"Mr. Xiao, I'm not joking!" The casino manager looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Okay," Xiao Yao raised his hand and said, "I'm on the blacklist of the casino, and all poker items in the casino will no longer serve me, I understand! Is there anything else?"

"No," said the casino manager. "Given your star status, we welcome you to continue playing non-poker games."

"Actually, the accuracy of things like roulette can be improved through mathematical probability algorithms." Xiao Yao said leisurely.

"What?" The casino manager stared.

"It's nothing, just kidding!" Xiao Yao stood up with a smile and said, "I will leave the United States and Vegas soon! Now, can I leave here?"

"Of course!" The casino manager nodded, "Have a good time in Vegas!"

Xiao Yao left, and the three of them, including Nicky Thompson, naturally also left the office.

The purpose of coming to the casino has been achieved. Of course, Xiao Yao will not play other non-poker games. After leaving the office, he went straight to the chip exchange to exchange chips and left the casino. The three of them, Nicky Thompson and others, naturally also exchanged chips. Leave with Xiao Yao.

"Mr. Snow, how about the news?" After leaving the casino, Xiao Yao asked the reporter Bob Snow.

"It's too unbelievable." Bob Snow said excitedly, "If it's true, then as long as I send it out, it will definitely cause a sensation. I agree with what you just said to Mr. Dino , he doesn’t need to do anything, this news will definitely become a hot topic!”

"If this is true?" Nicky Thompson said, "Mr. Snow, you just saw and heard what the casino manager said with your own eyes!"

"Do you suspect that I colluded with that casino manager to deceive you?" Xiao Yao also said, "You won't let me take you to another few casinos, and repeat what happened just now?"

"Of course not." Bob Snow said, "I have no doubt that you are lying to me."

"However, the Los Angeles Times is the third most influential newspaper in the United States. It is not a gossip tabloid. Even if it is reporting entertainment news, we must ensure the authenticity. By the way, I don't think your matter is necessarily entertainment news. " Bob Snow continued, "Although I don't doubt that you conspired with that casino manager to deceive me, this matter is too unbelievable, so I think the newspaper will check it out. Of course, we will use I can find out in my own way, and I don’t need you to take me to the casino to see the casino manager.”

"Okay!" Xiao Yao shrugged indifferently. The thing is true, of course he is not afraid of reporters to verify it.

"Yang, how do you know how to count cards?" Nicky Thompson asked Xiao Yao after seeing Xiao Yao and Bob Snow finished talking.

Due to his status as a star, Nicky Thompson was wearing sunglasses when he entered the casino, and he basically didn't speak in the middle, so as not to be recognized by others. Now that he came out of the casino, Nicky Thompson could finally speak happily.

"Mr. Xiao, I also want to know!" Bob Snow said, "Besides this question, I have other questions I want to ask you. Can you accept my interview and let me improve my report?"

"Now?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Whenever is convenient for you," Bob Snow said, "but of course I hope the sooner the better!"

"Then now." Xiao Yao said, "Go to my room? The suite I live in has a living room."

Interviews and ordinary chats look different. In addition, looking at the curious faces of Matt Dino and Nicky Thompson next to them, it is estimated that they must be together. There are too many people in the coffee shop, or A more private place like Xiao Yao's room is more suitable.

"Of course!" Bob Snow said.

Matt Dino and Nicky Thompson immediately offered to listen in, but neither Xiao Yao nor Bob Snow refused, so Xiao Yao took the three of them upstairs.

Xiao Yao took out a few bottles of water from the mini refrigerator in the room, and everyone sat down on the big sofa in the living room.

Bob Snow formally took out his mobile phone and switched it to recording mode, placed it on the tea table between the two of them, and then asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you really know how to count cards?"

"You also heard just now that the people in the casino said that I can count cards. They have put me on the blacklist and refused me to participate in any poker projects in the casino." Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled.

"Then how did you have the ability to count cards?" Bob Snow continued to ask.

"Learned from others!" Xiao Yao said.

"Who?" Bob Snow asked.

"Of course they are other card counters." Xiao Yao said, "It is inconvenient for me to disclose their names without their consent, but what I can tell you is that they are from mit in the United States. In mit, there are It's not a secret in American casinos that there are card counting groups that specialize in blackjack."

