Chapter 1252 Diviner

“Don’t need assistance? Are you going to practice the skills of the big players alone?” Taylor laughed, “I think it is better to work with the assistance. You can practice the skills of the big players and you can also practice cooperation.”

“No,” Xiao Yao shook his head, “I said, like the day before yesterday, when the dealer cuts cards and adds cards temporarily, don’t assist one person to play!”

“The dealer cuts and adds cards?” Everyone looked at Xiao Yao unexpectedly.

“Young, in that situation, one person can’t handle it.” Sandra said, “It was proved the day before yesterday.”

“I couldn’t handle it the day before yesterday, doesn’t mean I still can’t handle it today!” Xiao Yao said, “I want to try it!”

“Are you going to do the work of three people alone?” Yu Gang said, “You don’t really want to go to Vegas alone, do you?”

On the day    came, Yu Gang once told Xiao Yao that one person can count cards. Is Yu Gang lying to Xiao Yao by saying that? Neither counts nor counts.

After teaching Xiao Yao the skills of the big players, Xiao Yao and the people from the card counting team tried it once. Xiao Yao can handle it alone. But then, the card counting team directly asked Xiao Yao to give up surrender. The key lies in the dealer’s cut and temporary addition of cards.

The banker at the blackjack table in the casino is held by the croupier of the casino, and not necessarily every hand will cut cards or temporarily add cards. In the absence of cutting cards and adding cards, support only improves the efficiency of the entire team. Even if there is no auxiliary card counter, the big players can deal with it alone, but the speed and efficiency of winning money are slower. It is indeed possible that the croupier cuts and adds cards. In that case, the auxiliary card counter is not only to help the big players choose the table, notify them to play, but also need to help in the subsequent games. The big players do some auxiliary calculations, which cannot be done by a single individual.

“Why not?” Xiao Yao shrugged, “If I can win without assisting the card counter, then I can go to Vegas by myself. To be honest, I don’t want to wait for you to give me the assisting counter. Brand man.”

Since learning that Yan Ke and others were blacklisted by the casino and would not go to the casino with him, Xiao Yao planned to go to the casino alone.

After learning how to play with big players, Xiao Yao performed very well in the test. At that time, he was ready to set off for Vegas the next day, but immediately after that, Xiao Yao was given the shameless means of adding cards by Tyler Nach, who was the banker at the time. Stumped. However, Yan Ke said that there is indeed such a practice in casinos. Xiao Yao couldn’t refute it. He only thought that he hadn’t learned all the card counting methods, so they deliberately teased himself.

What Xiao Yao did not expect was that it was not that they kept a hand deliberately, but that it needed the help and cooperation of others to cope with this situation. At this time, Xiao Yao didn’t want to investigate Yu just cheating on his way here, but wanted to understand how the team cooperated and whether it was possible to take care of the work of two or three people by himself. After all, Xiao Yao is a person who can do two things with one mind or even multi-purpose. Others must cooperate with many people, and he may not be unable to take care of both.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Yao was so active on the first day, and even wanted to learn to assist the card counter in the evening. However, although Xiao Yao was very anxious, he didn’t want to show it on the face, so when everyone said that it was too late and the evening did not continue, Xiao Yao did not object.

After a night, Xiao Yao started to think about this issue the next day after learning how to assist the card counter with the people in the card counting team.

Counting cards is mental work. Whether it is a big player or an auxiliary card counter, the cards they see are the same, but the calculations in their hearts are different. Others may only consider one problem at a time, but Xiao Yao has a good mind. It is not impossible to play two or three musical instruments at different rhythms at the same time, and it is not impossible to consider or calculate two or three problems at the same time.

Of course, card counting requires more brainpower than playing an instrument. At the same time, considering two or three problems in calculation, Xiao Yao has never done it before. How to proceed and how to do it also requires careful research.

Last night, Xiao Yao did not participate in the evening activities. After dinner, he returned to the hotel room to study how to be both a big player and an auxiliary card counter at the same time. In one night, Xiao Yao indeed figured out a way.

