Chapter 2 The introduction startled the dream, I am the legendary cheater

For many years, I have always seen those eyes asking for help in my dreams. She looked at me pleadingly, looking into my eyes again and again... I can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but since that incident, I often wake up in the same dream, and every time I break out in a cold sweat, I can't fall asleep for a long time.I'll never forget that look as long as I live, and I don't know what's going on with her—or rather, them.I have had this dream for many years, and I sincerely hope that she (they) can forgive me, no matter how much money, I am willing to use money to compensate her, although money can't redeem anything, but now I can only do this.

It's a long story. In the autumn of 2001, Qiuhuo was still very powerful. In the city where I lived, no one was willing to take me to play in casinos. When people I knew saw me coming, they dumped me thousands of yuan and sent me away.I have nothing to do, I just go to watch the fun with my friends all day long, which is very annoying. Just when I had nothing to do, Dajun, a friend from the former casino, called me and asked me to go to Tianjin to help catch Qian. On the phone, he briefly introduced that this is a casino run by a Beijing boss. It has been open for many years, but because of its hard roots, it has never failed.Three months ago, the casino found out that someone was cheating, and it took a long time to catch it. Many experts were invited to look at it, but nothing was wrong.The boss is certain that he must find out the truth, so he is still looking for someone everywhere.

At that time, my skills were no longer at the same level as the casino's old tricksters, so Dajun recommended me to the boss to catch tricksters.On the phone, Dajun also said that he is now working with this boss, and the boss treats him very well; if he has money to earn, he will treat it as a trip if he can't see anything.It just so happens that our mutual friend and the master master who brought me into Taoism is also in Tianjin, so we will meet by the way. The price offered by the boss was 2 million. I was immediately tempted and bought a plane ticket that day.When I got off the plane, Dabin and Dajun all came to pick me up. There was also a woman in her thirties who was dressed smartly. I can see you."

They settled me in a big hotel and left the big guest to accompany me. Da Jun and the proprietress went to work and said they would welcome me in the evening.It was the first time in his life that he was entertained like this, and suddenly he felt like a gentleman. At almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon, both the boss and the proprietress came, and the boss looked more than 60 (I later found out that it was the second proprietress).During the meal, I had a general understanding of the inside story of the casino, and asked the boss if the casino was up to no good. Da Jun took over the conversation: "The casino is 100% fair, so the big money from the surrounding areas like to gamble here in recent years."

The proprietress gave me two cards, one is a membership card, and the other is a VIP card or something.You can't get in here without a membership card, and you can't get in without a gold card in the private room.With so many rules, I couldn't help cursing my mother secretly. The casino opens after 10:00 p.m., and I, Dabin, and Dajun made an appointment, and I pretended to be an individual customer to go in, and everyone pretended not to know each other. It was only when I arrived at the casino that I realized that the scale of the place was really large. From the outside, it looked like a large-scale bathing and catering center with all kinds of facilities.The casino is on the 8th floor, and it looks gorgeous under the lights.Dajun let me go by myself, just show my gold card at the checkout.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, work was about to start. I went to the 8th floor, a very open hall, with more than 10 tables, and there were crowds of people in front of each table. I was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, like a country bumpkin.A middle-aged man with the sign of "Floor Manager" passed me and handed me a stack of things. He passed it so skillfully that no one else could see that we were handing over things.When I went to a place where no one was around, I saw 5 chips, 100,000 each, golden yellow. I wandered around and Dajun said the cheating happened on the baccarat table, but not sure which table.I saw Dajun strolling in his uniform, and when I passed him, I looked at his sign: Manager on Duty.He didn't give me a hint.

I had no choice but to continue to look around. Three baccarat tables were placed in the outer hall, and each table was crowded with people.I watched each table for half an hour, and there was basically nothing wrong with it.Then I go to the VIP area.The VIP area is in a large private room, just a table, playing baccarat, the stakes are scary, some of them should look like officials, and they don't look angry.However, there is also an unlucky person who keeps wiping sweat regardless of his appearance. The air conditioner in the private room is turned on very loudly. Could it be that his sweat glands are too developed?

