Chapter 1044: Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains
.
Seeing Cheng Yu throw down a pile of thousand-yuan denominations of Thai baht, he roughly estimated that there were about ten pieces, which was more than 10,000 baht.
This kind of bet amount would not be surprising at all if it were placed in the VIP room of a regular casino. Even in the midfield of a regular casino, there are many people who bet thousands of soft money, but that is in Macau. In Macau, The minimum gambling table in the casino starts at 100 yuan, so it won’t feel strange to bet a few thousand yuan, and there is no need to bet in a hurry. Late at night or early in the morning, in the casino hall of Taipa Galaxy,
Almost every day, you can see one person occupying a gaming table, and each bet is from a few thousand to ten thousand yuan. These people all have access to the VIP room, but they are worried that they will be in trouble if they get up and down. For those who bet one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, it is very easy for them to lose a few thousand dollars to a hand of cards without any pain or itch.
way of leisure.
And here, it's Thailand, it's Bangkok. And it's an underground casino with only five gaming tables and no maximum bet. It's really underground. People's underground means illegal. The underground here is underground. If it weren't for the people With so much stupid money, who would bet like this in a casino like this? Didn’t you see, you can even see twenty and fifty baht banknotes on this gaming table, which means that the minimum bet amount here probably does not accept coins. Now, the starting price of banknotes is twenty baht.
If it becomes soft money, it is just over four yuan. The minimum limit of a Macau casino is one hundred thousand Portuguese dollars, and the maximum limit is generally one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, and this ratio is a ratio calculated through actuarial science. Cheng Yu I have taken many courses in the actuarial department and am very familiar with many theories in the gambling industry. Simply put, the most direct reason for limiting bets is to prevent people from betting with unlimited funds. In the first game, I lost 10,000 yuan. If you have enough money, you can double it. In this way, as long as you have enough funds, you can always win, that is, the total profit is 10,000 yuan. Then start from the beginning. Theoretically, this kind of gambling is guaranteed to make money without losing money. Of course, the premise is that the funds are unlimited. , you can withstand losing ten or twenty games in a row and still continue to provide doubled profits.
Gambling capital. After all, starting from ten thousand yuan, according to this gambling method, if you lose twenty times in a row, that is nearly twenty billion, which is obviously beyond the scope of what normal gamblers can provide.
But the problem is, no one can be sure that Buffett will not bring five major consortiums to the casino to place bets. He can kill a country with stocks, so why can't he use huge funds to crush your casino?
Therefore, the limit came into being. But the size of the limit is also learned. After all, it is necessary to prevent high rollers from killing dragons, and to maximize gamblers' bets, so as to maximize the casino's interests. This requires the establishment of a mathematical model. Use actuarial science knowledge
Let’s do the calculations.
In short, the minimum bet is 100 Portuguese dollars, and the limit is usually 100,000 and 200,000, while in those VIP rooms, the minimum bet is 1,000 Portuguese dollars, and the maximum bet is 2 million. This ratio is basically here. Like Cheng Yu now This small casino is so vicious that it even accepts bets of 20 baht. In theory, their upper limit of bets should be between 20,000 and 40,000 baht. This is the safest number that can maximize profits. Of course, the operator of this casino obviously doesn’t understand this, and he doesn’t need to understand this. He just needs to lure gamblers to bet as much as possible. This kind of casino will not really play with you with probability. When you encounter gamblers who are obviously richer, of course they will let you taste the sweetness first. When your bet amount is large, they will start to close the net, and there will be endless ways to get in. And if you are really unlucky, God, I won
If the money wants to leave, sorry, things like sap will happen one after another. Otherwise, why would this kind of casino be opened in such a wet and damp alley? Cheng Yu estimated that the so-called more than 100 people in Bangkok
Among all casinos, there are probably only a handful of low-end casinos like this. The ones that are open in office buildings or high-end hotels are the mainstream ones.
Casinos probably won't engage in these tricks. As long as they calculate properly, operate well, and rely on probability, they can make money. There is no need to engage in these tricks.
However, in a casino like this, it should be easier to find out the whereabouts of people like Claren.
Therefore, Cheng Yu pretended to be a high-roller as soon as he came up, and spent more than 10,000 baht without counting.
Cheng Yu noticed that the person who led him in saw the wad of Thai baht he had handed over and immediately winked at the dealer. The dealer also winked back, and the two of them instantly understood what to do next.
operate.
After the croupier called out the buy-out, he specifically informed Cheng Yu in Chinese, and then began to distribute cards. The banker's card was held by a gambler who bet on the banker, while the player's card was placed
At the table, no one dared to raise their hand. After all, Cheng Yu's bet alone exceeded the bets of the entire table. In theory, everyone bet the largest amount.
The one who reads the cards, unless he gives up on his own.
Cheng Yu was the kind of person who chose to give up. He said to the dealer: "Just open it."
The croupier was a little surprised, but soon realized that 10,000 baht was by no means a normal move for this Chinese gambler. He was just testing the waters.
So, the dealer directly helped Cheng Yu turn over the two cards, one King and one 8, which were considered very big cards. The person who took the dealer's card held a 7 in his hand, and then
He kept rubbing the card at the bottom. This was something that Cheng Yu had always found difficult to understand. Isn’t playing cards just a matter of just turning it over and seeing the result? So it’s in hand
It was squeezed and rubbed, but it was impossible to change the reality of what the card was. This was not Schrödinger's cat, saying that before the card was revealed, it could be any card from the Ace to the King.