Xiao Yao bought a few sets of cards last night and tried them in the hotel room. It seemed feasible. If you were selfish, Xiao Yao might set off directly to Boston that night or early the next morning, and then took the earliest flight to the west. But after all, the card counting team had taught him for two days. Xiao Yao felt that he had to explain it in person. It’s better to say goodbye. In this way, the card counting group will definitely test him, and Xiao Yao also wants to let them test it again, so today he came to the card counting group’s activity room with Yan Ke.

“Don’t assist the card counter?” The people in the card counting team showed incredible expressions.

Facts speak louder than words. Xiao Yao said so, the people in the card counting group stopped talking nonsense with Xiao Yao, and directly took out poker and chips and other tools to gamble with Xiao Yao. Of course, in this process, it is natural to cut cards in advance and temporarily add new cards.

An hour later, Xiao Yao piled up a pile of chips in front of him.

“Young, how did you do it?” Sandra asked with some excitement, “Did you think of other card counting methods?”

Although the card counting team has been blacklisted by the casino, the card counting group has not been disbanded. They also plan to continue to recruit other members and guide new members to go to Vegas.

Cutting cards in advance and adding cards temporarily is not a normal situation, but the people in their card counting group are all academic. Those who study mathematics are not about luck, but probability, so they can’t cope with the situation of early cutting cards and temporary adding cards. , Will not let people go to the casino rashly. If Xiao Yao can really improve the card counting method and can deal with this situation alone, then they won’t have to act in groups in the future.

You should know that they are not recruiting casually. After recruiting one new person for training, you can go to the casino. Naturally, the cycle required to go to the casino after the training of three new people is much shorter and easier.

Xiao Yao’s card counting technique was taught by the people in the card counting team, and he didn’t hide himself from them, so he explained his own method at the moment.

“It seems that when we recruit new people in the future, we have to find someone like Yang with particularly strong mental arithmetic ability.” After listening to Xiao Yao’s explanation, Sandra said with a little discouragement.

Actually, Xiao Yao doesn’t have any new algorithms. The basis is the algorithms that their card counting team taught Xiao Yao in the past two days. They just calculated two or three different card counting methods in a short period of time. In the middle of this, of course there are also some tricks on how to avoid interference between each other. However, the core of Xiao Yao’s ability to do this is his extremely powerful mental arithmetic ability. The mental arithmetic abilities of the people in the card counting group are also good, but no one can reach the level that Xiao Yao said, so Xiao Yao’s method is only feasible for them, but it cannot be used.

“Forget it,” Yan Ke shook his head next to him, “It’s difficult for a guy like Yang to find a second one! I think we should continue the group action according to the original plan!”

Is there a second person in the world like yourself? Xiao Yao didn’t know either.

Xiao Yao did not answer Yan Ke’s words, stood up and said to everyone: “I plan to leave Cambridge today. If it goes well, I may be able to fly from Boston to LV today. Thank you very much for your care over the past two days!”

“Leave today?” Taylor asked somewhat unexpectedly, “So anxious?”

“Are you really just here to learn how to count cards?” Yan Ke smiled, “Too unsympathetic to us, right? Throw it away when you use it up?”

“How do you say this?” Xiao Yao smiled. “Taylor and the others said it was okay. What qualifications do you three have to say?” Xiao Yao promised to consider investing in their business plan.

“Taylor,” Xiao Yao looked at Taylor and the others, “I am from China and I am far from the United States. I am not likely to come often. I am an artist and a well-known artist. I have a lot of work and limited vacation time. Go to LV as soon as possible. , To be able to play in LV for a few more days.”

“Understood!” Taylor smiled and nodded, “You have only one person. You don’t need to sign your partner. The chance of the casino finding that you count cards is much smaller than that of us, or it will take a lot longer. Maybe the casino doesn’t have it yet. If you have time to find out that you have counted cards and put you on the blacklist, you will have ended your vacation and won a lot of money back to China!”

“I hope so!” Xiao Yao smiled, “You have a chance to go to China in the future, remember to find me, and I will entertain you!”

“Ha!” Taylor smiled and hugged Xiao Yao, “I will!”

