Dice is a device in the form of space where on each side there is one number. Generally, dice have a box shape with all six sides that are each written in numbers 1 to 6. When we throw a dice, the probability that the number we want to appear is one compared to the total number of the dice. In other words, playing the dice is oriented to luck. Almost nothing is certain in a game that uses dice. Whether it's a ladder snake, a monopoly, and so on. Dice is a gambling tool — a sin that will lead to laziness.
But what if it is said that the probability of the number we want has a 100% chance of appearing on the dice side later? It is no longer a game, but a strategy.
And tonight Elena and Lisa are visiting a gambling establishment. A place where luck is glorified and deified. Whoever wins will find comfort in his life and whoever loses will suffer his fate.
"E-Elena, w-doesn't it matter we play here?" lisa asked in a trembling voice, "Gambling will only be detrimental, right?"
"That's when we're gambling," said Elena, "Different stories when you can make the odds 100%."
Gambling is more often harmful. Because it is clear, that the total money involved in the game will not increase, but only change hands. Move from the loser to the winner. This is why gambling is not a productive job.
Elena and Lisa break into a gambling house. Lisa immediately put on an ugly expression. The smell of alcohol and others mixed together created a thick scent piercing the nose. In it, the atmosphere is not conducive. But beside her, Elena still had her usual flat expression.
“Wah.wah, rarely do two women come here,” a man said. Either he's a staff or another customer. “What brought you here? Need money? You guys can definitely get a lot overnight.” To Elena she added, “Especially you, little girl.”
Of course what the man said had to do with slovenly things.
“No, we are here to play.” Elena shook her hands in front of her face. Smells that don't disappear at all. “Looki-so I'm an expert at guessing and throwing dice, you know, uncle.”
“Hou, very brave, yes?” He grins. Showing intimidation. “Tak be afraid of running out of savings money from your mother, little girl? A kid like you should drink orange juice.”
“Yes, actually I want to order that thing.” Elena confirmed.
The man was silent with an ugly expression. His intimidation behavior, not expecting the girl in front of him even toying with him.

Elena walked in front with Lisa following who had a quivering expression. The two stopped in front of an old man's table. The man's body was dry until his bones were visible. Body without meat.
“Old sir, may I know what games are here?” ask Elena.
On the front desk of the old man were three wooden glasses lying on his stomach. They closed something inside them.
“The game in my place is very simple, little girl,” said the old man, “In these three glasses one of them is gold. Give me your money and I'll double it if you can find the gold between three glasses.”
“And if lose?” ask Lisa slowly.
“Then I will take your money.” The old man laughed after his words.
Lisa swallowed her saliva.
This is not a profitable game. Guessing one among three glasses means having a ⅓ chance of winning. About 33%! More chances of losing in them. And even that was not necessarily in the old geezer in front of them being honest.
“Good.” Elena gave a small smile. “Let's start tonight with a simple game.” He handed a piece of gold coin to the old man before him.
Elena observed one by one the wooden glasses that were upside down on the table. For him it was very easy to find where the gold was. Wh why? Sure use «Perawangan». That ability allowed him to see things elsewhere.
“Let's see.”
Elena knew which one was right, but she deliberately lost. He just picked one that contained a pebble. It opened it, and it was just a pebble.
“Honey once, little girl.” Grandpa laughed. “Your choice is wrong! You lost!”
“Hmm.” Elena closed the pebble back. “But gambling is indeed an interesting game, yes?” Elena again handed the old man a piece of gold.
“After feeling the defeat you still want to continue?” The old man took Elena's money. “I want to know when you kapok.” He scrambled the glass order. Deftly so that the normal human eye has trouble following. It was hard to follow the glass they had taken. “Please play until your money runs out.”
“As you said.”
From here Elena knew that the strategy of attracting grandfather's customers was bad. He should have allowed his customers to win in the first round somehow — how. This is so that customers are tempted and tempted to play gambling continuously. This is also a trick that is often used by gambling agents, especially online gambling.
Lisa feels bad. It's bad that Elena squandered her money for this game. Elena lost again. Twice he lost to a total of three. Three pieces of gold were wasted.
“E-Elena, isn't it time to stop?” Lisa Pinta.
“Do not first. I still want to play.” Adding on, Elena took out another piece of gold money.
Of course, grandfather's response was filled with glee. Easy prey with big income! Tonight is his luck — at least until before Elena continues the game.
Wh why?
Elena has won! Winning on a streak. Not just one or two, but six times! This is minus three plus six. He gained the advantage of three gold pieces. This made Grandpa astonished.
“Quite little girl, I'm broke,” said the grandfather was full of fear, “I can't give you anything else if you continue playing.”
“Yes, yes, I expected that I was the lucky one.” Elena nodded proudly. “Again the gold pieces are expensive.”
There is also a goal Elena plays this, which is to “breaking” her money. He knew that grandfather could not use gold coins only for rewards, but also gave other coins at a lower price level that were many.
Elena turned. He handed a bag of silver coins mixed with copper to Lisa. “Play with games you can win using your «Printing» ability,” whispered.
“Wait, so that's your secret?” Lisa answered slowly.
And the thing that made her even more astonished, with this she knew Elena had similar abilities to her.
Elena walked away outside the building while waving at Lisa. “Don't get drunk! You're gonna throw all that money away!”
“{Typical person bad.}” Aya who had been waiting outside the building jumped onto Elena's shoulder.
