In terms of the gambling odds of Baccarat, winning banker bets are 1-to-1.
Winning player bets are 1-to-1.
Winning tie bets are 8-to-1.
Winning pair bets are 11-to-1.
The winning hand this round turned out to be a pair!
Huang Xiaolongâs 10-buck poker chip turned into 110 bucks.
âXiaolong, youâve bet correctly! Youâve won!â Su Xiaoman, who was standing next to Huang Xiaolong, was pleasantly surprised. She had not expected Huang Xiaolong to bet successfully just like that.
Huang Xiaolongâs expression barely stirred. For the next round, he bet all 110-bucks worth of poker chips on the banker winning.
The hand was revealed. True enough, the banker had won, and 110 bucks now turned into 220 bucks.
In the computer room on the second floor.
âF*ck! This farmer boyâs luck isnât bad at all,â Brother Tiger sneered. âHowever, out of ten bets one usually loses nine of them; luck is useless here!â
For the third round, the player won. 220 bucks turned into 440 bucks.
For the fourth round, it was a tie. 440 bucks turned into 3520 bucks.
For the fifth round, it was a tie. 3520 bucks turned into 28160 bucks.
For the sixth round, the banker won. 28160 bucks turned into 56320 bucks.
âŠ
The seventh round!
The eighth round!
The ninth round!
The tenth round!
âŠ
Very quickly, Huang Xiaolong had bet correctly for ten consecutive rounds!
The initial 10-buck poker chip in front of him had transformed into a huge pile, within which there were many chips of the highest denomination at 5000 bucks.
Huang Xiaolong placed his bet each time without a moment of hesitation. Moreover, he went all-in for every bet and pushed all the poker chips out no matter how many were before him!
He won every bet without a single loss!
This was crazy!
All the gamblers at the table dared not play anymore and watched Huang Xiaolong fearfully. Quite a few other gamblers also gathered around the table.
âOh my God, how incredible. He had bet correctly for ten consecutive rounds and have probably won hundreds of thousandsâŠâ
âThis guy only used a ten-buck poker chip and won so much money within ten minutesâŠhow domineering! My idol!â
âHe must be a professional gambler!â
âIs he here to wreak havoc? Letâs stay away so we donât get dragged into this mess.â
âŠ
The card dealerâs face had turned pale and sweat dripped down her forehead. She looked at Huang Xiaolong imploringly. If Huang Xiaolong were to continue winning at the gambling table that she was responsible for, she feared that she would lose her job.
âXiaolongâŠyouâŠyouâŠyou are unbelievableâŠâ Su Xiaoman fumbled over her words.
âSis Xiaoman, I will soon be able to help you pay off all the money you owe Brother Tiger,â Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily. âIâve had enough of Baccarat, letâs play dice.â
Halfway speaking, Huang Xiaolong stood up and sorted out the poker chips before him, piling them onto a tray. Then, he picked up a 1000-buck poker chip and flicked it. The poker chip cartwheeled through the air and landed squarely on the pretty dealerâs round and full cleavage.
âSis dealer, use that to buy yourself a new blouse,â Huang Xiaolong said as he flashed a smile.
A shiver crept up the pretty dealerâs spine, she glanced at Huang Xiaolong in a momentary daze.
Huang Xiaolong brought Su Xiaoman to a dice gambling table.
Trailing behind was a crowd of onlooking gamblers.
In the computer room on the second floor.
Chaos!
Utter chaos!
âF*ck! Whatâs going on? What exactly is going on?â Brother Tigerâs eyes were bulging. His sight was glued to Huang Xiaolong through the surveillance camera screen. âHeâŠhow was it possible for him to win ten rounds consecutively?â
âBrother Tiger, weâŠwe fear we have met a true proâŠâ One of the smarter staff members in the computer room said distractedly. âJust nowâŠjust now he must have observed the machineâs patternâŠonce he found the pattern, he couldâŠhe could win every single round like a hot knife through butterâŠalsoâŠBrother Tiger, lookâŠlook at him, his expression is scarily calm, his eyes like still water. He has already won a lot, butâŠbut he does not appear even the least bit excited after winning the money. ThisâŠthis is a type of behavior; it is said that a true professional gamble can put on a poker face and keep a steady heart no matter how much money is won or lost, unfazed even if the sky were to collapseâŠâ
âShut up!â Brother Tigerâs voice shook slightly, his expression was somewhat malevolent.
