Chapter 1290

"Mr. Shaw, I'm not kidding!" The manager of the casino looks at Xiao Yaodao.

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

"No," said the manager of the casino. "In view of your star status, our casino welcomes you to continue playing those non poker events."

"In fact, roulette can also improve the accuracy through mathematical probability algorithm." Xiao Yao's leisurely way.

"What?" The manager of the casino glared.

"Nothing, just a joke!" Xiao Yao got up with a smile and said, "I will leave the United States and Vegas soon! Now, can I get out of here? "

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

Xiao Yao left, Nicky Thompson and other three naturally left the office.

The purpose of coming to the casino has been achieved. Of course, Xiao Yao won't play other non poker games any more. After leaving the office, he went straight to the chip exchange to change chips and left the casino. Naturally, Nicky Thompson and other three changed chips and left with Xiao Yao.

"Mr. Snow, what's the news like?" After leaving the casino, Xiao Yao asked the reporter, Bob snow.

"It's unbelievable." Bob Snow said excitedly, "if it's true, I'll make a sensation as long as I send it out. I agree with what you said to Mr. Dino just now. He doesn't need to do anything. This news will become a hot spot! "

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

"You suspect me of colluding with the casino manager to cheat you?" Xiao Yao also said, "you won't let me take you to other casinos again. How many times can I do that?"

"Of course not." Bob Snow said, "I don't suspect you're lying to me, either."

"However, the Los Angeles Times is the third most influential newspaper in the United States. It is not a tabloid. Even if it reports entertainment news, we should ensure its authenticity. By the way, I don't think you're entertainment news. " Bob snow continued, "although I don't doubt that you colluded with the casino manager to cheat me, the fact is so incredible that I think the newspaper will check it out. Of course, we will use our own way to verify. We don't need you to take me to the casino manager again. "

“OK！” Xiao Yao shrugged indifferently. It's true, and he's certainly not afraid of reporters to prove it.

"Yang, how can you count cards?" When Xiao Yao and Bob snow finished, Nicky Thompson asked Xiao Yao.

Because of the star's identity, Nicky Thompson always wore sunglasses when he entered the casino, and basically did not speak in the middle, so as not to be recognized. Now out of the casino, Nicky Thompson can finally speak happily.

"Mr. Xiao, I want to know, too!" Bob Snow said, "I have other questions to ask you besides that. Can you accept my interview and let me perfect my report? "

"Now?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Whenever it's convenient for you," said Bob snow, "but of course I hope the sooner the better!"

"Now." Xiao Yao said, "go to my room? I live in a flat with a living room. "

Interview and ordinary chat look different. Besides, Matt Dino and Nicky Thompson look curious. They must follow each other. There are many people in the coffee shop, and Xiao Yao's room is a more private place.

"Of course Bob snow road.

Matt Dino and Nicky Thompson immediately offered to listen in. Xiao Yao and Bob snow didn't refuse, so Xiao Yao took them upstairs.

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

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

"As you have just heard, the people in the casino said that I can count cards. They have blacklisted me and refused me to participate in any poker projects in the casino." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"How do you have the ability to count cards?" Bob snow continued.

"Learn from others!" Xiao Yaodao.

"Who?" Asked Bob snow.

"Other card counters, of course." Xiao Yao said, "it's not convenient 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. At MIT, there's a blackjack counting team, which is no secret in American casinos. "

“MIT？” Nicky Thompson suddenly said, "no wonder I'll meet you at Boston airport. At that time, did you just learn how to count cards from MIT? "Xiao Yao looks at Nicky Thompson with a smile, and then at the mobile phone in front of him.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Nicky Thompson responded and said to Bob snow, "excuse me for your interview!"

"Never mind!" Bob snow shook his head. "This recording is just a recording. I'll sort it out later. I won't release the audio of this interview, so it doesn't affect me. In addition, I am also very interested in what you said and the questions you just asked, which can enrich my interview content. "

"All right!" Nicky Thompson talked about meeting Xiao Yao at Boston airport.

However, Nicky Thompson only said that he met Xiao Yao in the coffee shop of Boston airport. He didn't say that they had a few words about their later relationship. He soon finished.

"Yes Xiao Yao nodded and said, "at that time, I just learned to count cards. At that time, I was not divining, but testing my ability to remember cards. "

Now that Bob Snow said that, Xiao Yao answered Nicky Thompson's question after he finished.

"You're an acting star. How do you know the card counter of MIT?" Bob snow continued.

"Why can't performing stars know MIT people?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Well, my fault." Bob Snow said, "it's just that MIT is the top university of science and technology in the United States and even in the world, and you are an acting star. Generally speaking, there is no intersection between the two. Well, even if you know someone who studies at MIT, as far as I know, card counting involves a lot of advanced mathematical knowledge. How can they be willing to teach you and how can you learn to master it so quickly? "

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

"Before I came, I checked some information about you." Bob Snow said, "according to Chinese media reports, you shot a drama in China a few months ago. It was not finished until the end of June. You are the male lead. So in terms of time, you should not be in Boston for more than a week. "

"That's true!" Xiao Yao nodded and continued with a smile, "have you ever checked that when I was in high school, I once participated in the training and selection of the Chinese Olympic Mathematics National team. My college entrance examination in Huaxia, which is similar to your sat exam in the United States, got full marks in mathematics, and the total score ranked first in my city."

