Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1263 Adjustment Plan

  There are two more important foundations for performing magic, one is relying on props, the other is relying on technique. Relatively speaking, close-range magic relies more on techniques. Xiao Yao is interested in magic, especially close-range magic, and the most important thing is his interest in magic tricks.

  In his previous life, Xiao Yao also liked magic, especially close-up magic. The main purpose at that time was to show off in front of girls and attract girls after learning. Xiao Yao in this life doesn't need magic to attract girls, he learns magic purely for multiple skills, and by the way exercise his finger flexibility.

  Xiao Yao knows many musical instruments, whether it is a guitar, a piano keyboard, a hand disc, or even an ocarina saxophone, etc., he needs his fingers to have considerable flexibility. It is impossible for Xiao Yao to carry a musical instrument wherever he goes, nor to practice a musical instrument frequently. Sometimes he would practice some magic tricks to exercise and maintain the flexibility of his fingers.

  At present, Xiao Yao also has a lot of magic tricks, but no one has too many magic tricks. Xiao Yao hadn't specially asked a professional magician to learn from a teacher, but he would want to learn it if he had the opportunity to meet him. After all, the more magic tricks you can learn and the more you can play during practice, the less likely it is to feel boring and bored.

  Xiao Yao saw a magic show on the streets of Las Vegas, pondering the principles, tricks and techniques of magic, trying to crack the secrets, and then turn it into his own.

   Xiao Yao's brain is very good, and his observation skills are also very good. However, the most prominent performance of Xiao Yao's brain is in memory and mental arithmetic ability, and no matter how good his observation ability is, some doorways are invisible. There are some magic techniques that Xiao Yao has come into contact with. If he can figure out the principles, Xiao Yao can't figure it out at all.

  For those magic tricks that can't be seen at all, Xiao Yao will stand by and watch until the magician's performance is over and there is no one next to him. At this time, Xiao Yao would walk over to discuss with the magician, and pay the other party to tell him the secret of performing the magic just now.

   Xiao Yao knows that magicians generally do not disclose their magic secrets to others casually, not to mention completely ignorance of strangers they meet on the road.

  But Xiao Yao doesn't care about being rejected. He doesn't rely on this to eat, it's purely hobby, and now he's more leisurely, anyway, just give it a try, forget it if it doesn't work. By the way, Xiao Yao didn't study for nothing. He used the money to teach him. The income of street performers is limited. What if someone promises to save money? The road that Xiao Yao walked around is a main road with many tourists, and the public security is very good, and he is not afraid of money and wealth.

Maybe it’s that Xiao Yao’s dress and behavior are not like a magician, not like a peer grabbing a job. Maybe the stack of banknotes taken out by Xiao Yao has an impact on street performers. You must know that Xiao Yao won in the casino in the morning. I got the money, and when I changed the chips, the last few thousand yuan were all replaced with cash and put on my body. At this time, I just took out a lot of stacks. In addition, Xiao Yao's requirements are not high, he doesn't need to teach and teach, as long as he explains the know-how, he can take the money and leave after a live demonstration. As a result, the magician who really saw the money opened up promised Xiao Yao, and took the money and left after teaching Xiao Yao once.

   Xiao Yao’s memory has nothing to say, but the tutor remembered it. Standing on the street is not easy to practice, and Xiao Yao is not too busy practicing. Once he remembers, he will continue to wander down the street to find the next goal.

  Just wandering outside for an afternoon, until dinner time, Xiao Yao casually found a more distinctive restaurant to have dinner.

  At night, Xiao Yao’s activities are different again. Although Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps, many streets are brightly lit at night, and there are street performers, but after all, the night is different from the day. It is not a wise move to pay out a lot of money at night. It seems that the security is very good on the bustling street.

   Xiao Yao told Paula that he was interested in performing in Las Vegas, and that was the truth. In the evening, his arrangement was indeed to watch the show.

  Las Vegas is a comprehensive tourist city centered on the gambling industry. Many hotels are very distinctive. Some hotels have casinos, some hotels have theaters and other performance venues, and some hotels have both casinos and theaters. On the other hand, many well-known casinos and theaters in Las Vegas do not exist alone, but are located in hotels.

There is a theater in the Caesars Palace Hotel where Xiao Yao lives. However, after inquiring about the performance information of the various theaters in Las Vegas through the Internet, Xiao Yao has no interest in tonight’s show in the Caesars Palace performance venue and chose to go to another hotel. Watch a musical performance in the theater.

