"Wow! Win again! Are you cheating!"

After Lin Zhaoxi turned over the hole cards, the students in Class 1 shouted collectively.

The boys in front of her have changed from Zhang Liang to the other five. Two of the top four gave up in the last round, and two of them exploded, leaving only the last one. But when she turned out her hole cards, the perfect blackjack made the boys very upset. Willing to hand over the last two caps and back out.

Lin Zhaoxi happily accepted 10 bottle caps: "I don't cheat, I just count cards, you can also count, there is another way to count cards..."

"Because you are the banker?" Some students questioned, "Only you know the hidden cards, so you have a natural advantage?"

"Old Ma, you are stupid. The dealer must draw 17 before he is eligible to stop. This makes up for the unfairness that only she knows the hidden cards."

"I know, that's what I said! You're an idiot!"

"But casinos play this way, so the banker still has an advantage?"

"You say that the advantage is the advantage. Can you figure out how much it is?"

"How can I figure it out!"

The boys started to fight, and the classroom became even more noisy, a bit similar to the atmosphere of a casino.

But the casino is full of red-eyed gamblers, and in the class, everyone's focus is more and more like "card counting", "fairness", and "probability".

"Then do you want to try to be a banker?" Seeing the boys fighting for a long time, Lin Zhaoxi interrupted them and asked with a smile.

The lively discussions in Class 1 of the third grade began to spread throughout the teaching building.

The students from Class 2 were the first to watch. At that time, Lin Zhaoxi had eliminated 12 students from Class 1.

Of course, there is a lot of luck involved, and it is mainly because she has been playing and has accumulated a lot more chips than other students.

Class 2 students poked their heads at the door: "What are you doing? You've been arguing all afternoon."

"None of your business!" The students of class 1 blocked the students of class 2 from the door.

"If you lose, you lose, give the bottle cap to the bottle cap." The two tables near the podium in class 1 burst into cheers, "I said this is the way to do it, keep calm, and chase if you can't see the advantage!"

"Gambling cards?" asked the sharp-eyed class 2 student.

"Go away, go away!" Class 1 students shouted.

In the third grade of junior high school, the teacher's office.

The head teacher of class 3 in the third grade of junior high school just came back from class with a book.

"Hey~"

There was another burst of frustrated sighs from the students after losing the cards in the teaching building.

The head teacher of Class 3 passed Teacher Ma's seat, looked at Teacher Ma's face as stiff as a steel plate, held back a smile and said, "Mr. Ma, look at these children who are obsessed with playing cards. Their voice is so loud, and it still affects our class. Wait a minute." I’m sure I’m not in the mood for the next class.”

As soon as Ma Pingping heard this, she immediately shouted to the leader: "Mr. Zhang, you can see that the teachers in other classes have responded like this. They are too affecting the teaching discipline!"

"Otherwise, let's join Class 3 too?" The head teacher of Class 3 interrupted him with a smile, "What interesting children, I am the teacher, I will definitely give them places to participate."

The head teacher of class 5 took over the conversation: "Yes, Mr. Ma! Your class monitor just came to report work, didn't you say that Lin Zhaoxi has already won a dozen or so, or let us also go to help you in class 5, there are so many people Powerful?"

The head teachers of other classes were all helping, and Ma Pingping suddenly realized that how many people had she offended by prohibiting ordinary classes from participating in the math league selection

But you didn't say it before, but now you all come out to oppose it, what can I do

Ma Pingping thought bitterly.

"The dealer is now x, 7, 5 and you count it. The sum of your three cards 4/6/3 is only 13. You count the probability of your burst point being very low. Why don't you just leave it?"

"This is a trap. It can't be counted like this. Although it is not easy for me to explode, the dealer can easily explode. I don't want to wait for the dealer to explode now!"

Hearing this conversation, Lin Zhaoxi was very sad and indignant, which also led to an internal strategy discussion.

The slogan "beat class 1" was proposed by her, and the original intention was to target Ma Pingping rather than a class of students. But the students in class 1 didn't think so, they thought she was arrogant and wanted to work together to kill her.

