I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Although he saw an old acquaintance, Chen Xi did not approach him rashly to strike up a conversation. Instead, he found a table with fewer people and sat down.

The dealer didn't know that he was a newly arrived foreign consultant and continued dealing cards to the customers as usual.

Not only him, but also the casino staff were unaware of their own people hiding in the crowd.

"Last call, No more bets!" While the dealer was dealing the cards, Chen Xi silently observed the people around him.

He sat in the very corner, which was the last seat, with a fat man next to him.

The POLO shirt, leather shoes, and casual pants seemed a little old and had some stains.

The fat man's bets were pretty good. At a small table like this, each bet starts with one thousand Australian dollars, and the chips he had were around seventy to eighty thousand.

Chen Xi just sat there and watched him play silently. The fat man had good luck and won several games in a row. He looked at the young man next to him curiously and asked, "Little brother, why don't you play? Let's bet together. I will help you get rich."

"Let me take a look first." Chen Xi smiled slightly.

"What's the use of just looking? How many people missed the opportunity to make big money just because of looking. Let me tell you, when I was doing business, I met a lot of people who just wanted to observe first. When they made money, these people wanted to get on board. Sorry, there is no chance!" The fat man talked about his business experience while playing.

Indeed, gambling is just like investing. Sometimes you are too hesitant, and when you witness the results, you will often feel very upset and regret why you didn’t invest the money in the first place.

"I have little money and little courage."

"Do you know why poor people are poor?" the fat man asked back after hearing him say this.

"why?"

"It's because you feel that you have too little money in your pocket, so you are indecisive in doing things and have no courage at all. You are afraid that your money will be wasted, thus you miss a lot of opportunities to make money. That's why you are poor all your life! But I'm not saying that you are poor, I'm just making an analogy." The fat man waved his hand and explained, fearing that Chen Xi would misunderstand.

In a casino, harmony brings wealth. If you have an argument with someone, it may affect your subsequent gaming experience.

Some guests are very particular about these things, and some have superstitious beliefs.

For example, you cannot pat other people's shoulders in a casino, you cannot have sex with a woman before playing a game, etc.

But what the fat man said made a lot of sense, and Chen Xi also felt that the poor were poor because of this. It seemed that the fat man had a certain understanding of business and life philosophy.

"Oh? Brother, what if I invest the money rashly and then I don't have money to go home?"

"Hey, didn't you hear what I just said? Just don't worry about these things and just move forward. If you want to get rich and still worry about whether you will have no money to go home, then you should just live the life of a servant. Hey, you won again and I asked you to follow suit, but you refused." The fat man smiled and held the chips paid by the dealer in front of himself, and deliberately showed them in front of Chen Xi.

However, there was no expression of regret or remorse on Chen Xi's face, which made the fat man a little confused.

He thought to himself that he was usually very good at judging people, decisive in business, and had a deep understanding of human nature, but he could not understand the young man in front of him.

"I see no change on your face. You must be a very rich man and don't care about the money in front of you at all."

"Brother, you are really good at judging people." Chen Xi smiled.

In fact, many people have some misunderstandings about gamblers. Many of the guests in the casino are big bosses. They are doing very well in their own industries. Some of them feel that there is no challenge anymore, so they come here.

Just like the fat guy in front of me, even though he’s not dressed well, he might be worth a lot of money.

"Let me guess what you do."

"Oh? Then you guess." The fat man's words aroused his interest.

"You look so young, you must be a rich second generation."

Chen Xi didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

"You don't have an accent. You must have been in Australia for a long time. Other young people speak with a hometown accent." This time the fat man guessed right again.

"You should have your own business. Most of the second-generation rich people who come here, even if their families are rich, still have a desire for games in their hearts. Because they want to make money to prove themselves to their families, or they want to be independent. Games are a way to make money, but you don't show it."

"Oh? Then can you guess what business I'm in?" The fat man's words made Chen Xi look at him again.

"Most young people will go into emerging industries. However, there are also many young people working in real estate in Australia in recent years. Well, I think you have worked in real estate as well as other industries." The fat man threw the poker cards in his hand to the dealer.

