Entertaining Children

"No support? Do you want to practice the skills of big players alone?" Taylor said with a smile, "I think it is better to work with support. You can practice the skills of big players and also practice coordination. ??????? ??a`”

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "What I said was 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 in surprise.

"Jan, in that situation, one person cannot handle it." Sandra said, "It was proved the day before yesterday."

"I couldn't handle it the day before yesterday, but it doesn't mean I still can't handle it today!" Xiao Yao said, "I want to try!"

"You want one person to do the work of three people at the same time?" Yu Gang said, "You don't really want to go to Vegas alone, do you?"

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

After teaching Xiao Yao the skills of big players, Xiao Yao and the card counting team tried it once, and Xiao Yao could handle it alone. But immediately after, the card counting team directly asked Xiao Yao to give up and admit defeat. The key lies in the dealer's cutting and temporary addition of cards.

The banker on the blackjack table in the casino is acted by the dealer of the casino, and the cards may not be cut or added temporarily in every hand. In the absence of cutting cards and adding cards, support only improves the efficiency of the entire team. Even without an auxiliary card counter, a big player can handle it alone, but the speed and efficiency of winning money are slower. It is indeed possible for the dealer to cut cards and add cards. In that case, the assistant card counter not only helps the big player choose a table and informs him to play, but also needs to help the big player in the subsequent game. It is impossible for a big player to perform some auxiliary calculations alone.

"Why not?" Xiao Yao shrugged, "If I can win without an assistant card counter, then I can go to Vegas by myself. To be honest, I don't want to wait for you to give me an assistant card counter." card people."

Ever since he knew 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 by himself.

After learning how to play big players, Xiao Yao performed very well in the test. At that time, he was ready to leave for Vegas the next day. stumped. However, Yan Ke said that there is indeed such a practice in the casino, and Xiao Yao can't refute it. He just thinks that he hasn't learned all the card counting methods, and they deliberately teased himself.

What Xiao Yao didn't expect was that it wasn't that they deliberately kept a hand, but that coping with this situation required the help and cooperation of others. At this time, Xiao Yao was not in the mood to find out that Yu Gang lied to himself on the way here, but wanted to know how the teamwork was played, and whether it was possible for him to take care of the work of two or three people at the same time. After all, Xiao Yao is a person who can double-task or even multi-task. Others must cooperate with many people, so he may not be able 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 how to assist the card counter at night. However, although Xiao Yao was very anxious in his heart, he didn't want to show it on the surface, so when everyone said that it was too late and the night would not continue, Xiao Yao did not object.

After finally surviving the night, Xiao Yao started to think about this issue after learning how to assist the card counters from the card counting team the next day.

Card counting 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 minds are different. Others may only be able to think about one problem at a time, but Xiao Yao has a good brain and can play two or three instruments at different rhythms at the same time. It is not impossible to think or calculate two or three problems at the same time.

Of course, card counting requires more brain power than playing a musical instrument, and considering two or three problems at the same time is something Xiao Yao has never done before.

How to proceed and how to do it also requires thoughtful research.

Xiao Yao didn't participate in the evening activities last night, and went back to the hotel room after dinner to study how to be a big player and an auxiliary card counter at the same time. In one night, Xiao Yao did come up with a solution.

Xiao Yao bought a few decks of cards last night and tried it out in the hotel room, and it seemed to work. If he had been more selfish, Xiao Yao might have set off for Boston that night or early the next morning, and then took the earliest flight to the west. After all, the card counting team had taught him for two days, and Xiao Yao felt that it was better to explain in person. Goodbye is better. In this way, the card counting team will definitely test him, and Xiao Yao also wants to let them test it again, so he came to the activity room of the card counting team with Yan Ke today.

"Don't you want to assist the card counter?" Everyone in the card counting team showed expressions of disbelief.

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

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

"Yan, how did you do it?" Sandra asked excitedly, "Did you come up with other card counting methods?"

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

Cutting cards in advance and adding cards in advance is not a routine situation, but the people in their card counting team are all academics. They are not talking about luck, but probability, so they cannot cope with the situation of cutting cards in advance and adding cards temporarily , will not let people go to the casino rashly. If Xiao Yao can really improve the card counting method so that he can deal with this situation alone, then they don't have to act in groups in the future.

You know, their card counting team recruits people not just randomly. It is naturally much shorter and easier to go to the casino after recruiting one newcomer for training than to get three newcomers to go to the casino after training.

Xiao Yao's card counting skills were taught by the members of the card counting team, and he didn't hide his secrets from them, so he immediately revealed his method.

"It seems that when we recruit new recruits in the future, we have to find someone like Yang who has a particularly strong mental arithmetic ability." After listening to Xiao Yao's explanation, Sandra said a little discouraged.

In fact, 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 calculate the card counting methods of two or three different positions in a short period of time. In the middle, of course, there are some tricks of counting first and then which, and how to avoid mutual interference in the middle. However, the core of Xiao Yao's ability to do this is his extremely powerful mental arithmetic ability. The people in the card counting team are also good at mental arithmetic, 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 beside him, "It's hard to find another guy like Yang! I think we should follow the original plan and continue the group action!"

