Although he saw an old acquaintance, Chen Xi did not rush forward to strike up a conversation. Instead, he found a table with few people and sat down.
The dealer didn't know that he was a newly arrived foreign consultant, and dealt cards to the guests as usual.
Not only him, but also the staff of the casino were unaware of those of their own who were hidden in the crowd.
“Last call, Nomorebets!” As the dealer dealt the cards, Chen Xi silently observed the people around him.
He was sitting in the very corner, that is, at the end, next to a fat man.
POLO shirts, leather shoes, and casual pants seemed a little old and stained.
The fat man’s moves are pretty good. At this small table, each hand starts with a bet of 1,000 Australian dollars, and the chips in hand are about 70,000 to 80,000.
Chen Xi just sat there and watched him play silently. The fat man was pretty lucky and won several games in a row. He looked curiously at the young man next to him and asked: "Little brother, why don't you play. Let's press together, and I will make you rich."
"Let me take a look first." Chen Xi smiled slightly.
“What’s the use of looking? How many people have missed the opportunity to make a lot of money just because of looking. Let me tell you, when I was doing business, I met many people who wanted to observe first and then wait until After making money, these people want to get on the bus. Sorry, no chance!" The fat man said his business experience while playing.
Indeed, gambling is just like investing. Sometimes you hesitate, and when you witness the results, you often feel annoyed and regret why you didn't invest money in the first place.
"I have little money and little courage."
"Do you know why the poor are poor?" The fat man asked after hearing what he said.
“Why?”
“It’s because I feel that I have little money in my pocket, I am hesitant to do things, and I have no courage at all. I am afraid that my money will go down the drain and miss a lot. Opportunities to make money, so you will be poor all your life! But I am not saying that you are poor, I am just using an analogy." The fat man waved his hand and explained, for fear that Chen Xi would misunderstand.
In the casino, the emphasis is on being friendly and making money. If you quarrel with someone, it may affect your subsequent gaming experience.
Some guests are very particular about these things and have some superstitious things.
For example, you cannot tap others on the shoulder in the casino, you cannot have sex with a woman before a game, etc.
But what the fat man said was quite reasonable. Chen Xi also felt that the poor were poor for this reason. It seems that Fatty has a certain understanding of business and life philosophy.
“Oh? Brother, what if I invest my money rashly and I have no money to go home?”
"Hey, didn't you listen to what I just said? Just don't worry about these things and just rush forward. If you want to make a fortune, but you still worry about whether you won't have money to go home after a while, then just do it honestly. People's lives are better. Hey, I won again. I asked you to follow, but you didn't." The fat man smiled and held the dealer's compensation chips in front of him, and deliberately showed it in front of Chen Xi.
However, there was no expression of regret or regret on Chen Xi's face, which made Fatty a little confused.
He asked himself that he was usually very accurate in judging people, and he was very decisive in his actions in the business field. He also had a very deep understanding of human nature, but he couldn't understand the young man in front of him.
"I see no change on your face. You must be a very rich man and don't care about the money in front of you."
"Brother is really good at reading people." Chen Xi smiled.
In fact, many people have misunderstandings about gamblers. Many of the guests in the casino are big bosses. They are successful in their own industry. Some feel that there is no challenge anymore, so they come here.
Just like the fat man in front of me, if you don’t see through it, he might be worth a lot of money.
"Let me guess what you do."
"Oh? Then you can guess." The fat man's words made him interested.
“Looking at how young you are, you must be a rich second generation.”
Chen Xi didn't say anything, which was considered acquiescence.
"You don't have an accent. You must have been in Tu'ao for a long time. Other young people all speak with a sense of hometown." This time the fat man guessed correctly again.
“You should have your own business. The average rich second generation comes here. Even if their families are rich, they still have a desire for games. Because they want to make money by themselves to prove themselves to their families, or You say you want to be independent. Games are a way to make money, but you didn't show it. "Oh? Can you guess what business I am in?" Xi couldn't help but take another look at him.
“As for young people, most of them will go into emerging industries. However, there are also many young people in Tu’ao doing real estate in recent years. Well, I think you have worked in real estate and other industries. "The fat man threw the playing cards in his hand to the dealer.
