I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 153

Out of trust in his eyes’ identification skills, Oliver shouted, “Card!”

Denise translated what Oliver said to the banker.

The banker did as Oliver said. That head-up card was a Hearts 4.

16 points.

Seeing that, Denise was so excited that she grasped her fist. “Not a blowout. And his total points now are quite promising,” thought she.

According to her idea, she suggested that Oliver should stop asking for more cards and leave the risk to the banker.

But Oliver glanced at the card shuffler again. He already had four cards in his hands. If he got the fifth card and his points didn’t exceed 21, it would be the Small Five, which meant five cards with the total points under 21. Then the odds for the banker could be 1.5 times.

If the five cards added up to 21 points, that made the Blackjack. Then the odds for the banker could be 2.5 times.

If the Blackjack showed up in different forms, such as two cards or three or four cards, then the odds for the banker could be 2 times.

The Small Five made the odds even higher.

If six cards made a Blackjack, which was called the Small Six, then the odds for the banker could be 3 times.

That was to say, the player got six cards with the total points reaching 21, he then got a Blackjack in the Small Six form. The odds for the banker were the highest.

Oliver looked again at the card shuffler and found that the next card was a Spade 4.

He had 16 points on four cards, and the fifth card would make his points reach 20.

Even if it was not a Blackjack, he still got a Small Five. If he beat the banker, he would win 150 Oros in this round.

“Again,” said Oliver.

Hearing what he said, Denise glanced at Oliver and saw his calm face. She thought the stakes were only 100 Oros, he would lose too much anyway. So, she didn’t say anything to Oliver.

The banker then issued another card, which was a Spade 4 as Oliver identified.

This Spade 4 almost sent the joyful Denise in the air.

“20 points. Still in the safe zone!” yelled Denise.

After a pause, Denise explained to Oliver again, “You’ve got a Small Five at 20 points. You will win 150 Oros in this round.”

Oliver nodded and looked at the card shuffler. The next card was a Club 10.

“No more cards,” thought Oliver.

The fourth player’s card was a 10. So, he asked for a card, which was a Club 10. So, he got 20 points in all. He then naturally stopped asking for cards.

And the banker got a King, which stood for 10 points. So, he had to ask for an additional card.

The moment Oliver found that the next card was a Spade Ace he knew that the banker was going to win

The banker asked for the second card. He then turned it over and found it was a Spade Ace, which made his cards the Blackjack.

The banker won!

Therefore, the banker gathered the chips of all the players and piled them up before him.

Denise was a little annoyed that the banker had the Blackjack!

Another gambler also muttered a curse. He could not believe he would lose even if he had 20 points. He thought his winning

rate in this round was 90%, but it so happened that the banker actually got the Spade Ace that could help him win.

Oliver basically knew how to play this game, so he threw a chip worth 10,000 Oros without a second thought. “You… Mr. Eastwood, are you serious?” asked Denise who was still annoyed by the first round in which Oliver almost won. Yet she didn’t expect that Oliver bet 10,000 Oros on the second round.

The banker was also a little surprised. Usually, the individual customers in the hall were basically mid- class incomers. The maximum amount of money that could be spent was about several hundred or 1,000 Oros. It was rare for them to bet 10,000 Oros in a round at once.

But the banker could not refuse Oliver.

The other three guests bet 100 Oros simultaneously.

The first card was the sacred card.

The first two players got their blowouts after asking for additional cards. So, they dropped out this round.

Then it was Oliver’s turn. His secret card was a Hearts A, which meant his card value could be either 1 or 11. “Card,” said Oliver.

The second one was a head-up card, which turned out to be a Diamond 2.

According to this card algorithm, A stood for 11.With a 2, he would get 13 points.

The risk of a blowout might occur if Oliver asked for more cards. The best card he could get was an 8, which happened to give him the Blackjack. Afterwards, the card value must be smaller than 8.

Cards above 8 would bring him a blowout.

That was to say, Oliver would win if the card was one from Ace to 8.

The card from 9 to King would bring him a blowout.

The odds of winning was bigger than that of the blowout.

Oliver glanced at the secret card of the card shuffler and found that the next card was identified to be a Club 3.

Surely he would ask for cards.

“Card,” said Oliver.

Denise then translated it to the banker. The card that the banker distributed was a Club 3.

13 points plus 3 points made 16 points.

Not a blowout.

Next card identified was a Spade 2.

Oliver continued to ask for cards without hesitation.

That 10,000 Oros worth of bet already made Denise quite nervous in this round.

It was not a small sum. According to her thinking, it would be better not to ask for more cards.

But the player was Oliver, not her. So she kept translation Oliver’s instruction to the banker.

A Spade 2 added up his points to 18. Four cards now!

“Great, 18 points. Still alive!” Denise squeezed her hand excitedly She then motioned to Oliver not to ask for cards.

This point was already very large. The next card must be the one from Ace, 2, and 3. Any other cards would bring a blowout

to Oliver..

Oliver looked at the card shuffler again, and his eyes identified the next card as a Heart 2. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

What else he could say?

“Again,” said Oliver.

Denise couldn’t help pinching Oliver and whispering to him, “Mr… Mr. Eastwood, please don’t. The two players before you have had their blowout and dropped out. But you have had a big chance to win in this round. There’s no need to risk it. Besides, you bet 10,000 Oros instead of 100!”

Oliver said casually, “It’s OK. It’s just gambling we are playing. Let’s give it a shot! Maybe my bike will become a motorcycle.”

-Denise didn’t understand the proverb he said. She still tried to persuade him, but Oliver waved for her, indicating her to ask

for cards.

In a sigh, Denise thought, “Money really makes one willful!”

“Card,” said Denise.

The banker was also a little nervous, but he also hoped that the player would continue to ask for cards. It would be better if their cards burst and relieve him from worries.

The new head-up was a Hearts 2.

20 points, great!” yelled Denise who saw that card and jumped cheerfully with her hands grasping Oliver’s arm. Five cards made 20 points.

Oliver secretly glanced at the card shuffler again. The next one was a Hearts A!

If he called another card, then he would get the Blackjack with 6 cards. The odds would be 3 times!

Before Denise could get any more excited, Oliver had said to her, “Again!”

Stunned by Oliver, she said, “Again? Please, don’t. You can only get an Ace if you want to win. Think about it! You have already got an Ace, so the next one is very unlikely to be an Ace. The chance of winning at 20 points is very large, and this is still the Small Five. If you win, the banker will pay you 15,000 Oros!”

Now that Oliver had known the next card was an Ace, what else could stop Oliver from asking for cards?

“Keep asking for cards! Let’s give it a shot!” said Oliver.

Seeing that Oliver ignored her advice, Denise turned to look at Wayne and Simon.

Yet they were like two cold-faced statues. They didn’t care whether Oliver would ask for more cards. They were like two

robots.

Beginning to get tangled up in her heart, Denise told the banker to issue cards again.

“Since he wants to be willful, then so be it. It’s his money anyway, thought Denise.

Hearing this, the dealer was relieved. Oliver bet 10,000 Oros and had a 90% chance of winning at 20 points. So, the banker was worried that he would lose such big a bet as the banker. When he heard that this young man from a foreign land wanted more cards, he was immediately joyful!

“This guy is a fool!” the banker concluded.