This casino was loaded, but the real boss behind the scenes was not Brother Tiger. He was merely in charge of the casinoâs operational matters, with the side-job as a loan shark.
If the casino were to suffer severe losses, he would be in deep trouble!
âMotherf*cker! You hillbilly, you have been playing dumb all this time, f*cking teaming up with this b*tch Su Xiaoman to set me up!â Brother Tiger raged, staring daggers. âI want you dead! I want you all dead!â
âBrother TigerâŠthe rules of the casino do notâŠdo not permit the use of violenceâŠâ A staff member reminded him. âBrother Tiger, we canât ruin our reputationâŠotherwise, who will dare gamble here in the future?â
âBullsh*t! Do you think Iâm not aware of the rules? Get Fourth Brother Yin over here this instant! Quickly!â Brother Tiger thundered.
Huang Xiaolong sauntered to a dice gambling table with Su Xiaoman. Several gamblers were playing at this table, and all of them sprang to their feet, retreating like they were avoiding trouble.
Huang Xiaolong sat down, unaffected.
A young woman dealer around thirty years of age shook the chest which contained three dice.
There were many methods to place bets; one could bet big or small, the odds of which are both 1-to-1.
In addition to that, one could bet on the three dice total, the odds of which are higher.
If one were to bet correctly on a leopard (TN: a leopard refers to any triple), the odds were up to a staggering 33-fold. Naturally, it was extremely rare to roll out even one leopard out of one hundred rolls.
âSis dealer, you can start shaking the chest,â Huang Xiaolong nodded with a smile at the young woman dealer, before unwrapping another piece of chocolate and putting it into his mouth to chew slowly on it.
The young woman dealer took a deep breath, composed herself then started shaking the dice chest speedily, causing the dice to collide with the inner walls of the chest, creating dense pitter-patter sounds like rain falling upon plantain.
As she was shaking the dice, Huang Xiaolongâs ears twitched slightly.
More than ten seconds later, the young woman dealer had finished shaking the dice and placed the dice chest on top of the gambling table. She stared at Huang Xiaolong and said, âPlease place your bet.â
âI know, Sis dealer.â Huang Xiaolong laughed innocuously before pouring all the poker chips on the tray onto the betting area labeled â11â.
If one were to bet correctly on 11, the odds were 1-to-7.
Huang Xiaolong had around 4 or 500 thousand bucks worth of poker chips, which also meant that if he were to win the bet this round, he would win 2 or 3 million bucks at the very least!
No one had ever seen a high roller like him at Brother Tigerâs casino before!
All the onlooking gamblers held their breaths!
Sweat ran down the young woman dealerâs face, ruining her makeup. She did not know herself what combination she had rolled out.
âThe speed at which I shake the chest has never been slow; if he were to bet big or small, heâd still have a fifty percent probability of winningâŠhowever, he bet straight-up on the total, his chances of winning are close to impossible!â The young woman pulled herself together.
âSis dealer, open it.â Huang Xiaolong grinned.
The gamblers to the side started clamoring, âOpen it! Open it! Open it! Open it!â
âOKâŠâ The young woman dealer placed her hand upon the dice chest.
Su Xiaoman was so nervous she could hardly breathe. She clasped her hands together in a prayer pose.
It opened!
2-3-6!
11 in total!
He had won!
There was pin-drop silence around the gambling table!
âHehe,â Huang Xiaolong appeared laid-back, âSis Xiaoman, Iâve won a million bucks already! I can help you pay back the money you owe Brother Tiger.â
âYouâve wonâŠyouâve wonâŠI no longerâŠno longer have to live in fearâŠworried that Brother Tiger would come after me to chase up the unpaid debtâŠâ Tears poured down Su Xiaomanâs face as she choked with emotion. She looked at Huang Xiaolong tenderly.
The young woman dealer was so shocked that her soul seemed to have left her body. She froze in place like a statue, her back soaked in cold sweat.
âSis dealer, quick, pay me my poker chips,â Huang Xiaolong prompted.
Right at this moment, a somber male voice sounded aloud. âPay him the poker chips. We open our doors to do business. A win is a win, a loss is a loss. We can afford to lose this bit of money.â
Huang Xiaolong felt a flicker of interest and looked toward the source of the voice only to see that it was a scrawny man of around forty years of age who had spoken.
