After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

85 The Last Decisive Factor

11 points?!

It was almost as if they had given up on the possibility of there being a face card.

In a poker deck of fifty-four cards, after excluding the two Jokers there are twelve face cards. Coupled with this is the fact that high cards—cards with 7 points or more—had an equal or even higher probability of being drawn compared to low cards.

Based on past games, face cards appeared in almost four out of five games.

!!

And the points represented by the face cards were 11, 12, and 13.

Therefore, almost everyone was shocked when the number ’11’ flashed below the number ‘9’.

According to the analysis of the games in the underground casino, the probability of 12 points and below appearing was only 2%, so almost everyone would place their bets above that. No matter how uncertain they were, they would still place their bets around 20 points. A bet of 11 points was practically equivalent to throwing money away.

In this round, only room no. 9 made a bet below 15 points; everyone else, including the patrons at the gambling table, had bet above 15 points.

At this moment, before the second whistle sounded, a person to the right of the table suddenly moved their chips from ’16’ to ’11’.

This was also within the rules of the underground casino. After the VIPs in the glass room had finished choosing, after the first whistle but before the second whistle, everyone at the gambling table had a chance to change their bets.

Only one person at the gambling table chose to change their bet. The person shifted their chips to ’11’ and immediately retracted their hand, but even in the flurry their fair and slender hands could still be seen.

The patrons burst into an uproar.

In particular, the patrons around the person were whooping and yelling with excitement.

This person was wearing a very large cape, and the side of their face was concealed, so their face could not be seen clearly. However, based on their figure it seemed to be a tall boy.

“Young lad, this won’t turn out well for you, nobody ever follows a bet like that! It’s your first time here, right? The probability of such a small number of points here is really small…”

“Why bother telling him this? It’s not like he can change his bet anyhow. He’ll learn from this mistake; when he loses his money, we’ll see whether he’ll still follow their bets or if he’ll cry.”

The racket surrounding him never ceased. The boy did not speak and only stared at the cards on the gambling table.

This time, because someone had made a bet on a small number of points, the atmosphere was even livelier and more fiery than the previous round.

The sound of the whistle had long been drowned out by their cheers.

The dealer began to flip the cards one by one.

Beginning with the first card on the left.

The entire venue fell silent for a moment, as if they were anticipating what the first card would be.

When his hand flipped the card open, the 5 of Hearts appeared in front of everyone.

In an instant, the entire venue lit up with excitement.

Everyone was cheering. Even the patrons in the glass rooms could not help but smirk.

5 was not a completely small number; it was a middle card among the numbered cards.

This increased the probability of winning by 25% for everyone except for those who chose ’11’. They did not believe that all the cards that followed would be low.

As everyone cheered, the second card was slowly flipped open.

An Ace of Clubs appeared before them.

Almost everyone was stumped, and the cheers died down.

An Ace corresponded to 1 point, so it was the smallest card.

But this was yet to end. Before these patrons could finish consoling themselves, the third card, the 2 of Clubs, dealt them another blow.

Low points again!

This undoubtedly made everyone present sink into despair.

Their original 25% win rate had stagnated, whereas the win rate of the parties that bet low had gone from 0% to 75%!

The last card would be the decisive factor.