"How can you conclude that I am in real estate?" Chen Xi was even more puzzled. He felt that this fat man must know him.
The fat man chuckled: "At the gambling table, everyone's habits are like a mirror, reflecting their professional background and life habits. When you place the chips, you show a unique regularity and A sense of space, this habit does not happen overnight Cultivate, it reveals your high sensitivity to space layout, value assessment and risk control in your work.
In the real estate field, precise space planning and value maximization are the keys to your success. When playing chips, you can always combine chips of different denominations The chips are arranged in a certain logical order, which not only facilitates quick calculation of the total amount, but also visually forms a clear asset distribution map. This habit coincides with the thinking mode of real estate agents or investors when evaluating properties and planning layouts. .
At the same time, you Occasionally touching the chips reveals a subtle perception of 'material value', which is particularly common in industries that frequently deal with real estate and funds..."
"Brother, you are so powerful. ." Chen Xi expressed his heartfelt praise.
"Little brother, I've made so many guesses, so it's up to you to guess what I do." The fat man reversed his identity.
Now Chen Xi has become a guesser.
"Brother, I guess you have been in the capital market before and are an out-and-out speculator. Later, perhaps because you were tired of the high-risk, high-return life, you Start transforming and use your insight and analytical skills in another field - psychology, or more accurately, behavioral psychology." Chen Xi answered quickly, because just now, the fat man was analyzing him. While doing this, he was also analyzing Fatty.
"Oh? Little brother, your guess is interesting. Please tell me your basis." The fat man was obviously aroused by Chen Xi's inference. He leaned forward, his eyes shining with curiosity and expectation. .
“First of all, let’s start with your behavior at the gambling table.” Chen Xi cleared his throat and began his analysis, “At the gambling table, you showed extremely high risk tolerance and quick decision-making ability. Ability. Whenever you place a bet, whether it is a large amount or a small amount, your actions are extremely effective. This style is very similar to those speculators in the capital market who need to respond quickly to the ever-changing market. They are accustomed to looking for opportunities in high risks and have keen intuition and sensitivity to market fluctuations. Quick response. ”
"Secondly, you showed amazing insight and analytical skills when you analyzed me." Chen Xi continued, "You were able to interpret my working habits in the real estate field from the way I placed my chips. This kind of The ability is not something that ordinary people can possess. It requires you to have a profound background in psychology and a deep understanding of human behavior patterns, and speculation in financial markets often requires trading. Investors have this ability to capture the psychological changes of market participants and make more favorable trading decisions.”
“Furthermore, your words and deeds reveal a calm and unhurried temperament.” Chen. Xi added, "This kind of temperament is unique to those who have experienced the storms of the capital market. They have experienced countless successes and failures, and have become indifferent to the gains and losses of money, and even more It's more about enjoying the fun of gaming in the market. And you are a model of this temperament.
Your insight into human nature is also a major advantage of your experience as a speculator. In , understanding human nature, especially the fear, greed, and blind obedience of market participants, is the key to success. You can apply this ability to your daily life, such as by observing me in the market. Judging from your behavior at the gambling table, you can infer my professional background, which fully shows that you have a profound foundation in this area.
But what I want to say is that you are not a gambler, because gamblers are all. There is no way you can talk to me about these things if you rush to place a bet."
After hearing Chen Xi's analysis, the fat man was stunned for a moment, and then gave Chen Xi a mysterious smile.
This is one of the psychologists in the casino, Chen Xi understands. Looking at the two Asians chatting constantly, the dealer looked a little confused because he couldn't understand anything.
The first floor leads to the outdoor smoking area between the hotels.
"Brother, what do you call me?"
"Single hero."
"There's no one playing at your table, why..." Chen Xi was a little confused. This guy should be here to study the psychology of gamblers. Wouldn't it be better to go to a table with more people?
“Why don’t you come over here?” The fat man smiled and lit a cigarette.
Hearing this, Chen Xi also felt that it made sense.
When ordinary customers see someone winning money continuously, they will definitely join in and want to be happy and make a fortune.
"New here? I've never seen you before." The fat man spit out his breath.
"Well, I just came here today."
"You are so young, recommended by the professor?" The fat man mistook him for a student of a psychology professor.
