Chapter 330: Sleight of Hand
"Tsk, you piece of rotten meat, you're lucky."
Louis retracted the gun and looked at the black hole-like barrel with a troubled look on his face.
"I can dodge even half of it."
Lu Ao still sat calmly at the table, not looking nervous at all.
Perhaps he also felt that he should have died a long time ago. As early as twenty years ago.
"Mr. Lu Ao, you survived, and I give you three points."
Rocky took the cards and gun from the table and handed them to the waiter beside him.
"To ensure fairness in the game, a new deck of cards will be used in each round. Please wait a minute."
After the waiter walked off the gambling table with the old cards, everyone on the table fell silent again.
Lu Qian looked at Rocky who was standing beside him and asked curiously, "Mr. Rocky, do you have any children?"
When Rex heard Lu Qian chatting with Rocky again, his expression changed obviously. How many problems does this woman have?
"No," Rocky nodded slightly, smiling gentlemanly, "Why do you ask, Miss Lu?"
"Nothing," Lu Qian smiled at him, "I just thought you were such a neat and gentle person, you might have a daughter."
Rocky was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly at Lu Qian, "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, I may have let you down."
At this moment, the waiter happened to come up with a new deck of cards and interrupted their conversation.
"Next round of the game," Rocky took the new cards, cut them open again with a knife, and placed them in front of everyone, signaling, "Let's start now."
ROUND2
"Dealer of this round: Lu Qian. Dealing the cards now."
Lu Qian frowned, thinking about the current situation.
Lu Ao is not dead, which means he now has three points in his hand... How can they fight for the three-point gap?
She looked at Cheng Yi behind her, took a card from her hand and placed it on the table, "+1."
As usual, leave it to God.
Rex: "+1."
Lu Ao: "+1."
After the first round of cards, the whole audience gasped.
Ling Shuo slammed the table and stood up, "Fuck... this is already half?!"
These people at the gambling table are not just gambling, they are risking their lives.
"If a DOUBLE appears at this moment..." Lei Ya muttered, his face turning pale.
——Second round of playing——
Lu Qian: "PASS."
Rex took Rocky's card and opened his squinting eyes instantly.
"This is a really..." He threw the cards on the table, "a good hand!"
Rocky saw the card Rex threw out, raised his eyebrows slightly, and announced loudly: "DOUBLE."
"What?!"
"DOUBLE?!"
…
The stands were instantly boiling with excitement.
When Rex already has three bullets, does he dare to throw out this DOUBLE?
Qingli gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Does he really want to kill the head of the family?"
Qi Huang roared, "But if that happens, he might die too!"
"What a fucking lunatic!" Ling Shuo clenched his fists and cursed.
…
"wrong."
When everyone was worried about the fate of Lu Qian and Cheng Yi, Jiang Luan interrupted their thoughts.
Lei Ya asked, "What's wrong?"
"I overlooked a problem when I was calculating just now," Jiang Luan slowly opened his eyes. "The bullets in a pistol are arranged in a row, so if the first shot is sure to miss, the probability of the second bullet hitting is lower than the first."
"If three bullets are loaded, the probability of the gunman dying is two-thirds whether the double card is played or the +1 card is played.
That is to say, the probability of death from firing two shots with three bullets is the same as firing one shot with four bullets."
"In other words... no matter how many bullets are in there, firing two shots with n bullets and firing one shot with n+1 bullets have exactly the same probability of death."
"How could this be?" Ling Shuo's brain was completely confused. No matter how he thought about it, the probability of death would be higher if two shots were fired.
Jiang Luan didn't explain Ling Shuo's question, but instead raised another question: "Rex's participation in this game is already very strange. If he just wanted to kill Lu Qian and the headmaster, why did he have to use this double?
You know, he can't let the 'hostage' take the blow from DOUBLE, and judging from his appearance, he is really looking forward to DOUBLE.
A +1 would still achieve his goal, and would be safer for him."
From the perspective of gambling psychology, the person who sets up the gambling game will never participate in a game without confidence.
Just like the casino is always the one that makes money, you may be able to make a small profit, but the winner is always the dealer.
"We're too focused on DOUBLE," Jiang Luan narrowed his eyes and looked towards the stage. "Is it possible... this rule is a sleight of hand? ... No, maybe even this whole bet is a sleight of hand."
A sleight of hand... ?
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Yes, they were too anxious and too worried.
In a life-or-death situation, they did not remain calm.
Jiang Luan frowned, looked at the gambling table, and said hesitantly, "Should we close our eyes and think about something beyond the rules and appearances?"