In the end, it was a 3. Although the two cards added up to only zero points, Cheng Yu's card, which added up to eight points, had become a regular card, so the dealer didn't even have the chance to add more cards and lost directly.
ended this round
.
The dealer paid the compensation as usual. After counting Cheng Yu's bet, he found that it was 14,000 baht, so the money on Cheng Yu's desk became 28,000 baht. When the dealer indicated again that he could place bets, Cheng Yu
Instead of taking back the money on the table, Yu took out some more Thai bahts from his pocket. This time he counted them and pulled out twelve cards, making up a total of 40,000 Thai bahts.
Bet amount.
In the casino, there were several sounds of air-conditioning sucking. Obviously, few people in this casino would see such a high amount of bets. Even the dealer was a little stunned. Theoretically, Cheng Yu's this time
The bet has almost reached the maximum limit of this gambling table. Of course, it does not mean that no matter how high it is, it will collapse immediately. You can even place a million or ten million and it will not collapse. But if there is no limit on bets, this gambling table will have
Maybe he was defeated by mathematics. There are too many mathematical formulas involved here, so I won’t introduce them one by one. The croupier glanced at the casino surveillance with some worry. Although he was still shouting "bet bet", he was obviously a little nervous.
Hesitating. He looked at the surveillance camera to ask the people behind him if there should be a limit on the amount of this kind of bet?
The purpose of hesitation is to delay the opening time of this round and give others behind you enough time to notify yourself or even change the dealer.
But there was no reaction from behind. I don’t know if I didn’t notice the situation here, or I thought I could watch it for a while. It should be the latter. After all, the emotions on this gaming table are obviously much higher than the others, and even
Gamblers from other gambling tables have begun to gather here. Unless the people behind are asleep, it will be difficult for them to do so.
Didn't notice what was going on here. After settling down, the croupier decided to follow the established strategy. He shouted "Buy the deal" and swept the table with the card dealer in his hand, which meant that no more bets were allowed. Of course,
Still like a dog leg, talking to Cheng Yu in Chinese
After explaining it alone, he is a high-roller after all, and he deserves such respect. Cheng Yu still bet on the Player. After the Banker got the cards, he nervously opened the first one. After seeing that it was Jack, he opened the first one.
He started to rub the second card and kept shouting one word in his mouth. The people behind him also bet on the banker.
The people also shouted that word together. Cheng Yu estimated that it should be the pronunciation of "nine" in Thai. The first card was zero, and the second card would of course hope to be nine.
After a long time, the second card was finally revealed, and it turned out to be an 8, but it also constituted a regular card. No matter what points Cheng Yu got, he could not add more cards, and no one could beat him except 9 points, so the chance of winning was already there.
Very big.
Cheng Yu, on the other hand, smiled and said to the dealer in an understatement: "Open it."
The dealer easily flipped the cards, a 4 and a 5, which were really nine points. The man who was looking at the dealer's cards was so angry that he violently threw the two cards in his hand on the gaming table.
Cheng Yu won again, but Cheng Yu also saw from the dealer's little actions that the dealer deliberately let him win. This is a consistent trick of this kind of underground casino. If you rely on probability to win money, for this kind of small casino
There is absolutely no point in coming. There are too few gamblers, the stakes are too low, and if you work hard to wait for the probabilities, you will lose money if you have a bad day. Those regular casinos rely on probabilities to win money, which does not mean they can win money every day.
I can only say that I have a high probability of winning every day, but if I lose money for two days in a row, or there are a few big gamblers, I really rely on card counting and gambling skills to win.
Of course, it doesn't matter to the big casinos if the money goes away. They have enough capital to support them. But these small casinos will have no money to open on the third day if things go wrong. This kind of thing, even in Macau, where Stanley Ho has been a casino for forty years
Before the franchise, the gambling industry in Macau was mixed and chaotic. Many small gambling stalls like the one where Cheng Yu is now were also legal businesses.
In those days, there was indeed a gambler who gambled so much that a casino was unable to exchange all the chips he won, and eventually had to sell the casino, or even lose the casino directly.
If you want to say that there are no crooks or tricks in this kind of underground casino, absolutely no one will believe it.
This dealer is obviously manipulative and uses the same trick. They let you win a little at first, and then as your bets get bigger and bigger, they will start to make you lose money continuously, and finally get out of the house.
Cheng Yu knew it was a scam, so he happily dug in. Anyway, he would definitely get the money back in the end. If it was a medium-to-large casino with at least dozens of subordinates, Cheng Yu might still be restrained.
A little bit, like this
There are at most ten people in this small casino, inside and outside, and Cheng Yu can get them to hand over all their wealth in less than two minutes.
Of course, that was robbery and was against the law. Cheng Yu would definitely not bother to do it, but it could still be done if he wanted these guys to admit to cheating, return Cheng Yu's money and pay a fine.
Even though Cheng Yu is currently in a period of non-money, Cheng Yu will never allow someone to cheat him out of money.
In the third hand, Cheng Yu did not take back even a dime, and continued to leave his gambling capital and all the winnings, a total of 80,000 baht, on the table.
Cheng Yu still bet on player. There were more spectators and fewer bets. The dealer knew it was time to close the net.
