The years when I was an old man

In the casino, the most taboo is the kind of big talker.

What I see the most accurate way, I win more and lose less.

Anyone who said such things, the old gambler would curse in his heart.

Like now, when I say I'm lucky.Some old gamblers looked at me with contempt.

Walk over to a crude dice table with a hand-painted tablecloth.

There are not as many ways to play in regular casinos, but there are still many.

In addition to the size, you can set the dice, and you can also set the value.

But you can't play a straight, two dice combinations, etc.

And the dice cup on the table is not normal, it's just a big bowl of rough porcelain.On top is a round wooden cover.

I sat in front, looked at the sweaty croupier in a vest, and asked:

"Shake first and then down, or first down and then shake?"

Without even thinking about it, the croupier put on an impatient posture and said:

"never mind!"

"Then shake it first!"

The croupier randomly picked up three dice and threw them into the bowl.

Then hold the bowl in both hands and shake it a few times in mid-air.

After the dice made a crisp sound in the bowl, the croupier put the bowl on the table.

He made a gesture of invitation to everyone, and said:

"The big one kills the big one, the small one kills the small one, it's decided to leave!"

I checked the money in my hand, it was 800 yuan.

Looking back at Aqiang who was looking anxious behind me, I asked him:

"Do you think this is big or small?"

what?

Ah Qiang looked at me with a puzzled face, and he muttered in a low voice:

"Didn't you say that you have good luck with gambling? How can you ask me?"

"Listen to your opinion!"

Ah Qiang had a bitter face, and after sneaking a glance at Brother Rui who was not far away, he whispered:

"How do I know, or you can play casually, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky..."

Ah Qiang was completely desperate.

At this time, the gamblers around began to bet one after another.

Because there were six big ones in a row before, everyone in this move went to the small one one after another.

The "big" betting area is only a few hundred dollars.

I thought about it for a while, clicked out 800 yuan, threw it on the small table, and said:

"Since everyone thinks it's small, let's follow suit!"

Ah Qiang clasped his hands together and nodded.He muttered words that I couldn't understand.

But I knew he was praying.

In the "small" betting area, there must be at least [-] to [-] cash at this time.

And I stared at the dealer, wanting to see how he opened the game.

At this moment, the croupier had a few sliced ​​green mangoes beside him.

He spooned some soy sauce with a small spoon, sprinkled it on the mango, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

At the same time, he muttered:

"If you leave your hands, you won't take any money, let's open it!"

With that said, he put the iron spoon aside.

I tilted my head and stared at the dealer's hand.

Seeing him lift the wooden lid on the porcelain bowl, the people next to him immediately let out an exclamation of disappointment.

"Damn it, what the hell, why is it still big?"

"I'm so pissed off. I originally wanted to push it too high, but seeing that you all played small, I changed it to small again..."

For a while, there were complaints and shouts all around.

While the croupier was chewing green mangoes, he was extremely busy collecting money and losing money.

Ah Qiang behind me was even more anxious and sweaty.

He looked at me with a bitter face and said:

"Is there still one thousand left? Why don't you just bet five hundred this time, at least to keep hope..."

I ignored him, but stared at the green mango and soy sauce next to the croupier.

Just watching, the croupier has already paid the compensation.

I saw him holding a mango in his mouth, holding the bowl in both hands, and shaking it quickly in mid-air.

I took out a cigarette and lit it slowly.

Close your eyes and listen to the crisp sound of the dice hitting the bowl.

With a sound of "clang", the porcelain bowl fell to the table.

I slowly opened my eyes.

At this time, everyone began to place bets.

Some continue to follow the small ones, and some bet on the big ones.

I held 1000 yuan and scanned it on the table.

Looking back at Aqiang, he said:

"Wealth and wealth are sought after, win or lose is determined!"

what?

Ah Qiang looked at me puzzled.He didn't know what I was thinking about.

And I didn't say any more, and threw the 1000 yuan in my hand directly to the sum value "17".

The dice can produce a sum of 17, which can only be two sixes and one five.

This kind of probability is pitifully small, second only to the designated round dice.

But the odds are pretty good, fifty to one.

If I win, he will be [-].

After the croupier glanced at me, his eyes returned to the betting area.

Seeing that everyone had already placed their bets, the croupier shouted:

"Buy and leave, ready to roll the dice!"

While speaking, his hand did not roll the dice.

Instead, he took the small iron spoon again and wanted to get some soy sauce.

As soon as he moved, I suddenly raised my hand.

He held a mango in his left hand, and brought the small spoon and soy sauce to me in his right hand.

"What are you doing?"

The dealer immediately glared at me angrily.

But I laughed and threw the cigarette butt in my hand to the ground.

Picking up a mango, following his example, he spooned some soy sauce and poured it on the mango.

"It's the first time I've seen this way of eating from a foreign place. I want to try the taste..."

While speaking, he took a bite of the green mango.

In the sour taste, there is a hint of mango sweetness.

With the salty taste of soy sauce, it tastes quite good.

While biting the mango, I said to the croupier:

"You can't be so stingy, right? I just ate some mangoes for you, and I'll give you a basket later. Let's roll the dice..."

The croupier put his hand on the bowl, but his eyes were fixed on me.

The gambler next to him was also anxious, and could not help urging:

"Hurry up, don't delay drinking tea for a while!"

The dealer hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Brother Rui who was not far behind him.

At this time, Brother Rui was chewing betel nuts, with a pair of small eyes staring at me who was chewing green mango with deep meaning.

Brother Rui nodded slightly, and the croupier opened the lid.

The moment the lid was opened, there was a piercing scream next to me.

"We won, we won, Brother Guan!"

Ah Qiang and several little brothers shouted frantically.

I just smiled and dropped the last bite of mango into my mouth.

To A Qiang, said:

"I told you a long time ago that my bet is good luck, do you believe me now?"
