Chapter 131 Xiu Na Gambling Chapter: Invitation to Bet
Shuner followed Hawk into the VIP room, which is still the table where Hawke beat the rich people just now, but now Hawke's opponent has changed to Shona with little money.
Shuna sat opposite Hawke tremblingly and didn't know what to do. He could only look at Hawke in silence.
Hawke gestured to his men, and several of his men behind him, each holding a large board with a lot of golden chips on it. Shuna won this kind of chip at the end of betting on the four, so he knew that one of these chips represented a gold coin.
Shona was stunned, because with his eyesight, he could not calculate how many such chips there were for a while, and it was roughly estimated that there would be thousands of chips.
Those men put their chips on the gambling table and put 100 of them in front of Shuna. Shuna has never seen so many "gold coins" and placed in front of him at such a close distance, but now Shuna is far more shocking than happy.
Hawk pointed to the chips in front of Shana and said, "Here are 100 chips for you."
Shu Na: "This... How can this work? I don't have that much money." Xiu Na just knew that these chips need to be exchanged for money, and in the same way, they can also be exchanged for money.
Hock: "I know you didn't bet, so this is what I gave you as a thank you for your promise to be my opponent. However, you should also understand that not all of these 100 chips are given to you, because there is no cost of gambling, which can not stimulate people's real fighting spirit at all. Acquisition will inevitably be accompanied by loss, which is the principle of fairness in the world.
Shu Na: "Ah... what does this mean?"
Hock: "Half of these 100 chips are for you and half are for you."
After that, Hawke grabbed thousands of gold coins and chips on the big board and put them on the gambling table. At least there were nearly 100.
Hock: "And as you can see, this is my gambling capital, and I will have more. I will never complain about how much you can win, because it depends on your own ability. However, if you want to choose to leave, you must return the 50 chips lent to you.
This strange rule made Shuna not very clear, because he just wanted to leave here quickly. He just looked at the countless hostile eyes behind Hawke. Shuna knew that it was impossible to let him leave without gambling a few games with Hawk. His only idea was that he had no intention to fight. As long as he loses the 50 chips sent to him, so that the other party can not only give his subordinates, but also the two sides have no loss. After that, the other party should let him go.
Hock brought a pair of poker cards, and it seems that this is the gambling tool. Then, a formal middle-aged man walked between the two, picked up the poker cards, and shuffled the cards in a very skillful way. The movements were clean and fast, which showed that the man was very good at this matter.
Hock: "Let me introduce you. This is our most famous licensee in the south, the resident licensee who gambles in our VIP room here. He is selfless and absolutely fair. You can rest assured to gamble on this point."
Shuna looked at the licensee carefully, with a serious expression and a serious expression, as if he was really a very upright person.
Indeed, as Hawke said, the agent did not reach any agreement with Hawke, and it was just a fair deal. In the casino, those rich people don't say that they have a lot of money and no place to spend it. Everyone who comes here has only one purpose, that is, to win money. Because of the particularity of the casino, once gambling is involved, no one will question the trust of the other party, so the golden signboard gambling in Hawke's VIP room is exactly this. He is a selfless licensee, and his reputation reassures those rich people.
Hook: "I know you don't know anything about all kinds of gambling, so I won't choose too complicated gambling methods to compete with you, but I don't disdain those gambling that rely on luck alone and don't fight with each other. Therefore, we still play a simple and easy-to-understand 'nine points' as a bet to win or lose.
Shu Na: "Ah?' Nine o'clock, right?
Hawk explained the "nine-point" gambling method to Shuna, and then gave Shuna several opportunities to practice. Shuna was actually a smart child, but he was too unconfident in his personality. After a few rounds, Shuna basically mastered the "nine-point" gambling method.
The gambling method of "nine points":
1. With poker as a gambling tool, each person first issues two cards, one opens one cover, and the card face is only counted regardless of color, and the number 1 to 9 cards each represents its own number, 10, J, Q, K is 0;
2. When the number of cards held by both parties is added, the number of cards is taken as the number of points, and the largest number of points is to win, that is to say, the 9 points with the largest number of digits is the largest number of points;
3. Both sides take turns to bet in the first round according to the two cards in the first place. If the other party does not follow the bet, they will admit defeat. After the other party follows the bet, both sides can decide whether to compete directly;
4. If you don't want to win or lose directly, you can choose to add cards and rotate, up to five cards, and each card should be pasted with the chips bet on the first bet.
5. At the end of the card addition, the second bet will be made, which is proposed by the other party. You can bet or not. If you bet, if you do not follow the bet, you will be determined to admit defeat. After the other side follows the bet, the two sides will directly compete;
6. If the number of cards is the same, the one with fewer cards wins.
The rules are certainly not complicated, but if you think about this "nine points" very simple, you will suffer a lot.
In this way, the gambling officially began. Shona looked at the chips that were forcibly stuffed with 100 gold coins in front of him. Although the chips themselves were very light, they felt extremely heavy in Shona's hands, who came from poor people.
