Chapter 18 - Las Vegas
“Good shot!”, Patrice jumped high and threw Lu Qiujian to the front of the rebound. The basketball slammed into the basket. His defender, Gardson, was shocked and lay down outside the court. Pat Rees loosened the basket and landed on the ground, cracked and walked over with a big smile and reached out to pull Garderson up. “Man, you have to gain weight. The basket is not a place where you can stay like a bamboo pole!” “
“Come on, I’m very satisfied with my figure, I don’t plan to become a monster!”, Gadson stretched his fist and pounded Patrice’s chest, Patrice did not respond, but Gadson’s fist was His solid chest muscles hurt, “With you and Lv, maybe I will be able to leave the team until March!”, Gardson is nearing graduation, the time the Princeton Tigers were eliminated in the NCAA is also The time when he withdrew from the basketball team.
“Let’s start the game quickly! The powerful Patrice is already impatient!”, He yelled at his chest, and now the practice game inside Princeton can no longer satisfy him.
Today ’s practice was over after Patrice completed the aerial relay. Spencer on the side began to retreat to collect his things. He pointed to the assistant coach Black on the side. He is contacting our warm-up opponents, and maybe we can start the game in two weeks! “
The NCAA regular season started in November, and it is now mid-September. In order to adjust the status of the players, arranging a few warm-up games in October is something that every school basketball team must do.
“Really? That team? Duke or UCLA?” Patrice quickly asked. Spencer spread his hands and said he knew nothing. Just when Patrice tried to ask Coach Black, Lu Qiu In front of him was built, “Okay, we will go to Nevada tomorrow! Don’t you need to go back and pack things early?”
Back to the dormitory, Lu Qiujian packed up two clothes, then turned over a few books from the bookshelf and threw them into the box to complete his preparations; came to the desk and brushed the completion of the paper to 100%.
Early the next morning, the two rushed to New York Airport by bus, and thanks to the advanced aviation industry in the United States, they quickly boarded a flight from New York to Las Vegas, Nevada.
If these two cities are moved to China, then New York on the east coast is probably located in Jinmen, and Las Vegas in the northwest is almost equivalent to the Dihua in the western region, plus the midway transfer, so the flight is flying It is not surprising that the time is up to seven hours.
Patrice began to sleep as soon as he got on the plane. Lv Qiujian waited for the plane to stabilize and took out the luggage from the luggage rack, took out the book prepared yesterday and looked over.
Everyone who has ever flown a plane knows that long flight is a very boring thing. The middle-aged man in the next seat turned his attention to Lu Qiujian after reading the magazine provided by the airline. The salesman’s professional habits, he began to judge his identity based on Lu Qiujian’s dress and appearance. The fabric of the clothing is generally but clean and clean, which shows that he is a person who pays more attention to his image, but the economic conditions are not very good , Reading is very focused, not distracted by the aircraft’s bumps and other people’s attention, and then the book in his hand, Mozridge’s newly published “Decision 21 Points” …
Combined with the destination of this trip, our salesman Mr. Williams quickly smiled confidently. He felt that he had guessed the identity of this young man beside him. This is a Chinese teenager from the middle and lower classes , Through his diligence and some talents to enter a good university, the major should be science and engineering; this hard-working child may have accidentally seen this book about math genius relying on card counting in Las Vegas A story full of return, and out of self-confidence in his genius, the young man can’t wait to take his poor savings to board the Las Vegas flight.
This is exactly the same reason why he first set foot in Las Vegas. The only difference is that he originally read Edward Thorpe’s “Victory of the Dealer”. Williams smiled self-deprecating, “Young man, don’t you Do you want to rely on this book to conquer Las Vegas? If so, you probably do n’t have enough people! “
“Oh, have you also read this book?”, Lv Qiujian looked up, his own experience on gambling comes entirely from books and movies, it would be better if someone could give pointers.
“” Blackjack “, Thorpe’s” Victory over the Dealer “, Dalton’s” Super System “…” Williams spit out ten books about gambling with the speed of a machine gun. A professional book on tricks, “I read almost all the books about gambling available in bookstores, but I still can only sit in the second class like you! Young people, do n’t be fooled by these so-called tricks, gamblers Never beat the casino! “
“But … the technique described above seems to be really useful!”, Lv Qiujian turned to the page about counting skills, UU reading www.uukanshu.com “This method is theoretically feasible! According to the algorithm he gave, it can indeed improve the winning rate of blackjack! “
“But you overlooked a problem! The protagonist in the book has a team to serve him, card dealers, controllers, big players!” Williams pointed to Patrice beside him, “and You only brought a ‘bodyguard’! This is not enough. “
Forehead, Lu Qiujian looked back at Patrice who was sleeping soundly, and he had to say that his size really looked like a bodyguard.
“You need someone to do the calculations for you behind the scenes.” Williams glanced at his jacket pocket. “Or you think that the use of electronic devices can solve this problem, but the casinos are not vegetarian. Almost every casino has installed Anti-electronic devices, once they are found to be cheating, your life is over! “
“Oh? Can you tell me about the situation in the casino?”, Lu Qiujian diverted the topic in a timely manner. He has solved the problem about the algorithm. What he needs now is how to prevent the casino from finding him counting cards!
“I’m going to Las Vegas almost every holiday. I don’t know any more about where …” It was easy to find a topic that could send a boring journey. Williams immediately chatted to Lu Qiujian. The situation in major casinos in Las Vegas.
The flight landed in Las Vegas, and the three of them took a taxi to the door of the casino. “I’m going first. Good luck!” Williams patted his shoulder and left.
My computer, my living expenses, and my start-up capital all depend on you! Lv Qiujian glanced at the sign above his head and took a big stride to walk in!
