"Talking about Sic Bo less in this column is due to a psychological barrier. It feels unfair to have a ""Big/Small"" bet, which wins with a single roll, and the odds are stacked against the bettor. Of course, it's understood that every gambling game is designed with a house edge; otherwise, who would bear the expenses of luxurious casino equipment, the lighting, and the government's substantial tax revenues? You can certainly bet on ""Big/Small"" to break even, but with a payout ratio of 1:24, you're still losing a significant portion.
Some clever individuals bet on the numbers 1 to 6 in Sic Bo or the ""Fish-Prawn-Crab"" option because even if a ""Triple"" is rolled, your bet isn't lost if you've bet on individual numbers. Instead, a single die pays 1:1, a double die pays 1:2, and a triple pays 1:3, which aligns with fair odds. The casino's edge is in the hidden bets. If there are players betting on a ""Triple,"" the casino's not at a loss. When a double die is rolled, the casino wins 4:2, which is advantageous. In the case of a triple, the casino wins 5:1, which is even more substantial.
This is based on mathematical reasoning. However, when it comes to gambling, it's not just about counting; even sharp teams like MIT's blackjack card counters, after countless calculations, still have to bow down when the dealer gets a blackjack. They win based on the law of large numbers.
In the world of gambling, a man known as the ""Golden Gambling God"" makes a living each day at Sic Bo and Fan Tan tables. Please note that his nickname is ""Golden Gambling God,"" not ""Golden Fingers."" This name is not because he wears an expensive watch; it's because he likes to wear his watch upside down, with the face turned away from him, so he doesn't check the time and lets others do it.
The ""Golden Gambling God"" is a calm man who believes that gambling can't be explained scientifically. He trusts in hot and cold streaks. In the absence of such patterns, he stands by and doesn't bet at all. As for hot streaks, he uses a simple statistical method to determine which side is hot. He uses a system that involves 30 or 60 previous results.
Among the six sides on the dice, the ""Golden Gambling God"" marks them with the word ""正"" (meaning ""correct"") in shorthand. By comparing the lengths of the sequences in squares numbered 1 to 6, he can tell which is the longest and the shortest. He even uses fluorescent colors for easy recognition. He's never wrong, and whenever luck is on his side, he's rewarded. Although he doesn't care about the time, he keeps a precise record of his bets.
He first identifies the appearance of a hot streak, and when there haven't been ""double blinds"" for two or more rolls, he starts his betting streak, placing bets on his chosen single number. He continues betting for five rolls, using a progressive system of 1, 3, 7, 15, and 31 units. The total cost is 57 units, with each unit worth 100 yuan.
Most of the time, hot streaks don't have double blinds for five rolls. By probability calculation, the chances of any single number not appearing in 15 dice rolls are very low. On the contrary, hot streaks frequently result in double dice, and when a double or triple is rolled, the profits are substantial. If a win occurs in the fifth round, the 31-unit bet multiplied by a 3x payout results in 93 units. The profit is substantial, and it's the higher the risk, the higher the reward." |