In the beginning, the students always wanted to win, so as long as the cards looked small, they would continue to bet. Even Zhang Liang was very greedy, so she won very well.

But there are still many smart kids in class 1. They got together and made a table, listing the conditional probabilities of winning and losing results corresponding to different cards, and recited them silently. Not only that, they even started to discuss the basic winning strategies.

So much so that Lin Zhaoxi is a little passive now.

But for blackjack, this is not enough, because the cards change all the time. For more precise calculations, also consider real-time probabilities of possible remaining numbers, calculate when you should double up, etc...

And she was really abused by Lao Lin for a long time. Although she was obsessed with the second version, she still liked this cool gambling game very much, so she almost developed a natural reaction ability.

therefore…

"Wow, she's so shameless!"

"Did you just write down the shuffling of the cards?"

Another banker was completely defeated, and this was the 12th player. Lin Zhaoxi was forced to sit on the banker's seat again with a large handful of bottle caps.

The 13th person replaced was Hanamaki.

Hanamaki pushed out 10 bottle caps directly, proudly: "I like to hurry up."

"I will always remember your friendship with me." Lin Zhaoxi happily dealt out the cards.

but…

The first ace, the second 10, Hanamaki got the black jack directly, Lin Zhaoxi didn't even look at the hidden cards, and lost 10 caps together with others.

In the second round, when she had a great chance of winning, she lost.

In the third round, there were already three aces on the board, and Hanamaki could only avoid bursting points if she got the last ace. She got the last ace, and she... lost all.

"A monster?" Lin Zhaoxi looked at Hanamaki in disbelief.

Hanamaki raised her legs proudly: "I really, have been lucky since I was a child."

All the students in the class are still in a daze. They always feel that the game is obviously won by ability, but it turns into luck in the end? But this is completely an illusion brought to them by Lin Zhaoxi...

"Is this the end?"

"We won class 13?"

The students in Class 1 asked incredulously.

Without them, Lin Zhaoxi reluctantly stood up from her seat. At the end of the classroom, the boy who had been sleeping on his stomach raised his head and stood up.

With the sound of footsteps, Hanamaki turned her head, saw the boy coming, turned her head and shouted at her: "Don't go, I gave you all the chips I won just now, I don't want to play with him!"

"It's late." Lin Zhaoxi smiled and shook the card, leaving directly.

The news of the "21 o'clock Challenge" in Class 1 of the third grade continued to spread from Class 2. After the lunch break, it spread to the entire third grade with lightning speed.

"Class 13 is poisonous! Two people actually go to class 1 to play blackjack?"

"But it is said that Class 1 failed miserably."

"Can they work in Zhongming's class?"

The students were chatting, and taking advantage of the opportunity between classes, the brave children rushed to the door of Class 1 to watch.

For a while, there was a lot of people at the door of the classroom in Class 1. Children who have friends in Class 1 can go in and see, and those who don’t know anyone can open the window at the door.

They tiptoed and looked at the large table of people sitting in front of the podium.

Another round ended, and the players in class 1 were frustrated to confirm the points, while the boys in class 13 sitting on the dealer seat began to collect the bottle caps. The bottle cap in front of him was already as high as a hill, and with the addition of this round of harvest, the bottle cap mountain was crumbling.

"Is this a win?"

"Are you really not a descendant of the God of Gamblers?"

"Is Class 1 too good?"

Students from other classes watching the battle at the door couldn't help whispering.

But only the students in Class 1 who participated in the game knew how terrifying the boy at the poker table was.

He remained calm from beginning to end, but whether he followed or not, betting or doubling, he could always get stuck at the most appropriate time. Of course he would also lose. Sometimes he only drew two cards. Surrendered and admitted defeat, but it turns out that his renunciation was correct.

Hanamaki slapped the table: "Damn, I haven't seen you for so many years, is this how you treat your old friend?"

"Did I treat you well before?" the boy asked back.

Hanamaki was choked for a long time, thinking about it, it seems to be really...