At the beginning of the first game, both sides bet a chip as a bet, which is a necessary bet for the victory or defeat, in order to worry that the other party has been giving up and cannot continue.
The agent took a new poker card from the side, opened it, and then shuffled the cards in a neat way. After spreading the cards on the gambling table with his hand, it showed a fan-shaped arrangement, which was very beautiful. At the beginning of each game, a new set of poker cards are used in this VIP room, in order to be afraid that someone will make small actions such as marks on the used playing cards. This is necessary to show fairness.
After that, the licenseeer began to issue cards, giving two people two cards alternately, opening one by one. Xiu Na got the open card 7 and the bottom card A, which is 8 points in total. It is a very good card and can only lose to 9 points. This can only be said that Xiu Na is really lucky at today's start. The other party is a clear card 2.
For ordinary gamblers, this card number of cards is undoubtedly a good chance of winning, and they often place heavy bets. However, Xiu Na, who had no speculative psychology of gamblers, just threw a chip in meaning. Hawke's gambling was strong, so he naturally didn't care and directly lost a chip to bet.
However, Hawke did not directly compete, but spent another chip, asked for a card, and then signaled to open the card.
The two sides opened the cards. Hawke's cards are 2, 8 and 8, and the total is 8 points. However, because Shona holds fewer cards than Hawk, it is judged that Shona to win. In the first game, Xiuna got a total of three chips from Hawke's bottom bet, one follow-up bet and one card.
Xiuna, who easily got a good start, did not show happiness. For him, winning was not his intention.
After that, no matter what kind of card he holds, he still bet on a chip. This gambling method lasted for several rounds. Although he had lost, overall, he won more and lost less. Unconsciously, his chips in front of him began to slowly accumulate higher.
Only when he saw this scene did he realize that he was winning and had won a lot. Of course, this many concepts are just to cultivate what you think. In fact, you have only won more than 50 chips. For a big banker like Hawke, it's just a dime.
Shuna thought it was just a little luck at present, but he didn't expect that this was Hawke's intention. Because of this "nine-point" gambling method, if you want to win, you have to have a card test with the other party, but if you want to lose, you have to lose more points, which is very simple.
Because all gamblers, as long as he begins to think that money is so easy to get, it is not so easy to get rid of it, because human greedy desire can bind people's hearts more tightly than any chains, and finally be pulled into the bottomless swamp and degenerate.
However, for Shuna, whose personality is desireless, this fatal temptation for ordinary gamblers is not applicable, but it is not completely ineffective. Looking at the pile of chips in front of him, his thoughts began to change.
Shona recalls that he followed Elvin to this Hailan city this time. Isn't his original purpose to raise funds? Moreover, he has heard from Miss Leona that his "father" has been worried about money, so that he is too tired to be sick.
What is in front of Xiu Na now is a huge sum of money that surprised him himself (in fact, for Xiu Na, he did not imagine how amazing the cost of conducting a war would be). Originally, he simply had the idea of getting more money for the first time, but the starting point was not for himself. I, but for my partners, and... my father.
In the new game, Shona looked at the open card 5 and bottom card 3 in his hand. This time, he was lucky again. After all, he played so many games. Naturally, he was very clear about this card. Two cards have 8 points, and the winning is quite big. So this time, Shuna's first Three chips were downloaded next.
This change naturally attracted Hawke's attention and made him secretly happy. After all, this gambling game was started by his tough invitation. For opponents who have no will to fight, Hawke is also difficult to raise his spirit and compete seriously. Now, Hawke finally saw that the other party finally had the idea of winning, and Hawke's spirit recovered.
The weak war finally ignited by Sionah, and the experienced Hawke will not extinguish it immediately. He has always wanted to draw out the real strength of Sioner's hidden eyes.
After so many games of observation, it is naturally not difficult for Hawke to guess that the unscheming Shuna was holding a big card in his hand, so he repeated the old technique, added two cards, and finally deliberately lost to Shuana with a 7 o'clock card.
Seeing that he had won so many chips for the first time (one bet, three bets, six that the other party added twice, a total of ten chips), a happy joy surged into his heart, and Hawk, as the losing party, saw Shuna's psychology and was also very satisfied with it.
So this "happy" situation of both sides lasted for several games. Shuna's chips have changed from the original 100 to 250 today. Hawke also gradually increased the difficulty, and Shuna also began to think seriously to calculate the winning rate of the card and win the victory with his heart.
In fact, because of his too modest personality, he usually looks inconspicuous and easy to ignore. He is not as good as Brother Elvin and others. When he encounters danger and difficulties, he can rush to the front without fear, and he has no independent opinion, nor He can help everyone make suggestions like the Sith, and he mostly acts as the object of protection in the rear.
For this reason, he has always been worried and ashamed that he has done nothing. Now, without the protection of everyone, he will face a major test alone today, or it is a trial. Yes, is this the test that Xingzhi said to Shuna?
Shuna knew that Elvin and others had qualified to become heroes of the stars through the test of the stars. Now he is facing this test, for everyone and for the sake of his father, now he finally feels that he can do something, and things are going smoothly.
