Chapter 046 Impressive Achievements
"Wow..." Everyone was astonished as they looked at Xiao Han.
This plainly dressed young man had quite a background, didn't he? The crowd, which had initially looked at Li Dapang with disdain, now regarded him with admiration and reverence.
The manager personally handed ten thousand chips to Xiao Han and repeatedly apologized, "Sir, I am truly sorry. I represent all the staff of the Grand Lisboa Hotel in apologizing to you."
"Forget it!" Xiao Han waved his hand.
The farce ended, and the security was summoned back to the office, facing termination. Both were chilled to the bone. Working as a security guard at the hotel was a well-paid job. Not only could they earn a high salary, but they also received quite a lot of tips.
They could make over twenty thousand a month, more than many white-collar workers earned, and the job was easy with a comfortable environment. Where else could one find such a job?
Li Dapang followed Xiao Han all the way.
"Xiao Han, what did you just... take?" Li Dapang hurriedly asked.
"Just a pass," Xiao Han smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the pass Snakehead gave us in the car?"
"What's the use of that thing?" Li Dapang hurriedly asked, "I didn't expect us to earn ten thousand, wow."
"This thing is no small matter, it can be used to show off in this casino!" Xiao Han chuckled.
Xiao Han's specialty was Baccarat.
Baccarat, known as Baccarat, meaning "zero" in Italian, originated from a card game in France and became popular in casinos across Europe. In the twentieth century, Mr. Ye Han introduced Baccarat from the United States to Macau and gave it an Eastern-flavored name—Baccarat. To this day, Baccarat remains one of the most popular gambling games in casinos worldwide.
In Macau's casinos, the number of Baccarat tables is the highest in the world.
Of course, Baccarat is also the fairest game in the casino, least likely to be controlled by the house. Because of this, this game has become one of the hottest games in casinos.
In the hall, there were several Baccarat tables.
Xiao Han chose a busy one as more people indicated good morale. Although Xiao Han was not superstitious, he did believe somewhat in Feng Shui. A crowd meant better Feng Shui for the table. Xiao Han also hoped to court good luck, not wanting to go back completely broke.
The area around the table was packed, but Xiao Han, tall and strong, seized the opportunity to squeeze in.
A Banker hand had just started.
Xiao Han smiled and tentatively placed a hundred on the Banker. Everyone else also placed their bets.
The dealer dealt the cards. The Banker had eight points, and the Player had three.
Once again, the Banker won.
Xiao Han got two hundred chips. The Banker's spirits were high, and people increasingly placed their bets on the Banker. Xiao Han followed suit.
Initially, Xiao Han's bets weren't large, all one hundred chips, as he needed to figure out the opponent's tactics first. Baccarat was called the fairest game because its cards were fixed. As long as the cards were fixed, Xiao Han had a way to calculate the probabilities for the Banker and the Player.
After more than ten rounds, Xiao Han took a deep breath. He directly placed twenty thousand chips on the Player.
"Kid, there have already been three consecutive Bankers. You better bet on the Banker," an uncle nearby laughed.
"Only a hundred left!" Li Dapang fiddled with the two fifty-value chips in his hand.
"No worries, let's head to the third floor!" Xiao Han said with a grin.
"That much?!" Li Dapang immediately noticed the 100,000-value chip in Xiao Han's hand. There were also seven or eight 10,000 chips.
"Yeah." Xiao Han nodded, saying, "You can only make big money on the third floor."
"Okay." Hearing that there was big money to be made, Li Dapang naturally followed Xiao Han.
The elevator to the third floor was located to the front right of the entrance in the hall; Xiao Han and Li Dapang walked straight there. At the elevator door, two security guards stood watch.
After the previous ruckus, the guards recognized Xiao Han and Li Dapang, whose appearances were too distinct not to notice. Li Dapang, dressed in a gray leather jacket and wearing a pair of cheap leather shoes, looked completely destitute. Xiao Han wore a brand-new tracksuit, all black, with a pair of new Nike sneakers and a black duckbill cap on his head.
He looked young and vibrant but hardly affluent.
Without stopping them, the guards directly led them into the elevator and then took them up to the third floor.
The third floor was much less crowded and quieter.
The space on the third floor was large, with many tables and a variety of gambling games. Besides baccarat, there were also Pai Gow and mahjong, and even Dou Dizhu.
Every person who came up was attended by a beautiful woman. As Xiao Han and Li Dapang entered the hall, a row of girls in sexy outfits bowed to them and with a sensual, soft smile said, "Gentlemen, welcome to the Grand Lisboa Casino."
"You can pick one!" the guard said with a smile.
"No need, thank you!" Xiao Han politely declined.
Li Dapang, however, looked at the scene before him with an excited smile, seeming very spirited. His eyes gleamed with excitement. The sexy ladies in front of him instantly aroused the desires in his heart. Hearing Xiao Han's refusal, he immediately felt a great loss.
Xiao Han walked straight into the hall.
"Xiao Han, since we're here, why not have a good time?" Li Dapang hastily said.
"You think these women are free for you to enjoy?" Xiao Han scoffed coldly, "The casino's people aren't fools, they definitely won't indulge in a losing business!"
"Then... why?" Li Dapang asked, bewildered.
"These women by your side will only stir up your inner impulses, making you very irrational," Xiao Han said with a faint smile. "Since it's gambling, you should definitely have a cool head and very sharp thinking. Do you think you can stay calm with a beautiful, sexy woman by your side?"
"Shit, this casino is really scheming, huh?" Li Dapang said, suddenly understanding the logic.
Imagine, in Macau, getting a woman like that would cost at least over a thousand, right? Just think, why would the casino arrange for such a beautiful woman for you? As the saying goes, you can't make wool from nothing; this money still has to be taken from the gamblers.
After grasping this, Li Dapang muttered under his breath, "This is really underhanded; they are indeed tricky businessmen."
In the casino, most of the gamblers had a beautiful, sexy woman accompanying them.
Xiao Han walked around the gambling area on the third floor. Most of those seated here were betting fiercely. Baccarat there started from 50,000. Xiao Han felt a little terrified. If it were up to him, he definitely wouldn't be confident. To win at baccarat, even with a strong mind like Xiao Han's, he needed to assess the situation and follow several rounds to be sure and have a chance.
Let alone follow a dozen or so rounds, Xiao Han couldn't afford to lose even four or five rounds; once he lost, he wouldn't have any chance to turn back.
