Boxing match? "Chen Chen asked curiously.
Leo quickly regained his composure and explained with a smile, "You should have watched UFC before. Unlike UFC, this kind of boxing match has no rules. Whether it's hands, legs, or even teeth, they can all be used as weapons."
"Yes, although many people like to watch UFC, it's the unruly boxing match that really stimulates one's adrenaline!"
Davis revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "There are no medical personnel, no physical examinations, no doping tests, not even referees. The only difference between victory and defeat is that one side remains standing and the other falls."
"I've never seen something like this before. What are we waiting for?" Chen Chen took the lead and walked forward.
Leo, who was slightly behind, looked at Chen Chen's back with a gloomy look in his eyes. Then, he exchanged a glance with Davis beside him.
Davis nodded, and then the four of them quickly followed.
When they arrived at the casino, Chen Chen found that the originally closed doors of the casino had been completely opened. Not only that, but there was also a large crowd gathered inside. Most of the passengers of the cruise were gathered here.
Before they even entered the door, a fiery atmosphere surged out of them.
"Looks like the person we invited hasn't arrived yet." Leo said with some regret, "In that case, Chen, why don't you play a few rounds of 'Blackjack' with us first?"
"What's' Blackjack '?" Chen Chen asked casually.
"Oh, dear Chen, you don't even know what 'Blackjack' is?"
Leo did not know whether to laugh or cry. He simply pulled Chen Chen's sleeve and walked inside. "Come, dear Chen, let us give you a good lesson!"
With that, he pulled Chen Chen into the casino.
It was not until they entered the casino that Chen Chen began to understand why so many successful people with hundreds of millions of dollars would be so obsessed with this kind of place. They would even lose their self-control and gamble wildly, eventually burning everything to the ground.
The interior of the casino was magnificently decorated. The thick and intricate carpets, the gorgeous golden inscriptions on the walls, and the huge crystal chandelier at the top of the hall made this place look like a paradise on earth.
However, under this splendid decoration, there was a psychological hint of doing one's best —
The windows here could not be seen outside, so people could not feel the passage of time;
There was no mirror here that could be used to reflect, so no one could see their twisted and ferocious faces.
Furthermore, the extremely considerate service, as well as the chips in his hands that he couldn't feel the flow of money, all of these made him abandon all rationality, and he could only sink endlessly …
The livelier the casino's atmosphere was, the more the air was filled with a "hysterical" atmosphere.
Walking along the aisle in the center of the casino, Chen Chen had already seen several gamblers with bloodshot eyes. They pushed in their chips recklessly, panting heavily. They had lost all sense of reason.
Humans had spent millions of years to evolve rationality, but gamblers had abandoned it in just three minutes.
Before Prince Steele invited the eleven corporations, he indicated that he would allow them to invite their friends and relatives to board the ship. That was why there was such a large group of people on board.
Most of these people were small tycoons or wealthy businessmen who used their connections to board the ship in order to get to know more people. Chen Chen even saw a few Chinese people among them.
At this time, a handsome young man with long brown hair brushed past Chen Chen while constantly explaining to his companions around him:
"This is the last time I'm buying chips. This 4 million is my final stubbornness. You won't see me topping up a dollar in this casino again. I'm going to win four hundred million with this 4 million!"
Chen Chen shook his head slightly. It was not that easy to win four hundred million in a casino...
Leo, Davis, and the others pulled Chen Chen to a gambling table. There was a hint labeled "Blackjack" on it. According to them, this was Blackjack.
"Blackjack, it's actually 21 points."
Leo quickly explained to Chen Chen, "First, take two to three decks of cards. Remove the two aces from each deck. Among the remaining cards, 2 to 9 are the corresponding points. 10, J, Q, and K are all 10 points. Aces are 1 or 11 points depending on the situation. The outcome of the game is very simple. Players can keep taking cards and compete based on the points of the cards in their hands. However, the total number can only add up to 21 points. If it exceeds 21 points, it'll be a direct loss due to a" hole in the cards ". If the number is the same, it's a draw."
