Chapter 209 – Losing in a row!
Jason was led by Anita towards a roulette table.
This roulette table was already packed with people, and there was a seat on the side, so Anita took Jason over and sat down.
“Dear Miller, ever play the roulette table?” Anita asked with a smile.
Jason laughed and said, “Of course I’ve played. But it seems like every time I get to the end of the day, I come up empty-handed.”
“Is that so? Not tonight, oh.” Anita smiled.
Jason is indeed no stranger to roulette tables, which rotate on a spinning axis and are divided into 37 long, thin grooves.
The 36 channels are numbered 1 to 36 respectively, half are red and half are black. The other green channel is marked as 0 respectively.
Players can buy a single number or a combination of numbers on the table. When all players have placed their bets, the dealer will release a small ball, and whichever number it finally stops at, that number is the final result.
Players can bet in a variety of ways, they can bet on black or red numbers on the roulette wheel, or odd or even numbers, the odds for these are 1:1 odds, or they can bet on numbers 1-12, 13-24, 25-36, the odds are 2:1 this way, or they can bet on multiple number combinations, let’s say two, three, four, five number combinations, etc., the odds are The odds are much higher.
The highest odds are to bet on a single number, 0 to 36 numbers, let’s say betting on 0 numbers and the final ball of the wheel stops at exactly 0 numbers, that will give the highest odds of 35:1!
It can be said that roulette is a gambling game that relies purely on luck, in the senior casino, the dealer is not cheating, that the rotation of the roulette ball is not at all speculative, the player is also gambling on their own luck.
Jason used to play with the Satan Operation Group brothers in the casino, a little gambling for fun, but he basically lost every time he played the roulette table, just think they really do not have that luck.
Rather, Anita said to bring him to the roulette table to try his luck, and he didn’t refuse.
“Honey, what are you going to bet on? Bet on red or black numbers? Or even or odd numbers?” Anita asked.
“Let’s just bet on zero.”
Jason said casually, looking careless.
“Just a single number bet?” Anita asked.
“Yes!”
Jason said in an affirmative tone.
“Okay, how many chips to put in?”
“Put 100, 000 first.”
Jason said.
Anita is the one who put 100, 000 chips on the number zero.
The probability of winning a bet on a single number in a roulette table is only about 26%, a really low probability, and it is extremely rare for a gambler to win a single number.
Of course, if you win, the multiplier is enough to make you salivate, and that’s 35 times the odds.
Generally speaking, those who play roulette tables betting on a single number are mostly gamblers who have lost so much that they are about to run out of money, and finally, in order to get their money back in one fell swoop, they bet all their remaining chips on a single number, praying that they will get lucky and be able to win back with profit in one hand.
Often, the more you do this, the worse you lose.
The ball on the wheel began to turn, bones spinning several times, and finally stopped at the number 18.
This means that Jason has lost this round.
“FUCK!”
See this result, the side of a man could not help but roar, face angry iron blue and up, look like there is an urge to smash things.
“Hey man, how nice it would be if you kept betting on 18. You’ve been betting 18 for the first three times, but unfortunately, you’ve changed it to 28.” A man in a suit across the table spoke up, with a tone of regret.
“It is indeed a pity, but this is the casino, it changes rapidly, who knows what will happen next?” Another person spoke up.
The white man was full of irony. It turned out that he had previously been betting on 18, with each bet being 500, 000, and had bet 10 hands in a row, but after 10 hands, he suddenly changed it to 28.
As if by a quirk of fate, the 13th hand he bet on, which was this time, was really 18.
Otherwise, this bet, at 35 times the odds, would be $17. 5 million, a direct reversal of fortune.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs at the table, only winners and losers.
The second game started with Jason betting on number 0, and the bet was changed from 100, 000 to 200, 000. He seemed careless, and after betting he was chatting with Anita.
“How many years have you worked here?”
“Me?” Anita smiled and said, “It’s been almost three years. I never thought time would pass so quickly. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.”
“By your accent, you sound like a Frenchman?”
“Oh, you can even hear this? Indeed, I am from France. Since French is also spoken here in Morocco, there is no language barrier for me to come here. I’m curious, how did you hear it?”
“Haha, it’s easy, because French people speak English with an accent similar to yours, so I’m just guessing.”
Jason smiles.
As we speak, the second set has come to an end, and the little ball stopped on the number 7, so naturally Jason lost again.
In the third game, Jason continued to throw in 400, 000 towards the number 0, looking like he was planning to lose one game and then double up his chips in the next.
“So you go to France a lot?” Anita asked, during which she had the waiter bring a Blue Siren cocktail and handed it to Jason.
“Thanks.” Jason smiled, took a sip of the cocktail, and then said, “France is kind of a frequent visit. The most impressive is Bordeaux, where the taste of the wine is unforgettable.”
“That’s for sure. Bordeaux produces a lot of wine and many of the world’s most famous wine estates are in Bordeaux.” Anita smiles.
That’s when Jason lost the third game he bet on.
Jason, with his face as usual, lost 800, 000 in chips and bet on the number 0 again.
“I hope that the next time you go to France, I happen to be in France and I will take you to taste some wine and food.” Anita smiled.
“That was great.”
Jason smiled, noting that the blob in the fourth set was set on the number 30.
Jason counted 1. 6 million chips and bet on the number 0 again. He bet on the number 0 one after another and doubled each bet, which attracted the attention of the rest of the gamblers at the table as well as the lottery officials.
“That’s interesting, is this guy doubling up on his bets? The fifth hand is already 1. 6 million, I’m curious how many hands he can last. With such a doubling up of the bet, the tenth hand would be at least tens of millions. That’s a big hand.”
“The number 0 is very magical, I have seen a gambler, 1 million a hand bet 0, a total of 50 million chips all lost. I have also seen a gambler, 10 million chips lost only 1 million, bet 0 after betting on the bet, with interest earned back.”
“That depends on which category this gentleman falls into tonight.”
The gamblers sitting around spoke up one after another.
That little ball stopped in the fifth game and landed in the number 21 slot, and Jason naturally lost.
In this way, he has been left with 1. 9 million chips of his original 5 million, losing 3. 1 million on a five-handed bet.
“Dear Miller, I think it’s time for you to change your strategy, you can’t keep betting on the number 0.” At this point, Anita said.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Oh? Then tell me, how should I place my bet?”
Jason smiled, and those deep eyes fixed on Anita’s gorgeous, charming face.
