Back then, Mr. Liu taught me the art, and I learned both soft and hard cards and dice, but I never learned about fish, shrimp, and crab.
After all, this gambling method is rare and is a folk game in southern coastal cities.
Although Haojiang once had a special fish, shrimp and crab gambling table, most places have replaced this table because there were too few people playing.
Fish, Shrimp and Crab Sic Bo is almost the same as regular Sic Bo.
The only difference is that Sic Bo has dots on it, while Fish, Shrimp and Crab have symbols on it.
Among them, the pattern fish corresponds to one point, the shrimp represents two points, the gourd represents three points, the money represents four points, the crab represents five points, and the chicken represents six points.
Depending on the region, the patterns on it are also somewhat different. For example, in the Lufeng area, there are also patterns of ligers and tigers.
Different patterns will also lead to different techniques used when rolling the dice.
I originally wanted to withdraw, but then I thought I would be exposed to this kind of gameplay.
The techniques of Sic Bo are similar. I would like to combine the previous techniques and study the techniques of using fish, shrimp and crab.
The field is not big, and the owner is responsible for pumping water, placing numbers, protecting the game, and catching thousands.
When the three of them entered the door, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of two Sic Bo tables.
One of the tables is relatively small, with bets ranging from tens to hundreds.
The gameplay is not formal either. It is a simple tablecloth with a leopard in addition to its size.
On the left and right sides, there are four big characters on each side:
"Being selfless, rolling the dice does not count."
The people placing bets here are all older villagers.
The other table next to it is much more formal.
In addition to size, you can also bet on points, colors, three armies, dice, etc.
The boss is a fat, bald man in his thirties, with a black leather bag hanging around his neck.
The leather bag was sitting on his belly, swinging up and down with every step he took.
He was accompanied by several younger brothers who specialized in counting.
He knew Brother Zhu, and when he saw Brother Zhu, he came over and said hello with a smile:
"Brother Zhu, long time no see. I heard that I made a fortune recently with my little sister, and I didn't even mention taking care of my brother..."
Brother Zhu exchanged greetings with him, then pointed at me and introduced:
"This is my brother from Guandong. He likes to gamble when he has nothing to do. I will show you here!"
When he heard that he was a gambler, the bald man immediately laughed, patted the leather bag in front of his stomach, and said:
"My brother, you can play whatever you want. If you don't bring enough money, just tell your brother and he will definitely give you the lowest interest rate..."
As he spoke, he deliberately opened his purse and showed it off to me.
I saw stacks of hundred-dollar bills inside, which looked like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Thank you boss, but this is my first time playing this kind of Sic Bo. Can you lend me some dice? I'll study the patterns on them first. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll make a joke later..."
The bald man laughed and asked the boy next to him to get me three dice.
Holding the dice, I flicked them back and forth in my hands. At the same time, I walked back and forth in front of the two gaming tables to watch the excitement.
Although fish, shrimp and crab are different from ordinary point dice, the principles are actually the same. Nothing more than strength, sound, and speed.
After playing around with it for a while, I had a rough idea.
Although it is still not as accurate as controlling the point dice, I can definitely play well.
I exchanged chips for 20,000, then squeezed into the small betting table and placed a 500 chip on the big bet.
As soon as I saw it, someone next to me made room for me.
Because, my 500 chips is the biggest bet at this table.
This is also an unwritten rule here. Those who place the largest bet must sit at the table.
I want to test here to see if the technique of listening to dice can be used on fish, shrimps and crabs.
As soon as I sat down, someone came over to me and said to me flatteringly:
"Boss, among the six subordinates in front of you, there will definitely be smaller ones. You shouldn't bet on bigger ones..."
When I turned around, I saw a well-dressed young man with a pale face and messy hair, smiling flatteringly at me.
There are many people like this out there.
Even if I don't have money to gamble, I am still willing to hang out in the casino, make some money, and live my life.
"Then it's up to you and I'll give in..."
I transferred the five hundred chips to the small table.
In fact, it’s the same to me no matter what I do.
I mainly want to listen to the sound of rolling the dice and find out the difference between the dice falling of fish, shrimp and crab.
The dealer took two bowls and started shaking them from side to side.
The moment he put down the bowl, a chorus of shouts came from around me:
"Little, little, little!"
The young man next to me shouted the loudest.
And I tilted my ears and carefully distinguished the sound when the dice just fell.
I secretly thought to myself that it should be fish, shrimp, and chicken.
Nine o'clock, small.
The dealer opened the dice cup, and the moment I saw it, I felt happy.
Sure enough, I heard all three dices correctly.
I went to draw water, and the dealer gave me back 475 chips.
I took out the seventy-five, handed it to the young man next to me, and said:
"Thankfully I listened to you, Xi Qian!"
To my surprise, the young man pushed my hand away and said:
"Boss, I have money. Someone will bring it to me in a moment. I don't play small bets on this table, I play on the table next to me..."
The minimum bet at that table was 500, and there was no upper or lower bet.
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from the direction of the door:
"Sheng Zai!"
When I turned around, I saw a woman in her early twenties standing at the door.
She was holding a two or three-year-old child in her arms, looking at the gambling game in the room with fear.
Shengzi immediately ran over and said directly:
"Where's the money? Have you brought it?"
Seeing this woman's face full of despair, she discussed with him and said:
"The family only has four thousand yuan left. This is the money to prepare for mother's hospitalization. Shengzi, please stop gambling..."
Shengzi, who had been polite and polite in front of me just now, seemed to be a different person now.
He roared loudly at the woman:
"Don't be nagging. If you had sent it earlier, I would have copied it by now. Bring it here!"
I can feel that this woman is a little afraid of Shengzi.
With tears in his eyes, he took out all the money in his pocket.
While handing it to Shengzi, he was still pleading:
"Sheng Zai, please stop gambling, okay?"
Without thinking, Shengzi grabbed the money, turned around and went to the gaming table next to him.
When the bald man saw this scene, he walked up to Shengzi with a smile and said:
"A Sheng, when will you pay back the money you owe me?"
Shengzi lost his arrogance and discussed:
"Give me two more days and I'll give you the money right away!"
The bald man looked at Shengzi's wife not far away with a wretched smirk, patted his shoulder and said:
"My sister-in-law is nice. If I don't pay it back when it's due, can I ask my sister-in-law to ask for it?"
This was a great humiliation for a man, but Shengzi didn't seem to hear it.
Without changing the chips, I took a look at the number sheet and bet 4,000 yuan directly on "big".