  After watching the performance, Xiao Yao returned to his room at Caesars Palace Hotel. It wasn't too late at this time, but Xiao Yao didn't go out anymore, and took a rest after trying a few magic tricks he learned in the afternoon.

  The next morning, Xiao Yao got up early. After washing, go to the hotel gym to exercise early, eat breakfast, then go back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, and then Xiao Yao left.

  Today, Xiao Yao’s main task is still to go to the casino, but Xiao Yao did not intend to continue playing in the casino of the Caesars Palace Hotel where he was staying. Instead, he planned to change to another casino.

  Xiao Yao won more than 200,000 yuan in the casino of Caesars Palace yesterday. Although this number may not necessarily attract the attention of the casino, Xiao Yao hopes that the later the casino will notice him, the better. Of course, he should try to avoid consecutive appearances in the same casino.

  The casino that Xiao Yao went to today was called Winnie Casino. It was not inside a certain hotel, but a separate casino. This casino is also a formal casino listed for business. Its reputation in Las Vegas is slightly worse than that of the Caesars Palace Casino, which relies on the hotel. However, because it is a separate specialized casino, its scale is larger than the Caesars Palace Casino. .

   are all formal casinos that are listed for business. Although the Winnie Casino is larger than Caesars Palace, the gambling methods and facilities inside are similar, that is, the number of gaming tables and slot machines is a bit more. Xiao Yao had already listened to the waiter at Caesars Palace Casino yesterday explaining the various facilities and gameplay in the casino. Today, after entering the Winnie Casino, there is no need to ask the waiter to introduce him. He just went to the chip exchange office and changed his chips.

In the Winnipeg Casino, Xiao Yao’s actions were the same as yesterday’s at the Caesars Palace Casino. He first went to roulette, dice, slot machines and other various gaming tables or machines to play around, and then sat down on a blackjack. Gaming table.

  There are also gambling girls in the Winnie Casino. Since Xiao Yao’s strategy is the same as yesterday, the initial stage is to understand and judge the hand. The amount of bet is very small relative to the amount of chips he puts on the table. It didn’t take long for a young and beautiful girl with a **** dress. Sat next to him.

   Borrowing Bora chips yesterday, it was Xiao Yao's whim that La Bora went to the gambling table together. The purpose was to test his ability to play two roles at the same time and count two cards. Xiao Yao already did this experiment yesterday and proved that he has this ability. There is no need to do it every day.

   Borrowing chips to gambling girls to play together is a relatively rare thing in a casino. This kind of thing should not be done often, otherwise it is easy to be discussed and spread, which will attract the attention of the casino. Another point is that the algorithm for assisting card counters is not as good as that of big players, and the probability of winning is not as high as that of big players, which means that the income is not as high as that of big players.

  So, even though Xiao Yao met the gambling girl and increased the bet amount under the "stimulation" of the gambling girl, he did not borrow chips to the gambling girl and bring the gambling girl to the table together.

  There are no clocks in the Winnie Casino, but Xiao Yao has the feeling and control, and will not indulge enough to forget the time. When it was lunch time, when it was time to eat, Xiao Yao knew it. There is also free food in this casino, but Xiao Yao will not be addicted to having free lunch in the casino. When it was almost lunch time, Xiao Yao collected his chips, left the casino, and found a restaurant to have a good meal.

  But unlike yesterday, when Xiao Yao left the casino at noon, he did not exchange his chips.

  Today, Xiao Yao did not accompany the gambling girl to the table. He does not need to take care of others. He only needs to count his own big players. Compared with yesterday, Xiao Yao's pressure on card counting is much smaller today.

  The mental energy consumption of card counting is less, and Xiao Yao can hold on for a long time. Yesterday Xiao Yao had already strolled on the streets of Las Vegas, and there was no place to go or play plan, so when Xiao Yao left at noon, he did not exchange the chips in his hand. After lunch, he returned to Winnie. Casino, continue to fight at the blackjack table. Xiao Yao only finished playing until dinner time, exchanged his chips, and really left the casino.

  Yesterday at the Caesars Palace Casino, Xiao Yao’s principal was 200,000. After playing for a whole morning, he won more than 200,000, and he had more than 400,000 in his hand. At the Winnie Casino today, Xiao Yao almost converted yesterday's principal and profit into principal, and exchanged it for an integer of 400,000 chips. With more chips, Xiao Yao's bet amount will naturally increase.

