When Xiao Bei arrived at the entrance of the gambling house and was about to step in, seven people squeezed in in groups of three or four.
After Xiao Bei and the others entered, more than ten people in different outfits followed them in.
"I thought we were going to gamble. I didn't expect there to be a place to drink tea." When Xiao Bei entered the house, he found that there was no one shouting or gambling. Instead, there were many people drinking tea in a room that looked like a hall. They seemed to be in a good mood from the way they talked and laughed.
Smelling the tea in the air, Xiao Bei finally found that his nose was not always sensitive. At least, he couldn't distinguish the type of tea that others were drinking.
The curtain leading to the back was lifted from the inside, and a person with a red face walked out. He greeted the others with a smile, found a place to sit, and ordered someone to serve tea.
Xiao Bei didn't understand and stood there thinking.
Xiao Yuan saw it and whispered, "Those who win money and don't care about winning or losing come out to drink tea and eat snacks. Those who care about winning or losing and lose should leave from the back."
"Why should we leave from the back? It's only proper to walk in front. "Xiao Bei couldn't understand.
"Who knows? Let's go. Don't you want to see what it looks like inside? Let's go in." Xiao Yuan found that more than 30 people had come in from outside in a short time. She guessed that the secret guards were in place. She pulled Xiao Bei and walked in with a person who was walking in the back.
When they went in, they found that it was not a place to gamble, but an alley. After walking for about 30 steps, they finally heard the noise of shouting.
The nine little fellows and the six bodyguards followed the sound and entered. This time, it was bustling with noise and excitement. There were all kinds of people dressed up, and there were even a few who shamelessly bared their arms.
They began to look around. The hall was not small, and it was connected to other halls. There were many gambling devices, such as mahjong, poker, Pai Gow, billiards, shaking balls, and so on.
"How shameless. The things that Big Brother made for entertainment have all been copied by them. Look, there's a chess and Go game over there. Where did the dice go?" Xiao Bei curled his lips. He felt that the people in the gambling house should first pay a patent fee.
"Let's go. I like the dice game in big brother's story the most." Xiao Bei got excited and walked to the right.
When they entered, the smell of sweat and mud assaulted their nostrils, causing the nine little fellows to hold their breath for a moment. After a while, they slowly breathed in and adapted to the smell. Only then did their senses feel better.
This room was filled with dices. There were people from the gambling house who were the dealers, people who took turns to be the dealers, and there were also people who were two people, three people, and so on. There were no dealers, and they only competed on the size of the dice.
The nine of them were first brought to a table arranged by a dealer who was dressed in green and had both his sleeves rolled up. He looked very standard. With his sleeves rolled up, it was to let others know that he was not hiding any dice.
"The more you buy, the more you lose. The less you bet, the less you earn. Once you're done, leave." The dealer put the three dice into the colored cup and shook it for a while. Then, with a flip of his wrist, he turned the colored cup upside down on the table and shouted to the people around him.
This table only had the size of the dice, and there was no specific number of points on it.
Xiao Fang was very puzzled, "The more you buy, the more you lose. Does that mean that if we buy, we will lose?"
"No, it means that if we win, he will pay us more. If we bet less and win, we will earn less. In fact, what they are shouting is that they want us to lose more. It's a common saying. For example, in a pawnshop, if you bring a new piece of clothing, they will immediately shout 'Bitten by insects and rats, broken thread, faded color and missing edges.' Although the specific purpose is different, there must be a rule."
Xiao Hai explained to Xiao Fang, meaning that the gambling house wanted to be auspicious.
"Who wants to go first?" Xiao Bei took out five copper coins from his bag. Each coin was one copper coin, so there were five in total. He asked the other eight people.
Seeing that the others shook their heads at almost the same time, Xiao Bei eagerly said, "If you guys don't want to go first, then I will."
After the dealer shook another round, Xiao Bei immediately put one copper coin in the small place. The others also put in their coins. There were also people watching at the side, in case they did not put in their coins and said that they had let go.
Before the gambling cup was picked up, Xiao Bei's ears were buzzing from the other people's shouts. The shouts of "small" and "big" almost passed through the tent. Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, as if the louder they shouted, the more accurate they would be.
When the gambling cup was picked up, the three dice below were revealed. Four, four, five, big.
Xiao Bei watched as her one copper coin was taken away. He smacked his lips twice, his face filled with heartache.
"If you can't take it, let's not play, okay?" Xiao Yuan softly persuaded, "Don't be unable to sleep at night because of losing a few copper coins. I didn't see you frown when you gave them more money just now."
"It's different. When I gave the money, I was willing to give it. Now, I don't want to lose. I want to win. Outside, I was happy when I gave the money away. Here, I only feel happy when I get the money back. Now, I'll give you a task. Think of a way to let me win. "
Xiao Bei was very stubborn about the one copper coin she lost. She wanted to win it back and then win more to comfort her hurt heart.
Xiao Yuan shook his head vigorously. "I don't have a way. Why don't we find someone to ask? Look, there's a child beside you. Why don't they go to school and help others get money and introduce them?"
