Chapter 50 – Onboard Casino (3)
Seo Ji-yu, who returned to the gambling hall, was able to get involved in the table game thanks to the consideration of the shop.
She tactfully slipped into the crowd of staring people and started gambling with blackjack.
As I said before, it doesn’t look very good.
It is a level where you know the rules and have a little bit of know-how.
“Stay! Ah…”
‘I’ll be robbed soon.’
If you pick it up here, you can take it with you.
I clicked my tongue inwardly and turned my gaze to another table.
If you play directly with the casino, it goes without saying that the casino side has a higher win rate…
Because it is a fairly rare gambling hall, the fees are set quite high.
The minimum and maximum stakes are also higher than average.
There are not a few guests who came to play with a sense of tourism, but most of them are gambling addicts who are already standing on top of a cliff.
Some of them were already borrowing money from private moneylenders.
Even the casino side didn’t interfere with it.
If you lose all your money and leave, it’s a nobleman, but…
If you start to get into debt like that… If you start borrowing it, the world will turn into hell.
Although Kangwon Land was previously mentioned, it is by no means comparable to it.
There is only one thing that this onboard casino is better than Kangwon Land. It’s just the level of drinks that are handed out for free.
Seo Ji-yu, who had been losing with excitement, began to roll his head and bet in his own way.
You double your bet right after the game you lose with the minimum bet is over.
‘Is it Martingale Betting Corporation… Where have you seen it?’
Martingale.
A strategy where if you lose money, you double your money and keep betting until you win.
I was in the mood to scold her, but I quietly sipped my drink.
Seo Ji-yu, who lost the first double, then bet four times.
Bet 4x, then 8x. 8 times, then 16 times…
Seo Ji-yu’s skills were also not good, so the win rate was much lower than 50%.
Still, I couldn’t lose forever, so I won in 32 times.
But… What actually came into her hands was a pittance.
The natural logic of 1+2+4+8+16 = 31.
The total she has lost so far is 31 of the minimum bet, but she barely won at 32, so her profit is 1 in the end.
It was only then that Seo Ji-yu realized the disadvantages of the martingale betting method.
The martingale betting method is much worse than you think.
In order to reap a clear benefit from the Martingale betting method, after winning in this way, you must raise the stakes sharply and win once more to win a streak.
Seo Ji-yu bet 64 times the minimum with slightly trembling hands.
Now, the bet per round is close to 1,000,000 won!
At this point, the other guests are watching with great interest.
It would be nice if the beginner’s luck followed here… Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
Seo Ji-yu, who blew away 64 times in an instant and bet 128 times, realized the second difficulty belatedly.
If you win here, you’ll get 128 – 64, which is 64 times the minimum bet.
In other words, it is about 100 million won.
However, what if we lose here?
There is a lot of military funding left… But you can’t bet 256 times as you have done so far.
Her bet was already approaching the maximum bet.
“Tch… Stay!”
However, the result is defeat!
Rather, I thought it was fortunate that I lost.
Seo Ji-yu placed the maximum bet as it was and was taken away again.
I prepared 2,000 military funds each, so I still had a lot of chips left, but the money was gone in an instant.
“Profit…”
Seo Ji-yu, who ran away from the blackjack table, occupied an empty poker table just in time.
It is not a casino, but if you play against other guests, you might be able to win.
Fortunately, the faces of the customers who occupied the same table as her were much brighter than at blackjack.
Seo Ji-yu was a wealthy and immature hukou.
I said, pretending to give her chips for a while.
“Aren’t you enjoying it too comfortably because it’s not your money?”
“Oh, no. Here, if we use the martingale betting method…”
“Are you an idiot? How do you use a martingale in a poker game where a raise goes every time you draw a card? What do you do when your opponent folds?”
“Ah…”
This guy has already lost half of his taste in the excitement of gambling.
Originally, he wasn’t this stupid…But it’s common in gambling tables.
I let her lose some more money and then dragged her out in due time.
In the end, today’s loss was about 6 million won.
“You must go.”
“Oh, no. Just a little more…”
“Then stay here. I’m going.”
Seo Ji-yu, who followed me with chips, came to her senses while breathing in the cool sea breeze.
It seemed that his body and head, which had been heated by gambling, had barely cooled down.
“I’m sorry, chief. I completely forgot about the investigation in the middle…”
“It was a great performance. No one would have known that you belonged to the Special Forces.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I really wanted to hit you.”
“…”
Seo Ji-yu, who was slightly happy, shrank belatedly.
Anyway, the investigation was successful.
Thanks to Seo Ji-yu’s method acting, I was able to take a quick look at the people who entered the hunter-only area as well as the general area.
Once you have these ingredients, it’s up to you whether you want to bake or boil.
Seo Ji-yu, who was carefully looking at me, asked in a crawling voice.
“So, so. What are you going to do?”
