my old life

Chapter 2458 Invisible Order

As time passed, Mike and Alex were enjoying themselves, as if they were enjoying the betting process.

I have gambled many times before, and I have also played baccarat with various strange rules, but never once on the table of a regular casino.

I can't tell why I'm a little repelled, maybe I'm used to controlling everything by myself instead of letting luck control everything.

"Are you waiting for a big bet? Casinos are always welcome." Mike said with a smile, but I was a little curious.

"Oh? And this?"

"Of course, casinos never turn down big bettors, or even prefer them."

"Isn't the red limit just to prevent re-betting?" I asked curiously, which seemed to conflict with my previous cognition.

"Winning and losing in baccarat is basically divided equally. Most people win and lose less. They can see profits in a short period of time, but they will definitely lose after a long time."

Mike explained it to me, and it really made sense after careful consideration.

Most people will become more cautious after winning, and the bet will become smaller, but after losing money, the bet will become larger, and strive to win back in a short time.

One or two times may turn over the money, but over time and more times, the betting method of winning small and losing big will make people lose their money.

"There is no restriction on dragging the number, you can try a stud." Mike pointed to the croupier, indicating that he can request to drag the number.

"I have this plan." I joked, dragging a stud 500 million, I have never done such a crazy thing.

If it was in my hands I might try it, but at this table I would never try it because stud is extremely stressful.

If I win, a hook will be planted in my heart, and the feeling of winning money will be unforgettable for my whole life, and it will explode in my heart all the time.

If I lose, I will be unwilling to stay with me for the rest of my life, because people are unwilling to admit failure, let alone accept failure. I will only think of various ways to win back.

Whether I win or lose, I can't get the result I want. Regardless of whether I win or lose, I plant a seed in my heart. To me, the loss outweighs the gain.

After so many years in the rivers and lakes, I don't expect to get rich overnight, and I don't want to go back to before liberation overnight...

Because people will always overestimate their own self-control, and even underestimate the degree of greed.

In fact, betting is not the best choice for me, but not betting is the best choice.

Simply put, I don't need to win money in this kind of place, and I don't want to lose money in this kind of place.

I kept watching Mike and Alex bet, they won or lost and played very peacefully, Mike didn't invite me to bet with him again.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at the very familiar baccarat in front of me, but it felt so strange at the moment.

I used to play all my tricks at the gambling table and use all means to become stronger, but I never regarded gambling as entertainment and pastime, not even once!

As the saying goes, people who are greedy will surely die. I think I can live to this day, I should thank myself for not having too much greed.

Time passed slowly, and an hour passed before I knew it, and I didn't choose to bet once.

I bet five hundred pounds at the racetrack because I had no experience with horse racing, it was purely for the experience.

Playing differently now, this is the gaming table in a casino, looks the same but is completely different.

"Hawkeye, are you still thinking about Stud?" Mike joked, Alex looked at me in a daze, I smiled and waved my hand.

"No, I just don't want to bet."

As the saying goes, if you can endure loneliness, you can maintain prosperity. I have enough now, and I don't want or want to break this balance.

In fact, for the vast majority of gamblers, gambling means dissatisfaction with the status quo of life, and it also means wanting to break the pattern of life... Unfortunately, most people choose the wrong way.

Gambling is indeed a way to break the pattern of life, but what you get in return is definitely not a bright future, but an abyss of hell that has never been imagined.

For many gamblers, it is a dream, a desire, and a luxury to be able to return to the moment when they did not gamble!
In fact, there is only one kind of person in this world who wants to go back to the past, and that is the loser who is not as good as before.

Mike took me to a Taoist temple to gain peace of mind, He took me to Hell Hands to recruit soldiers, and took me to the opera to remind me...  

Everything he does has a purpose, but I can't see why he brought me to gamble. Before that, I made it clear that I would not treat my career as a hobby.

Mike knew I didn't like to gamble, but he still took me to the casino and paid back £500 million. What did he want?
In less than two hours, Mike lost a gambling card, and Alex won a little. I didn't calculate the exact amount.

Mike stretched his waist and lit a cigar. I subconsciously threw my gambling card over, and the 500 million quota remained unchanged.

Mike stretched out a finger to the croupier and asked for a chip. His face was as calm as ever, and he couldn't feel the slightest disturbance from him.

In Mike's eyes, I can't see the look that a gambler should have. No matter how much money he has, losing money is not as good as winning.

It seems that Mike doesn't care at all, but can a gambler really not care about winning or losing?

As the saying goes, winning a hundred is easier than earning a hundred, and losing a hundred is easier than winning a hundred!

Wait, I seem to understand the purpose of today's gamble.

500 million doesn't matter to Mike, but does it matter to me?of course not!
When I subconsciously threw the gambling card in front of me, Mike smiled lightly, and he didn't refuse or thank me.

In fact, to him, I am just a subordinate, and he is my boss, a boss who always says that we are friends.

In the past, my second uncle often said that when others are polite to you, you must not take it seriously. Once you take it seriously, you will really become ignorant.

It's his business for Mike to gamble, and it's my business for me to gamble. If I win, it's okay, but if I lose, should I let him cover it for me?

I already owe him so much, how can I let him cover the whole thing for me?

To put it bluntly, today's gamble was not prepared for me. After watching Les Miserables, I should change!

For a moment, I was glad that I didn't bet just now, and I was glad that I didn't break the rules, not to mention that Alex was still watching.

At the racetrack, I exchanged my own money for five hundred pounds. It didn't matter whether I won or lost. What's more, the money didn't belong to Mike!
It is very important to me that while I know Mike, the relationship between each other has not changed in essence!

When Mike invited me to bet, he used a teasing tone. Now it seems that he didn't really invite me to bet, but he was really joking.

He let me choose to stud by dragging the code, but why should I stud 500 million?It doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

For others, everything is easy to say, but it is different for Mike, because he does not lack the 500 million, what he needs is order!
I saw through everything but didn't tell the truth, pretending to be okay, but I will never forget the identities and gaps between each other.

In fact, when Mike took me to watch the musical, it was a reminder. This reminder showed his dissatisfaction. If he was satisfied, would he still remind me?
"Hawkeye, which one do you think is better to bet next time? I want Stud."

"I'm not good at this." I waved my hands again and again to express my understanding, and I would never give him any advice.

As the saying goes, a real gentleman is a real gentleman who watches chess without speaking, especially in a special place like a gambling table, it is definitely not thankful to give advice to others!

To put it simply, it has nothing to do with me if I win, but I have to take the blame for everything if I lose. This account is not worth it!
Not knowing what Mike said in English, he threw the betting card to Alex, then stood up and stretched.

I stood up together, and the hours passed quietly, and it was estimated that Mike was tired from playing.

Alex settled the gambling card and signed the bill, as if what he lost just now was not money, but I know they lost a lot of money.

Generally speaking, the mood after losing money is not very good. It is not a wise choice to provoke him at this time.

As the saying goes, when you don't know how to speak, then don't speak... because deliberate flattery may cause fire!
