I originally thought that this man with glasses and Xiaona would also be in trouble.
But to my surprise, they didn't make a fortune.
Moreover, his two bankers lost more than 400,000 yuan.
And I won more than 300,000 yuan by myself.
Mr. Hong also won tens of thousands.
I'm a little surprised. They are obviously in the same group as Zhou Lin, but they are less than a thousand people.
So what role do they play in this card game?
It was Uncle San's turn to be the dealer. He shuffled the cards and chatted with me:
“Boss Chu, if your family is in the coal business, it’s very easy to make money, isn’t it?”
Although I don't know why the third uncle asked this.
But I can guess that he must have set a trap for me.
I pretended to be casual and answered:
"Hey, it's not that easy. It's all hard-earned money!"
Third uncle shuffled the cards and asked again:
"Then when you usually play cards in Habei, are your games bigger than ours?"
Third Uncle's question sounds like an ordinary conversation.
"Both the big and small situations apply, not necessarily!"
"How about we make a bet?"
Thirty asked me tentatively.
As I listened, I couldn't help but smile.
He chatted for a long time, and it turned out that he was watching me double my losses and win some.
He was anxious to win me over as quickly as possible, so he set the bottom hook for me little by little.
I pretended to hesitate and looked at the pile of money next to me and said:
"Forget it, that's it. If you want to raise your bet, we'll wait until the end of the game!"
I deliberately refused.
Then, he glanced at Mr. Hong casually.
Mr. Hong is smoking, listen to what I say.
He immediately frowned, put on a carefree look, and said to me:
"If you win or lose a game at home, you'll get two to three million. Why don't you dare to play in Tianjin? You're not afraid that Boss Zhou's friend is a crook, are you?"
The people who spoke looked a little embarrassed when Mr. Hong said it.
I chuckled and shook my head.
Mr. Hong immediately added:
"Increase the bet, work harder, and break up early! It's boring to grind!"
I still didn't speak.
Zhou Lin squinted his eyes, looked at me and said:
"How about going up or down?"
"Okay, you have the final say, I will listen to everyone!"
"Then the minimum is ten thousand and the maximum is one hundred thousand!"
Zhou Lin said immediately.
I sneered in my heart.
There was less than three million in cash on the entire table.
How dare he raise the stakes to such a high level.
It seemed that he firmly believed that I had taken the bait.
And I also think that he took the bait.
Then who bites the hook depends on who can catch whom in the end.
In this round, I directly bet 100,000.
The third uncle started to deal the cards, I took the cards without looking at them.
Just put it on the table casually.
Then, I started to light a cigarette.
After Xiaona looked at her own cards, she tilted her head and looked at the glasses man's cards.
While watching, she muttered:
"I really can't stay up late now. It's only around 12 o'clock. I feel very sleepy..."
As soon as Xiaona's words came out, my heart suddenly moved.
I finally understood the role of her and the man with glasses.
It turned out that she was actually reporting cards through chatting.
Some people may think, what is the use of her reporting cards like this?
Reporting cards is indeed useless and cannot improve their winning rate.
But in this way, there will be no collision of cards.
In other words, if the third uncle and Zhou Lin exchange cards.
We must ensure that the cards in the hands of people at the table and the dealer's cards cannot have three of the same cards at the same time.
That way, their trick of changing cards will be exposed.
Although, they have no way of knowing my and Master Hong’s cards.
But after knowing the cards of four people, there were still two cards played.
The probability of card collision will be reduced to a minimum.
After hearing what Xiaona said, the third uncle began to slowly wonder about the cards on the table.
After a while, he threw the cards on the table.
Pretending to be excited, he said:
"A good start, double pickled at 8 o'clock, a blast!"
The dealer explodes, and the player has no chance to draw cards.
Xiaona and the man with glasses both pretended to be annoyed.
He muttered and showed his cards.
When it was my turn, I still didn't look at the cards.
Instead, he turned around, picked up the mineral water on the coffee table behind him, and pretended to drink water.
At the same time, he said to Zhou Lin:
"I'll drink some water, Boss Zhou, please help me play the cards!"
As I said that, I started to unscrew the bottle cap.
Zhou Lin and I were next to each other and listened to what I had to say.
He stretched out his hand and revealed my two cards.
This light made several people's eyes immediately straighten.
Especially Zhou Lin, he was a little angry.
But he couldn't show it, he suppressed it and his face turned red, and he sat there stupidly.
And I put the water that I had just opened aside and pretended to be excited and said:
"I thought I would definitely lose this card. I didn't expect that I still had a nine-point flush..."
My two cards are a King of Spades and a Nine of Spades.
Zhou Lin and others were all surprised and silent.
He had eight points for a pair, and I had nine points for a flush.
According to the rules of this game, the round trip is quadrupled.
The 100,000 I bet turned into 400,000 in the blink of an eye.
Although the third uncle was helpless, he still started to count the money.
The total money in his hands is only more than 380,000.
After looking at Zhou Lin, he said with some reluctance:
"Boss Zhou, please lend me some money first, and I will compensate the first boss!"
Zhou Lin hesitated for a moment and looked very unhappy.
You know, all the money for these four people was paid by him.
But in this move, the third uncle lost 400,000 yuan.
Plus the hundreds of thousands I won before.
Now they have lost half of the more than one million in cash they prepared.
Seeing Zhou Lin's hesitation, I immediately said:
"Forget it, Third Uncle. Just compensate me as much as you have. The more than 10,000 yuan will be treated as a supper for you. I think everyone doesn't have much cash prepared today. Let's play tomorrow..."
As soon as I finished speaking, Zhou Lin immediately said:
"No, it's okay. Third uncle, please pay for it and see how much is left. I'll make up for it. Let's continue..."
I sneered in my heart.
This Zhou Lin, he was afraid that I would lose my hook and stop playing.
Then today, he will be defeated miserably.
In fact, this is the mind of a typical gambler.
What he is afraid of is not the immediate loss, but the fear that the bet will fall apart.
Because in the minds of gamblers, they always believe that gambling does not count as losing.
As long as there is a gambling game, he has a chance to make money.
Therefore, there are many gamblers even after they have gone bankrupt.
Still trying his best to deceive anyone he knows.
Even if they only knew each other for three to five days, they would make up excuses and ask to borrow money.
Little did they know that gambling existed.
It just gave him a mirage.
What I thought was a glimmer of hope turned out to be an abyss of hell.
