Maybe it was just luck, I won ten games in a row.

My husband invested 25,000 dollars and got back 600 dollars.

Emmett started to get upset, staring at me intently and said suspiciously, “This is weird. Adela, how come you always win? Is this really your first time playing cards?”

I spread my hands, smiled and said, “Don't people always say that you'll have better luck the first time you play cards? How does that saying go? Yes, the novice protection period.”

Isaac chuckled, “Since you are so lucky, Adela, do you want to try a different way of playing?”

That was what I was waiting for him to say.

“What kind of game do you want to change?” I asked calmly.

Isaac and Emmett looked at each other and said to me, “The base price of one dollar is too small. Let's change it to ten dollars and cancel the 15 dollar cap. How about no upper limit?”

As I was about to agree, my husband pulled me back, “Honey, stop playing!”

I saw fear in my husband's eyes. I knew without thinking that the reason why he lost 25,000 dollars in one night must be related to the lack of a cap.

“Hey, Loren, Adela is having a good time. You are ruining her mood.”