“Well, how many people like you are there here?”
“I don’t know, we all move around in various entertainment venues, how can we stay in the same place all the time? "
"That makes sense." Chen Xi nodded.
"Brother, have you always worked for the casino or do you have your own business?" Chen Xi asked again.
"This group of people, like me, is currently an idle person."
The fat man did not evade, and said it openly.
After chatting with Shan Xiong for a while, he felt more and more that there was something in this man's stomach.
Suddenly, Chen Xi had an idea in his mind.
Since Crown can bring these elites together and use it to analyze various people.
Why can’t I follow suit?
Directly poach Crown's corner, and then form a special team to study competitors and customers.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not gay." The fat man felt a little frightened when Chen Xi saw him, and he quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.
Back in the entertainment hall, Lao Wang was still having a great time on the stage.
Chen Xi walked over silently and stood behind the crowd to observe.
What made him curious was that the man who originally loved Player of the Year actually changed a game this time and started playing Blackjack.
Generally, people who often play Jiale will not touch other types of games, because in their perception, Jiale is the most suitable game for them to make money. Moreover, they all have a fixed set of calculation patterns in their minds. If they switch to other games rashly, the things in their minds will gradually be forgotten.
However, this is not the key. The key thing was that Chen Xi discovered that Lao Wang had been winning money crazily, and the chips in front of him were piled up like a mountain.
There were also many spectators around the table, and they all cheered and cheered for the guests who won money.
Could it be that Lao Wang is still a blackjack master?
No matter how Chen Xi looks at him, he doesn’t look like him.
This game not only requires sensitivity to mathematics, but more importantly, teamwork. It is difficult to win money when playing with people you don’t know, so most people play at the same table.
However, there were two other players sitting next to Lao Wang.
Gradually, Chen Xi discovered something was wrong. Lao Wang was not very good at playing. Whether he wants a card or not depends on the instructions given by the person next to him, and he will make the choice.
After watching more than a dozen hands of cards, several people won more than they lost. The dealer kept saying congratulations, but he didn't think so in his heart.
In the casinos in Tuao, as long as a table is being used to make crazy money, the dealer will be changed in a short period of time.
The first reason for doing this is to ruin the mood of the guests, the second is to delay the time, and the third reason is that everyone feels that there is luck in their hearts. It has to be said that there are often times when luck conflicts with each other. If the dealer suddenly changes, the person who won money before may continue to lose money.
However, after changing dealers three times in a row, people like Lao Wang are still winning money.
Chen Xi immediately noticed something was wrong. He thought of a movie he had watched about Las Vegas.
A genius from the MIT mathematics department was selected by a professor to join their card counting group. Several people relied on their usual training and teamwork to win a lot of money in the game Black Jack.
This is changed by real cases, and it does exist in reality.
However, the casinos in Tuao will not arrest guests like in the movies, nor will they blacklist guests like Las Vegas. Instead, they use plain clothes to undermine the collaboration of their team.
The most critical position of Black Jack is at the end, because the cards at the end can affect the dealer's cards.
However, the position Lao Wang is sitting at right now is exactly at the end.
Chen Xi also noticed that Zhang Zhuo had already been occupied by the three of them, which meant that no one else could interfere.
“Don’t think about it, they didn’t count the cards. Crown’s Black Jack has two modes of dealing cards. The first one is to randomly select a few poker cards and put them into the dealing box, and then replace them after the round. Cards. The second type is the card dealer, although the card dealer can also roughly calculate The appearance probability of JQK and other numbers, but Crown’s card dealer often has cards. As long as there are cards, the machine must be opened and rearranged. This also leads to the sorting being messed up, so it cannot be calculated at all... "At this time, Shan Xiong suddenly appeared beside him.
Hearing this, Chen Xi suddenly reacted. The plots in the movie I just thought of are all about the card dealing methods in Las Vegas in the early years. Now so many years have passed, the rules of the casino are constantly improving, and the card counting strategies of the players in the movie have become reality in reality. It is completely impossible to exist.
"Then how can these people keep winning money?" Chen Xi was still puzzled.
Since you can’t count cards, how do you do it?
Purely relying on technology? (End of this chapter)
