Cosma Empire

“I won!”, a man in a white shirt and his sleeves put all the cards in his hands on the table, then smiled and took all the chips on his desk into his arms. He was in the game. Won one hundred and fifty-five.

The empire went through several discussions in the process of borrowing from the theocracy, and finally left a clause on gambling. But in fact, this clause really limits the kind of open gambling. For a few people to find a hidden private place to play cards in private, there is not much to do with a little bit of winning or losing. No one will take the initiative to report himself or report the person who participated in the gambling.

A less well-known sociologist believes that “hate is in the midst of spurring.” Without prejudice, no one will report his neighbors with nostalgia unless you let his interests suffer.

Walter frowned forced the cards in his hand to fall on the table, and people have long been accustomed to this kind of temper. His sleeves have also been rolled up, with a cup of iced cubes pouring less than two ounces of wine into his mouth and a cigarette on his head.

He had lost an afternoon. As a qualified gambler, he felt that he would be able to win the previous loss, so he still sat at the table.

The gentleman sitting across from him glanced at the chip box in front of Walter and looked back at the young people sitting on a sofa looking at the tape. The young people immediately stood up and went to the box where the chips were placed and took out 200 denominations. Different chips were sent to Walter’s side, “The third box, sir.”

Walter took some irritability and took the chips from the young people, took out the chips in the few chips left in front of him, and replaced them.

The bottom note of the gambling is two dollars. Although there are rules for the maximum of 50 caps per game, sometimes there are more people who don’t say anything, especially “friends” who lose a lot of money like Walter. Give him a chance to avenge himself. He took a few cigarettes and watched the next home being shuffled. He stood up and said, “I went to wash my face,” and brought the belt into the bathroom.

In the afternoon, he lost the five hundred pieces he had brought, and he still owed six hundred pieces. The huge loss made him a little uncomfortable and his heart blocked. Since he had smashed two thousand pieces at a time, his luck seemed to run out. In the past six months, he has won more and more losses. He rarely asks the person who organizes the gambling bureau how much he owes. He is somewhat afraid that it will be a huge number. But I have to say that his friend is not bad. Not only did he organize such a gambling game for free, but the money he owed has not urged him to pay his debts. Instead, he will lend him money if he needs it.

Now in this impetuous city, there are not many such good people.

I patted the cheeks that were wet with cold water, and looked at myself in the mirror with deep eye sockets. He laughed at himself and then waved his fist to cheer for himself. Today he has to win!

When I got back to the table, the card was already washed. His next home, a gentleman in his thirties asked him to check his cards. He smiled and shook his head. “We are all friends, no need.”

Although he said this, but the gentleman of his next house is still in front of him, the card is washed again, the people at the table are smoking, so that there is some feeling of smog. His eyes were fixed on the flipping poker until it was completely washed.

Some people play cards more elegantly, to calculate scores, add a way to relax, they play most of the time more skillful, better calculation and psychological requirements. But there is also a kind of game. Just like Mr. Walter’s hand, the method of playing is relatively simple. Use the hand of each person to match the billboard on the desktop to compare the size, easy to understand, even if no one can be very Learn in a quick time.

There are multiple stages in the game. This is the stage where everyone bets or chooses to give up. There are only two antes, but many times when it is decided to win or lose, there are often dozens of hundreds on the desktop.

Mr. Walter threw the lowest stakes on the table as an ante, then the winner of the last round began to “labor”, a card was assigned to each participant’s hand, and Walter looked at the hand’s hand breathing slightly. Some.

This is a good hand. If he is almost the biggest from the perspective of his hand, when he sees the public card, he feels that he has won this game! The chances of such a big card appearing are very small. Sometimes a game may only appear two or three times in seven or eight hours.

He tightened his face and made himself look like he had a bad hand and even frowned. Instead, the gentleman sitting across from him, smiled.

“Wow, beautiful sort, my luck is good.” He didn’t seem to care that he had exposed the size of his card, and Mr. Walter looked up at him and squeezed a smile.

He smiled and said, “Then we can completely lose the card because you won.”

The opposite person seems to think so, and he agrees with a nod to say, “Perhaps this is the best choice.”

Walter quietly threw a five-dollar chip on the table. He really believed when he first came into contact with such a game, but several times he found that someone else actually had no good cards at all, and he was completely deceiving him. He stupidly stuffed the biggest card in the game into the pile. Since then, he has gradually understood that sometimes the winning game is not on the table.

Have you heard anything similar?

Yes, the decision to win is outside the court. This shows the same truth. It indirectly reflects the fact that the essence of society is like this. The jokes make the truth of World.

“It seems that Mr. Walter doesn’t believe…” The person who just won shook his head and he also lost a chip. “I don’t believe it. The cards in my hand are not bad. Maybe I am bigger!”

The opposite player laughed again. He directly picked up a ten-dollar chip and threw it on the table. “We all think that our cards are better. Why don’t we make us more fun?”

Next, in the process of suspending betting, each player puts 80 chips on the table. It seems that everyone feels that they have the biggest card. When the last billboard was put down, Mr. Walter sighed in relief. The board in his hand is very big. If there is no accident, he should win this game. As a winner, in addition to his money on the desktop, there are two hundred 40 blocks, one will just win the loss just to say, there are many. This makes him very happy, and winning money always seems to be a happy thing.

The face of the player sitting opposite him becomes severe. He is sighed and puts down the cards in his hand. It is indeed a good hand. He will definitely win at other times, but this time it will not work! The man who won his money also put the card down, which is bigger than the card in the face of Mr. Walter. When he haha’s open arms are ready to take the chips back, Mr. Walter puts his own The card is placed on the table.

His biggest, he took a cigarette and lit the fire, said with a smile, “Thank you for your help, I am not fast enough to sort out the chips.” When he said that he reached out to grab the chips, he went home. The player, the guy who didn’t say a word in this round put the card down, Mr. Walter glanced at him, and the hand that took the chip was in the air.

He lost!

……

It is normal for gambling to lose and win. Mr. Walter has long known, but today he lost again. The five hundred yuan plus the five chips this time is one thousand.

One thousand and five hundred pieces were clean and clean. Sitting in the car, he slammed the steering wheel hard and the car made a harsh whistle.

Standing on the balcony, watching Mr. Walter drive away, the three of them sat down, and the gentleman who organized the gambling took out four hundred pieces from his pocket and gave two other players. “This is you.” Deserved, don’t make mistakes, don’t forget to come over on time on Wednesday.”, the two people nodded elated took over the money and left, the organizer of the card took a look at the clock, instructed: “Call us Friends, start the next game in fifteen minutes!”

Mr. Walter, who drove back home, sighed when he was parked in the garage. He put on his clothes and made himself smile. After he didn’t look so heavy, he took the key and opened the door.

“Walter?” He just entered the door and heard the gentle voice of his wife in the living room. This voice made him feel guilty. The inexplicable heart was even more annoyed, not just because he lost money.

He took off his shoes, responded, changed his shoes and walked into the living room, staring blankly at his wife’s back to him, packing up some small ornaments, like photo frames and souvenirs sent by others or bought by himself these years. some type of. The last time this happened was when they moved here, did they have to move again?

He walked over to his wife and watched her play with these things, and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with this? Don’t you like them?”

Her wife did not look back, still carefully packing up these things, replied with a slight smile, “I changed a new job, to leave Steri, we may have to go to the north or the west.”

“Why?”, Walter suddenly heard the news and couldn’t accept it. “Is it not good here? Or do they want to send you away?”

“What about the house here? And our daughter, what about her school? I don’t think she can adapt to the environment and school quickly. Can we not go?!!”