"Mit?" Nicky Thompson on the side suddenly said, "No wonder I met you at the Boston airport. At that time, did you just learn card counting skills from mit?"

Xiao Yao looked at Nicky Thompson with a smile, and then at the cell phone in front of him.

"Ah~ I'm sorry!" Nicky Thompson reacted, and said to Bob Snow, "I interrupted your interview!"

"It doesn't matter!" Bob Snow shook his head. "This recording is just a record. I will sort it out later and will not release the audio of this interview, so it has no effect. In addition, what I told you and what you just asked The questions are also interesting, which enriches my interviews."

"Okay!" Nicky Thompson said about meeting Xiao Yao at the Boston airport.

However, Nicky Thompson only said that he met Xiao Yao in the coffee shop at the Boston Airport, and did not talk about the relationship between the two of them later, and the matter was quickly finished in a few words.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I just learned to count cards at that time. At that time, I was not doing divination, but testing my ability to memorize cards."

Now that Bob Snow said so, Xiao Yao continued to answer Nicky Thompson's question after she finished speaking.

"You're an acting star, how do you know Mit's card counter?" Bob Snow continued to ask.

"Why can't acting stars know people from mit?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Okay, my fault." Bob Snow said, "It's just that MIT is a top science and engineering institution in the United States and even the world, and you are an acting star. Generally speaking, the two will not overlap. .Well, even if you know people who are studying at mit, but as far as I know, card counting involves a lot of advanced mathematics knowledge, how can they be willing to teach you, and how can you master it so quickly?"

"You know that I learned it quickly?" Xiao Yao asked a little strangely.

"Before I came, I checked some news about you." Bob Snow said, "According to reports from the Chinese media, you filmed a drama series in China a few months ago, and that drama didn't finish until the end of June. Yes, you are the leading actor. So according to the time calculation, you should not stay in Boston for more than a week."

"That's true!" Xiao Yao nodded and continued with a smile, "Then have you checked? When I was in high school, I participated in the training and selection of the China Olympiad national team. My college entrance examination in China was similar In your SAT test in the United States, you got a full score in mathematics, and the total score ranked first in my city."

"You mean, you are a mathematical genius?" Bob Snow asked.

"I don't know if I'm a math genius." Xiao Yao said, "Huaxia's high school lasted three years, and I only studied in Huaxia for two years. The other year I was an exchange student in the United States. The year I attended the Oscars. I think, based on my grades and resume at that time, if I applied for mit, I should have a relatively high chance of getting an offer!"

"So, the mit card counters you know are your teammates when you participated in the training of the China Olympiad national team. They know that your mathematical ability or your talent in mathematics is enough to learn complex card counting techniques, so they will teach you Do you count cards?" Bob Snow said.

"When I was an international exchange student in the United States, many people in the school knew that I, an international exchange student from China, had participated in the training of the Chinese Olympiad national team and was good at mathematics." Xiao Yao deliberately misled, "After our Immortals band became popular, more people in the school knew about it."

Back then, there were not many people who participated in the same Mathematical Olympiad national team training camp with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao was not sure if Yan Ke and the others were the only ones who went to mit later, but there must not be many people. After this report comes out, it will definitely be passed back to China. If Xiao Yao admits, there may be media or netizens in both the United States and China to dig out Yan Ke and the three of them.

Speaking of this matter, it also involves personal desires. Xiao Yao didn't want people to think and investigate in that direction before getting the consent of the three of them, Yan Ke, and even the members of their card counting team. Xiao Yao knows that sometimes it’s not that he told reporters not to write it into the report, and the reporter would not write it, and in this case, he has said it out, and it’s not good to ask Bob Snow not to write this point into the report. On the contrary, it confirmed his guess from the side, so Xiao Yao deliberately misled him.

As for the West Bridge Middle School that Xiao Yao temporarily mentioned, Xiao Yao was a celebrity in the whole school when he was an exchange student. Westbridge Middle School is also a very high-quality high school in the United States. There should always be one of the three grades in the school who gets into mit.

"You mean, the person who taught you card counting was a classmate of yours when you were an international exchange student in the United States?" Bob Snow asked Xiao Yao, who was really led off.

