Seo-hoo sat down and bet 20,000 won on the first bet. When 20,000 won was lost, I bet 20,000 won again. This time, I won. However, the next 20,000 won was lost, and then the next, too, lost 60,000 won in total. Seo-hoo made an 80,000 won bet this time. This time, he was right. Seo-hoo made a bet without missing a single round, getting hit at times and wrong at times, but since he started betting from the lowest amount, he made a big bet once to keep the money even if he got it wrong. No, I was winning tens of thousands of won in the main match.

“He’s terrible at games. Oh, when on earth do you get money by walking 20,000 won like that? You have 5 million won in chips!”

A 40-year-old who was playing a game with him screamed because he was frustrated to watch.

“Oh, look at people playing games. Does anyone in a seat bet less than 300,000. The stakes are less than half yours, but you’re betting valiantly, aren’t you? You have to be valiantly betting to win.”

Seo-hoo was just smiling. As the 40s said, people were betting almost 300,000 won on every sale. It was a game where 300,000 won was the maximum. Seo-hoo cut the game into 100,000 won units. When it reached 100,000 won, it was put aside, and based on a 20,000 won bet, another 100,000 was made and put aside.

“By the way, everyone else picks more than 100 for this good picture, but what about you? I’ve only won 20!”

However, after a while the painting changed. The painting suddenly began to pour in unexpected directions, ignoring the rules so far. The chips that people had piled up in front of the table escaped at a faster rate than when they entered. Everyone was swearing with their faces wide and started taking checks out of their pockets and swapping them wildly.

“A-pal!”

The painting was disastrous. Bankers and players popped out without any rules and shook the table uncontrollably, and people poured out all the money they had won, as well as money in their pockets, in less than half an hour.

Seo-hoo got up from his seat with 4.5 million won left in a quiet move.

“What a small fellow. I have 5 million won in front of me. I can’t believe I just lost 50 won and just got up!”

The 40s turned the last check into chips, expressing dissatisfaction at the vacancy left by Seo-hoo.
