"Henry spent some time participating in the qualifiers a few days ago, but his performance today is average."
Hearing Qin Feng mention Henry, Chen Shihao had a wry smile on his face. If Henry hadn't behaved a bit unsatisfactorily today, how could he have come to Qin Feng at nearly midnight?
"Oh? What's going on?"
Qin Feng asked with some doubts: "With Henry's gambling skills, I dare not say that he is guaranteed to win the title of World Gambling King, but in Las Vegas, there are only a handful of people who are better than him, right?"
Qin Feng had gambled with Henry, so he naturally knew how good Henry's gambling skills were. He was a direct disciple of Ye Han, the successor of Qianmen. In Qin Feng's opinion, he should have no problem coping with this kind of game.
"It is estimated that anyone who is well-informed knows what is going to happen on Australia Island."
The bitterness on Chen Shihao's face became even more intense. He shook his head and said: "There were many masters in this qualifying round. Henry had a hard time breaking out of the siege and winning on the last day. It really affected his condition today..."
As the gambling industry that generates huge profits around the world every year, comparable to the pornography industry and the drug industry, naturally there are people trying to get into this circle all the time, and there are more and more professional gamblers derived from it.
.
The people who came to participate in the Gambling King Competition this year, in addition to some wealthy businessmen and tourists who were just joining in the fun, there were also many new faces with good gambling skills, which caused a stir in the preliminaries.
Among them was a New Zealand man named Sigmund, who actually won consecutive stud games in the qualifiers, and finally entered the main draw with an undefeated record.
Henry had a match with him and was actually defeated by him. If the cumulative record had not been used to determine whether he could participate in the main game, Henry would have been eliminated in the qualifying round.
"Oh? That man named Sigmund is so powerful? Who is this man..." After hearing Chen Shihao's words, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Gambling originated in China and was spread among thousands of people, so in Qin Feng's mind, what foreigners knew was trivial and he simply didn't like it.
Seeing the expression on Qin Feng's face, Chen Shihao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qin, don't believe it, this man didn't know how to gamble a year ago..."
"You couldn't bet a year ago. Can you beat Henry now?"
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Brother Hao, I can't hear what you say now. I interpret everything with lip reading. Did I misread your lip reading?"
If you want to learn how to gamble, you must first be able to gamble. But there are hundreds of millions of gamblers in the world, how many of them dare to say that they can gamble?
Not to mention other things, there are all kinds of gambling methods, and it would take a year and a half to figure it out.
Qin Feng also practiced hard with Zaishi for three years. After that, he received the inheritance of the eight outer sects in the jade pendant, and then he mastered the gambling skills and could be called a good gambler.
And that New Zealander named Sigmund, who didn't even know how to gamble a year ago, could beat Henry in a regular game a year later. There is only one explanation. This man is a genius, a super player even more powerful than Qin Feng.
genius!
"Brother Qin, you read that right, that person did not even enter a casino a year ago..."
Not to mention that Qin Feng didn't understand, even Chen Shihao couldn't figure out why such a weirdo appeared in this gambling king competition. Just when he was about to explain to Qin Feng, the doorbell outside reminded him.
"Brother Hao, you can talk later. I also want to hear what's going on?" Liu Zimo, who was also looking in disbelief, stood up and opened the door. He didn't forget to turn around and tell Chen Shihao.
"The steak in this hotel is very delicious..."
After giving a fifty-yuan tip to the waiter who delivered the meal, Liu Zimo walked into the room holding a plate in one hand and an ice bucket in the other. There was a bottle of red wine in the ice bucket. There was also a corkscrew and three red wine bottles next to it.
Wine glass.
"Fragrance doesn't belong to you either..."
Seeing that Liu Zimo was about to lick the rice with his mouth, Qin Feng quickly grabbed the steak rice and said angrily: "You don't do anything, you only know how to pick up girls and fight. You are still a foodie. I've been tinkering since I was a kid."
You haven't eaten anything yet..."
When Qin Feng was a child, he took his sister to wander around. He had no money at all and had to have a headache every day just to eat.
But the poor have their own solutions. In the 1980s, wild rivers were everywhere, and there was no so-called fish pond contracting.
Therefore, fish, shrimps, crabs, eels, and even frogs and loaches have become common foods on the dining table of Qin Feng and his sister. At that time, Liu Zimo often ate in Qin Feng's shabby house.
"Hey, buddy, I didn't do you any harm, did I?"
Liu Zimo shouted as if he was aggrieved: "Didn't I take all the good rice and noodles at your house? And during the Chinese New Year that year, have you forgotten that I stole a pig's hind leg from home and you ate half of it?"
Where is the moon..."
"Yes, I owe you..."
Qin Feng didn't want outsiders to mention the past, so he quickly raised his hands to express surrender. In fact, he was just teasing Liu Zimo. When it came to the friendship back then, Liu Zimo definitely helped his brother and sister the most.
Not only the rice noodles, but also the quilts used by Qin Feng and his sister at that time were all taken out by Liu Zimo from home. As for stealing the pig's hind legs, Liu Zimo received a very strong beating.
