Chapter 45 Betting
"Brother Yuan, you just shouted at the door, asking for money to place a bet. You also said that if you miss it, you will lose a lot. It seems that you know who you buy will win."
Xu Yi reached out to pick up the copper pot, refilled a cup of tea for Master Zhou, and asked with a smile.
Yuan Qinghua said, "Proprietor, I don't know. The high climber who ended up this time is extraordinary. He is a strong man who has been in the Purple Flag Arena eight times. It should be noted that this arena is a life and death arena. He can survive eight times in the arena.
, which is enough to prove Gao Pan’s unparalleled strength. On the other hand, Gao Pan’s opponent, the little-known Yi Shenqi, although he has been praised as a god, who has seen him take action..."
"Bragging about Yi Shenzu? What's the point of that?"
Xu Yi interrupted, he guessed that Yi Shenquan was him, but he couldn't figure out how he got the aura of Shenzuo by sneaking into Guang'an for no reason.
Yuan Qinghua said, "Proprietor, you are asking someone. If you ask others, I am afraid you will be confused. Only a veteran like me who has been among the three sects and nine streams in Guang'an for countless years knows the truth."
"What nonsense!" Xu Yi said seductively.
Yuan Qinghua said sarcastically, "The proprietor doesn't know something. This is actually a smoke bomb and enchantment array released by a group of gambling stalls. In this fight, because the end result is Gao Pan, the number of winners and losers is almost certain. And the opening of the gambling stalls
I am most afraid of betting on a game that is destined to result, because the betting stall is almost 10% sure to lose. However, I have to accept the betting, otherwise it will ruin the sign. At this point, the betting stall has only two tricks left. "
"One trick is to desperately lower Gao Pan's odds. Take this time, for example, Gao Pan's odds of winning, even the highest betting odds are only 1 in 10. Another trick is to keep building momentum for the weak.
Spread false news about how the weak are strong and how they hide their secrets to confuse the public. Of course, these tactics are not useless. They cannot fool experienced people, but they can cause chaos in the city and make people who don't know what is going on confused. After all,
There are also quite a few boudoir girls and noble ladies who like this, have limited eyesight, and have poor gambling skills. They are seduced by this fake news and come to gamble for huge amounts of money."
As he listened, Xu Yi had a smile on his face, "I wonder what the odds are for Yi Shen to catch you?"
"Two for one!"
"What, how could it be like this? Gao Pan's odds are 1 to 10, which proves that everyone is optimistic about Gao Pansheng. In this case, shouldn't Yi Shenqi's odds be 1 to 1? How come it's only 1 to 2?
Isn’t it too shady to open odds like this? How can both the pros and cons offer low odds?”
Xu Yi was very unhappy. He deliberately wanted to make a fortune in gambling, but unexpectedly he ran into a profiteer and his dream came to nothing.
Yuan Qinghua said, "For such a gambling game that gamblers are sure to win, the gambling stalls are willing to accept it, and they are willing to do it. How can the gamblers dare to complain about the gambling stalls? As for the odds of Yi Shenquan, why did the gambling stalls not open to one
Paying dozens of dollars to attract poor people to fight for their lives is nothing more than an attempt to support the rumors they spread."
"Just imagine, if the odds of Yishenquan are tens to one, it will put the market on the table that the market is not optimistic about Yishenquan. The rumors spread will not last long and no big fish will be caught. On the contrary, if
Paying one in the dozens would seem like too much bragging, and rumors can easily expose the truth. After all, Yi Shenquan is just a fabrication, but Gao Pan is real and powerful. If you want to pretend that the rumors fabricated by the gambling stalls are true, they must not be true.
It’s too outrageous. Therefore, the odds of 2 to 1 are the most reasonable.”
Yuan Qinghua has been living in Dongcheng for these years. She has lived a rough life and endured hardships. She has not saved any money. The reason is due to gambling. Apart from maintaining a living, the rest of this guy's hard-earned money is spent on gambling.
.
Although I lost more than I won, I still gained experience from gambling, and I was very familiar with the bells and whistles of the gambling stalls.
After listening to Yuan Qinghua's analysis, Xu Yi secretly scolded the profiteers and could only cry bad luck in his heart.
Xu Yi was silent, but Yuan Qinghua was impatient and shouted, "Proprietor, we can't afford to delay. We have to place our bets as early as possible. If this trend develops, the odds will have to be lowered. I'm afraid it will be lowered again."
Later, it will be one for forty and one for fifty. Besides, I bought it myself, why is the proprietor still hesitating? Look, this is my gambling ticket. I will earn your ten gold today and my other two.
All my ten gold coins were smashed in!" As he said that, he reached out and pulled out a piece of red, palm-sized cardboard.
"Okay, stop spitting, I'll just place the bet!"
Xu Yi hired Yuan Qinghua just to do this job. He immediately took out a stack of gold tickets from his pocket and slapped them on the stone table, "Total one thousand two hundred gold, I bought them all."
The nine hundred gold extorted from Jiang Shaochuan, together with the original three hundred and fifty gold, Xu Yi's assets totaled one thousand two hundred and fifty gold. With the one thousand two hundred gold, it was considered an all-out effort.
Yuan Qinghua had known that the proprietor was so arrogant, but she didn't expect that he would be so arrogant. Even if he bets one thousand two hundred gold, even the children of the aristocratic families in the city, not many would dare to play like this.
"That's great, proprietor, don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I can. I'll try to buy it back for you at 10% off at 30%."
Yuan Qinghua was afraid that the odds would change, so she grabbed the golden ticket and clutched it tightly before running away.
"Wait a minute, I haven't said who to buy yet. Buy them all from Yishenqu. Whichever has the highest odds, I'll buy it."
Xu Yi grabbed Yuan Qinghua's wrist and explained in a deep voice.
"What!"
Yuan Qinghua was so shocked that her hair almost stood up, "Proprietor, you are not mistaken! This is like throwing money into the water. If you think the money is hot, you can give it to me!"
"What nonsense, do you know who Yi Shenqi is?"
"Maybe the proprietor knows me!"
"It's your boss!"
Yuan Qinghua's eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost during the day. She recalled the name of her proprietor and the signboard of the Furong Town Patrol Yamen Office in Guang'an hanging in front of the door. Everything became clear.
"This, this, how..."
Yuan Qinghua's words were incoherent.
He really didn't know what to say. He wanted to persuade the proprietor to flee quickly, but he also knew that the moment the odds were announced in the gambling stall, the house here was under strict surveillance. He wanted to comfort the proprietor that Gao Pan was not invincible, but this
They talked about personnel matters, but nothing came out; what was even more helpless was that he had just been hired, and before he came, he had even canceled the rent of the house in Dongcheng and had to pay homage. Seeing that before he officially started work, the owner's life was in danger.
No, God, isn't this kidding me?
Xu Yi was thoughtful and knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Don't be stunned. I know how many pounds I have. Hurry up and place a bet for me. Don't worry, even if I die on the stage, you will only be a year old."
Someone will also pay the commission.”
Yuan Qinghua's eyebrows changed, and she said urgently, "Proprietor! How could I do this because of a mere commission? That's all, that's all, it's a matter of loyalty and trust, proprietor, wait a minute!" After saying that, he became weak.
Chapter completed!