Is there another person like me in this world? Xiao Yao didn't know either.

Xiao Yao didn't 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 these two days!"

"Leave today?" Taylor said in surprise, "In such a hurry?"

"Are you really just here to learn card counting?" Yan Ke said with a smile, "Isn't it too heartless for us? Just throw it away when you're done using it?"

"How do you say that?" Xiao Yao laughed, "It's okay for Taylor and the others to say that, what qualifications do you three have to say that?" Xiao Yao promised that he would consider investing in their business plan.

"Taylor," Xiao Yao looked at Taylor and the others and said, "I'm from China, and I'm far away from the United States. I'm unlikely to come here often. I'm an artist, and I'm a famous artist. I have a lot of work and limited vacation time. Go to lv as soon as possible. , in order to be able to play in lv for a few more days."

"Understood!" Taylor nodded with a smile, "You are only one person, and you don't need to sign with your companions. The chances of the casino finding out about your card counting are much smaller than that of us, or it will take a lot longer. Maybe the casino hasn't If you find out that you are counting cards in time and put you on the blacklist, you will have finished your vacation and won a lot of money to go back to Huaxia!"

"I hope so!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "If you have the opportunity to go to Huaxia in the future, remember to find me, and I will entertain you!"

"Ha!" Taylor smiled and hugged Xiao Yao, "I will!"

After hugging and saying goodbye to Taylor and the other four, Xiao Yao said to Yan Ke and the others: "I won't go to Macheng, when you return to China in the future, we will go to Macheng together if we have the opportunity!"

China's Macheng is a special zone, and the casinos there are also legal. Although the Vegas casino blacklisted the three of Yan Ke, but the distance between the United States and China is so far, the casino in Macheng should not have blacklisted the three of Yan Ke.

"Enough!" Yan Ke smiled and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder, and then 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 tickets that Xiao Yao can book are also in the evening. Xiao Yao stayed with the card counting team for a while, had a farewell lunch together, and then returned to the hotel to pack his luggage and check out, ready to go to Boston.

This time when he returned to Boston, Xiao Yao didn't ask Yan Ke to drive him, but asked the hotel to call a car to take him to Boston's Logan Airport.

The flight Xiao Yao booked was at 6:30 in the evening, and it was only around 3:00 in the afternoon when he arrived at Logan Airport, three and a half hours before the plane took off. It took a long time, but it was not worth looking for a hotel to rest, so Xiao Yao went to a coffee shop at the airport to kill time.

The coffee shop at the airport is mainly for people waiting to board or pick up the plane to take a break. There are not too many people at this time. After Xiao Yao went in, he found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

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

When Xiao Yao came to the United States, he put down all domestic work matters. It's still early to board the plane. Usually at such times, Xiao Yao would play mobile games to pass the time, but this time he came to Cambridge to learn card counting, and in his bag was the poker cards he bought last night to study card counting by himself in the hotel room, Xiao Yao He took out his poker cards and played in the coffee shop.

Xiao Yao sat in a two-seat table, and the coffee table in front of him was not big. In addition, there were many people coming and going in the cafe. Exercise your memory again.

Xiao Yao's method of exercising memory is also very simple. Take a deck of poker apart, first fan it out, watch it for a while, close the cards, and then open them one by one on the table. Of course, before turning over, Xiao Yao silently recited the rank and suit of the top card in his hand, and then turned it over to see if it was correct.

"Hi, hello!" Xiao Yao was playing, when suddenly the light in front of him dimmed, and then a voice came to his ears.

Xiao Yao looked up and found a blond woman wearing sunglasses standing in front of her, holding a large suitcase in her right hand.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?" Seeing Xiao Yao looking up, the blond woman asked while pointing to the chair in front of her.

Xiao Yao is sitting for two people, and the blonde woman refers to the seat opposite Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao came, there was no one there, and there was nothing beside him. It should be an empty seat, so Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Thank you!" The blond woman smiled and sat down, putting the suitcase beside her.

After sitting down, the blond woman beckoned 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 out one by one and placed them on the table in front of him. On the surface, it looked different from all poker games, so the blonde woman would inevitably be curious when she saw it.

"You can't say that you are memorizing cards and training your memory, right?" Xiao Yao thought for a while and replied with a smile, "Divination!"

"Really?" The blond woman seemed to be more interested. She leaned forward, moved closer to Xiao Yao, and asked, "Are you a fortune teller? What are you divination? Can you help others?"

"No!" Xiao Yao smiled wryly in his heart and shook his head.

"Oh," the blond woman said in disappointment, and then asked again, "Where is this divination? From your appearance, you seem to be of Asian descent? Chinese? Japanese? Thai? I heard that the witchcraft in Thailand is very powerful? "

"No, I'm from Huaxia!" Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly.

"So this is Huaxia's divination?" The blond woman said, "Why can't you divination for others?"

"No, this is the divination of gypsies," Xiao Yao thought quickly in his mind, and said, "I just learned it from a friend, and I'm not very proficient, so I don't dare to divination for others casually!"
