"Is there a problem?" Susie asked, puzzled.
Zhang Acai said, "The first time I bring guests here, I have to be there to prevent you from causing trouble. Otherwise, I will lose my referral fee and be harassed by the Zhang family. This is mainly because I am afraid that someone will come to the casino to seek revenge or cause trouble."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't cause trouble or seek revenge. We're just here to gamble."
Chapter 148 Gambling Monster
Susie then leaned close to Gu Ran's ear and said softly, "Shall we sneak into the second floor and find the Zhang family?"
Gu Ran shook his head. The Zhang family probably already knew he was coming, and it wouldn't be wise to sneak in rashly.
He wanted to make open and aboveboard contact with the Zhang family to see what they were really up to.
“We’re not trying to infiltrate the Zhang family, we’re trying to understand them,” Gu Ran said to Su Xi. “So, we should first make contact with the Zhang family, build a good relationship with them, and then figure out how to understand them.”
Susie sighed: "But where are we going to find two hundred thousand dollars to gamble? Such a large sum of money for gambling, the executive department won't approve it."
Although Kassel College is wealthy, money doesn't grow on trees, so every expenditure must be clearly defined.
Gu Ran turned her head and asked her in a low voice, "How much of our mission fee do we have left?"
"I have a little over a thousand in cash and ten thousand in my card. I need to submit a report to apply for more."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Give me a thousand US dollars to buy chips, that's enough."
"Huh?" Susie stared at him with her big, round eyes.
Looking at the gambling tables in the casino, Gu Ran said with great pride, "Back in the day, Chen Daozai won 37 million with 20 yuan. I won 200,000 with 1,000 yuan. Is that difficult? Not at all!"
Ignoring Susie's reaction, he directly exchanged for a thousand dollars in chips.
Susie was completely stunned!
Do you think you're the God of Gamblers?
In a daze, she tugged at Gu Ran's shirt and they arrived at the gambling table together.
"Do you gamble?" Susie asked softly as she sat down next to him.
"I still know how to play Sic Bo." They then sat down at the Sic Bo table.
The game of Sic Bo involves playing with three dice in a dice cup and guessing whether the dice will be high or low.
Whether you guess big or small, the odds are always 1 to 1, which is the lowest odds in the game.
However, if you guess the number of points, the odds are much higher. For example, if the number of points is 4, the odds for guessing correctly are 1 to 50.
The highest odds are for the dice game, with odds of 1 to 150.
Gu Ran sat at the gambling table and rolled her eyes at him for a while.
The black dice cup had no hidden mechanisms, and the person shaking the dice was just an ordinary person who didn't tamper with it.
Yes, for casinos, even without any cheating, they will always win because it's a game of probability. As the house, the casino's probability of winning is always over 50%.
The odds of a gambler winning are never more than 50%.
A gambler might win a hand or two occasionally, but in the end, they will definitely lose.
So don't be a gambler; a gambler can never beat the house.
As a new round began, the middle-aged male dealer shook the dice cup, and Gu Ran turned his head to the side, pretending to listen to the numbers on the dice.
"Please begin placing your bets." After shaking the dice cup, the dealer began allowing those around him to place their bets.
Gu Ran easily saw through the numbers on the three dice with a roll of his eyes: five, six, and six.
In terms of size, it's large; in terms of points, it's 17.
The gamblers at the table immediately started placing bets, most of them simply betting on big or small, a few occasionally betting on dice to gamble on luck, but no one betting on points.
Moreover, the bets at this table were mostly in the tens or hundreds of dollars, with only a few betting over a hundred dollars.
Gu Ran smiled slightly and placed his $800 chips on the 17-point board.
He has to guess the numbers, and if he guesses correctly, the odds are 50 to 1.
The dealer glanced at Gu Ran, because very few people would bet such a high stakes right from the start.
The gamblers around Gu Ran, seeing his appearance, assumed he was a newbie who didn't know how to bet.
These gambling dogs are mostly white or Asian; there are very few Siamese faces.
Experienced gamblers know that guessing the numbers is the hardest part, while guessing whether it's big or small is the best way to win.
Therefore, the odds for betting on Sic Bo are also low.
"Place your bets now!" The dealer pressed the bell twice, then opened the dice cup and announced the numbers, "Five, six, six, seventeen points, big!"
