The best way to get a casino's attention, both prominently and quickly, is to start with Sic Bo.
This is because in card games, the outcome of every hand remains uncertain and unclear until the moment the dealer reveals the cards.
This situation arises entirely from the proportion of chips on the table.
The true probability of winning or losing for the Banker and the Player originates from this.
As the Banker, the casino's strategy is always to kill more than they fill, supplemented by occasional big payouts that break the bank.
Don't believe the rumors out there that casinos are absolutely fair and just, and can profit solely by taking a commission.
If they relied only on commissions for profit, they wouldn't even have enough to pay the salaries of their staff!
A private casino, in addition to keeping a large staff on standby, also incurs massive expenses to maintain relationships.
Otherwise, who would risk their position to provide escort services for you?
After all expenses, the owner still needs to make money, right? They need to buy luxury cars and villas to enjoy, don't they?
Of course, how much they earn can be completely controlled.
Therefore, many establishments focus heavily on card games.
Anyone with experience knows that when playing card games in a casino, the probability of winning or losing between the casino as the Banker and the player as the Player is never equal.
The Banker's winning probability always fluctuates around 2 percentage points higher than the Player's.
However, among all gambling games, Sic Bo is the only one where the win-loss probability is truly fifty-fifty... 48.61%!
Whether you bet on big or small, the probability of winning or losing is 48.61%!
In a legitimate Sic Bo game, there is no concept of betting on Banker or Player.
The casino is the Banker, and the gambler is the Player.
The Player bets, and the Banker accepts.
You can bet on big or small, odd or even, or specific combinations or triples. The Player cannot bet on the Banker, nor can they bet on a "tie" like in card games!
If you win, the Banker pays; if you lose, the Player loses. It's that simple, direct, and brutal!
Some people will surely say, then playing Sic Bo can avoid being skimmed by the casino, right?
Naive! Wishfully naive!
Do you know why the probability of winning or losing is 48.61%? Where did the missing 1.39% go?
What about all those who lost? The commission in Sic Bo doesn't need to be obvious!
It's not impossible that some small establishments might cheat, but at least in the legitimate casinos I've seen, this has never happened.
And most importantly, in some regions, if the Banker rolls a triple from 1 to 6, they can take all the Player's bets for that round!
Unless you happened to bet on that specific triple, but the probability of a triple is only 0.46%. Do you think that's possible?
Precisely because of this, the odds for betting on certain specific combinations in Sic Bo are also unimaginably high!
For example, for triples, the payout is 1 to 180!
So, if you want to try your luck at the casino and make a small fortune, Sic Bo is the most suitable game... bar none!
...
A starting capital of a hundred yuan is perfect for making a splash in Sic Bo.
At the table I'm at, there are at least ten gamblers placing bets.
They aren't betting on special combinations, just the simple and direct big/small and odd/even.
In this round, after the dealer had placed the dice in the cup and announced "Place your bets," I didn't make a move, but quietly observed...
The gamblers who had placed heavy bets stared intently at the dice cup, shouting "Big, big," "Odd, odd" with excited anticipation.
Everyone waited with bated breath for the moment fate would be revealed.
When the dealer opened the dice cup.
There was a moment of silence at the table, followed by an explosion of cheers.
Among those who bet, the winners roared with excitement, while the losers pounded their chests and cursed.
The brilliance of human nature behind money was magnified at this moment, illuminating the deepest parts of everyone's soul!
Indeed, greed is a voracious beast!
Seeing someone dejectedly leave, I smoothly squeezed my way to the table and sat down, ready to put on a show...
After the chips were paid out, the dealer picked up the dice cup and began to shake it with a show of professionalism.
I didn't act rashly. Instead, I listened intently, waiting for the dealer to place the dice and announce "Place your bets" before deciding to place my own wager.
"Place your bets" is a phrase with hidden meaning.
Let me risk revealing it.
In legitimate establishments, "Place your bets" doesn't just refer to the Player.
These four words can be broken down.
"Place your bets" implies that the Player can freely bet within the designated areas on the table.
As for "hands off," it means the dealer's hands can no longer move and must be held flat above the dice cup, not on its sides!
Do you know why?
It's for the casino to demonstrate fairness, justice, and transparency to the gamblers.
I'm not sure if this is done so legitimately in our country, but it's certainly the practice in Macau and Hong Kong.
The fancy moves like kicking switches to change the dice, seen in movies like "God of Gamblers" and "God of Fortune," only exist in disreputable small casinos.
Whether it's true or not, it's in people's hearts...
This first round, to make a strong opening, is crucial. After listening to the dice inside the cup and confirming the dealer had released the cup, I threw my hundred-yuan chip directly onto the specific combination "3-4-5," totaling 12 points.
Betting a hundred yuan on a specific combination is a typical long-shot gamble.
After many people glanced over, their eyes immediately showed disdain and mockery.
Not a single person followed my bet on the long shot.
This is normal.
If you're going to gamble on a long shot, why not bet on the highest paying triple (i.e., the leopard series)? If you win, wouldn't the payout be much higher than my 12 points?
Therefore, they prefer to trust their intuition and judgment and bet on triples.
"Place your bets, reveal, reveal, reveal~"
"Three, four, five, twelve points, Big!"
The moment the dice cup was revealed and the dealer announced the numbers, everyone froze in unison.
Stunned, with expressions of disbelief!
It seemed they couldn't accept the reality of me hitting a specific combination with just 100 yuan.
But upon seeing the 6x payout, they all relaxed.
100 yuan multiplied by 6 is only 600, which wouldn't cause much of a stir.
I ignored their gazes, calmly taking the winning chips from the dealer.
Then, I lit a cigarette and calmly waited for the next round...
[PS: I won't go into detail about the Sic Bo payouts here, as the probability of each different combination varies, and thus the payouts will also vary, some higher and some lower. If you're interested, you can search for it yourself.]
Second round.
After the dealer said "Place your bets," I placed all 700 yuan, including the principal and winnings, on the specific combination "1-1-2," totaling 4 points.
