Chapter 540: Young Master Li’s About to Puke Out Blood
Yan Jingfan was infuriated from embarra.s.sment and said, “You want to gamble, right?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “But I think you should check the equipment and props here in advance. I just don’t want you to find more excuses later.”
Yan Jingfan really started checking out the playing cards, dice, the table, and so on to see if there were any cheating devices.
But, this act of his was basically the same as putting himself on the idiot ranking, because he also insulted the professionalism of all the staff members present.
No man with a brain would do this kind of thing here, because the purpose of this establishment was to provide a place for the club members to have fun. The casino itself generated no profit, and the house would only take the servicing tips from guests to distribute to the casino and cruise staff.
Under such circ.u.mstances, who in the right mind would think that the house had implemented some cheating gadgets inside the props?
Young Master Lee pulled on his friend’s sleeve and signaled for him to just stop, or he might become the idiot in other peoples’ eyes without even realizing it.
Xu Cheng directly said to Yan Jingfan, “Actually, just bring a deck of the Bang Nation cards over to play, I don’t mind.”
The people spectating all laughed.
Yan Jingfan now knew that he had been insulted, but he resisted the urge to express his anger. He secretly swore that he would win every single cent from this Huaxia guy as retribution for mocking him.
Xu Cheng picked up a dice roller and played around with it as he asked Yan Jingfan, “I heard you gambling experts are all really skilled in terms of listening, judgment, and calculation abilities. I even heard that the top tier ones can even predict and see through the dice rollers or face-down cards.”
“That would be your stupid imagination. No one can see through the props, unless they are cheating and using some gadget to help.” Yan Jingfan glanced at Xu Cheng like he was looking at a peasant and said, “But, the first three skills you mentioned are indeed necessary basic skills for a professional gambler.”
“Very good,” Xu Cheng said. Then, he casually shook the dice roller and said, “Then us two take turns rolling two dices, big or small, or middle. You win or lose however much you put down, and if you guess the middle number, the amount triples. Down to play that?”
Yan Jingfan was delighted. “You want to play this with me? Am I hearing it wrong?”
“Nope, I’m just playing this with you. How about I go first?” Xu Cheng said, “And after you are done, you put it onto the table and aren’t allowed to touch it. That’s the rule. How is that?”
“Of course, once the person puts down a bet, no one can touch the dice again.” Yan Jingfan said, “Just how much do you doubt my gambling skills? You can go first.”
Xu Cheng picked up the box and began shaking it violently.
Opposite from him, Yan Jingfan smiled, appearing to be very confident. The Young Master Lee behind him was the most nervous one out of the three.
Xu Cheng put the roller onto the table and said to Yan Jingfan, “You can call now.”
“Is there any limit?” Yan Jingfan asked.
“Nope.”
Yan Jingfan casually tossed in 5 million dollars in chips and said, “Big.”
Xu Cheng lifted the roller, the total number of points came to 9, which was big.
Some of the audience immediately applauded Yan Jingfan’s skills.
At this moment, Young Master Lee finally felt a bit more at ease. He said to Yan Jingfan, “You should’ve bet more and won more of his money.”
“Don’t worry.” Yan Jingfan looked calmly as if he was enjoying this highlight moment. He smiled and said, “To someone like him, you gotta toy him to death slowly, just to show him how we are miles above him while he struggles helplessly. That would reflect the difference between professionals and amateurs more. I said, tonight I’m going to play him to death in a hundred ways, and he can pick whichever way too.”
Xu Cheng obviously heard those words. He smiled and pa.s.sed the roller over and said, “Your turn.”
Yan Jingfan pleasingly shook the roller, not appearing to be worried at all.
When he put the roller onto the table, his hand left the table and he said, “Make your call.”
He was absolutely confident that he, as a professional, could shake the dice in a way that makes it almost impossible for amateurs to guess due to the switch-ups in rhythms.
Xu Cheng casually counted the chips, picked up a billion-dollar worth, and pushed it into the pool. “People that pretend to be rich but only put down a few million in bets really disgusts me. I can’t do something like that, so if I’m going to pretend to be a rich guy, I will carry my act all the way through. I will bet just a billion first and calm my b.a.l.l.s down a bit.”
Everyone at the scene took in a deep breath.
Just how big are the b.a.l.l.s of someone that could bet one billion on a game that relies mostly on luck?
Even Haber’s heart ached a bit just by watching. “That ‘money is just paper’ phrase, I will never say it again in front of you. In comparison to me, you are basically trying to let them out like it’s sh-t.”
Xu Cheng picked up a cigar from the plate and put it in his mouth. “Talk means nothing. Back where I come from, the admirer should light the cig for the admired.”
Haber took out his lighter and lit it for Xu Cheng.
After taking a sip, he dashingly looked over at Yan Jingfan and said, “Let’s go.”
Yan Jingfan slowly removed the roller.
2+3=5, small!
Young Master Lee felt like he just got stabbed in the heart.
Yan Jingfan’s hand also shook. He lowered his voice and said to Young Master Lee who was behind him, “Don’t worry. We lost a billion, so I will bet 2 billion to win it back. Within 5 rounds, I will send him home.”
Young Master Lee nodded. “Please.”
The staff counted 1 billion in chips from Young Master Lee’s side and pushed it onto Xu Cheng’s side.
Yan Jingfan looked at the proud Xu Cheng and snorted. “To us pros, in terms of calculation abilities, do you know where else they could apply?”
“Where?” Xu Cheng curiously asked.
“It’s to utilize your confidence and the odds of winning to beat you. Say we both start with 10 billion, but my win rate is 30% higher than yours. No matter how much you put down as a bet, I will put down just as much the next round. Then, within 10 rounds, I can win 3 more rounds than you, and in the end, you would be the one going broke.”
Xu Cheng clapped for him. “Very nice, but where did you get the confidence you can win 30% than me?”
As Xu Cheng said that, he began shaking the roller. But this time, his hand speed changed, and the tempo began switching up.
The sudden change made Yan Jingfan’s ears unable to keep up with the rhythm at all. He looked up in disbelief at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng also looked at him mysteriously and said, “I welcome you to bet a billion.”
Bam!
Xu Cheng slammed the roller onto the desk, and Yan Jingfan’s forehead was covered in sweat.
At this time, Young Master Lee pushed him on the shoulder and said, “Bet 2 billion! We will take back the princ.i.p.al amount and profit! We have a higher win rate, however much he bets, we can just double that. In the end, it will be us that win!”
Yan Jingfan began panicking.
He completely lost track of the tempo!
“Hurry up! What are you scared of?” Young Master Lee didn’t know that Yan Jingfan already screwed up.
If he had a 70% confidence in guessing the dice in the first round, then this time, it was only 50%! Basically no different than normal people guessing!
“Let’s put down 5 million on ‘small’ first.” For the sake of being safe, and also to probe Xu Cheng again, he didn’t dare to put down a billion, not to mention 2 billion. That would be too risky.
Xu Cheng grinned. “Didn’t you say you have a 30% higher chance of winning than me? Where did that go already? Went to feed the dogs or something?”
Then, he lifted the roller.
1+5=6, small
Young Master Lee almost coughed up blood from rage. MY 2 BILLION!
He directly scolded Yan Jingfan, “I told you to put down 2 billion, if you did then we would’ve won already! You lost a billion to him, and you just won 5 million back? Is your brain filled with sh-t?”
Xu Cheng laughed as he slid the roller across the table. “Your turn.”