I was distracted when Dabin pulled me from behind, and he asked me to pay attention to the three men and two women on stage 3 outside.I went to station No. 3 and observed carefully.People say that thieves look at their eyes, but I say it's up to their hands to catch cheaters.I also noticed the five people, they didn't seem to know each other, they played their own games, their bets were not big, so they couldn't check their cards, and they didn't have a chance to make a thousand.I was paying attention and they didn't miss out!They bet casually, won a lot, and piled high in front of them.

I didn't see anything wrong until the show ended at 5 o'clock in the morning, and I felt very depressed.As soon as I got back to the hotel, Dajun came to ask me about the results of my observation.Da Jun said: "They basically win money when they come. These five people know each other, but they never speak. Every day, one person wins or that person wins. It has been like this for more than three months. They don't come every day, nor We came together, but we can be sure that they know each other, and the accounts of several people will definitely win, not lose." I also learned from him that suspicion is nothing but suspicion, and people from all walks of life came to arrest him, but they didn't catch anything.This boss can be regarded as a leader in opening casinos, and he will accompany those who win money with real skills; but he has no reason to say that he is out of money, and it will damage his reputation if he speaks out.

I explained to Dajun: "I've been watching them all night, but I haven't found anything wrong with them. They bet very casually. The big one is 70,000, and the small one is 5,000. They don't move their cards, so it is impossible to make a thousand." The casino also checked the invalid cards afterwards, but found nothing wrong.I went again the next day, but the five people did not come. On the third day, I saw them again at the casino, only as two men and one woman.They also go to the baccarat table one by one to play, not fixed.I paid special attention to the card lasts and tables on the baccarat table. They are all made according to international standards and should be fine. I have been betting randomly on the table they play.If they are really scammers, they should be very high-level scammers, and they feel like they want to win money in a long way.