  No matter what stage, Xiao Yao’s bet amount today is almost double that of yesterday, and the time spent in the casino is almost twice that of yesterday. In theory, Xiao Yao’s profit should be about four times that of yesterday.

  However, this is only in theory.

  Card counting is to improve the overall odds. It is not a guarantee that every hand will win or how many hands will be won. It is also affected by some luck. What's more, Xiao Yao played two games by himself yesterday. The chips were divided into fifty thousand and one hundred fifty thousand, each supporting one player, which is different from the situation where he only played one player today.

  However, Xiao Yao’s actual record today is quite close to this theory. When Xiao Yao entered the game, he had a stake of 400,000 yuan, and when he left, the total amount of chips in his hand was a little over 1.35 million. Counting it down, Xiao Yao won more than 900,000 today, which happens to be four times the amount of more than 240,000 yesterday.

  Even though Xiao Yao’s principal is 400,000, and the amount of bet is relatively high, he won more than 900,000 in the casino in one day and close to 1 million. This number is still quite prominent.

  Finally, when he exchanged chips at the chip exchange office before leaving the casino, Xiao Yao suddenly felt a little worried.

  No matter how high Xiao Yao's bet amount is, it is impossible to bet hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands in one go. It is not that Xiao Yao won simply a few times, but slowly accumulated. Not to mention that when Xiao Yao finally left, he took so many chips to the chip exchange office to exchange chips. It was very eye-catching. Even in the afternoon, some ordinary gamblers were attracted by the large amount of chips piled in front of Xiao Yao. Onlookers at the gaming table.

When an ordinary gambler is watched by other gamblers, it is easy to attract the attention of the casino manager. Coupled with the pile of more than one million chips in front of him, Xiao Yao is almost certain that the management staff in the casino monitoring room will pass. The monitoring screen looked at myself.

  According to the rules of the casino, blackjack players cannot touch cards. The cards issued by the croupier to the players are all open cards. Even if they encounter a pair of the same number, the player asks to divide the cards. The croupier helps to separate the two cards. The player can only place the added chips behind the other card. , And can't touch cards. Since cards cannot be touched, and cards in the casino are only used once, cheating methods such as changing cards and marking cards are almost possible. The only thing the casino has to worry about is that the players count the cards.

   Before coming to Las Vegas, Xiao Yao had a detailed understanding of their card counting team’s experience in Las Vegas casinos and their methods of operation with Yan Ke and others.

  As a person whose memory and mental arithmetic abilities are more than those of ordinary card counting team members, and at the same time an actor, Xiao Yao's performance at the poker table is very different from them. For example, when Xiao Yao counts cards, his eyes, expressions and actions are completely different from those of the card counting group. He can even turn his head and talk to other gamblers in the game.

  In addition, Xiao Yao is not a team player, he has no teammates, and he doesn't need to do any actions to sign a secret sign with his teammates, so there is no possibility of exposure due to this aspect.

  So, even if the casino management is watching him through the monitoring screen, Xiao Yao does not believe that the casino people will judge that he is counting cards through his performance in such a short period of time.

  Will the casino meet a gambler who is lucky enough to win a big win? From today's performance alone, Xiao Yao feels that there shouldn't be much suspiciousness. Therefore, after other gamblers began to watch, Xiao Yao did not lower the bet amount, nor did he deliberately lose. He felt that it would attract the attention of casino managers.

  However, one million is a very conspicuous number after all. Even if the management of the casino has not suspected that he is counting cards and has not put him on the blacklist, it is very likely that he will be added to the list that needs attention. Xiao Yao didn't regret his performance after gamblers watched, but he regretted the bet amount set today.

   But think about it the other way round. Xiao Yao came to Las Vegas this time with goals and time constraints. If he wants to win a certain amount, the bet amount must reach a certain level, and the bet amount is high to a certain level, and the profit reaches a certain level, it seems impossible not to attract the attention of the casino. This is actually a dilemma.

   Xiao Yao feels that the only thing he can do now is to adjust the original plan, or to make his plan more specific and detailed.

"If this million were won in two or three different casinos, wouldn't it be better?" Xiao Yao, who left the casino and returned to the hotel, wondered on the road, "Should I run more casinos a day in the future?" "