"So, who am I playing against?" Chen Chen asked.
"It's the dealer." Davis pointed to the sexy dealer across the table. "The game is divided into the dealer and the players. All the players only have to compete with the dealer. We don't have to compete with each other."
"That's right. After all the players have taken their cards, it's the dealer's turn to see their cards. The dealer's rule is: when the number is greater than or equal to 17 points, no cards are taken. Conversely, all players take cards until 17 points. If a hole is broken, all the players win."
Leo added, "Tonight's dealer is Prince Lester. He's sponsored each of us a hundred thousand US dollars."
As Leo spoke, a casino employee took out a few chips and handed them to everyone. Chen Chen also picked a few and held them in his hand.
"Then let's play a round." Davis could not wait. "My hands are itching."
As he spoke, he sat on a chair and put down his chips, signaling the dealer across the table to deal.
Chen Chen shook his head and sat in the second seat beside him. He threw down two chips.
For the first time, Chen Chen's side took a face card and a clear card. The face card was the Two of Spades and the clear card was the Ten of Diamonds.
Chen Chen frowned. The sum of two and ten happened to be a number that was neither up nor down. If he continued to take cards, the next card might directly break. If he chose to end taking cards, the chances of losing were also very high.
After that, Chen Chen looked at the dealer across the table. The dealer's clear card was 7.
"Sir in the first seat, would you like to continue?" The dealer followed the procedure and began to ask for Leo's opinion.
"D * mn it, I don't want any more!"
Leo scolded with a smile. His clear card was the Ten of Hearts, the same as Chen Chen.
A game of chance? It seemed like this could be solved with mathematics...
Seeing this, Chen Chen could not help but tilt his head.
[My points are 12 and the dealer's clear card is 7. If I choose to end taking cards, then according to the rule that 'the dealer must be greater than or equal to 17 points' that Leo mentioned earlier, there's only one way for me to win. That is, the dealer breaks cards.]
[Let the probability of the dealer breaking cards be P (S). Then, there are 13 possibilities for the dealer's face card: T represents 10, J, Q, K, then at F (T + 7), if the dealer doesn't draw a card, it won't break cards, disregarding...]
[At F (9 + 7), drawing 6 ~ T will result in a break card, F (9 + 7) = 8/13... and so on.
Finally, P (S) = ∑ F = 0.26231]
[In other words, if I end taking cards at this point, my chances of winning are 26.231%.]
Chen Chen glanced at Leo and Davis beside him and continued to think.
[However, if I continue to take cards, there are two scenarios in which I can win: 1. The next card will not be punctured by me and the dealer will be punctured by me; 2. Neither the dealer nor I will be punctured by me, but I have more points. The probability can be set as P (H)]
[The probability of the dealer breaking cards is the same as above, but if it's the second scenario, then it's divided into four scenarios. P1, I get 21 points and the dealer gets 20 to 17 points; P2, I get 20 points and the dealer gets 19 to 17 points; P3, I get 19 points and the dealer gets 18 to 17 points; P4, I get 18 points and the dealer gets 17 points...]
[Let's analyze this. If the next card I draw goes from 12 to 13, then I've drawn an ace. Therefore, we can set W (12) = 1, then W (13) = W (12) × 1/13 = 0.07692.]
[From this, we can calculate W (18) and the dealer takes 17 points. Using the same principle, we can calculate Z (17). Therefore, the formula for the fourth possibility is P4 = W (18) + Z (17). Similarly, we can calculate P1, P2, P3...]
[Therefore, when the probabilities of the four scenarios are added together, it's P (H) = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 + P (S) × 9/13 = 0.43577.]
[In other words, when I continue to take cards, my winning rate is 43.577%, which is higher than the winning rate when I end taking cards...]
All this seemed to take a long time, but it was just a flash in Chen Chen's mind. When Chen Chen raised his head again, it was just his turn to speak.
"Sir in position 2, would you like to continue?" The dealer asked softly.
"One more."