What is wrong with it, I can't see it at all.At that time, I considered myself a master of thousands of arts. No matter how high-tech or fast the technique is, it is difficult to hide it from my eyes.I watched it for another night to make sure they didn't lose money, but they won again. How can this be explained?There are people who win every day, but I have never seen someone who wins for three consecutive months.A week has passed, and I still haven't found any clues. The casino owner and wife don't say anything on the surface, but I can feel their disappointment and neglect. ", and thanked me for coming all the way.After hearing these words, my face became hot.My temper is that of a stubborn donkey, how can I be looked down upon like this? On the same day, I moved out of the hotel and changed to another one (because the owner of the hotel paid for all the expenses, how could I continue to live with such an old face). But I told Dajun: "I am determined not to leave, we must see what's wrong." Dajun didn't say anything, and every time I entered the casino, he would secretly pass me the code, and he didn't ask me for the card, so he just When I give it to him for free. I have been in Tianjin for 12 days, and things have turned around.That day, I went to the casino early, sat on table 2, and drank coffee elegantly like everyone else.When the casino started, the croupier (the master of ceremonies who presided over the table) came to the stage with gambling equipment, followed by two little girls who distributed codes. After confirming that there were enough people on the field to start the game, the croupier girl opened all eight decks of poker for everyone to check.After the inspection, they began to shuffle the cards. Beginning in 2001, domestic casinos followed the lead of international casinos, removed the automatic card shuffling machine and changed it to hand shuffling, only dealers were allowed to shuffle cards; from 2003 to 2005, players could also participate in spleen shuffling; after 2005, big casinos opened There is a special room with transparent sides so that players can clearly see the card shuffling action from the outside. After the cards are shuffled, which table the poker will go to is determined by lottery. That little croupier girl was good-looking, with big watery eyes, long eyelashes, a bulging face, and very good skin. Just looking at it made me want to pinch her, so I couldn't help but pay attention to her.Seeing the girl shuffling the cards, I studied her hands, like water onions.Looking at it, I seem to have found something.She washed the poker densely, and it was so good that my heart skipped a beat.This dealer has a problem! But I was not sure at the time, so I got up and went to another table for a stroll.Find a place where no one is around, call Da Jun, and ask Da Jun, "Is there any problem with the croupier at table 2?" Dajun was taken aback by my question, shook his head and said, "How is that possible? It is a relative of the boss, and the boss cultivated it all by himself. Besides, the brand tree is black, and it is made according to the specifications of international casinos. It cannot be faked. He patted me on the shoulder, "San'er, are you getting a little nervous?" I ignored his ridicule, and asked Dajun again: "Do those people on this girl's table win every time?" Dajun said, "No, I have won every table. Don't think about it, the croupier will never There may be a problem, and if there is a problem, it will not escape my eyes." I am confused again, am I wrong?Why do I feel that this method is so familiar?The first round of eight decks was almost over, and I went over again, and the woman had already won 200,000.After the game ended, she went to platform 1. I followed where she walked and saw that the man she often worked with was betting money on platform 1.The croupier on that stage was a slightly older girl, she was pretty good looking, and she was smiling, and that man also looked like he had won more than 70,000 yuan.It's fucking evil. Seeing the new eight decks of cards being removed on the 2nd station, I went to watch the girl shuffling the cards again, and she still shuffled them normally, the same densely packed, she shuffled really well, did I misunderstand? Dajun happened to be away, so I turned around and found another manager on duty, and asked to watch the surveillance video. After asking for instructions, he took me into their video room.I want to rewatch the part where the girl shuffles the cards.They only pay attention to betting money and watching the card area. The angle of the video is not very good, and they can't see it very clearly.I also asked to read the previous few days, and it is not very clear, but the basic movement of moving cards can still be seen.After reading it, I confirmed my opinion: it was the croupier who was out of money.But I'm not sure, I will continue to observe. So I strolled to the arena again, and those people left early, watching the dealer's next round of shuffling, I didn't see anything, but I already knew it in my heart. The next day, I was gearing up to make a move, but I didn't want those unlucky guys not to come.On the third day, I went in early again, and the unlucky ones were already there.I sat at table No. 2 and carefully observed the croupier shuffling the cards. Today, this table was the girl from table No. 1 the day before yesterday. That group also won a lot at her table.At that time, I pretended to count the chips, but actually watched her shuffle. She shuffles like this too!I concluded that the two croupier girls helped those people out of money by shuffling the cards.Their method is called perfect shuffling. According to my second master, in 1998, almost no one in China knew it. This thing only existed in some big casinos in the United States.Simply put, through shuffling, the cards are edited into a regular order, as long as the calculation is accurate, it is possible to know what card everyone on the field will be dealt.Sure