"Wow!"
The gamblers at the table gasped in surprise, because only one person at this table had guessed the numbers correctly.
"Odds of 1 to 50! An 800-dollar bet turns into 40,000 dollars in one go?"
Susie, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. If they played a few more rounds like this, wouldn't they easily get 200,000 chips?
She asked Gu Ran in a low voice, "Are you really able to tell anything from it?"
Gu Ran smiled and shook her head: "Luck, it's all luck."
The dealer then handed Gu Ran the chips he had won, while giving him another look.
He shook the dice cup and started the next round.
The gamblers started placing bets one after another, mostly betting on "big" or "small" as before. Gu Ran also pretended to bet $100 on "small".
But after waiting a while, he rushed to place a bet of 2, 2, 1, 5 points at the last moment before the betting closed, betting $40,000.
"Two, two, one, five points, small!" the dealer announced the count loudly.
The people around exclaimed "Wow!" again!
Gu Ran bet on the correct points again, with odds of 1 to 18.
The $40,000 chips suddenly turned into $720,000!
"God, this must be God!" Among the gamblers, a black man exclaimed in English as he looked at Gu Ran.
There were also a few people of Asian descent who looked at Gu Ran with the same expression they would give a god.
Several people even bowed to him.
Gu Ran was completely bewildered.
The dealer in charge of this table saw that Gu Ran placed large bets twice and was able to easily guess the points.
He immediately knew that Gu Ran must be some kind of extraordinary person.
He gave a signal to the assistant next to him, and the guy next to him immediately nodded slightly and left.
Susie looked at the chips in front of her; they already amounted to $720,000. She had only played two hands and had already exceeded the target amount.
It's faster than money blown in by the wind!
"Are you the God of Gamblers?" Susie asked, covering her mouth and laughing.
"Someone like me should be called a gambling freak!" Gu Ran chuckled softly, then noticed that her neckline was a bit low and, worried that she might expose herself, he gently pulled up her collar.
Susie was taken aback at first, then smiled with relief and said, "It's okay, I'm wearing a sports bra underneath."
The junior student is quite considerate.
She leaned closer to Gu Ran's ear and asked, "Now that we have enough money, shall we go upstairs?"
Gu Ran shook her head slightly and said softly, "I think it's better for us to let them come down to us than for us to go up to them."
How can we get them to come down on their own accord?
"Buy the banker's shares!"
Betting on the house to lose money means making the house lose money continuously, and on a large scale.
"Hey, why hasn't the new round started yet?" a gambler asked the dealer.
After Gu Ran's round ended, the dealer kept dawdling and didn't start a new round.
The reason why gamblers are anxious is because they have discovered Gu Ran, this "magic lamp".
As long as you follow his advice, you're guaranteed to win!
Chapter 149 The Magic Lamp
Following the magic lamp's lead is a golden opportunity to get rich, and gambling addicts certainly won't let it pass!
"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and I'm looking for a replacement." The middle-aged male croupier, a Siamese, explained the situation in both Chinese and English.
As for why Thai isn't used, it's because there are few Siamese people in the casino, so there's no need.
Local Siamese people usually gamble at small casinos in remote, desolate areas.
At this casino, the smallest bet is $10, which is unaffordable for most locals.
Because of the exorbitant profits from casinos, the Siamese government has been pushing for the legalization of casinos.
However, Siam is a country with a strong Buddhist faith, and most of its people are Buddhists. Buddhists believe that gambling is against the precepts and is bad.
Therefore, the legalization of casinos has not yet been approved.
At this point, the gamblers kept shouting, wanting the dealer to start a new round of betting.
But the Siamese croupier was just making excuses and didn't actually start.
He also knew that as long as Gu Ran placed a bet, he would definitely win. If other people followed his bet, the casino would lose a lot of money!
So they kept delaying.
A minute later, an elderly man in his seventies with an East Asian appearance, graying temples, and wearing a short-sleeved white shirt appeared at the table, replacing the original Siamese croupier.
After the old man arrived, he first glanced at Gu Ran, then took out the original dice from the dice cup and said to everyone, "Sorry, the dice are broken and need to be replaced."
The old man spoke in Chinese, and an assistant next to him translated his words into English and Thai.
It seems this old man might be Chinese.
