In this round, I found myself as a player.
I had neither the opportunity to shuffle nor deal the cards nor a chance to cut.
If one wished to cheat, the most effective methods would be card theft or exchanges.
Admittedly, these approaches are fraught with peril.
However, if the dealer can use a dog to facilitate card transactions, surely I can outsmart him.
In the ensuing rounds, I casually placed bets of one to two thousand dollars.
Each time I requested a card, I intentionally aimed to bust it and then surrendered immediately.
As I returned the cards, I stealthily pocketed one.
Before long, I had managed to conceal several advantageous cards.
With another round underway, everyone placed their wagers.
Glimpsing the time, I sensed it was the right moment.
I pulled out three bundles of cash and deposited them into the betting area.