"You mean, you're a mathematical genius?" Asked Bob snow.

"I don't know if I'm a math genius or not." Xiao Yaodao said, "Huaxia's high school was three years. I only studied in Huaxia for two years. The other year I worked as an exchange student in the United States, that is, the year when I joined immortals and went to the Oscars. I think, with my grades and resume at that time, if I applied for MIT, there should be a greater possibility that I would get an offer! "

"So, the MIT card counters you know are your teammates when you participated in the training of the Chinese Olympic Mathematics 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 card counting?" Bob snow road.

"When I was an international exchange student in the United States, many people in the school knew that my international exchange student from China had participated in the training of the Chinese Olympic Mathematics National team and was good at mathematics." Xiao Yao deliberately misled, "later, after our immortals band became popular, more people in the school knew this."

At that time, there were not many people who participated in the training of the same Olympic Mathematics National team with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao was not sure whether Yan Ke was the only one who went to MIT later, but the number would not be much. After this report comes out, it will definitely be sent back to Huaxia. If Xiao Yao admits, there may be media or netizens in the United States and Huaxia to dig Yan Ke out.

This matter also involves personal privacy. Xiao Yao didn't want people to think and check in that direction before he got the consent of Yan Ke, the three of them and even their card counting team. Xiao Yao knows that sometimes it's not that he told reporters not to write in the report, but that reporters don't write. Moreover, in this situation, it's not good for him to ask Bob snow not to write this in the report. On the contrary, it confirms his conjecture from the side, so Xiao Yao deliberately misleads him.

As for Xiqiao middle school, which was temporarily mentioned by Xiao Yao, when Xiao Yao was an exchange student, he was a celebrity of the whole school. Xiqiao middle school is also a high-quality high school in the United States. The total number of students in the three grades of the school should always have a chance to enter MIT.

"You mean the person who taught you how to count cards was your classmate when you were an international exchange student in the United States?" Bob snow was taken away and asked Xiao Yao.

"This ~" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "before obtaining the consent of the parties, I'm not convenient to disclose it for the time being!"

Xiao Yao is just misleading, so he neither admits nor denies it. If they contact Yan Ke afterwards, they don't mind that their identity information may be exposed. Xiao Yao can also contact Bob snow again to return the words.

"All right." Bob snow nodded, stopped pestering this question, and continued to ask another question, "but it's very, very unexpected that you, who have made outstanding achievements in performing arts, can learn how to count cards and let casinos blacklist you. Can you tell me what is card counting and how do you do it? ""In short, it is to use the mathematical knowledge of probability to establish a mathematical model, calculate the probability of big card and small card, so as to judge your winning size. It will help you decide the amount of money you bet before licensing, and it will also help you decide whether you want a card or not in a card game. " Xiao Yao said, "card counting can only improve your overall winning rate, it can't guarantee that you win every hand. Therefore, playing card counting requires a long enough time and a sufficient number of cards to be effective. "

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

"You mean I don't understand?" Bob snow laughs.

"No," said Xiao Yao, "maybe you don't understand, but maybe you can, too. I just don't want to make the card counting method known to all. After all, it's the result of the card counting team that spent a lot of time and effort! "

"I understand!" Bob snow nodded.

"Any other questions?" Xiao Yao asked.

"May I ask questions that have nothing to do with counting cards?" Asked Bob snow.

"Sorry, no!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "this interview only focuses on the problems related to card counting."

"Well, I have no other questions." Bob Snow said, "thank you for your time."

"Young, you are a monster!" Nicky Thompson saw the end of Bob Snow's interview and spoke to Xiao Yao.

"Well, you're not the first to say that." Xiao Yao smiles.

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. I'll leave first. Thank you again for the interview. "

"You're welcome." Xiao Yao got up and shook hands with Bob snow.

"Thank you, Mr. Dino, 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 said before. Many reporters can't find such hot news. I'm not helping you or Mr. Xiao. On the contrary, you've helped me! "

"Whatever!" Matt Dino waved his hand.

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

"So it's time for us to leave, too?" Nicky Thompson laughs.

"Aren't we finished?" Xiao Yao nodded impolitely and said, "I can't find any reason for you to stay here."

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

"You say it Xiao Yao waved his hand.

"Since you have the ability to count cards, why not sweep more casinos?" Matt Dino said, "Vegas is not the only gambling city in the world. Atlantic City, Monaco, and even your Chinese horse city are all world-famous gambling cities with legal casinos. Vegas casinos are connected to the Internet, but casinos all over the world are not connected to the Internet. You are not on the blacklist of casinos in those casinos. Have you ever thought about going to other casinos to earn more tickets? "

"If I want to count cards in other casinos, will I ask Mr. Snow to report it through you?" Xiao Yao said, "even if there is no Internet connection between the blacklists of casinos in several major gambling cities, as soon as the news comes out, the casinos in those gambling cities also know that I can count cards."

"Yes Matt Dino said, "even if you want to be famous through this, you can wait for you to scan all the casinos in those places and get on their blacklist before you find the reporters. In this way, you will cause more sensation."

"Because I'm not a professional gambler, and I don't take counting cards as a profession." Xiao Yao said, "counting cards is just one of my interests. I just think it's fun to do it. Being blacklisted by Vegas casinos is enough to prove my card counting ability. I have achieved my goal! "
