Chapter 22 21. The sloppy old man

The casino started to open, and I can’t tell you how many places I’ve changed. I just remember moving once a week or two. yards, abandoned factories.There is no need for extensive construction and decoration, as long as the gambling table and tools are pulled over, the work can start.I have also been to some towns near Ningbo, and several larger towns nearby, but I really can’t remember which ones I have been to.No matter where we moved, the casinos were full of people.Yang Laosan was able to gather these gamblers together to gamble every day, and gradually he gambled a group of people bankrupt.Casinos cheat people out of tricks, and there are tricksters who try their best to cheat casinos out of tricks.These people have various methods, but in the end they were all caught by the casino, and they all ended badly.To spend money in a casino is to seek skin from a tiger.

On weekdays, I wandered around the casino, mainly to prevent people from cheating, and often wandered from table to table to observe.The first time I took a shot was a pair of young puppies, and it really took me a lot of trouble to catch them.Let’s talk about the young man first, with a slovenly appearance. I saw him happily betting in the casino on the opening day of the casino, and he was betting on hundreds of thousands of money.This casino is so dark, how can he win?Not long after, I lost about 60,000.He doesn't seem to have any legitimate occupation, nor is he a professional hooker, at most he is a winner.

That day, I was wandering around the casino as usual and saw him again.It seemed that he didn't sleep well, and he didn't care about the small holes in his leather shoes. His hair was a bit long and messy, and it probably hadn't been cut for a long time.During this period of time, I can often see this kid, and I often see him lose everything, so I can be regarded as a half-acquaintance.He only came to play baccarat, and I never made it a point to observe him.In my eyes, he is just a down-and-out little gambler.He has a beautiful object, and every time he comes, the little girl always follows him.She is young and has long hair.Whenever she saw that kid winning money, she would be happy, with an excited look on her face.Every time that kid loses, she also gets anxious.Sometimes when the man bet a little bigger, or when someone else flopped, she would loudly follow suit, with an anxious look on her face.Every time that kid lost everything, she followed him with a sad expression and reluctantly left.Occasionally, if the kid wins some money, the girl can also ask for a few to bet on other tables.Because they always come to play, so I know.But I never pay attention to whether they will make money, because no matter how they look, they are both full-fledged winners, little winners who come to give money on time every day.

They perform thousands of tricks (strictly speaking, they are not thousands of skills in the traditional sense), and their number is not large, so it is difficult to find them.That day I watched the excitement in front of the Xijiale stage. At that time, the newly trained little girl could already preside over the stage with ease.I just watch everyone play and pay attention to whether someone is playing tricks.At the gaming table, everyone was betting unrepentantly, looking at everything as normal.After reading a hand of cards, I wanted to go to the big and small point table to have a look.After turning around and taking a few steps, I suddenly felt something was wrong in my mind, which felt very strange.It's as if you just left home and didn't walk a few steps away, and suddenly found that you forgot to bring something, but you can't remember what you forgot.I hurriedly turned back to look at the baccarat table.Looking back, there was nothing wrong, everything was going on in an orderly manner, everyone bet money, and the croupier dealt cards.I watched several hands in a row, and I didn't see anything wrong.But what was that moment in your mind?I really don't have any impression. I stood there in a daze for a long time, and observed for a long time, but I just couldn't remember what flashed in my mind just now, and brought me back here again.

After standing in front of the stage for a long time, I still can't figure out what made me come back to watch it.I secretly laughed at myself, wondering if I was a little nervous, or a little obsessive-compulsive disorder?I used to do this kind of thing. Once I left home and locked the door, and went down a few floors, my mind would think: Did you lock the door just now?After careful calculation, well, it is locked.After walking a few more steps, I was asking myself again in my mind: Is it really locked?So I am not sure myself.I hurried back and yanked the door a few more times before I could leave with peace of mind.At this time, I wondered if I was mentally ill.There seems to be nothing wrong with this table, but I started to pay more attention to this table, and I spent more time looking at this table than usual.