“It’s much bigger than expected. Customers are lined up. The ship is practically a crime factory.”
“Then…”
“Let’s investigate. I don’t think it will be too difficult.”
If you’re openly selling it like that, there are so many ways to temper it, it’s to the point of worrying.
As I got into the car, I made up my mind to do just one thing.
“I don’t know anything else, but it makes me feel the sadness of losing my country.”
“Oh my gosh.”
Returning home late at night, I gave instructions to Kim Jeong-tae and went up to the house.
When I entered the house in a tired mood, I saw not only Yeriel, but also Alice and Tia.
The three seemed to be getting along quite well, but Tia was still terrified.
As soon as he heard the sound of the front door opening, he came running.
“Master, welcome!”
“Oh. Are you alive?”
“It was pretty close.”
As Tia quickly hid behind my back, Yeriel approached with a thin smile.
She grabbed him and asked before sending Tia down to the room.
“You really don’t know where the white hair is, right?”
“Yes, of course! Shall I act as bait?”
“It’s okay, so go to sleep. You’ll come with me tomorrow too.”
“Yes!”
White hair all of a sudden… It’s a bit embarrassing.
Tia nodded eagerly and quickly disappeared.
I roughly explained tomorrow’s schedule to Alice while biting into the snacks Yeriel prepared.
“I’ll finish the shipboard gambling case tomorrow.”
“So fast?”
“It’s not worth protracting for a long time. I tried reconnaissance, but it’s a complete mess. I can’t leave it alone.”
“Shall I go too?”
I was slightly taken aback by Yeriel’s question.
“No. You’ve never been to a gambling house, have you?”
“Yes. Is it something that requires gambling experience?”
“That’s not true. Taking your wife to a gambling house is a little… Not at all like going out to play.”
Casinos usually allow smoking indoors, and this onboard gambling venue is no exception.
Since it is an enclosed space, no matter how hard you try to purify the air, the cigarette ash and the unique smell do not disappear.
In addition, the atmosphere is not very good as it is a place where gambling addicts keep their eyes open.
Just looking at Seo Ji-yu right now, I almost got snatched.
When Yeriel was strangely pleased and convinced, I quickly added to Alice next to me.
If he doesn’t say one more word here, he will definitely get angry.
“Actually, I didn’t want to take you either…”
“Late.”
Alice grumbled a little, but smiled.
“So, what’s the plan?”
“If you go, you’ll know. In fact, there’s nothing really special about it.”
We finished the day and returned to the office early the next morning.
Tia bowed her head in greeting to her office family her.
“Hi, hello, hello! Here comes Tia, the master’s faithful servant, the bottom of the office caste!”
“Stop talking nonsense and sit down.”
“Yep!”
Still, I’m glad you like your new job.
The guy saw Alice tapping on her smart phone her, and she groaned all day until the end of the day.
“Hey… Can I use just one of these?”
“Does it make sense?”
Alice’s cold reaction was overshadowed.
I opened the desk drawer that was locked with a key.
Then, regardless of the latest and old models, smartphones came out in a rush.
“Choose one.”
“Eh. I, really? I just said it…”
“What is it? You don’t need it?”
“No! Thank you, Master.”
While Tia writes down her tears and picks up her smartphone her.
Alice stared at me.
I’m not blaming Tia for giving her smartphone her.
“Wait, this can’t be…”
“Of course it’s a cannon phone.”
“Oh My God.”
Tia, who was diligently rummaging through her drawer her, took out an iPhone with an intact screen.
“I like this!”
“Come on, give me a second.”
After taking measures to prevent him from calling anyone other than me or writing anything on the Internet, he handed it over to me and roughly taught me how to use it.
By the time it’s time to get off work.
I finally announced today’s overtime number.
“From now on, the person called is on a night business trip.”
“Leave it to me! What should I do with the concept today? Same as yesterday?”
“No. I’m not wearing a disguise today. Jiyu-san doesn’t have to go in the first place.”
“Yes?”
Seo Ji-yu trembled as if she felt a bit unfair.
But today you don’t need to wear a disguise, and you shouldn’t.
I explained the reason while calling Alice, Tia, and Kim Jeong-tae.
“Anyway, the onboard casino itself is a legal gray area. Even if you prosecute, there is no guarantee that you can win.”
“So, what about the guests?”
“Customers add more. Even if they are caught for habitual gambling, they will be released soon anyway, and the hunters may or may not be recognized as habitual gambling.”
In the first place, will gambling addicts get better if they are caught once?
If they were so easily treatable, they wouldn’t have visited such a questionable gambling house.
“So I’m thinking of teaching you.”
“Teach me?”
“In gambling, the stronger one is bound to win. If you show it right once, you might change your mind.”
I got up from my seat not expecting too much.
Strangely excited, Tia followed me, holding Alice’s hand her and wagging her tail her.
