When it comes to things like gambling, it always seems mysterious to outsiders. Especially in that kind of movie, through special effects, sound and light effects, and a little tricky shooting method, it is easy for people to have a "magic" illusion about this kind of thing.
And the real gambling technique, to put it bluntly, is very simple.
There is no card-flying stunt like in gambling movies, and there is no extremely fancy way of shuffling the cards (even if there is, shuffling is the job of the dealer.)
Frankly speaking, I have gambled with people a few times before, whether it is playing cards with Li Wenjing and Minister Jin in China, or other things, I just rely on the strong luck given to me by the ring to win the other party. When it comes to card skills, it's really average.
However, since Yang Wei gave me the Fengyan ring as a gift, coupled with the increasingly close relationship with Yang Wei, I am very interested in Yang Wei's family's prosperity through the casino business. I will chat with some brothers in the big circle who know a lot about gambling and ask about these things.
The underworld and the underworld, the most traditional underworld businesses controlled by their subordinates, are naturally pornography, gambling and drugs. The big circle is a gangster, and of course there are some peripheral elements who rely on gambling for a living.
Especially before I came to Las Vegas this time, I also specially found someone to make up for some basic concepts of gambling.
Generally speaking, gambling skills can be divided into two types, real gambling and fake gambling.
The kind of special function in the movie that changes cards, or uses superb techniques to change cards, cheating... That is not called gambling, but "thousand skills". Real gambling masters are also proficient in thousands of skills. You must know what you have to know when you are raped. But cheating, after all, is something that real masters disdain.
And the real gambling skills, to put it bluntly, are very simple, there are only two points: first, a strong memory. The second is the powerful probability calculation ability!
In the words of experts, it is called "eye poison" and "heart quickness". If you can achieve these two points and combine them perfectly, you will be an excellent gambling master!
Eye poison, of course, refers to memory.
Powerful gambling masters can remember cards! Because before the start of each game, the croupier has to shuffle the cards. The croupiers in professional casinos have fixed routines and patterns for shuffling the cards. First shuffle the cards, and then let the gamblers check the cards. This process of checking the cards is especially important. up! Everyone has seen how the croupier in the casino checks the cards in the movie: with a random sweep, a deck of poker cards is placed on the table, forming a half-moon shape, and spread out neatly! Then take out a card, turn it over at the bottom, go back and forth again, and let everyone see the front and back of the whole deck of cards...
This process is very short, even less than ten seconds! But it also allows you to have two or three chances to look at the entire deck of cards within the ten seconds!
A powerful gambler, with sharp eyesight and strong memory, can memorize most of the cards in the whole deck of cards with just two or three eyes!
The most powerful masters can memorize all the cards in this short period of time!
In this way, when the cards are dealt, all the cards are in his heart, and he knows exactly what cards the opponent has dealt!
However, only the God of Gamblers and the King of Gamblers can do this. In the movie, any master can memorize all the cards at a glance. If one card is not bad, it is fake. In reality, most masters can memorize 70 to 80% of a deck of cards, which is enough for him to be proud of the world.
Just imagine, in a few seconds, you can remember most of a shuffled deck of cards in a hurry, what a powerful memory it is!
Of course, those who can achieve the "eye poison" can only be said to have half the effort of a gambling master.
The other half is to rely on "fast heart"!
Almost all gambling masters are super fast and silent calculation strongmen! This kind of people are either born or cultivated. In short, they are very sensitive to numbers. They can, in a short period of time, according to the order of all the cards they remember, and then arrange the cards they get. How many cards can be formed, the size of the cards, and the cards obtained by the opponent, the winning odds of each game... the probability.
The so-called "quick heart" is to quickly calculate the probability! A deck of more than fifty cards, no matter how ever-changing, is nothing more than different combinations of these cards. In this case, a master can calculate all the cards that may be dealt to himself and the opponent, the probability of various combinations, the size Probability, the probability of winning or losing!
And pay attention to, is a word: fast!
If a person can master both of these two points, and at the same time cooperate with the proficiency in the rules of the game, he can be regarded as a master of gambling.
