Li Du laughed heartily and said, "I'm just kidding. Alright, tell me, where did this genius come from?"
Hans sneered, "Still laughing? Very well, I'll introduce you. I hope you can still laugh after you understand. "
It was common knowledge that nine out of ten gambles were lost. Many people lost their entire family fortune. However, there were people who could win nine out of ten gambles. Of course, it was not Li Du. Li Du won ten out of ten gambles.
Some people were naturally sensitive to numbers. After they received systematic education in mathematics and psychology, they became gambling masters.
These people were real. They did not use tricks, but used the rules to win by memorizing cards and calculating.
On the surface, the casino had rules. If the gamblers used tricks to win, then the dealer could take violent measures to recover the money and punish the gamblers. But what if the gamblers relied on their brains to win? They also had a way to deal with this, and that was to set up a hall of fame.
Many sports in the world had halls of fame. The NFL Hall of Fame, the NBA Hall of Fame, the FIBA Hall of Fame, and so on.
The Las Vegas Hall of Fame also recorded the king of gambling. However, once one entered the hall of fame, it was equivalent to being blacklisted. In the future, they would not be allowed to enter any casino.
The casino could do this, but the reason was very difficult. The casino was a private place, and they had the right to not welcome certain people.
Blackjack was a very popular gambling game. It was also the most suitable game for mathematical geniuses. As early as half a century ago, mathematicians discovered that this was the only gambling game that could theoretically beat the dealer.
In 1961, two famous professors at MIT, Edward Thorpe and Claude Shannon, first thought of using a wearable computer to sneak into the casino and calculate the winnings through the computer.
Of course, using a computer was still cheating. It was just that modern technology was used. At that time, the casino did not understand this.
However, the computer hardware was very poor and unreliable. It always malfunctioned, and the two of them won some and lost some.
Through one of the winning games, Edward Thorpe saw the possibility of using probability and mathematics to beat the dealer. He changed his focus to Blackjack theory, and started the topic of the dealer's game strategy.
In 1962, he wrote his first best-selling book, "Beat the Dealer." It was this book that laid the foundation for the theory of the blackjack algorithm and opened a new era of mathematical geniuses fighting against the dealer.
Among them, Little Boy Kim was one of these mathematical geniuses. He was also an expert in psychology. Mathematics and psychology made him successful in gambling.
This expert was born in Madison, Wisconsin. At the age of 18, when he had just come of age, he won the first world championship of his professional career as an inexperienced rookie, the champion of a formal poker tournament.
After that, Jin Zeng appeared in the finals of the World Poker Champions League more than 20 times, winning a total of more than four million US dollars, setting off a storm in the world of casinos.
However, at that time, he was not even 21 years old, so the casinos in Las Vegas were spared from his torment. Unfortunately, as time passed, he was still 21 years old.
On his 21st birthday, he went to Las Vegas and entered one of the largest casinos, the Hundred Joy Palace Casino Hotel. That night, he left after raking in six million dollars.
It was said that that night, he won all the blackjack games he participated in, not losing a single round.
After he left the casino, Las Vegas immediately sent him to the Hall of Fame. A few major casinos joined forces and specially hired retired FBI experts to follow him, to prevent him from coming back.
As for why they did not send him to the Hall of Fame in advance, there was an unspoken rule that people who had not entered the casino before could not be sent to the Hall of Fame. This was to attract customers.
Secondly, many of the dealers in the casinos were not convinced. They thought that he was just a hype and wanted to fight it out with him.
In the end, after one night, a group of experienced dealers were beaten into submission, and no one dared to compete with him at the blackjack table again.
Hans said, "From the time he was 21 until now, it should have been ten years, right? I haven't heard of him in this period of time. I thought he was killed by the casino. "
The Playboy shook his head and said, "No, Little Boy Kim is a very powerful guy. He started his career early and gained fame so that the casinos would not dare to harm such a famous person. After all, this is America."
"Then why haven't we heard any news of him?" Hans was puzzled.
The Playboy explained, "Because he has always been in Las Vegas. A few casinos have joined forces to worship him, and he is in charge of the blackjack games here. He can spend as much as he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about food or drink here."
As they talked, they entered the casino. A skinny, middle-aged white man looked at them from a distance, expressionless and cold.
Godzilla glanced at him and said in a low voice, "This is also a ruthless character. I've seen such people before. They are cold-blooded killers."
Li Du said, "In a life and death battle, who is stronger?"
"If I have a weapon, I will be killed by him. If I am bare-handed, I can kill him," Godzilla said.
The Playboy looked at Godzilla in surprise. He knew the identity and ability of this middle-aged white man. He also knew Godzilla's temper, and he was not someone who would boast.
Since Godzilla thought that he could kill his opponent bare-handed, the Playboy had to re-evaluate Godzilla's combat ability. In the past, he had underestimated this quiet Mexican man.
The middle-aged man led the way, and they took the elevator to the top floor.
The top floor was also a casino. It was surrounded by one-way glass, and one could overlook the surrounding scenery from above.
There were a few gambling tables in the middle, with Texas Hold'em, dice, blackjack, and so on. Some of the more popular gambling methods could be seen here.
A blonde white man in his thirties laughed when he saw them, and said, "Akkalou, my good brother, you are finally back. I thought you would sneak away just now."
This man was very handsome, cold and cool. He had a chiseled facial line, and wore a tailored suit. His blue eyes were like two gemstones, and he exuded a masculine charm from head to toe.
The Playboy laughed, "Where could I sneak off to? I only went to find a helper. "
The man looked at Li Du with interest and said, "This Eastern friend is Chinese, right? Aren't you going to introduce me? "
The Playboy said bluntly, "There's no need for introductions. You guys can't be friends anyway."
The man ignored him, and extended his hand to Li Du in a friendly manner. "I am Alessandro Ferrari. My friends call me Knight. You can call me that."
