The dealers of Thai "Buddhist" Amulets are marketing Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) as "God Of Gambler / Gambling (่ต็ฅ)" and Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) Amulets as Good Luck Charms for Gambling Purpose, without bothering to share the real history of Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ).
In order to respect a great person, we should 1st spend time to do research and truly understand his real complete history. Not simply produce or read up twisted stories of a great historical figure as a "Gambling God" (่ต็ฅ), for the sake of trading the image of it as Good Luck Charms / Amulets.
Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) was formerly known as Zheng Yifeng (้ไนไธฐ), also known as Li-Yu (็คผ่ฃ), and he self-named Hai-Tao (ๆตทๆถ) in his later years. Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) was his alias.
Because he had funded Sun Yat-sen's democratic revolution and became a sworn brother with him, Sun Yat-Sen praised him as "wise and courageous", so he was renamed "wise and courageous" - Zhi Yong (ๆบๅ) - Zheng Zhi Yong (้ๆบๅ). ๏ผๅ ไปๆพ่ตๅฉๅญไธญๅฑฑ็ๆฐไธป้ฉๅฝ,ๅนถไธไป็ปๆไธบๅ

In the early years of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (ๆธ

At the beginning, he was a "Runner Boy" (่ท่กๅฐไผ่ฎก) in the warehouse run by Chaozhou people (The Teochews) at the Red Head Boat Wharf. After a bit of social experience, he went to the northern border by himself, did coolies first, and after a little savings, he sold medicinal materials, cloths and other things back to Sanpin Street (ไธ่่ก) in Siemjing (ๆนไบฌ). Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) was almost killed when he was hijacked by a strongman during a cargo trafficking. He realized that he had to gather a group of like-minded brothers to work together in order to gain a foothold in Siam. ๏ผๅผๅง๏ผไปๅจ็บขๅคด่น็ ๅคดๆฝฎๅทไบบๅผ็่ดงๆ ้ๅฝ่ท่กๅฐไผ่ฎกใๆ็น็คพไผ็ป้ชๅ๏ผ็ฌ้ฏๅ้จ่พน้ฒ๏ผๅ

The origin of the name of Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ)
At the age of 35, he became the โsecond brotherโ of the gangโs deputy leader. After Lin Mang's death, the second brother Feng was promoted to the chief "Big Brother". Others renamed him the eldest brother, but he humbly asked people to still call himself "the second brother" (ไบๅฅ). This is the origin of the name of Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ). ๏ผ35ๅฒ๏ผไปๅฝไธ่ฏฅๅธฎๆดพ็ๅฏๅคด้ขโไบๅฅโใๆ่ฝ่ฟไธๅ๏ผไบๅฅไธฐๅไปปๅคด้ขโๅคงๅฅโใๅซไบบๆน็งฐไปไธบๅคงๅฅ๏ผไปๅด่ฐฆ่ๅฐ่ฆไบบไปๅซ่ชๅทฑไธบโไบๅฅโ๏ผ่ฟไพฟๆฏไบๅฅไธฐๅๅญ็ๆฅๅใ๏ผ
After being promoted to Big Brother, Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) advocated "harmony is the most precious" and did not use violence to resolve disputes. At the same time, he focused on maintaining coordination with the dynasty, reducing confrontation, and being friendly with the people, and gradually transformed the gang organization into a legal society organization. ๏ผๅไปปโๅคงๅฅโๅ๏ผไบๅฅไธฐๆๅกโๅไธบ่ดตโ๏ผไธๆณ็จๆดๅ่งฃๅณไบ็ซฏ๏ผๅๆถๆณจ้ไธ็ๆไฟๆๅ่ฐ๏ผๅๅฐๅฏนๆ๏ผไบฒๅๆฐไผ๏ผ้ๆธๆๅธฎๆดพ็ป็ปๆน้ ไธบๅๆณ็็คพๅข็ป็ปใ๏ผ
At that time, there was a "Dutch-born" gang in Siam, which was composed of Dutch and Siamese and was quite powerful. Once, a French prince came to visit Siam and was kidnapped by a "Dutch student". Out of justice, Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) led more than a dozen congregation members to rescue the French prince, and his reputation became very popular. The smaller Hua Siam gangs borrowed heavily or turned to him, and they had to ask Er-Ge Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) to come forward if they had troubles, and even the King of Siam looked at him with admiration. ๏ผๅฝๆถๆนไบฌๆไธชโ่ทๅ

The Flower Fair (่ฑไผ)
At the beginning of gaining power, coincided with the financial difficulties of the Thai dynasty, the fifth king decided to start gambling and taxation, and private organizations needed to come forward. Zheng Zhiyong relied on his social power and matched the social situation in Thailand at that time, contracted the "gambling rate" of the Royal Siamese government, opened the "Flower Club" casino, and formed a huge gambling taxation network. The general manager, banquets (gamblers), bodyguards, waiters, no fewer than thousands of people, collected a lot of taxes for the dynasty.

"Huahui Factory" (่ฑไผๅ) of Siam Capital's gambling industry was one of the important tax sources of the dynasty. But in this industry, underworld and gang forces have always intervened, and it is difficult to control and operate. As a result, a Chaozhou native of Surname Hu (่กๅง) lost after contracting. Er-Ger Feng (ไบๅฅไธฐ) was gaining momentum, and King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn) of Siam asked him to contract the entire Siam Flower Fair. ๏ผๆนไบฌ็ๅๅฝฉไธโ่ฑไผๅโ๏ผๆฏ็ๆ็้่ฆ็จๆบไนไธใไฝ่ฟไธ่กไธ๏ผๅๆฅ้ป็คพไผๅๅธฎๆดพๅฟๅๆๆๅ
