The years when I was an old man

"can!"

I promised and asked the waiter to buy a deck of poker.

Xiaoshi gave the two of us 20 melon seeds each as bargaining chips.

I shuffle the cards, Xiaoshi cuts the cards.

According to the rules of blackjack in the casino, the cards are dealt.

Xiao Shi began to bet very cautiously, each time it was a melon seed.

I know that at this time, she is counting the cards to be played.

If I guessed correctly, the card counting method she used should be the Kelly formula and card counting method.

The so-called card counting method refers to remembering how many cards have been dealt in the fastest time.

Also, remember what each card is.

Then, use the high-low card strategy to calculate.

Before counting the cards, you must first determine the value of the cards.

Cards from 2 to 6 have a value of +1.

The value of cards 7-9 is 0.

10—K has a value of -1.

The total value of a deck of cards is 0. When there is a positive number, the player has a big chance of winning.

The larger the value, the higher the probability of winning.

Here, I will not expand on it.

I don't pay a thousand, when two-thirds of a deck of cards has been dealt.

If I win, I should have two or three melon seeds.

Another round started, Xiaoshi suddenly raised her bet and bet five melon seeds.

I smiled to myself.

It seems that through card counting, she feels that her winning rate should have increased now.

I dealt the cards, and her two up cards were 3 and 8.

And one of my open cards was 6, and I didn't look at the hidden cards.

After Xiaoshi took a look at my cards, she tapped on the table lightly, signaling for a card.

I handed her a card, which was a 9.

Three cards total 20 points.

Xiaoshi is very satisfied with this point.

And I opened the hidden card, it was a K, and I had two cards with 16 points.

At this time, Xiaoshi looked a little proud.

Because of the cards that have been played before, low cards mean that there are more small cards.

With my points, the probability of busting is extremely high.

Glancing at her, I smiled.

Randomly dealt a card and lit it on the table.

Seeing this card, Xiaoshi's big eyes straightened immediately.

"how is this possible?"

She muttered in disbelief.

Because my card was actually a 5.

Three cards, a total of 21 points. .seven

I casually put away the melon seeds she bet on, and asked her back:

"How is this impossible? Don't believe I'm so lucky?"

Xiaoshi shook her head again and again:

"You are so lucky. You have already given out three 5s, and you can still get the last 5?"

As she spoke, she looked at me suspiciously.

Perhaps, she was thinking why I was so lucky?

Of course, it is also possible that they are suspicious of me.

"The cards are about to be dealt out, why don't you play a little higher in this round?"

Xiaoshi hesitated, but still pushed all the remaining melon seeds to her face.

I start dealing the cards.

My open card was a 6, and I still didn't look at the hidden card.

And Xiaoshi's two cards turned out to be a pair of aces.

In blackjack, cards are basically divided.

What's more, we played a lot of small cards in front of this round.

If A is split, the probability of getting Blackjack is extremely high.

"I split the cards!"

Xiaoshi said.

But I looked at her, shook my head and said:

"You have no chips now, and you need to bet again to split the cards..."

What I said surprised Xiaoshi a little, she looked at me and said:

"Hey, there's no need to be so serious, right? We're just a game!"

I shake my head slowly.

"No, my principle is, I am willing to bet and admit defeat, and everything must be done according to the rules of the game!"

Xiaoshi silently looked at her two cards.

I know, she is not reconciled.

After all, with such a good hand.

"Actually, even if you split the cards, you can't win!"

I started deep hook fishing, which is probably exciting.

Xiaoshi immediately raised her head, looked at me dissatisfied, and said:

"Impossible! As long as I split the cards, I have a 73.65% chance of getting Blackjack in one of them. The probability of getting Blackjack in both of them is 42.53%. The probability of getting 19 points or more..."

Xiaoshi wanted to talk, but I interrupted her with a smile and said:

"But who made you have no chips? Or, I allow you to split the cards, but you have to promise me one request!"

"what?"

Xiaoshi looked at me warily.

"Give me a copy of the medicine you just mentioned!"

"no!"

Xiaoshi flatly refused.

I'm not surprised by her answer to Xiaoshi who doesn't know Jianghu yet.

I looked at her and said again:

"Why, professional poker players are also afraid of losing?"

Xiaoshi doesn't speak.

"Well, as long as you beat me in any of these two subjects, I will be considered a loser. How?"

"You won't be a cheater, you want to cheat?"

I thought Xiaoshi was just a top student in an ivory tower.

Unexpectedly, she was still so vigilant.

I put the cards in my hand on the table.

"I don't need to move the cards, you draw the cards yourself. Is this all right?"

Xiaoshi looked at me, and a sly look suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Okay, I agree. But I don't want the top two cards. I want to draw cards from the third one. Is that okay?"

"Of course!"

With that said, Xiaoshi split the cards.

Take the remaining two cards from the pile and start drawing cards.

The first one is a 9.

The second card is 8.

20 points for each of the two courses and 19 points for the other.

This is definitely a good number of points in blackjack.

However, Xiaoshi was still a little disappointed when she failed to get Black Jack.

"it's your turn!"

Xiaoshi said.

I uncovered the hidden cards, it was a 7, and two cards were 13 points.

I reached out to touch the cards, but Xiaoshi suddenly interrupted me and said:

"Don't move, I'll give you this card!"

I smiled, it seems that she has begun to doubt me.

Saying that, she took a card and just came to me.

I picked up the cards and lightly lit them on the table.

Xiaoshi's eyes stared fixedly at my hand.

As if afraid of me being cheated.

But what this overseas returnee master didn't know was that she was the one who had her eyes cracked.

She also couldn't see how I changed the cards.

Because, I already knew what my dark card was.

Moreover, I also hid the cards in advance.

The cards are on the table, 8 of spades.

Three cards, blackjack.

I won again.

Looking at this 8 of spades, Xiaoshi immediately looked up at me.

Xiumei frowned, and said dissatisfiedly:

"No, you cheated, you must have cheated! You got the last 5 in the last round. You got the last 8 in this round. You must have cheated!"

Cheating?

I laughed.

Looking at Xiaoshi, I said lightly:

"You're not right, we don't call it cheating, we call out a thousand!"
