Super Doctor of the Universe

After getting off the plane in Las Vegas, someone came to pick him up soon. There are people at the Las Vegas airport to pick up guests to the major casinos.

Link is also an old gambler. This time he did not follow the usual way of going from casino to casino, but went directly to the most famous MGM Casino Hotel.

First, he reported his name to the front desk, handed his ID to the front desk, and completed the check-in procedures. The waiter delivered Link's luggage to the room, and Link went downstairs to the casino.

Unlike the previous exchange of only a few thousand dollars at the beginning, this time Link directly exchanged 50,000 chips, three 10,000 chips, two 5,000 chips, and a thousand chips.

It is already past ten o'clock in the evening, but the casino is still crowded with people. Gamblers from all over the world have filled the hall.

Gamblers who are eager to get rich overnight are crowded around the baccarat, roulette, blackjack and other gambling tables, forgetting the change of time, and their eyes are only the chips on the table and the results opened by the dealer.

Every time the result of the bet is revealed, there will be a huge sigh from the crowd, or they will cheer excitedly and take the chips into their arms. If they win a lot, they will throw a chip to the dealer as a tip.

Instead of going to the most familiar blackjack table, Link went directly to the roulette table.

This American roulette has 00, 0 and numbers from 1 to 36 marked on the roulette wheel. Except for 0 and 00 which are green, the other numbers are divided into red and black according to odd or even numbers. The dealer puts an ivory ball on the roulette wheel and rotates it clockwise.

If the ball falls between any two metal intervals on the roulette wheel and hits the number, color, etc. marked with the winning number, the gambler can win, but if it falls to 0 and 00, the dealer will kill.

Because of this rule, the dealer has a 5.26% advantage. As long as the game time is long enough, the dealer will always be the winner, but for Link, his chance of winning is higher than that of the dealer.

Today's roulette wheels are all mechanically controlled. Although they seem to be irregular, their rules can actually be calculated.

Just like in an episode of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon went to Las Vegas to calculate the roulette table in order to raise funds. He was finally able to narrow down the possibilities to three numbers, but he was asked to leave by the casino staff before he placed his bet.

Link had come to Las Vegas many times before. Every time he came to this casino, he would observe and calculate the rules and make corrections. He had already completed the relevant preparations.

Therefore, after watching a few plates and placing two small bets, he had a number in his mind. For example, he knew that the probability of the next two numbers 19 and 31 appearing together was as high as 87%.

If you choose to bet on a specific number, this bet is called betting on a single number in roulette. Once you hit it, you will get a super high odds of more than 30 times, but few people bet like this because the probability is too small.

If Link bets on these two numbers alone, he is indeed very likely to win, but he doesn't want to be in the limelight, so he still chooses to bet on odds and evens like most gamblers.

Of course, he seemed to randomly bet on red, black, odd and even, and had some wins and some losses, but in fact, the chips on hand kept increasing. When he won, he bet more big chips, and when he lost, he bet more small chips.

So his overall winning rate was less than 50%, but in more than an hour, the chips on his hand had increased from 50,000 US dollars to 1.61 million US dollars.

If Link wanted to continue, it would be easy to win 10 or 20 million US dollars in one night, but Link could feel that the casino had been paying attention to him for a while.

Therefore, Link stopped when he saw the good, after all, it was not uncommon to occasionally encounter lucky gamblers to win 1 or 2 million US dollars, as long as he didn't repeat it in the short term.

After giving a $1,000 tip to the nice-looking female public relations person next to him, Link just stood up and found that the Texas Hold'em table not far away was very lively, so he asked, "What's going on over there?"

"Sir, that's the Texas Hold'em tournament that's being held. You can enter the tournament with just a thousand chips and compete for a million-dollar prize. Sir, you're a day late, otherwise you would have had a chance to sign up."

In his previous life, Link had never played Texas Hold'em, but this life is different. As an American whose hometown is still Texas, how could he not understand Texas Hold'em.

Each player is dealt two hole cards, and 5 community cards are dealt on the table in turn. Players use their own two hole cards and 5 community cards to freely combine, and the winner is determined by the size.

This game is very technical, and many people are fascinated by it. Various Texas Hold'em competitions are held around the world every year.

According to regulations, the competition has a threshold of 1,000 yuan, and the total prize money will be about 1 million US dollars, which means that the number of participants is about 1,000.

According to general rules, 10%, or about 100 people, will enter the money circle and share the total prize money of 1 million US dollars.

The first place winner will get about 17.5%, which is about 175,000 yuan in prize money, and the lowest can only get 0.17%, which is 1,700 yuan. If you enter the money circle, you can make a profit.

Las Vegas casinos of all sizes hold similar activities almost every month, with large and small scales. This competition is a relatively large one. Link has never participated in it before, because this kind of competition usually takes two or three days.

In this time, Link won no less than this by playing blackjack. The key is that winning the first prize means that he will most likely become famous and become the focus of the casino, which is inconsistent with Link's previous principle of keeping a low profile.

However, out of interest, Link still went over to watch for a while, and as a result, he saw an acquaintance at the gambling table, Tom Dewan.

This guy is a professional poker player who often hangs out in Las Vegas, and even goes to Europe or Southeast Asia from time to time to participate in various poker competitions. He has won many prizes and can be said to be a top player.

Because he has been in and out of Las Vegas frequently in the past year, Link has played a few games with him by chance. The two of them can be considered acquaintances, but they don't have a very deep friendship.

At this time, this game has obviously come to the end. Relying on a steal, Tom successfully defeated his opponent and won the game of the day. At the same time, he accepted the cheers of the people around him and prepared to leave.

At this time, he also saw Link who was watching, and immediately came over and said: "Hey, man, I didn't expect you to come today, and it seems that you have gained a lot."

Obviously he saw the chips in Link's hand, and Link shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe today is a good day, I have gained a lot."

"Let's go for a drink together." Tom took the initiative to speak. He had only played two games with Link before, but Link's level was very high, which impressed him. In addition, he had just won and was in a good mood.

Just when Link was about to answer, a man came over and said: "Mr. Dewan, my boss wants to meet with you."

Seeing this person coming, Link frowned slightly. The experience gained from many missions and intuition told him that the person in front of him was probably not a regular business, so he said: "I have something else to do, you go first."

"Okay." Tom and Link were just nodding acquaintances, and he didn't think much about it, so he went to deal with the man.

After exchanging the chips for money, Link thought about it and went directly to another casino. Although it was already early in the morning, casinos in Las Vegas are open all night.

Relying on the data calculated before, Link also harvested more than one million US dollars at the roulette table of another large casino, and then returned to the hotel to rest.

The next day, Link went to several casinos of good size in succession and made considerable profits. When it was evening, not long after returning to the hotel, someone knocked on the door of the room.

"Hello, Mr. Link." A middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit and with shiny hair stood at the door and said to Link:

"I am the manager of the casino. We hope that you will not participate in projects with dealers in Las Vegas in the future."
