98 Going All-In (1/2)
After a while, the dealer put down the box and shouted, ”Place your bets! Big or Small?”
The gamblers around the table started placing down their chips. Without stopping to think, Xiao Luo wagered all of his chips worth a hundred thousand on 'Big.'
Hiss!
Sun Jian'nan sucked in a breath of cold air. As the strength went out of his legs, he almost collapsed to the floor. This was a hundred thousand bucks, and this kid just put it all down. If the dice turned up Small, he'd lose it all, just like that.
My God, where did this young man get his confidence from?
He looked fearfully at Xiao Luo, who was calm and collected, and he broke out into a cold sweat.
Sun Yu was so nervous that she did not dare to watch and turned away. She held onto Xiao Luo's clothes with a deadly grip, feeling as though she and not Xiao Luo was the one betting at the table. When she saw Xiao Luo going all-in with chips worth a hundred thousand, all the blood instantly drained from her face.
”Three-four-five, Big!”
The dealer's loud voice boomed as he uncovered the dice. The three dice revealed showed the numbers three, four, and five.
Just like that, Xiao Luo had won two hundred thousand, doubling his chips.
”Un-unbelievable!”
Sun Jian'nan's eyes opened wide, gawking in disbelief.
Sun Yu also turned to look at Xiao Luo in surprise. ”Brother Xiao Luo, you won?”
”Mm.” Xiao Luo simply nodded without any further explanation.
Manager Geng had been keeping tabs on Xiao Luo from the second floor. At this turn of events, his brow furrowed deeply, and he muttered to himself, ”This kid has some luck. Who wins on the first round with an all-in bet and so easily squeezes two hundred thousand from a hundred thousand?”
The man beside him remarked, ”It's got to be a fluke. If he tries it again in the next round, I'm sure he's going to lose everything.”
Manager Geng nodded ambiguously. Lady Luck would not side with anyone forever.
The second round began. Xiao Luo closed his eyes yet again, focusing his hearing on the movement of the die. As he had won a significant amount in the first round, the dealer had taken notice of him. Seeing him with his eyes closed, acting like an expert, he could not help but softly scoff, ”What are you playing at? Are you pretending to be a gambling god?”
Xiao Luo acted he had not heard the dealer. With a small smile, he bet all of his chips once again. This time, he bet all two hundred thousand on 'Big.'
Behind him, Sun Jian'nan and Sun Yu's hearts skipped a beat each as they were unable to maintain their composure. This all-or-nothing style of gambling was not for the faint of heart, and they could not help but feel nervous. If Xiao Luo was right, he would double his winnings, but if he made a mistake, he would end up worse than he's started, and all would be lost.
The dealer uncovered the box and reluctantly announced, ”Four-five-six, Big!”
The casino staff handed Xiao Luo four hundred thousand dollars' worth of chips.
”You actually guessed right again!”
Sun Jian'nan swallowed hard. In less than five minutes, the hundred thousand Xiao Luo had come into the casino with had become four hundred thousand.
Sun Yu was dumbfounded. She stared wide-eyed with her charming eyes at Xiao Luo, suddenly feeling like this man was a real enigma.
Some of the color drained from Manager Geng's face as he continued watching from the second floor. He marveled at how fortunate Xiao Luo was to have guessed correctly twice in a row.
When Xiao Luo placed four hundred thousand dollars' worth of chips back on 'Big' and won again, Manager Geng lost his cool. The gamblers and dealer at the table felt even more shook up.
Three rounds! He won three rounds in a row! He was too damn lucky!
