71: Chapter 0071 Hard work

However, after studying it, Li Size realized that this was simply a game of probability.

If the probability of getting a Big or Small result in one roll was 1/2, then the probability of getting the same result ten times in a row was 1/1024, becoming an event with extremely low probability.

Probability theory and Karma theory are the two major doctrines that Wizard Apprentices specializing in Divination must master.

Even though these casinos prohibited the use of Divination magic, Divination-type Wizards still held a greater chance of winning, largely because they deeply understood probability theory.

Li Size didn't know if he possessed the Aptitude to study Divination magic, but he had a good grasp of probability theory.

In the massive second-floor dice game area, there were fifty dice facilities in total.

After observation, Li Size found that they were basically random, and he hadn't detected any signs of artificial control; at least, that was his own assessment.

The fifty dice facilities would re-roll every 2-3 minutes. Li Size didn't just randomly pick a machine to bet on; he had his own trick.

He checked the records of these dice machines. After five minutes, he finally sat down in front of one dice facility with Felina: this machine's record showed six consecutive Small results!

This was the one!

He first put in 1 Gold Coin and chose to bet Big!

The machine began to shake randomly, and then the dice cup was opened, revealing the numbers on the three dice: 2-3-3, still Small!

The dealer behind the table chuckled smugly, and Felina couldn't help but look a little worried when she saw the result.

Li Size smiled mysteriously and squeezed her delicate little hand.

In his heart, this was actually the best outcome; he didn't want to win on the sixth round...

In the seventh round, he put in 3 Gold Coins and still bet Big!

Unfortunately, the dice were random: 2-4-3, still Small!

Li Size wasn't worried. In the eighth round, he took out 9 Gold Coins and still chose to bet Big!

Felina roughly understood her lover's thinking by looking at the way Li Size was betting.

She marveled at his intelligence, having figured out such a playing style on his first visit here.

However, she was still a little concerned:

If the eighth bet also lost, he would have to put in 27 Gold Coins in the ninth round.

And in the tenth round, he would only have less than 40 Gold Coins left to use.

If it truly came to the tenth round, perhaps she should lend him her own Gold Coins first.

But fortunately, he finally won this time!

This allowed Li Size to instantly win 9 Gold Coins. Deducting the bets from the first two rounds, he profited 5 Gold Coins.

Li Size also breathed a sigh of relief...

Although he would have won more if he had won in the ninth round, he preferred this feeling of security.

He decisively gave up on that machine and began observing the records of other facilities.

This time, his luck was good; there was actually one machine that had consecutively shown 9 Big results!

He quickly walked over. Logically, he could directly increase his bet and start wagering from 9 Gold Coins.

However, after thinking about it, he prioritized stability and started betting from just 1 Gold Coin.

It was this very stability that ultimately saved him from huge losses.

The tenth time, still Big, losing 1 Gold Coin.

The eleventh time, still Big, losing 3 Gold Coins.

Countless gamblers were already starting to despair, choosing to increase their stakes for one last gamble. Even Li Size was almost affected.

However, he took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and still chose to bet 9 Gold Coins.

The twelfth time, still Big!

Phew!

Li Size secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad he hadn't gone all-in like the others!

The thirteenth time, Li Size bet 27 Gold Coins! Still Big!

When the dice cup started shaking, Li Size felt his own tension.

If this time was Small again, then the Gold Coins for the next round wouldn't be enough to triple his bet, which would hinder the implementation of his plan.

Phew!

That was a relief!

2-4-3! That's 9 points... Small!

Li Size heard waves of painful wails and wild laughter coming from around him, a mixture of everything...

Phew!

Li Size's slightly tense mood finally relaxed. Even Felina, who was tightly gripping his hand, relaxed a little.

Taking the 14 Gold Coins won this time, Li Size chose to leave that machine and continue observing calmly.

Li Size, now calm, looked at the gamblers immersed in gambling and gained a faint understanding of gambling, probability, and fate.

This time, luck wasn't as good; the highest streak on any machine was only 5 consecutive Bigs.

Li Size calculated that although his principal was larger now, it still couldn't withstand the risk of 5 consecutive losses.

His preset risk threshold was:

Losing continuously for at least 10 rounds, during which he would have bet at least 4 times.

This situation would exceed his risk threshold, so he chose to give up and continue observing.

This time, he waited a full twenty minutes before finding a dice machine with a record of 7 consecutive Small results.

This time, he didn't even consider it; he started from 1 Gold Coin again.

However, no one could say for sure whether this was good luck or bad luck.

When Li Size placed his first bet, he unexpectedly won.

But he only won a single Gold Coin.

Li Size was not unhappy with this result.

Winning was a good thing!

In reality, he never intended to participate in something like gambling.

The only reason he was forced to participate in gambling now was to accumulate a total bet amount of one hundred Gold Coins, hoping that he wouldn't lose money during the process.

By relying on this steady approach, Li Size spent a full two hours and finally increased his Gold Coin total to two hundred.

At the same time, his cumulative betting amount successfully surpassed the predetermined target of one hundred Gold Coins.

He consequently earned the qualification to enter the VIP area.

Facing this achievement, Li Size appeared quite calm, whereas Felina seemed somewhat excited, appearing to have thoughts of continuing to play.

However, Li Size keenly sensed that some eyes were already watching him from the shadows.

He understood that if he continued to win, those people would certainly take some measures to intervene and stop him.

Therefore, Li Size decisively chose to quit while he was ahead.

He brought Felina to the VIP area on the sixth floor, where he finally met the Wizard Apprentice Fei Li.

At that moment, Fei Li was playing a unique magical card game in a private VIP room.

Li Size had seen the rules of this game before; its gameplay was somewhat similar to Texas Hold'em.

However, the cards displayed were not numbers one through thirteen, but rather various patterns representing different types of magic.

These patterns formed various combinations, and different combinations determined their respective power levels.

In the game, the player whose combination ultimately possessed the greatest power and lasted until the end would win and take all the bets.

This was undoubtedly a comprehensive test of the player's calculation ability, psychological endurance, and reasoning skills.

Although Li Size was very confident in all these aspects of his ability, he did not want to participate in this kind of gambling game.

Because he didn't need to earn money through this method at all; relying on the knowledge and skills stored in his brain, earning money was merely a matter of minutes for him.

He walked straight to Fei Li's side and stated directly:

"Mr. Fei Li, we are here to purchase your Silver Ring Trout. Your friend Will introduced us."

Fei Li glanced sideways at Li Size, then looked at Felina standing beside him, floating slightly.

Li Size's handsome appearance and his beautiful companion successfully aroused Fei Li's jealousy.

He shouted in a strange, singsong voice:

"Oh! That damn Will! Ever since he came back, I haven't won a single time.

He must have passed his bad luck to me!

Not selling! I hate you, and I hate Will's friend too."

Felina had probably figured out how important the Silver Ring Trout was to Li Size.

Hearing Fei Li say that, she couldn't help but become anxious...
