"That mathematician..."
Ye Shuang led the young man to a card table, casually raised his chin and pointed at a middle-aged man wearing glasses not far away: "Including draws and losses, his comprehensive statistical winning rate these days is 59. %... Do you think this probability is low? But he is already one of the most famous 'gods of gambling' in this casino in recent times. He is an overseas Chinese. I think he should be a university professor in related majors abroad. He has extraordinary memory and mental arithmetic. Ability, the skill to win is to calculate the cards and the winning or losing rate between yourself and your opponent.”
"It's incredible?! In 1994, a second-year Chinese male student at MIT was invited to join a card counting research group. This group used their high IQ to win millions of dollars in Las Vegas. What do you think today? If you have the opportunity to go to Las Vegas and see their casino blacklist, you can probably see the names of these mathematical geniuses. Now the Chinese has used this money as principal to open a sports budget company, still using mathematics To predict the results of sports competitions..."
Ye Shuang looked at the young man's expression of disbelief and dementia, and smiled, shook the wine and asked: "Now the question is, how high is your education? What is your college mathematics score? Are you proficient in probability and statistics? What? Don’t you still want to win money through gambling?”
"..." Damn it! Academic bullies are so annoying!
The young man looked at Ye Shuang with tears in his eyes, his pitiful look was as lovable as a puppy.
Ye Shuang took a sip of the mellow wine and continued walking forward with the young man. After two card tables, he pointed at another silver-haired foreigner casually: "The mathematician's failure rate just now was at least 1%. The data was contributed to this psychologist, who is a profiler for a special department in a certain country. As for the specifics, you don’t need to know... Although this foreigner can’t calculate probabilities, almost everyone’s emotions will be invisible in his eyes. He can tell at a glance whether the cards you are holding are good cards, whether you are sure of winning or bluffing when you add chips... In addition to making money in the casino, this person has more fun in testing his own eyesight. The winning rate is 6%, do you know who the only person he doesn’t dare to bet on is?”
The young man almost fell to his knees. He originally thought that gambling was a simple and exciting thing, but after hearing these words, he realized how ignorant he was.
Is it really appropriate for so many unfaithful people to come here to bully these newbies? !
Thinking about the other party's awesome skills, the young man couldn't help but feel relaxed and longing: "Brother Ye, is he the physicist you mentioned before? Or is he that liar?"
"Physicists don't need to bet with them. Physicists play roulette and slot machines. Liars and psychologists have similar skills, but they just add a little acting skills..." Ye Shuang shook his head: "Can't guess? Then I Let me tell you, the only thing that psychologist didn't dare to bet on was a woman..." After saying that, he looked around for a while, found a beautiful woman and pointed at it: "That's her."
The young man was in awe: "Who is this master?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beautiful woman's chest pressed against an old man's arm, making her look coquettishly angry.
The young man was silent for a moment: "..." He didn't look like a master at all...
Ye Shuang couldn't help but chuckled: "This woman has had multiple plastic surgeries all over her body. She has had her mandible cut, her nose padded, her cheek fat pads removed, her eyelids cut, and she also had Botox to slim down her face... because she had too many plastic surgeries. , her facial expression muscles have become stiff, so the psychologist cannot see her true emotions at all."
Playing cards with this kind of plastic surgery face is like being forced to downgrade the game. No matter how advanced his methods and professional skills are, he can still only compete with others based on pure luck, so the mathematician is fine, but if the face reader encounters such a person, Those who do this will have no choice but to return home in vain.
The young man remained silent again: "..."
"Places with a prosperous economy will attract a large number of gamblers." Ye Shuang didn't want to immediately participate in playing cards or find someone to communicate with. Since she met this young man for the second time, she might as well enlighten this lost lamb first.
Taking the person to an empty couch and sitting down, Ye Shuang motioned the young man to sit next to him and then said: "Nearly ten years ago, a development expert from a city in the west wrote a letter proposing the establishment of a legal gambling city to promote economic development... Of course, the proposal was not passed in the end, but it can be seen from this that the public’s acceptance of gambling is actually very high, and their enthusiasm for participation is also very high.”
"I admit that there are indeed gamblers who get rich overnight, but do you know how many people it takes for such a successful person to appear? If you look at all gamblers statistically, the chance of making a fortune from gambling is already low. It's negligible, but the chance of bankruptcy is very high, almost 40% or more." Ye Shuang looked at the young man seriously and reached out to pat the top of his soft hair: "Just like there are jackpot winners in Mark Six Lottery, But it takes hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people to come out with such a successful person, which is enough to prove that this is a wrong route... This kind of example does not represent inspiration, but deception."
