Chapter 456: Strange Strategies, the Possibility of Cheating

After Twenty introduced the rules, he also sat on a barrel.

"If there's no doubt, let's get started."

Naturally no one objected.

Soon, two cards, one light and one dark, were dealt to everyone's hands.

The bright card Lin Yu got was a J, and then he looked at the hole card in his hand, which was a 9.

"It's really big..."

Lin Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It seems that I don’t need to add cards this round.

So he looked at the bright cards on the other people's tables.

The fern is a 7, the algae is a 3, and the moss is a K.

The three of them are also checking the hidden cards in their hands.

Zao held it in his hand and after reading it, kept stroking his secret card, while Fern opened a corner and immediately buttoned it down.

Moss picked it up and took a look.

The performance of the three people cannot yet tell what kind of cards they have got.

As the dealer, Twenty got the same 9 as Lin Yu's hole card.

"Moss didn't report Black Jack, which means his trump card is not A..."

Lin Yu thought about it, and then Twenty began to ask Lin Yu on his left.

"Do you want a card?"

"No."

Lin Yu shook his head and said.

Although there is no sure way to win in the game of blackjack, there are ways to increase the winning rate in this game.

This method is the most well-known among various poker games - because this method is so legendary!

Kaiwen Ma, a Chinese student from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the highest institution on the other side of the ocean, led his classmates to sweep through the casinos in Las Vegas and made away with millions of dollars using card counting.

This story was even adapted into a movie called "Blackjack."

Lin Yu has watched that movie repeatedly - after all, one of the film's leading actors, Kevin Spacey, is an Oscar winner. For Lin Yu, who is passionate about acting, it is impossible for him to miss such an actor with masterful acting skills. drama.

Therefore, Lin Yu also knew the card counting method.

To put it bluntly, it is a real-time calculation strategy based on statistics and probability - paying attention to all the cards that have appeared on the field and assigning points to them.

Although Twenty chose to let everyone hold a dark card, which reduced each participant's ability to grasp the information on the field, he was using a "single deck" after all, and there were five players.

This provides strategies for real-time calculations.

Of course, for Lin Yu...he got 19 with the first two cards in his hand. Even a player who doesn't understand the optimal strategy for taking cards can know that he shouldn't take cards in this hand.

"If the goal is to win the game, at most we only need to calculate the probability of one more 'exchange of cards'... And it doesn't matter if I lose this time and I am asked questions. Rather, I am looking forward to twenty more questions. "

After all, the person who answers is probably not him... Even if he answers by himself, it can be misleading for Twenty.

Now I am not sure whether the four people on the field are Lin Yu.

From Lin Yu's point of view, the most ideal situation is to make Nian think that these four people are his own, Lin Yu's "personality", and then use the performance of the other three people to mislead Nian.

But this also leads to the fact that in this game, Lin Yu has a more important task than "winning".

"I have to make that guy Nian believe that I and the other three are in the same group, and I have to make Nian understand why I didn't have a split personality last time but suddenly split this time without disturbing them."

Well... I have to say, there is a long way to go.

But Lin Yu felt that it was not impossible.

At this time, Wu was already looking at Fern, who was sitting next to Lin Yu.

"Do you want to choose to take the card?"

Fern had a 7 in his hand. Judging from the situation on the scene, Lin Yu felt that as long as the hole cards were not the biggest ones, he could give it a try.

Anyway, you can continue to gamble and win even if it explodes - this rule essentially reduces the cost of "getting cards" and encourages you to choose to continue taking risks even if there is a possibility of explosion.

Even if Fern's hole card is 10 points, which is the "T" card in the blackjack game, then she is just stuck on the special dangerous point of 17 points.

Fern was very smart, and Lin Yu felt that even if she had not understood the blackjack strategy, she would still be able to make a better choice based on intuition. From this, Lin Yu could completely deduce what Fern's trump card was.

And Fern's answer was beyond Lin Yu's expectation.

"I don't take cards."

She gave up calmly.

Lin Yu was a little surprised.

"Is the hidden card in her hand the A or T card..."

He thought calmly, without any fluctuation in the expression on his face.

Nin Tsai did not hide his surprise that Fern did not ask for a card.

Although the expression of Twenty, who was wrapped in a cloak, could not be seen, it did not prevent him from making a soft smacking sound.

"You don't want cards either, okay," Nianzhuan turned to Zao, "What about you?"

"I'm going to keep getting cards."

There is only a 3 in front of Zao, so of course he will take the card.

It wasn't until Twenty turned around that Zao put the hidden cards he had been rubbing back on the table.

Nifeng was dealt a card to Zao. This card was a "5".

"It's really small."

Zao muttered, then seemed to start thinking.

Seeing Zao's thinking, Lin Yu couldn't help but guess again.

"The current card of 'Zao' on the board is 8, but he is still struggling... In other words, his hidden card may be a medium-sized number?"

"6, 7, 8, and 9 are all possible... If you consider that Zao is not as good at thinking about these puzzles as Fern, and his personality is closer to a thug's positioning, perhaps this range is a bit wider, because he may I don’t have your excellent numerical intuition and ability to accurately calculate probabilities.”

The scene was extremely quiet, with only the breathing of a few people and some noise coming from far away in the mine.

After a while, Zao seemed to have made up his mind and spoke.

"I want to get another card."

A new bright card was placed in front of Zao.

But this time, Zao's got a new 6.

Seeing this scene, Fern couldn't help but joked: "Ha, it would be great if this was a golden flower. If you have good cards, you can try your hand at a flush."

After Fern said this, Lin Yu noticed that the three cards 3, 5, and 6 on the field happened to be hearts.

Unfortunately, suits don't mean much in blackjack.

Seeing that Zao Guang's bright card had reached 14, but at this moment, after a moment of silence, Zao spoke again.

"I still want to keep getting cards."

This made Lin Yu feel even more strange.

"You still got 14 on the open side, so what are your trump cards?"

If Zao's trump card is big, he shouldn't take it now.

But if Ruozao's trump card is very small... what was he struggling with just now?

When Lin Yu thought of this, he suddenly remembered the conversation that happened just twenty years ago when Zao and Fern first arrived here.

"unless……"

"The two of them are cheating again!"