enough, when those guys encountered a familiar sequence, they basically made big bets, and when they were uncertain, they bet randomly. I was still not sure about the order of the cards, so I didn't start to catch that day. I went back early and bought a calculator and two decks of poker. I calculated the detailed order of the two decks from shuffling 1 to 9 until the next morning. After 10 o'clock, I finished the calculation, and then I just memorized it. I went there early in the afternoon, drank at their bar, and hung up on Dajun to ask him to pay the bill for me: "I ordered a good bottle of wine, but there is not enough money in the bag. Your bartender wants to kill me. A bottle of wine cost me more than 6,000." He laughed and said, "You silly bastard, you should be slaughtered." After a while, the second proprietress walked over, followed by the army.I am ready to catch a thousand today, I am in a relaxed mood, and I still have the heart to joke, saying: "Sister Li, come and pay the bill for me." She smiled, turned her head and said to the bartender: "Never mind, I'll sign this gentleman's order later." Then she turned to me and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?" I smiled and said, "If you don't catch me, I won't leave. I have to earn the 2 million to go back and ask for a wife." Seeing me like this, she probably guessed that I had a good idea, so she said: "As long as you catch it, I can give you more than 2 million. Tell me, what are the conditions." I deliberately teased her, and the lion said loudly: "I've fallen in love with the car driven by your army." She said boldly: "No problem at all, as long as you can catch it, I will bring you one tomorrow." I immediately said: "Prepare me 1 million chips tonight, and I will catch you tonight, unless they don't come!" They did come at night. I went to their table, and the croupier girl shuffled it perfectly 7 times, then put all the shuffled cards together, cut the cards, peeled the cards, put them in the tree, and the game began. At the beginning, those unlucky guys were absent-mindedly betting on the money, and I threw the same thing around, silently calculating what the next card should be, and those guys were also very focused on watching.Of course, all the players on the field are very focused, and the bets are all real money.After a few rounds, I finally saw the familiar order, which was the same as I calculated, and those people also noticed that they started to play big chips, and they could figure out what the next card was and what cards they made up every time. Cards, of course, will win.I think I should make a move. I stood up and took out all the chips in my trouser pocket. The players on the field were surprised to see me take out so many large golden chips, and they seemed to whisper: "Pretend to come, you have money!" Just go to the VIP room to play!" I pretended not to hear. I figured it out, next time it should be the player who made up the cards, so I piled up all the chips on the player and said, "I'll cover the player, and I'll take whatever the banker bets on." The croupier smiled and said: "Sir, you must put an accurate number. You can't bet money like this. If no one else bets, you can only bet up to 100,000. You can only increase if the dealer increases." "Really? Then I'll start with 100,000, and I'll take whatever the dealer buys." Everyone looked at me with stunned eyes, and no one said a word.The dealer dealt the cards and needless to say I won. In the next hand, I calculated that the dealer would win, so I beat the dealer, and of course I won.The third time I bagged the money on the field again and won.Maybe my actions were too arrogant, many people stopped playing and came over to watch the excitement. Dajun stood behind me at this time, with a very focused expression, watching my performance without saying a word.I took it all six times in a row, and those who said I pretended to be X asked me to take a little bit of them in turn.At this time, the dealer girl's expression was no longer natural, and her smile was stiff. When I signed the 11th scene, the girl probably understood that I had seen her tricks. When she spoke, the corners of her mouth trembled a little. She looked at me with pleading eyes, and looked into my eyes again and again. Li made it clear that he hoped I could get over it.But I was only thinking about money at the time, if God told me to do it all over again, I would definitely not expose her! The army knew that I had been caught, and immediately sent some people to maintain order on the scene, and all irrelevant people were cleared away. The men and women who came out saw that the situation was not good, and were about to slip away, but were forcibly left by the people from the casino. After a while, the second proprietress also came in, and said that she found someone out of the casino and needed to be verified. The business was temporarily closed for a while, and everyone went to the bar, and the drinks were free of charge. In this way, all unrelated people were invited to the bar. The people from the casino surrounded the table, and the game continued, but the hands of the croupier girl who dealt the cards became more and more trembling, and finally she couldn't even deal the cards. "Continue posting!" The second proprietress yelled loudly, and the girl had covered her face and squatted on the edge of the table, crying.I explained to the army what cards were the next few cards and why they had this effect. Then I ordered two decks of poker and showed everyone the perfect shuffling. Those who watched the scene exclaimed, thinking that I was doing magic tricks.Afterwards, I ordered two decks of poker, washed them 7 times (same as the croupier girl), and then unfolded them on the gaming table, took out all the pokers in the card tree, and compared them with the two decks I had washed. , find out the same order, arrange it for everyone to see: exactly the same! The second proprietress pointed to