Chapter 235 - 234 Gold Business Card
Yang Yi also rose from the table to leave. Before he left, he changed most of his hundred-dollar chips into thousands at the croupier’s station; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to carry them. In the end, he left two hundred-dollar chips for the well-endowed croupier as a tip.
Winning money definitely feels great.
The greatest illusion of a casino is that everyone believes they can win money; everyone thinks they’ll be the lucky one, as if good luck alone could lead to a life of luxury and debauchery. But the harsh reality is that besides the casinos making money, along with a small fraction of professional gamblers who can make a living out of it, the vast majority are just lambs to the slaughter.
A common adage holds that the more you gamble, the more you lose. Then why do professional gamblers, who gamble frequently, manage to win money? Because for professional gamblers, it’s never about gambling; they’re simply working to win money.
If you can’t differentiate between the gambling of an ordinary person and that of a professional gambler, then you deserve to lose your shirt.
Yang Yi felt that if he were to dedicate himself to being a professional gambler, he would definitely be able to win big money.
He found another table and sat down, quickly realizing that four of the five people at the table were professional gamblers. They were subtly working together to win money from one person. Although this meant no one won a significant amount, coming across a clueless and wealthy mark wasn’t an everyday occurrence.
Sadly, this wealthy mark was a Huaxia man.
Yang Yi had no lofty sentiments about warning the Huaxia man to stop gambling. After all, these professional gamblers weren’t cheating; they were using their skills to win. Since the Huaxia man dared to sit down and go all-in on every hand regardless of his cards, why should Yang Yi bother to speak up?
Yang Yi ran into that middle-aged man again, sitting adjacent to him just like the last time. Why? Because a mark like this was rare, and upon spotting one, you had to quickly take a seat, otherwise it would soon be snapped up by other professional gamblers who got wind of it.
Smiling politely at the middle-aged man he had just cooperated with, Yang Yi joined the game.
