No More Bets (孤注一掷)

In 1955,

an American game show aired on CBS

called The $64,000 Question.

Audiences could place bets on the answers.

Due to the limited technological advancements at the time,

live broadcasting across the country experienced certain delays.

This delay created a window for individuals

to manipulate the betting odds using inside information

gained from the time lag.

The Kelly Bet Size was discovered

by the esteemed mathematician John L. Kelly,

to maximize the profit from the bets.

People often confuse the antagonist with the banker.

In fact, the true opponents are

Dirichlet, Bernoulli,

Gauss, Nash,

and Kelly, these masters in mathematics.

Nevertheless, there is still someone who remains

overly confident about his intelligence.

Meet Pan Sheng, master's degree in Computer Engineering

from Hua-Jing University of Science and Technology.

An expert in Internet and Information Safety.

He discovered a bug and hacked into the fintech system of Dian-shi Fund.

Using batch programming,

he inserted a code that triggered deposits of a penny into

over 80,000 bank accounts.

He accomplished this feat when he was just turning 20.

TRANSFER 0.01 RMB

Even a brilliant programmer like him

can fall victim to scams,

even selling his life to a foreign scam syndicate.