"How can you be sure that I'm in real estate?" Chen Xi was even more puzzled. He felt that this fat man must know him.

The fat man chuckled: "At the gambling table, everyone's habits are like a mirror, reflecting their professional background and life habits. When you place the chips, you show a unique regularity and sense of space. This habit cannot be developed overnight. It reveals your high sensitivity to spatial layout, value assessment and risk control in your work.

In the real estate industry, precise space planning and maximizing value are the keys to success. When you lay out your chips, you always arrange the chips of different denominations in a logical order, which is convenient for quick calculation of the total amount and visually forms a clear asset distribution map. This habit coincides with the thinking mode of real estate agents or investors when evaluating properties and planning layouts.

At the same time, your occasional rubbing of the chips reveals a subtle perception of "material value", which is particularly common in industries that frequently deal with real estate and funds..."

"Brother, you are awesome." Chen Xi expressed his praise sincerely.

"Little brother, I've guessed so many things, now it's your turn to guess what I do." The fat man swapped identities.

Now Chen Xi has become the guesser.

"Brother, I guess you have worked in the capital market before and are an out-and-out speculator. Later, perhaps because you were tired of the high-risk and high-return life, you began to transform and use your insight and analytical ability in another field - psychology, or more accurately, behavioral psychology." Chen Xi answered quickly, because just now, when the fat man was analyzing him, he was also analyzing the fat man.

"Oh? Little brother, your guess is quite interesting. Tell me your basis." The fat man was obviously intrigued by Chen Xi's inference. He leaned forward, his eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation.

"First, let's talk about your behavior at the gambling table." Chen Xi cleared his throat and began his analysis. "At the gambling table, you showed a very high risk tolerance and the ability to make quick decisions. Whenever you placed a bet, whether it was a large or small amount, you acted decisively without any hesitation. This style is very similar to those speculators in the capital market who need to respond quickly in the ever-changing market. They are used to looking for opportunities in high risks and have a keen intuition and quick response to market fluctuations."

"Secondly, you showed amazing insight and analytical ability when analyzing me." Chen Xi continued, "You were able to interpret my working habits in the real estate field from the way I placed the chips. This ability is not something that ordinary people have. It requires you to have a deep background in psychology and a deep understanding of human behavior patterns. Speculation in the financial market often requires traders to have this ability to capture the psychological changes of market participants and make more favorable trading decisions."

"Furthermore, your words and deeds reveal a calm temperament." Chen Xi added, "This temperament is unique to those who have experienced the ups and downs of the capital market. They have experienced countless successes and failures, and have become indifferent to the gains and losses of money. They enjoy the fun of gambling in the market. And you are a model of this temperament.

Your insight into human nature is also a major advantage of your past as a speculator. In the capital market, understanding human nature, especially understanding the fear, greed and blind obedience of market participants, is the key to success. You are able to apply this ability to your daily life, such as inferring my professional background by observing my behavior at the gambling table, which fully demonstrates that you have a deep foundation in this area.

But what I want to say is that you are not a gambler, because gamblers are in a hurry to place bets and will never talk to me about these things. "

After listening to Chen Xi's analysis, the fat man was stunned for a moment, and then gave Chen Xi a mysterious smile.

This is one of the psychologists in the casino, Chen Xi understood. Looking at the two Asians who kept chatting, the dealer seemed a little confused because he couldn't understand anything.

The ground floor leads to an outdoor smoking area between the hotels.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Single male."

"There's no one playing at your table. Why is that..." Chen Xi was a little confused. This guy should be here to study the psychology of gamblers. Wouldn't it be better to go to a table with more people?

"You're here." The fat man smiled and lit a cigarette.

After hearing this, Chen Xi also felt that it made sense.

Most customers will come over when they see someone winning money continuously, hoping to get some good luck and make some money.

"New here? I haven't seen you before." The fat man exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Well, I just came here today."

"You're so young, were you recommended by the professor?" The fat man mistook him for a student of a psychology professor.