another croupier girl who could shuffle the cards perfectly and asked me: "Third brother, where is the table over there?" I was very proud and said: "No. 1 and No. 2 should be like this, and No. 3 is not a big problem." .” As soon as the words fell, a man went over and lifted the croupier from the table over there like a chicken.She knew that she was exposed, and she was already shaken into a sieve. I was full of pride, and then the scene turned my pride into a lifelong regret.There was only a scream, and there was an extra eyeball on the ground, and the croupier girl rolled on the ground in pain, screaming shrillly.I've had nightmares since then, and at night, the louder voices make the hairs stand on end.From then on, I also set a rule for myself. Anyone who wants to arrest me must agree in advance not to hurt others, otherwise they will not be arrested. Later, I heard that the casino owner gave the croupier 2 million to settle the matter.Anyway, these two girls are mostly because I have been hurt so much. If there is a chance, I hope to make up for them, but I dare not ask for their forgiveness. This was the first time I came forward to arrest Qian, and I was protected that day.The next day, the casino gave me 2 million. I gave 500,000 to the army, and I wanted to give 500,000 to the big guest, but the big guest didn't want it.The owner of the casino is really trustworthy, he really gave me the car keys, and gave me all the formalities immediately.I repeatedly said that I was joking that day, but he insisted on giving it to me. If I didn't want it, I would beat him or kill him, so I had no choice but to take it.When he left, he gave the car to Dabin. In the evening, the boss invited me to the most luxurious restaurant, thanked me a lot, and asked me to keep in touch with him in the future.I didn't ask about the relationship between those two girls and those unlucky guys, nor did I ask how they practiced.I inquired about how to deal with it, but they didn't say anything about it. When I asked Dajun, he didn't say anything.Then, I left that city. As you know by now, I'm a hooker, a casino hooker. Many people have watched movies and TV shows about gambling, and the gamblers in them are all handsome, calm and sophisticated.Compared with these naturally handsome guys, I have low self-esteem.I am mediocre, thin, and tall. I belong to the kind that you can't find in the crowd. Few people would associate me with a professional hooker.Only once did an old man who looked at me meaningfully reveal my identity.At that time, I was in a bit of a state of embarrassment, and it was not a job I could get on the table.Looking at his walnut-skin-like face and those sophisticated cloudy eyes, I couldn't tell what it was like.The complicated look in the old man's eyes has been deeply imprinted in my mind.What would it be like if I were lucky enough to live to that old age in peace? This year, I am 37 years old, but my heart seems to be 73 years old. I work hard in the casino, and my heart grows old very fast. The life of more than 30 years seems to have overdrawn the vitality of the rest of my life, and nothing can excite me.Maybe I'm really old.Occasionally I also ask myself, is my life like this?Who knows. The gods of gamblers in movies often perform dazzling gambling skills. In my opinion, there are some childish things.The cheating methods I have come into contact with, are familiar with, and used are simply unimaginable to ordinary people, but now the masters' tricks and high-tech cheating methods are even more varied.Only when you really enter this industry can you realize how deep and muddy the water inside is... I have already washed my hands of gold and never gambled anymore. Up to now, I can say that hundreds of cheaters have been planted in my hands, but I hide it very well, which is largely due to my ordinary appearance.A handsome young man is not suitable for this job, it is too conspicuous.It is easy to offend people by catching cheaters, so I will not catch cheaters myself unless it is absolutely necessary.But when it comes to my name, most dealers who run casinos and boats in the north of the Yellow River know.Whenever a new casino opens, if a professional trickster is encountered and the banker cannot catch it by himself, they will usually come to me.The remuneration for catching scammers is very generous. As long as you catch the current one, you can get one-fifth of the profits of the three-day business.In the past few years, I have basically never missed a lot, only one time I failed to fulfill the entrustment of the dealer, because the old trickster was kind to me before, and I really couldn't catch it. Generally speaking, the dealers of large casinos are more trustworthy. As long as they catch them, they will pay money according to the prior agreement. The most important reason for me to write this book is: I have seen too many tragedies in the world where people lost their fortunes due to gambling, and their wives and children were separated. I have experienced all of these. Arrived, when I almost lost my life.I would like to advise those who are still obsessed with gambling from the perspective of those who have experienced it. The so-called ten gambling and nine cheating, stop gambling. Life cannot be repeated, and life cannot be chosen again. When I realized something, I had wasted nearly twenty years of good time. My most precious youth years passed away silently in gambling, and there are many more The beautiful emotions that I had were not cherished when I was indulging in gambling. A few days ago, I saw those eyes asking for help again in my dream. She looked at me beggingly, looked into my eyes again and again, her lips were trembling.After waking up, I started to think about how I got on this road, about those people, about those things.I seem to have returned to the small bridge in front of the fishing village in my hometown. When I walked over and looked back at the bridge, it was written: Naihe Bridge...
