Chapter 19(1/2)
As soon as the dealer finished speaking, the individual customers of the dealer also greeted Lao Hei one after another.
Someone also made room for Lao Hei and asked him to sit down.
Originally, Lao Hei tried to persuade me not to play, but he sat down generously.
He slapped the four hundred yuan in front of the table and said to the dealer:
"Just one handful, four hundred, if I don't turn over, I'll leave if I lose..."
Their game is called "pull 9".
It is a popular game among the people in Northern Harbin.
The rules are very simple, each person is dealt three cards, and after adding them up, the final score is calculated.
A counts as 1 point, 10, J, Q, and K all count as zero points.
Everything else is calculated based on the card points.
9 points is the maximum and the payout is five times. 8 points is three times and 7 points is double.
Below 7 o'clock, everything is doubled.
If the banker and player have the same points, the banker wins.
However, in this case, no matter what the point is, it will be counted as doubled and will not be doubled.
Pull 9 also has a leopard and a straight.
But only Leopard 3 counts as a Leopard, and the compensation will be ten times.
The rest are not considered leopards and are calculated according to normal points.
Straight only counts 2, 3, and 4, because the sum is exactly 9 points, and the payout is eight times.
The rest of the straight numbers will only count points normally.
As for what Lao Hei just said about not doubling, it means that no matter what time he bets the four hundred, even if it is Leopard 3, he will not double it, it will be counted as one time.
Generally speaking, if you can't double it, you have no money. Because once you double and lose, you have no way to compensate the dealer.
This method of playing is simple and crude, and has no technical content, so it is deeply loved by gamblers.
Lao Hei's idea is good.
The first time he was dealt J, 7, A, eight points, and the dealer had five points.
Under normal circumstances, if Lao Hei bets four hundred and doubles eight points, Lao Hei can win eight hundred.
But if he doesn't do what he says, he can only win four hundred.
After playing for a while, Lao Hei's luck with cards was pretty good and he won more than two thousand yuan.
He saw me standing aside, afraid that I would be bored.
He found out a thousand dollars, handed it to me and said:
"This game is pretty good, you can play some too. It's okay. If I lose, it's mine..."
Lao Hei doesn't take money seriously, and he is very generous.
But I shook my head and refused.
I still abide by my rules. In any game, I always look first.
I won't go on stage until I'm sure there's no problem.
I watched this game for a while, and what I can confirm is that the dealer is out of luck.
It's just that the dealer's tactics are rubbish.
His way of making a fortune is just one way.
Bottom buckle.
Just occasionally deal the bottom card.
Maybe he himself knows that his methods are not good enough.
Normally, I don’t dare to post it.
There are two fingers resting on the lower card.
But because I was nervous, I didn't say it.
I was secretly amused.
This method, which is not even considered a three-legged cat, actually dares to use it.
I'm really not afraid of having my hands chopped off after being caught.
In addition to observing the poker table, I also pay attention to the situation around the gambling table.
Although this is not a formal casino, it is just a chess and card room.
But there will also be dark lights coming in and out.
It's just that the place is too big and the dark lights don't seem to be enough.
I've been watching for so long, and only one person with the appearance of a dark light came over.
He only glanced at the card table for a few times and then left again.
However, a young man next to me who was wearing dirty clothes, with messy hair and gray marks on his face caught my attention.
He is not very old and looks about eighteen or nineteen.
The clothes he wore were also fat and big, and there were a few patches.
Looking at this outfit, it's impossible to tell whether he is a boy or a girl.
But I found that his eyes are very beautiful.
Clear and bright.
At first I thought he was a disguised dark light in the venue.
But after watching for a while, I found this young man who looked like a beggar.
The focus is not on the game, only on who wins and who loses.
Whenever he sees someone winning money, he wants to go ahead and get it together.
It seems that he must be a little beggar who wants to make money for his wedding.
Because the method of pulling 9 is to place the bet first.
After three cards are dealt, the player compares points with the banker respectively. There is no process of asking for cards or placing bets.
This also leads to the fact that if the player wants to make a fortune, there is no other good way except hiding the cards and changing them.
Even if you know the cards, it's useless to find another game.
Because the comparison is direct after the hair is done, even if the hair is exposed, the result will be the same.
Hiding cards means leaving stolen goods with you, and there is a risk of being exposed at any time.
If you want to win money, the best way is to be the banker.
In this game, the dealer is not fixed.
Whoever comes up with Leopard 3 or a straight of 234 can grab the banker.
If you don’t have enough money and don’t want to be a banker, you can sell the banker for a few hundred yuan.
While I was watching, Lao Hei lost all his money.
You can tell that he still wants to play.
Sitting there, I felt a little reluctant to get up.
I took out two thousand yuan, threw it in front of Lao Hei's table, and said:
"You can play with it first..."
Lao Hei looked at me gratefully.
The dealer saw that I had a good relationship with Lao Hei, so he took the initiative to invite me and said:
"Come on, brother, you can open one too..."
I wanted to do it too, but he just opened his mouth.
I took the opportunity to find a seat and sat down.
The minimum bet in this round is one hundred, and the maximum bet is one thousand.
I only have one hundred and two hundred, and I can bet casually.
Don't care about winning or losing, just wait for the opportunity to be the banker slowly.
Maybe I'm just too unlucky.
After playing for more than an hour, Leopard 3 and Shunzi didn't even come.
