Chapter 71 Money is a man's guts (recommended tickets please!)
Organic chemistry room.

"will not."

After being startled, Ben shook his head.

"Really? It's actually very simple."

Professor Rosa stretched out his hand and motioned for Ben to walk over. Gil and others were sitting at a gaming table. The professor took out playing cards from the card machine and introduced: "You and the dealer are rivals. He will give you 2 There are cards, and flower cards greater than 10 are counted as 10 points. You can ask for cards, stop cards and raise bets. The person closest to 21 points wins, and the person who exceeds 21 points loses."

"It's the most popular card game in the world."

Fisher laughed.

"It's actually a game that tests memory."

Jill Taylor rationally analyzed: "The cards that have been dealt are the past, and the cards that have not been dealt are the future."

"And the best part."

Professor Rosa leaned back in his chair and said with a shrewd smile: "It can be defeated, you should be very clear about this."

"Are you talking about card counting?"

Ben suddenly realized.

This is the same as the variables considered in the host game in math class, except that the blackjack game uses 21 decks of cards. Excluding the big and small kings, there are a total of 4 cards, and they change all the time. The complexity and difficulty are far beyond the average person. Imagine.

But in theory, it is possible for a person with super memory and super mental arithmetic ability to succeed in card counting. You only need to quickly calculate the winning rate of the current game based on the current situation, and place a heavy bet when the winning rate is very high. There is a high chance of a big win.

For example, Sheldon, who has a high-definition image memory ability, when Leonard and the others play a card game, he can accurately analyze what cards each player is holding by just listening to it, without looking at it. , naturally invincible!
Of course, for those who drink water with their teeth stuck and their backs covered with blood, even if the probability of winning is calculated to be 99%, they may still run into those small and medium-probability events again and again!

And such a person must have been kicked out of the group long ago!
So when this approach is implemented for a whole game or for a period of time, overall victory is almost inevitable, which is what Professor Rosa said can be defeated.

“No, I’m talking about getting really, really rich!”

Professor Rosa tempted and said: "You only need to fly to Las Vegas on weekends and holidays, and you can make money while vacationing. This is a great hobby, isn't it?"

"You all count cards?"

Ben said in shock.

"We are a team."

“When we work together as a team, our winning rate increases many times,” Gill explained.

Ben calmly asked: "Then why are you looking for me?"

“One of us graduated and went to Google.”

Professor Rosa said proudly.

Ben was dubious and said: "If this can really make a lot of money, why would he go to Google?"

"I'm talking about Google!"

Professor Rosa emphasized.

In this era, Google is already the largest Internet giant in the world, and those who enter Google as outstanding graduates from the University of Chicago have a bright future.

"Sorry, I still can't do it."

Ben refused calmly.

"Why? With your intelligence, there is nothing wrong with university courses, and if you want to transfer to medical school for further studies, it will cost a lot of money."

Professor Rosa reminded.

"how do you know?"

Ben was shocked.

“I’m very interested in my students.”

Professor Rosa said meaningfully.

Ben's heart trembled, and he felt more and more dangerous about this matter. He shook his head firmly and said, "Sorry!"

While talking, he walked out.

"Book!"

"what?"

"I would like you to keep this conversation private."

"certainly……"

Ben was about to nod in agreement, but was interrupted by Professor Rosa: "No, I have to remind you that you are one of my favorite students. If I lose you, I will be very sad. Do you understand what I mean?"

In American colleges and universities, it is still very easy for a university professor to deal with a student. He only needs to deliberately make things difficult and lower his grades, which may make an outstanding student lose the opportunity to take a step forward.

Of course, the premise is that there is no background or connections. Otherwise, someone like Owen, who is very familiar with Katie's mother, a tenured professor at the University of Chicago, will be difficult to deal with!

This is why Professor Rosa doesn't even see Owen!
Gordon!
The door was closed, and Ben stood outside with a wry smile. He was threatened by his professor, but the threat was real. He secretly decided not to mention it even in front of his good friend Michael.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Professor Rosa and the others would not give up so easily. Ben's burning eyes on Jill Taylor were so obvious, and the beauty tricks were used naturally.

Ben resisted reservedly, but his willpower was not as strong as he imagined. On the way home on the subway while pushing his bicycle, he looked around and saw that everyone seemed to be losers. Suddenly he felt that card counting was useful. No big deal, as long as he makes enough $30 to go to medical school, it's time to stop.

Besides, he might still be able to create some sparks with Jill Taylor...

Money and beautiful women have always been the two things that impress men the most, but Ben seemed to have it at his fingertips, so he couldn't hold on to it. He turned back to the campus, found Professor Rosa and the others, and successfully integrated into it with his strong memory and mental arithmetic.

A month later.

666 Dormitory.

"came back?"

Owen looked at Ben Campbell, whose mental outlook had changed drastically. He understood clearly and said jokingly: "How was your weekend? Michael and the others said they couldn't find you~"

"kindness."

Ben stood there, looking at Owen with a detached attitude, remembering what Xiao Cai and the others told him after the team members got acquainted, and thinking about his wonderful and exciting trip to Las Vegas this month, for Owen This opponent, who didn't even know he was defeated, had a sense of superiority in his eyes.

"I have something to go out and I forgot my phone."

After Owen went out, Ben secretly put the bundles of cash in his backpack into the vent on the roof, covered the vent panel, lay on his bed, looked at the vent panel on the roof, curled up the corner of his mouth, and closed his eyes to sleep soundly.

In Las Vegas, day and night are reversed, and the spirit is high. After a weekend, sleep deprivation is inevitable!

night.

In a bar next to the University of Chicago.

The party of four, when Fat Michael and Kem were still arguing about whether to dare to go up, Ben caught a glimpse of Jill Taylor, a hormonal and pretentious impulse drove him, and walked directly to Jill Taylor's room. Beside him, he boldly issued an invitation.

"what the fk!"

"Why is Ben so talented all of a sudden? Even Jill Taylor dares to talk to him!"

"Money makes a man bold!"

Owen squinted his eyes and looked at Ben who was swaying freely, and there was no trace of shyness at all. He couldn't help but let out a sigh. Thinking of a somewhat embarrassing thing that happened last weekend, he drank all the beer in the glass. I gave up heavily and already made a decision in my heart...