"Brother Hao, I'm sorry for interrupting..."
Qin Feng looked at Chen Shihao apologetically, stretched out his hand to open the bottle of red wine, poured some into the three glasses on the table, and said, "Tell me about the New Zealander, what is going on with this guy?
What’s your special skill?”
Because he has suffered so much since he was a child, Qin Feng has the impression that there is absolutely no shortcut to everything in this world.
Others saw that Qin Feng was proficient in all kinds of strange skills, but who knew that during the three or four years that Qin Feng was in prison, he could only sleep for two or three hours almost every day, and spent the rest of his time receiving instruction from his master.
If he hadn't been able to endure hardship since he was a child, and if the mental techniques taught by Zaishi could quickly restore Qin Feng's energy, I'm afraid Qin Feng wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago, and he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.
"Brother Qin, this guy is an anomaly. He only knows poker-related gambling, and he only gambles on three types of cards: Baccarat, Stud and Blackjack..."
Reaching out to pick up the red wine glass in front of him, Chen Shihao took a sip and continued: "This man is very shrewd in gambling, and is very determined when asking for cards. And when he discards cards, he does not hesitate. After a bet, he almost
I only lost my ante bet, but I won the most chips on the table..."
“Can this person read cards?”
Qin Feng frowned when he heard this and said to himself: "In a game like this, the dealer shouldn't be shuffling the cards with his hands, right? It's unlikely that he will see the shuffling process?"
Chen Shihao nodded and said: "You are right, this gambling king competition uses the most advanced card dealing machine, and there is no behavior that seems to be shuffling the cards..."
In the early and mid-1990s, when technology was not so advanced, shuffling cards and rolling dice in casinos were almost all done by dealers. Many gambling kings still continued this method.
This is also the reason why a good dealer will be sought after by many casinos. When Ye Han died, as long as Henry and others nodded, any casino in the world would open their doors to them.
However, in the past year or two, many casinos have begun to add some technological gambling tools in order to reduce the impact of human factors.
Just like the card dealer mentioned earlier, a card dealer can place three to five decks of playing cards with the big and small ghosts removed, and the cards are automatically shuffled and dealt. No one can shuffle the cards anymore.
Observe the poker position.
There are also machines like dice. In the past, the dice was in the hands of the dealer, and the dice were opaque. Only after the dealer finished shaking the dice did they settle before accepting bets from gamblers.
But now that the machine shaker is used, the rules have also changed.
Not only did the shaking cup become transparent, but the dice were rolled only after the gamblers had finished buying the sizes. There was no need to open the shaking cup to win or lose. After the shaking, everyone could see clearly at a glance.
These changes are all made by casinos to prevent professional gamblers.
Of course, nine out of ten gambles involve cheating. No matter how sophisticated the technology and advanced machines are, they are inseparable from human factors. Who knows that casinos cannot manipulate gambling equipment that seems to be fake?
"Then why does this person only win but never lose?" Qin Feng frowned. He couldn't even eat the fragrant steak rice in front of him.
After watching Liu Zimo secretly cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, Qin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Probability, this person should be using probability analysis. He is indeed a genius, but a genius in mathematics!"
"Huh? Qin Feng, you...you said he is a genius in mathematics?"
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Chen Shihao was stunned for a moment, put down the red wine glass in his hand, and said: "This person is indeed a mathematics teacher from New Zealand, but he doesn't seem to be very famous, and he can't be called a genius..."
Although Chen Shihao was not ranked high in countries such as Europe and the United States, he was still a dominant player. After the New Zealander named Sigmund emerged, he quickly found out the origin of this person.
Sigmund was born in a mathematics family in New Zealand. His parents were both mathematics professors at the University of London in England. When he was a child, Sigmund showed his sensitivity to numbers.
However, Sigmund did not seem to achieve the same level of achievement as his parents in mathematics. After graduating from university, he surprisingly did not choose to stay at the University of London to teach. Instead, he returned to New Zealand and became a mathematics teacher in a middle school.
Judging from his resume, Sigmund's resume is very simple and seems to have nothing to do with gambling, because just over a year ago, he was just a mathematics teacher.
Qin Feng shook his head and said slowly: "I have never accepted gambling skills. After eliminating human factors, he can only win but not lose. That must be a judgment based on probability analysis. Brother Hao,
It can’t be wrong.”
Qin Feng knew that among all the gambling techniques, the weakest was gambling on poker, because although poker originated in the Southern Song Dynasty in China, it was called playing cards.
But the playing cards at that time were not perfect, with only ten or twenty cards. The real rise and acceptance of poker only began after it was spread to Europe.
In 1932, France developed poker into fifty-four cards and formulated relevant playing methods. However, in modern times, playing cards became an imported product and entered China.
Therefore, poker is far more popular abroad than in China in the early years. In view of this, Zai has also spent a lot of effort to improve the related gameplay of poker.
Zaishi told Qin Feng back then that poker is a game of probability. A real genius does not need to remember the cards at all and can roughly analyze the cards based on probability. This is also the basis for Qin Feng to deduce the identity of that person. .(To be continued.
