Urban Sims

On the morning of September 14th.

On a passenger plane flying to Omen, in the first class cabin, a man dressed in casual clothes held a knife and fork in his hand, cut off a small piece of medium-rare beef on the plate, and put it elegantly into his mouth , after swallowing, he put down the knife, picked up the red wine placed aside, took a sip, and then turned to look at the white clouds receding outside the window, with a very comfortable expression.

This man is Zhou Ming. After the exam, Zhou Ming knew that all of his eight subjects must have scored above 90. He wanted to travel thousands of miles away in about a month before the results were announced and the admission notice came out. In the city of Omen, I have to do something.

This matter is expected to take him five to seven days, and he has set a small goal:

100 million.

You have to win at least 100 million.

Omen City is the only place in country Z where gambling is legalized, and the money won can be legally brought into the mirror after paying taxes. This city is the most suitable place for Zhou Ming to make a quick buck.

So after going to the police station to apply for a visa, he took five hundred thousand principal with him and prepared to go to that city to show off his gambling skills.

…

On the evening of September 14th.

The Macau Casino is brightly lit and the atmosphere is noisy and lively.

In the gambling hall on the first floor, there are many gambling tables and gambling machines, people standing, sitting or watching, crowded and crowded, and there are gamblers everywhere.

"I bet 7 points, 20,000!"

"Oh, I almost hit it, I almost hit it, twelve times!"

"Raise 100,000! Are you going to follow? You don't dare to follow. Fortunately, you didn't follow. My card is a straight flush!"

"Nine-band K, I just bet 20,000. It would be great if I were the banker. I can kill all in this Baccarat game!"

"..."

He went to the chip table to exchange for half a million chips. Looking at the performance of these gamblers, Zhou Ming showed a smile. It was such a familiar scene.

These gamblers are the same as those in the upper section of "Money Empire": greedy, fanatical, eager to get rich overnight, and unable to stop without losing all.

In fact, each of them is a zero-sum gamer in the real world, but their gambling capital is small, their gambling skills are not very good, and if they lose everything, the end will not be particularly miserable.

I walked around various gaming tables and gambling machines, thinking big in front of dozens of gambling methods such as roulette, slot machines, Sic Bo, Baccarat, Blackjack, Texas Hold'em, Stud, etc. Zhou Ming, who won a fortune, chose the method with the highest winning rate.

Digital roulette, slot machines and other electronic gambling are excluded first. Although their maximum odds can reach 1:35 and 1:88, if you want to deduce the probability formula of the machine program, the amount of calculations is too great and you have to play thousands of times. , it takes tens of thousands of times to figure out some patterns, Zhou Ming didn't want to waste too much time.

Baccarat is also excluded. Baccarat cannot raise bets. You win or lose no matter how much you bet. The money comes in too slowly.

Sic Bo is the simplest way to play, but it is difficult to figure out the rules under the dealer's manual operation.

Only blackjack, Texas hold'em, and stud are more suitable for you.

Zhou Ming chose blackjack.

The gameplay of blackjack is the PK between the player and the banker. Each player will be dealt 2-9 cards. The calculation rules of poker points are: K, Q, J and 10 cards are all counted as 10 points; A card can be counted as 1 Points can also be counted as 11 points, and it is up to the player to decide. When the player stops playing, the points will be regarded as the highest and try not to explode. For example, A+9 is 20, A+4+8 is 13, and A+3+A is regarded as 15...The player's goal is to make the sum of the cards in his hand no more than 21 and be as large as possible.

Since blackjack uses 6 to 8 decks of cards, it is very difficult to win by counting cards, and it is not easy to guess the cards, so it is very difficult to cheat, and you can only win by playing the game.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming had played a game similar to blackjack in the upper area and figured out a game method with a high winning rate, which could guarantee a winning rate of over 60%.

When playing blackjack, the banker's money is the casino's money. Zhou Ming had no psychological pressure. He played blackjack for more than four hours, and the chips in his hand changed from 500,000 to 5 million.

"Sir, the chips you hold meet the qualifications to enter the VIP room. Would you like to go to the VIP room and play with the VIPs?"

A waiter came over with a polite attitude and asked Zhou Ming if he would like to enter the VIP room.

It’s only five million, are you too impatient?

Zhou Ming laughed in his heart and said: "Go, lead the way."

…

In the VIP room on the sixth floor.

Zhou Ming fought fiercely all night with five gamblers who held more than 5 million chips.

As a result, in the stud game, Zhou Ming guessed cards more and more accurately, figured out his opponents more and more clearly, his winning rate became higher and higher, and the chips in front of him became higher and higher. In one night, he won 37 million.

This was a large amount of money, and it also attracted the attention of the casino executives. They felt that his high winning rate was abnormal. However, in the surveillance video, no cheating was found. The explanation of "high gambling skills" was given to him. on hand.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, after resting in the guest room for a few hours, the gambler continued to sweep various gambling tables and made millions the next afternoon.