"I guess so. How many people are like you here?"

"I don't know. We move around various casinos. How could we stay in the same place?"

"That makes sense." Chen Xi nodded.

"Brother, have you always been working for the entertainment venue or do you have your own business?" Chen Xi asked again.

"For people like me, I am currently an idle person."

The fat man didn't avoid the question and said it out loud.

After chatting with Shan Xiong for a while, he increasingly felt that this man had something up his sleeve.

Suddenly, Chen Xi had an idea in his mind.

Since Crown can gather these elites together and use them to analyze various people.

Why can't I follow suit?

Directly poach talents from Crown and then form a special team to study competitors and customers.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not gay." The fat man felt a little frightened when Chen Xi looked at him, and quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.

Back in the casino lobby, Lao Wang was still having a great time playing at the table.

Chen Xi walked over silently and stood behind the crowd to observe.

What made him curious was that the man who originally loved playing Jiale actually changed the game this time and played Blackjack.

People who often play Jiale usually won't touch other kinds of games, because in their perception, Jiale is the most suitable game for them to make money. Moreover, they have a fixed set of calculation patterns in their minds. If they rashly switch to other games, they will gradually forget what they have in their minds.

However, this is not the key point. The key point is that Chen Xi actually found that Lao Wang has been winning money crazily, and the chips in front of him have been piled up like a mountain.

There were quite a few spectators around the table, all cheering and cheering for the customers who won money.

Could it be that Lao Wang is also a master of Black Jack?

No matter how Chen Xi looked at it, he didn't think the other person looked like him.

This game not only requires mathematical sensitivity, but more importantly, teamwork. It is difficult to win money when playing with people you don’t know, so most people book a table to play.

However, there were two other players sitting next to Lao Wang.

Gradually, Chen Xi discovered that something was wrong. Lao Wang didn't know how to play at all. He would only make a choice when someone next to him gave him instructions.

After watching more than a dozen hands, several people won more than they lost. The dealer kept saying congratulations, but he didn't think so in his heart.

In casinos in Australia, as long as someone is making a lot of money at a table, the dealer will be changed within a short period of time.

The reasons for doing this are, first, to ruin the mood of the guests, second, to delay time, and third, everyone believes that luck exists. It has to be said that luck often conflicts. If a dealer is suddenly changed, people who won money before may keep losing money.

However, after changing the dealer three times in a row, Lao Wang and his people are still making money.

Chen Xi immediately noticed something was wrong, and he thought of a movie he had seen about Las Vegas.

A genius from the Department of Mathematics at MIT was selected by a professor to join their card counting team. Through their usual training and teamwork, they won a lot of money in the game of Blackjack.

This is a change from a real case, and such a thing does exist in reality.

However, the casinos in Australia do not arrest guests like in the movies, nor do they blacklist guests like in Las Vegas. Instead, they use plainclothes officers to disrupt the cooperation of their team.

The most critical position in Blackjack is at the end, because the cards asked for at the end can affect the dealer's cards.

However, Lao Wang is currently sitting at the very end.

Chen Xi also noticed that Zhang Zhuo's position had been filled by the three of them, which meant that no one else could interfere.

"Don't think about it. They don't count cards. Crown's Blackjack has two dealing modes. The first is to randomly draw several cards and put them into the dealing box, and then replace the cards after one round. The second is for the dealing machine to deal the cards. Although the dealing machine can also roughly calculate the probability of JQK and other numbers appearing, Crown's dealing machine often gets stuck. Once it gets stuck, the machine has to be opened to reorganize it, which causes the order to be messed up again, so it can't be calculated at all..." At this time, Shan Xiong suddenly appeared beside him.

Hearing this, Chen Xi suddenly realized that the plots in the movie he just thought of were all the card-dealing methods in Las Vegas in the early years. Now that so many years have passed, the rules of the casino are constantly being improved. The card-counting strategies that players used in the movie are completely impossible to exist in reality.

"Then how can these people always win money?" Chen Xi was still puzzled.

If you can't count cards, how do you do it?
Purely relying on technology? (End of this chapter)
