The chips were quickly placed in front of Colby, and the attendant asked, "Sir, have you ever played High-Low before?"
"Never have."
"It's quite simple, actually. You just bet on high or low and place your chips accordingly."
Listening to the attendant's explanation, Sophie asked with feigned curiosity, "So how do you determine what's considered high and what's low?"
"You see, we have three dice here. If the total sum of the dice is 11 or above, that's high. If it's 10 or below, that's low."
"It's that simple?" Sophie turned to Colby and asked, "Honey, what do you think? Should we bet on high or low?"
Colby casually took out a stack of chips and placed them in Sophie's hand, saying, "Pick one, doesn't matter."
"Um... I'll go with high." Sophie placed her chips on high.
The dealer exchanged a knowing look with the attendant and, understanding the cue, revealed the dice to indeed sum up to a high score.
Those around them who had bet on high collected their winnings with glee.
Sophie handed the winning chips to Colby, who then pulled out another stack and said, "Choose again."
Feeling like she was on a roll, Sophie happily placed her chips on high once more, "Then I'll stick with high."
Sophie and Colby's playful banter led the nearby attendant to believe they were definitely gambling novices. So, the attendant gave the dealer another look.
Soon, the dice were rolled again. This time, the result was low.
Sophie saw the two stacks of chips she had placed disappear.
Looking into Colby's eyes, she saw nothing but amusement, "No worries, we have plenty more. Shall we keep betting high?"