After embracing and bidding farewell to the four people including Taylor, Xiao Yao said to the three Yan Ke: “I will not go to Macheng, when you return home in the future, we have the opportunity to go to Macheng together!”

China’s Macheng is a special zone, and the casinos there are also legal. Although Vegas casinos blacklisted Yan and Ke, but the United States and China are so far apart, the casinos in Macheng probably have not blacklisted Yan and Ke.

“Interesting!” Yan Ke smiled and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder, and hugged Xiao Yao.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone to book a ticket. When booking air tickets temporarily, the earliest air ticket Xiao Yao could book was also in the evening. Xiao Yao stayed with the people from the card counting team for a while, had a parting lunch together, then returned to the hotel to pack up and check out, ready to go to Boston.

Returning to Boston this time, Xiao Yao did not let Yan Ke drive him again, and asked the hotel to call a car to take him to Boston’s Logan Airport.

The flight booked by Xiao Yao was at 6:30 in the evening, and it was only around 3 in the afternoon when it arrived at Luogan Airport, and it was three and a half hours before the plane took off. It was a long time, but it was not worth looking for another hotel to rest. Xiao Yao went to a coffee shop in the airport to kill time.

The coffee shop in the airport is mainly for people waiting to board or pick up the plane to rest. There are not too many people at this time. After Xiao Yao entered, he sat down in a corner that was not very conspicuous.

After ordering a cup of coffee, Xiao Yao first took out his mobile phone to book a hotel in Vegas, and then put the mobile phone away.

When Xiao Yao came to the United States, all domestic work matters were put down. It is still early to board the plane. Generally, Xiao Yao spends his time playing mobile games at this time, but this time he came to Cambridge to learn card counting, and he carried the poker cards he bought last night to study single-player card counting in the hotel room. Xiao Yao So he took out his playing cards and played in the cafe.

Xiao Yao was sitting in a two-person seat. The coffee table in front of him was not big. In addition to the people coming and going in the coffee shop, it was inconvenient to take several pairs to practice blackjack card counting. Xiao Yao just planned to use this time Exercise your memory again.

The way Xiao Yao exercises his memory is also very simple. Disassemble a pair of poker cards, first open it in a fan shape, look at it for a period of time, close the cards, and then open them one by one on the table. Of course, before turning over, Xiao Yao meditated in his heart the number and suit of the top card on the deck, and then turned it over to see if it was right.

“Hi, hello!” Xiao Yao was playing, suddenly felt the light in front of him dim, and then a voice came to his ears.

Xiao Yao looked up and found a blonde woman wearing sunglasses standing in front of him, with a large suitcase on his right hand.

“Excuse me, is there anyone here?” The blonde woman asked when Xiao Yao raised her head and pointed her finger at the chair in front of her.

The position where Xiao Yao sits is two people. The blond woman refers to the position opposite Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao came, there was no one there, and there was nothing beside it. There should be an empty seat, so Xiao Yao shook his head.

“Thank you!” The blonde woman smiled and sat down, putting the suitcase next to her.

The blond woman sat down and beckoned to the waiter to order a cup of coffee. After the waiter left, the blond woman looked at Xiao Yao curiously and asked, “What are you playing?”

Xiao Yao just turned the poker cards in his hand outwards and placed them on the table in front of him. On the surface, they looked different from all poker playing methods, so the blonde woman would inevitably be curious.

“I can’t say that I am recording cards and training my memory, right?” Xiao Yao thought for a while, smiled and replied, “Divination!”

“Really?” The blonde woman seemed to be more interested, leaning forward, leaning towards Xiao Yao, and asking, “Are you a fortuneteller? What are you doing fortune telling? Can you help others?”

“No!” Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Oh,” the blonde woman said disappointedly, and then asked again, “Where is divination? It looks like you are Asian? China? Japan? Thailand? I heard that Thai witchcraft is very powerful? ”

“No, I am from Huaxia!” Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly.

“So this is Huaxia’s divination?” The blonde woman said, “Why can’t you tell others?”

“No, this is Gypsy’s divination,” Xiao Yao thought quickly in his mind, and said, “I just learned to learn from a friend for a while, and I am not very proficient, so I dare not divination to others casually!”