Of course, there are other techniques at a deeper level, that is, some performance skills. When the cards are small, but pretending to be an indomitable momentum, this is called stealing chickens... These are the inner psychological qualities. There is also the observation of the opponent, the opponent's eyes, expression, and even every subtle body movement, in the eyes of gambling masters, can be used to judge the opponent's confidence and judge the opponent's actual card size...
There are many masters of gambling, but they are also masters of psychological warfare. Of course, in gambling, there are different schools. Some people focus on technology, some people focus on psychological attacks on opponents, and some people are good at acting to deceive opponents...
But at this moment, the Mr. Wu Dalang facing me is obviously a skilled player.
I have to say that I was really surprised by his "poisonous eyes" and "quick heart"! !
In the first round, we were all testing. After the croupier shuffled the cards and asked us to check the cards, I found that both the white man on the opposite side and Mr. Wu Dalang restrained their redundant expressions and glanced concentratedly. At this moment, they are undoubtedly very serious.
As for me, I seem to be more of a layman... To be honest, I don't have the ability to memorize cards with a glance.
But my behavior, in the eyes of the other party, is much more reassuring. Although the person on the other side didn't speak, they couldn't help showing expressions like "this guy is an amateur" on their faces.
In the next game, it was obvious that the other party took the initiative, because both of them memorized all the cards. And the two carefully calculated the probability, follow or not.
Because, even if you remember the order of all the cards, you still have to find a way to deal the biggest cards to your hands.
what to do
Simple, it is to use the rules of the game to let the cards you want be dealt to your hands smoothly!
The simplest explanation: For example, by counting the cards, you know that the next card to be dealt is the biggest A, and you really want this A, but according to the order, the one who gets the deal first, Is your right home. In other words, according to the rules, that A will be sent to your opponent.
At this time, what should you do if you want to get that A
Steal? What a joke, that's cheating! In a real international casino, there are too few opportunities for you to pay out thousands, and almost all the loopholes that people can think of have been gambled! The possibility of getting out of thousands is very small.
Then you can only use your skills to interfere with the order of dealing cards! In other words, use the rules reasonably.
Obviously that ace should be sent to your opponent. At this time, you can deliberately raise the bet, raise the bet, and then deliberately show your full confidence to intimidate the opponent and blow the opponent's confidence! At times like this, you purposely appear to be aggressive, making the opponent think you have a good hand... and if he doesn't, he might fold, fold, and not call.
If the opponent doesn't follow, then the next card, that is, the ace that originally belonged to the opponent, will be dealt to you.
This is just the simplest and most basic of countless techniques.
In general, a master of gambling is to memorize the cards, calculate the probability, and then make full use of the rules!
This Wu Dalang is obviously a good player!
In the first game, I didn't count the cards, but he didn't despise me at all. Instead, he carefully observed whether I followed or not... Because there are three people in the game, whether I follow or not will affect the order of the subsequent cards!
And I, out of a tentative psychology, when I got the third card, I thought I had little chance of winning, so I gave up and said I would not follow. Although I lost 100,000 yuan this time, I didn't care. I watched the match between the Japanese and the white man carefully.
When I quit, both of them immediately silently calculated the order of the cards to be dealt later. In the last game, the Japanese won 1.5 million.
After that, I gave up halfway through five consecutive hands. I always waited until the third card and said "not to follow".
This several times in a row made the Japanese a little annoyed, he glanced at me: "Apart from not following, would you say anything else?"
I smiled and didn't argue with him.
When it was the seventh inning, the white man couldn't sit still.
In the previous few rounds, he was still able to share the same score with the Japanese, that's because he also remembered the previous cards very clearly. But in the back...
This is the judgment call!
Obviously, the Japanese have an advantage in remembering cards! Because from the seventh game on, the white man couldn't remember the cards behind... In terms of memory, the Japanese won!
Under such circumstances, it is tantamount to a bright-eyed person beating a blind person! Is there any reason for the Japanese not to win