"Old Lu, come here!" He handed his last bottle cap to Lu Zhihao, "Let's see how cruel this guy can be!"

"Teacher Ma, they are still playing." In the big office of the third grade, Chen Chu came to report again: "Class is about to start, many students want to read books, and there is no quiet learning environment."

Ma Pingping held back for a while, but heard the head teacher of Class 3 interject: "Chen Chu, is your class winning or losing?"

Chen Chu's face also froze.

"It's a terrible loss." It happened that the representative of Class 2 was writing his homework silently at noon and answered for Chen Chu.

"It's very likely that they cheated." Chen Chu said, "Our class is all freshmen. Two people in their class seem to have been in the society and are very familiar with the game of cards, so many students lost..."

"Ah, not enough time for study?" The preparatory bell rang, the class teacher of class 3 and the history teacher of class 1 laughed when he heard this, "I want your class to watch the documentary in the next history lesson, how about I give them more time study?"

"Teacher Wang!" Ma Pingping shouted.

"How many are left?" When the preparatory bell rang, the game ended again, and the boy looked up and asked.

Beside him, the girl who kept writing down her name in a small notebook replied, "There are 26 more."

"Pei Zhi, you are too arrogant!" Lu Zhihao, who had lost his underwear, plucked up his courage and slapped the table.

"It's okay." Pei Zhi put away the poker and continued to shuffle the cards, "Actually, you can use a few more decks. If there are more than 6 decks, the difficulty of calculation will increase, and the difficulty of memorizing cards will also increase. But in fact, blackjack , it's still a relatively fair game, the main thing is to calm down..."

"Are you saying that we have a bad mentality?" Lu Zhihao was shocked, "Who will have a good mentality when playing cards with you?"

"That's right." Pei Zhi pressed the cut poker and asked, "Then the next class will continue?"

After all, there was a high school entrance examination, so Mr. Wang still took a good history class in Class 1 after all.

At that time, Ma Pingping was studying mathematics in class 2.

The moment the get out of class bell rang, she heard the sound of tables and chairs being dragged in her class.

"They're coming soon, calculators at the ready."

"Da Liu is going to buy cards!"

Hanamaki's methodical command sounded immediately.

Ma Pingping wished she could go through the wall and teach others.

But before it was too late, a running figure flashed past the window and rushed downstairs.

Soon, a large group of people walked past the window. ,

Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi were at the front, and behind them, a large group of children followed to see the excitement.

The students in class 2 saw the boys and girls outside the window and started whispering.

"Is it them? Are they very powerful?"

"Very powerful, the old loser in Class 1."

Ma Pingping: "Did I say get out of class is over?"

The brave children in Class 2 raised their hands: "Teacher, is there a trick to blackjack?"

Ma Pingping: "Focus on studying, do you want to take the blackjack exam in the senior high school entrance examination?"

"But... your class... Teacher, why don't you teach your class, half of the people lost, it's so miserable."

Ma Pingping was so angry that she could only arrange two more papers for homework.

She walked out of the classroom and heard the frustration of their class after the failure.

"There are 24 left, brothers hold on!"

Hanamaki was encouraging other students again.

Ma Pingping took two steps and came to the door of their class.

The class is like a vegetable market, where calculators are crackling, ideas are being thrown out there, and various voices come and go.

The head teacher of class 3 who hadn't left after class stood at the door, saw her, walked out of the classroom with a smile, and said hello to her.

"Half of the people have been eliminated." The head teacher of class 3 said, "this little boy in class 13 is really good, and his brain is really good. Teacher Ma will give him a chance."

Ma Pingping didn't answer.

"Hey~"

At this moment, it was the girls in their class who handed over all their chips and lost.

"twenty three!"

Children in other classes are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and report the number.

"Teacher Ma, think about it, even if you give them a chance, if they don't have the ability, they still won't pass the exam." Class 3 teacher said with a smile.

Seeing this situation, Ma Pingping pondered for a moment, then raised her head as if making up her mind.