"This~" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Until the person concerned agrees, it is not convenient for me to disclose it for the time being!"

Xiao Yao was just misleading, so he neither admitted nor denied it. If they contact Yan Ke and the others afterwards, they don't mind that their identity information may be exposed, and Xiao Yao can also contact Bob Snow to get the word back.

"Okay." Bob Snow nodded, no longer entangled in this question, and continued to ask another question, "However, a person like you who has achieved excellent results in acting can learn to count cards, let It is very, very unexpected and unbelievable that the casino blacklisted you. Can you tell me what is card counting and how do you count cards?"

"To put it simply, it is to use the mathematical knowledge of probability to establish a mathematical model, calculate the probability of big cards and small cards, and use this to judge the size of your winning odds. It will help you decide the amount of bet before the cards are dealt, It will also help you decide whether you want cards or not during the game." Xiao Yaodao, "Counting cards can only improve your overall winning rate, but it cannot guarantee that you will win every hand. Therefore, to play card counting, you must have It takes a long enough time and a sufficient number of hands to have an effect."

"As for the specific algorithm," Xiao Yao continued, "I don't think you are interested in those mathematical knowledge, mathematical formulas, and models."

"Are you trying to say that I don't understand?" Bob Snow laughed.

"No," Xiao Yao said, "maybe you don't understand it, but maybe you can understand it too. I just don't want the card counting method to become known to everyone, after all, it took a lot of time and effort for the card counting team The result is just made!"

"I understand!" Bob Snow nodded.

"Are there any other questions?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Can I ask questions that have nothing to do with card counting?" Bob Snow asked.

"Sorry, no!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "This interview with you is only for issues related to card counting."

"Alright then, I have no other questions." Bob Snow said, "Thank you for your time."

"Yan, you are such a monster!" Nicky Thompson said to Xiao Yao after seeing the end of Bob Snow's interview.

"Heh, you're not the first person to say that." Xiao Yao smiled.

Bob Snow looked at Xiao Yao, then at Nicky Thompson and Matt Dino, stood up and said to Xiao Yao: "Mr. Xiao, I have a lot of work to do, so I'll take my leave first. Thanks again You accept my interview."

"You're welcome." Xiao Yao stood up and shook hands with Bob Snow.

"Mr. Dino, thank you for giving me such a big news." Bob Snow looked at Matt Dino again and said, "You don't have to give me the reward you agreed before. Such breaking news , Many reporters couldn’t find it, I am not helping you or Mr. Xiao, but you are helping me!”

"Whatever!" Matt Dino waved his hand.

"Nicky, I have fulfilled what I promised you before," Xiao Yao looked at Nicky Thompson and Matt Dino and said, "You two should have satisfied your curiosity, so..."

"So, should we leave too?" Nicky Thompson laughed.

"Aren't we finished?" Xiao Yao nodded unceremoniously, "I can't find a reason for you to stay here."

"Wait!" Matt Dino said suddenly, "Jan, I have another question."

"Say it!" Xiao Yao waved his hand.

"Since you have the ability to count cards, why don't you raid more casinos?" Matt Dino said, "Vegas is not the only gambling city in this world. Atlantic City, Monaco, and even your horse city in China , are world-renowned casinos with legal casinos. The casinos in Vegas are connected to the Internet, but not all the casinos in the world are connected to the Internet. You are not on the blacklist of those casinos, and you have never thought about going to other places. Does the casino earn more votes?"

"If I still want to go to other casinos to count cards, will I ask Mr. Snow to report this through you?" Xiao Yao said, "Even if the blacklists between the casinos in several major casinos are not connected to the Internet, but this As soon as the news came out, the casinos in the gambling city also knew that I could count cards."

"Yeah!" Matt Dino said, "Even if you want to become famous through this incident, you can wait for you to scan all the casinos in those places and get on their blacklist before you find a reporter to break the news. The sensational effect caused will be even greater.”

"Because I'm not a professional gambler, and I don't take card counting as a career." Xiao Yao said, "Card counting is just one of my hobbies. I just do it for fun. It's included in the list of casinos in Vegas. The blacklist is enough to prove my card counting ability, and I have achieved my goal!"