The young man was a little frustrated: "But you obviously won a lot that day..."
"That's because someone is cheating behind you, and I deliberately misled that person to make him misread my cards." And more importantly, she is better at reading faces than the psychologist.
Ye Shuang smiled and took a sip from the wine glass to reveal the answer to the mystery. At the same time, he admired the young man's wide-eyed expression of surprise: "What a surprise?! I told you before that gambling is not a matter of luck alone."
Ye Shuang did not leave immediately during the remaining time, but took the time to recruit the waiter and ordered some snacks and other things. When he was about to take out the chips to pay the bill, the young man next to him who had been frowning and thinking quickly paid first. .
Ye Shuang didn't care. After all, the other party actually didn't lose. If he hadn't said what he said today, this kid might have been robbed of a lot of money in the casino...
But this is not the case in the eyes of others. There is probably a subconscious concept of "who pays the bill and who takes the dominant position." When the young man's friend came over, he happened to see the other party paying the bill for Ye Shuang, so he took Ye Shuang as a matter of course. Sugar daddy starlet.
"I noticed it when I was outside just now. Is this the Mr. Ye who guest-starred in Luo Tianwang's new movie?!"
The young man I met outside the casino before came over with a smile. He seemed to have just finished gambling a few times. After briefly greeting Ye Shuang, he ignored her and ignored her. He turned around and sat down with the young man with a familiar look. Side: "You Yang, your family is going to invest in a movie recently?! Why don't you go out and play a few games today instead of just sitting here?!"
It turns out that the little boy’s family is a local fruit tycoon? !
Ye Shuang smiled and sipped her wine, not caring about the young man's contemptuous attitude.
You Yang turned around to pay attention to Ye Shuang's expression with some worry and apologies. He found that the other party was not embarrassed by being ignored, and even had the mood to raise his glass to him and salute him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and retorted righteously. Friend: "Brother Ye is not one of those third-rate stars... Also, gambling is bad!"
The young man was almost made stupid by being embarrassed... Who would go to an underground casino to say that gambling is bad? !
If you really didn't want to come, why would you have gone? ! Don’t suddenly have an excessive sense of justice after you come here!
Seeing the young man's expression, Ye Shuang was so confused that he couldn't help but chuckle.
The young man came back to his senses and glared at Ye Shuang angrily. Unexpectedly, Ye Shuang smiled even more openly.
You Yang also laughed a few times in embarrassment, probably realizing that his words were a bit too abrupt, so he bumped his arm against the young man and asked teasingly: "Did you win just now?"
"Lost." The young man was so happy that his attention was diverted. He spread his hands and leaned on the sofa behind him with a sigh: "It's just for fun. It's not that easy to win money here... But there's nothing you can do about it. Who says customers don't like women? , I don’t like drinking, I just like gambling, so I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman.”
You Yang laughed at the young man, but he knew that Ye Shuang didn't know him, so after laughing, he helped introduce him: "Brother Ye, this is Mr. Zhuo Feiyang. His family is in the hotel business and also travels abroad. I also got involved… ”
"Well, hello." The young man nodded lightly, but he was still not very enthusiastic about Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang was a little surprised, and tasted the surname carefully: "Zhuo? Hotel?!" Then he smiled: "Is Mr. Zhuo's family from the Sihai Group?"
The young man didn't find it strange. His family's status in Chaohai City was among the first-class, and his reputation was so great that everyone on the street knew about it. What's so strange about being called out? ! "It's the Sihai Group, have you heard of it?"
"I heard something." Ye Shuang's smile deepened. It was more than just something he heard. It was a perfect coincidence.
The client that the trader serves is none other than the Sihai Group. When contacted by the young man's client, the "client" who brought him and You Yang to the casino is almost ready to be revealed: "I heard that Mr. Zhuo's family is cooperating with the Xihua Group recently. Could it be that one of their people is coming to the casino?!"
You Yang was dissatisfied and complained: "Brother Ye, why are you so concerned about Feiyang's family?! My fruit garden is also very big, why don't you pay attention to me?!"
The nagging and resentful little boy almost pointed out that Ye Shuang was partial, but at this time Ye Shuang and Zhuo Feiyang didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Zhuo Feiyang, who was originally looking perfunctory and lazy, suddenly frowned and turned into a vigilant expression: "My family's cooperation with Xihua Group has not been announced to outsiders. How did you know about it?"
Ye Shuang hehehe, just as he was about to make up a random reason, the other party scolded You Yang seriously: "Did you even talk about this kind of thing to outsiders casually?!"
Ye Shuang: “…” (To be continued)