This guy had a ghastly appearance. He was around 1.8 meters in height and was as thin as a bamboo stick. His cheeks were sunken, his complexion pallid. Under a dim light at night, at first glance, he would have looked more or less like a zombie and would scare people out of their wits.
Brother Tiger, Brother Earthworm, and their lackeys all trailed behind this zombie man.
âF*ck, hillbilly, you and this b*tch Su Xiaoman set me up! Youâve got guts!â Brother Tigerâs expression was livid, looking as though he wanted to skin Huang Xiaolong alive.
However, Huang Xiaolong did not pay Brother Tiger any attention at all. He looked at the zombie man with deep interest, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Huang Xiaolong saw that crouched upon the zombie manâs left shoulder was a five or six-month-old baby with bruises covering its entire body. The baby was glaring fiercely at Huang Xiaolong with haunted eyes filled with venom!
Of course, no one else in the room, including the zombie man himself could see this baby.
âRearing a little ghostâŠhehe, interestingâŠâ Huang Xiaolong shook his head lightly.
This baby was an evil spirit reared by humans and could bring a certain degree of good fortune to them.
A wooden plaque made from willow wood hung from the zombie manâs neck; willow wood absorbed spirits. A small evil figure was carved onto the surface of the wooden plaque which emitted a wisp of ghostly aura, forming a connection with the little ghost crouched upon the zombie manâs shoulder.
Rearing little ghosts was a type of demonic arts used to control spirits, extremely prevalent in Hong Kong Island. Those who were rich and had social status would acquire little ghosts at any cost to help themselves advance their careers and become even richer.
Little ghosts could also function as spies and reported to you some things you wanted to know.
However, the little ghost crouched upon the zombie manâs shoulder had too much resentment. The so-called good fortune was obtained through absorbing resentment; good fortune with resentment. The little ghost fed on the spirit of the zombie man. Over time, the zombie manâs bodily essence would eventually dry up and he would end up dead.
âBrother Tiger, Iâll pay you back the 1 million bucks I owe you now. The gambling debt is settled by gambling.â Huang Xiaolong said happily to Brother Tiger.
âYou! Not so easy!â Brother Tiger raged.
âHehâŠfriend, this set-up of yours is too devious.â The zombie man said ominously. âWith your gambling skill, you didnât have to come here to make moneyâŠforget it, itâs meaningless for you to gamble with a machine. Machines are dead, while humans are alive. Iâm Yin Four, and I want to experience your gambling skill.â
âAh? You want to gamble with me?â Huang Xiaolong shook his head at once. âActually, I hate to gamble. Money won through gambling are ill-gotten gains. If one keeps spending this kind of money, one will have a shorter lifespan. The reason why Iâm here today isnât to win money, rather itâs to help Sis Xiaoman pay back the money.â
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolongâs words, the onlooking gamblers to the side felt disapproval in their hearts. âHe doesnât want to win money? Motherf*cker, arenât you pretentious to a fault!â
âFriend, our casino is open to doing business. We arenât afraid of you coming here to gamble, neither are we afraid of you winning money. We never do anything out of line, howeverâŠâ Fourth Brother Yinâs eyes flashed with a touch of fierceness. He continued, âNow that youâve won, you want to leave. Iâm afraid, isnât that a bit too out of line with our rules?â
Huang Xiaolong felt like he was getting a slight headache. War waged inside his head for quite some time before he finally muttered, âForget it, Iâll play several rounds more then, at worst Iâll send all the money I win back to the village for the village chief to build a school. Building a school is a huge virtue, it can offset the bad luck brought by ill-gotten gainsâŠâ

âThenâŠalrightâŠwhat do you want to play with me?â Huang Xiaolong looked at Fourth Brother Yin reluctantly.
âLetâs play mahjong,â Fourth Brother Yin said. His eyes brewed with a hint of conspiracy.
âOhâŠalright, letâs play mahjong then.â Huang Xiaolong agreed readily.
He looked at the little ghost crouched upon Fourth Brother Yinâs shoulder. It was clear to him then.
This guyâs biggest advantage was none other than making use of the little ghostâs spying function to spy on other peopleâs mahjong tiles during the game.