"You count the days yourself. Today is the school rest day set by my brother. Every three days, there's a rest day. Otherwise, the child will lose interest in learning. Of course, most children are good. In order to stand out, they usually study very hard. If they haven't suffered the hardship of not being able to afford to study, they won't experience the blessing of studying. "
Xiao Bei spoke as if she had experienced the vicissitudes of life. She was used to speaking like this. As for whether she really understood, it was not important.
Xiao Yuan cooperated. "Yes, so it's useless to regret after losing it. It's better to cherish the … person in front of you."
"Okay, okay, I'll cherish it. Especially the opportunity to bully others. If I don't take advantage of the opportunity to bully others, what should I do when I can't bully them in the future?"
"Bet, bet. What are you betting this time?" Xiao Yuan was very wise and no longer sought her status in the family.
"Last time, I lost. This time, I'll bet again. I don't believe it." Xiao Bei took another copper coin and pressed it on the 'small' button.
"Put your bets away. Three, four, five, big. Eat small and lose big. "With a clatter, Xiao Bei's copper coin was returned to the other party.
Xiao Bei lowered her head and thought for a while. When she raised her head, she muttered, "That's too much of a bully. Brother, help me. Didn't brother say that all gambling houses don't welcome mathematicians? Even if that gambling house says that it's impossible to calculate the rules of the game, it's still the same. "
Xiao Bei was naturally talking about Xiao Hai. When she said brother, it was Zhang Xiaobao.
Xiao Hai's eyes were fixed on the dealer. He did not pay attention to the 'big' and 'small' numbers on the table or the dice.
When he heard his sister's question, he helplessly shook his head and said, "No, in theory, the chances of big and small are the same. Normally, we can win, unless our luck is very bad. This is because we only need to look at the numbers of the bets on the table. The side that bets the least amount of money each time has the highest chance of winning.
However, there is a problem here. The dealer's rule is that if three of the same number of points are the same, they will win. One die is divided into three and four points, two dice are divided into six and seven points, and three dice are divided into nine and ten points. Because the smallest number of three dice is three, there are two fewer chances. It is impossible for a 'two' and 'one' to appear, unless it is the special shaking method in brother's story.
Therefore, in theory, the probability of betting big is higher than betting small. But, but, but, but, the dealer also understands this principle. Therefore, when he is shaking the dice, if his skill is good, he will have to take into account his artificial factors.
How do you want me to calculate? How would I know the dealer's psychological preference? I have been observing him all this time and found that his eyes are always so indifferent. No matter if it is a big loss or a big gain, I can't detect the slightest change in his expression. "
Xiao Bei blinked her eyes and said, "It is good to have a good brother. At least we know where the problem lies. So it is the dealer's problem. He is playing a psychological game with us. I guess that he is also calculating. He is calculating the thoughts of the people around the table who are participating in the gambling. He is calculating the profession and personality of each of them.
According to this, I won't be able to get my two copper coins back today? Really, if I had known, I wouldn't have bet. Ai, the landlord doesn't have any extra food. "
Xiao Bei continued to worry about the two copper coins she lost.
"I'll do it." Zhang Qiang's eyes narrowed. He then found a child who worked at the gambling house and bought a normal dice from him.
Zhang Qiang held the dice in his small hand and came to the table. He took out four copper coins and bet them on 'small'.
"Place your bets. Four, five, six, big. Eat small and lose big." The dealer picked up the dice cup and shouted. He did not shout 'eat all', which meant that even if the table was shaken with a 'one, two, three', they would not lose.
Zhang Qiang did not care. When the dealer finished shaking the dice again, he took out the dice he bought and casually threw it on the table. It was a four, so he took out eight copper coins and bet on 'big'.
The dealer opened the cup. "One, three, two, small. Eat big and lose small."
Zhang Qiang's eight copper coins were gone. He continued to wait for the dealer to shake. When the dice cup fell, he took out sixteen copper coins and continued to shake the dice in his hand. It was a two, small. He put sixteen copper coins on 'small'.
The dealer opened the cup and Zhang Qiang lost again. His luck was really bad.
However, Zhang Qiang did not give up and continued to do so.
The amount of money he bet began to change. After a few times, he had bet 4096 copper coins. There were notes and coins.
This amount of money was not small. Many people's monthly wages could not reach this level. The dealer's forehead was sweating.
He had already seen that the child who bet money was definitely not from an ordinary family. They did not care about money at all. Of course, his boss was not afraid of them, but he could not always shake out a leopard every time.
If he really did that, once the child came home and told him, he would be dragged to a secluded place one night within three days. Then he would be buried in the ground or drowned in a river.
If he did not shake out a leopard, he could only rely on his years of experience to guess the other party's character and choice when betting.
But the problem was that the other party's choice was the size of the dice they threw. He could control the size of the dice he shook, but how could he know if the other party threw a big or small one?
The dealer trembled and his eyes began to look elsewhere. He wanted to find the adult who came with the child. As long as he found the adult, it would be easy. He could continuously shake out 'small'. Even if his luck was bad, he believed that he could still lose once. At most, he would lose four copper coins.
For example, the next round was 8192 copper coins. After losing, the child had already lost 8188 copper coins. Overall, he would lose four copper coins. He would just treat it as playing with the child.
Otherwise, he would not be able to bear it.