The casino executives had no choice but to invite him into the VIP room again, and arranged for four gamblers to play with him. They also sent Xu Boyin, the town's gambling sage, to suppress Zhou Ming's luck.

The gameplay is still stud, and Zhou Ming also discovered that Xu Boyin sent by the casino does have two skills. He not only knows some simple card counting and guessing skills, but also can observe the opponent's expressions and micro-movements, see through some crude tricks, and then Coupled with his fairly strong mathematical mind, among the six people at the gambling table, he and Zhou Ming were the ones who won the most money.

But Xu Boyin's three-legged cat skills are not enough in front of Zhou Ming. Not to mention the advanced game skills of psychic deception and psychic clairvoyance (of course, Zhou Ming, whose brain is not sufficiently developed, cannot use them), Zhou Ming is a " "Mind Reading" can completely defeat him, so after they were the only two people left on the gambling table, Zhou Ming won all the more than 20 million chips in front of him in just two hours.

"I...why did I lose every game, dozens of games in a row, and he guessed his trump card? How did he do it? Why can't I see through his mind, but I'm a little afraid of looking into his eyes?"

Xu Baiyin lost and doubted his life. In Austria, he was ranked among the top five new crystal gamblers. His gambling skills were top-notch, he was handsome and popular with women, and he had defeated many gambling masters who came to play.

Today, I was beaten by others.

"Mr. Zhou, you won 85 million at the New Portuguese Crystal Casino. This has reached our maximum allowable limit, so please leave this place immediately, otherwise we will ask the security to ask you out." The gentle casino manager said in a bad tone, behind him I followed a few tall bodyguards.

Zhou Ming pursed his lips. He remembered a news report: There was a coal boss who lost 2.6 billion in this casino. He lost all his family property. In the end, he still owed the casino 300 million. Everyone was detained. In a casino, if you ask your family to use money to redeem someone, are you only allowed to win the gambler's money, but not the gambler to win the casino's money?

Forget it, 85 million, all converted into hundred-yuan notes, can be filled in several sacks. This casino has banned him, so let's go to the next one.

So, in the next three days, Zhou Ming visited many casinos and won a lot.

After playing for one day at the Venice Casino, I won 38 million and was immediately blacklisted from the casino.

In Sands Entertainment City, I played for a long time and won 24 million, but was immediately blacklisted.

Star Galaxy Casino, after playing for a long time, won 12 million, and was permanently banned from entering.

There are also small and medium-sized casinos such as Crown, Oriental, and MGM. Zhou Ming went in and played in each of them for less than three hours before being politely "invited" out. In total, he won less than 8 million.

"We have won a total of over 167 million. Now that we have the starting capital to start a business, we can almost call it a day. Let's go back to Hangzhou tomorrow."

Even if he doesn't want to stop, now he is famous and has become the "God of Gambling" rumored to be the main casino in Austria, the real God of Gambling! All the casinos have put him on the unwelcome list. Of course, there are also several casinos that offer high salaries and invite him to be their guest attendant, but Zhou Ming refuses them all.

Less than 170 million is the upper limit allowed for a city that gathers more than one trillion gambling dollars every year. Zhou Ming is really disappointed. He thought that taking away one billion at a time would not be a big problem.

The harvest did not meet expectations, and it was also related to the strategy he adopted. If he continued to win, he would win two to three million in one day. If he won for several months in a row, no casino would blacklist him. In two days, he won wildly. 85 million is really a bit crazy. It is impossible not to attract attention without any intention of retaining strength.

Of course, Zhou Ming doesn't intend to use gambling as a way to make quick money. It's enough once. When his medical group is established and grows, the annual profits will exceed one billion or ten billion. , 100 billion, 1 trillion, simply look down upon the little money earned from gambling.

"In any world, it is not easy to make money easily, especially the first pot of gold. You can make money by selling gold and gems, but you always need to make up lies and explain them over and over again. It's boring, it's really boring. There are no fools in this world, and money earned out of thin air will always lead to speculation and suspicion."

"It may even become a handle used by the villain to frame the protagonist in some routine novels..."

"Now that I'm making money with my real skills, why don't you just shut up?"

…

On the afternoon of the 20th.

The plane landed slowly, and Zhou Ming, carrying a huge sum of money, returned to Hangzhou.

As soon as I got off the plane, my cell phone rang. Professor Zhao Qiyu called.

"Xiao Zhou, you passed the postgraduate examination. You scored 775 points in eight courses, and each score was above 95. You ranked first among the admitted students. Xiao Zhou, I have taught six graduate students and have always been You are known for having difficult questions, but your score was the most exaggerated in this exam..."

After a few compliments, Professor Zhao reminded: "Xiao Zhou, the admission notice has been sent to you on October 15th. Remember to come to the class on time and don't miss the time."

"I know, thank you, Teacher Zhao."

Zhou Ming nodded and said.