Moreover, I don't have to worry about other countertops at this time.High-tech dice remote control cups are placed on the big and small.In the past, underground casinos buried the magnet coils in the table, and controlled the size of the dice through the remote control. When the croupier operated, he had to place the cup on the designated position, but this remote control cup does not need to do that, and can be placed anywhere. Anywhere, because its magnet wire is in the chassis of the remote control, the coil is more cleverly disguised, even if you break it open, you can't find the coil.The coil is actually disguised as the side of the base, the material is specially made, and the color is integrated with the cup.The dice are also made of high-grade materials. If you smash them casually, there is nothing inside. It looks like an ordinary dice from the outside.But it is a high-tech thing, and it cost a lot of money when I bought it.I can't say what the specific material of this dice is.Others such as Fantan, Roulette, Blackjack, and Gangzi’s secret operations, Yang Laoer’s buddies are more proficient than me in handling them, so I don’t bother to worry about them.I just watched one by one in front of the two tables of Dragon Tiger Fight and Baccarat.During this period, the kid also made tricks a few times, but I didn't see it like a fool, or he waited for me to go to the stage of Dragon Tiger Fighting to watch the fun before he did it.

It was the second night that really showed me that the kid was out.The casino just opened at 8:00 pm, and the other tables have not yet opened, but the baccarat is already in full swing.I stood far away and watched everyone play.My attention is basically on the hands of the card holder and the card player. When the cards are opened, everyone's attention on the field is on the cards.Bettors, watchers, and staff are all anxiously waiting for what card will be played.There are so many people betting money, the bankers and players have bet a lot of money.The banker bets much less money than the player, but because he recently joined a big winner, it is said that he is very rich.He is a big fish, and if he gets caught in it, he will come back often in the future.He was just starting out, playing cautiously, making small bets.Such a big Kaizi needs to be stewed slowly. This is something that we have been studying together for a long time.In that hand, his money was bet on the banker, so the croupier had to let the player win according to the prompt, so that the croupier felt that the casino was very formal and fair, and he didn’t kill big and lose small, so he would slowly increase his bets in the future .

Sure enough, the player won when the cards were played, and the gamblers who bet on the player burst into cheers.Seeing these winners cheering happily, I don't feel any distress at all, and I don't worry if they won't come. They are all old customers. Today, I will let you have some sweetness in order to catch this big winner.The girl who matched the code took back all the small money from the dealer and went to compensate the player.That big Kaizi seems to be very popular, everyone knows that he is rich, and he doesn't care about winning or losing.Everyone saw that he had lost, and they all came up to please him, and they all said something to feel sorry for him.It's hard to say how much real regret is in it.One of them who felt sorry for him was 100% hypocritical.That person is the one who pulled him into this casino to play.Because he lured people to play, the casino would give him a 30% kickback.This rebate is not the exclusive operating method of this underground casino. Macau's regular casino also has it, and it is also calculated at 30%.But the people who solicit customers for the casinos there are much more honest, and there is a famous name called gaming brokers. They specialize in introducing guests from the mainland to play in Macau casinos. In Macau, gaming brokers are a legitimate industry. There is an association.They introduce customers to play in casinos in Macau.When the guests win, the casino also gives them a kickback, which is also calculated on the basis of 30%.The "bookmaker" at our casino saw me looking at him and gave me a knowing smile.

At this time, the big winner was arranging the chips in his hand, with a look of indifference, discussing with everyone what the next hand would be with great interest, and exchanging experience in calculating probability with each other.Just when the girl who distributed the codes went from house to house to pay the money to the idlers, something flashed in my mind again.There was a problem on the table, but this time I caught it, it was a 5000 chip. In my impression, that chip should be bet on the banker's position, and should be taken away by the girl who distributed the chips.But the girl who distributed the chips did not collect the 5,000 chips, because it was lying on the player's betting area, waiting for the girl to lose money.Did this bargaining chip grow legs and run over by itself?
