was a type of seeing through the situation. How to put it, he had complete confidence in seeing through it.
The moment the dealer opened the dice, he knew he would win.
Before, when I defeated him, he revealed a look of “why is it like this”.
I seem to know why he always wins. This was because the one who had sent out a thousand wasn’t him, but the dealer.
Yes, I was wrong from the start. He’d always thought that it was because of him. However, I had overlooked one fundamental thing. That was, he had not even touched the dice, how could there be a thousand?
And the only person who could touch the dice was the dealer. It’s impossible for a dealer to pay a thousand. This scene belongs to Brother Hu, and the dealer is also Brother Hu’s person, so I never placed my emphasis on the dealer.
Of course, I have to say that the dealer is indeed a good guy, he might know that I’m here to catch him, but in order to not let me notice him, his acting skills might have reached a peak, creating a kind of ‘I’m innocent, and I don’t want to lose every time.
At that time, there would also be that special thing for remote control dice. I thought about it too, and I even thought that the guy who always won had the remote control in his hand, and he could control the dice numbers. But I rejected that.
The reason for all of this was because of one of his actions.
Every time before he made a bet, that guy would glance at the dealer. Normally, if we bet, we’d be looking at the size of the card table. and the numbers of the history dice. There were records on the card table.
Everyone was looking at the card table, while his gaze was focused on the dealer. I wondered at first, and then I realized that the two men were signalling again. Every time the dealer raised his right hand, the points he got this time was a lot. Every time the dealer lifted his left hand, the points he got this time was small.
Knowing this, I didn’t say anything. Because, I am indeed here to catch an old man, but at the same time, I also want to win some money right?
This time, the dealer raised his right hand, indicating that the points should be high. The truth was as expected, that person had won a lot, but he had still won only five hundred.
After some thought, I threw all the chips I had on the table.
I threw out the chips all at once, and everyone present cried out in alarm once again. Even the dealer was shocked.
However, the moment the dealer opened the dice cup, large numbers of points quietly lied down in the dice cup.
