As an aristocratic lord with lofty ideals and noble moral sentiments, Bruno has long been separated from the low taste generally possessed by the aristocratic lords of the Norman Empire. (How strange!)
Therefore, allowing the people of Idar to have a richer spiritual and cultural life, allowing them to relax and rest between busy work, and achieve a balance between work and rest, is what Bruno has always pursued.
"The ball is in! The ball is in!"
Suddenly, the Idar people in the auditorium suddenly became excited. They stood up from their seats, spread their arms, and cheered.
Bailey Orlando, who played for the Cannonball team, scored another goal, finally bringing the score back to a two-two tie on the court.
Most of the members of the "Fire of Artillery" team are from the Idar Artillery Corps, while the members of the "Army's Strongest" team are mainly from the First Army of the Idar Army.
All along, the strength of the "Army's Strongest" team has been steadily better than that of the "Firefight" team, but this time... Bailey Orlando's temporary addition greatly increased the strength of the "Fireworks" team, giving this game a
It adds a lot of suspense.
"Gan! You little bastards from the Cannonball Team, cheer me up. If you can win today's game, then after you retire, I will personally take you to have a night chat!"
This voice sounded quite familiar. When Bruno followed the voice and looked around, he couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.
Because the guy who shouted was really familiar to him. That person was obviously Idar Army Commander-in-Chief Sam Layton who sneaked out to watch the game during his weekend break.
And what makes Bruno most speechless is that just ten minutes ago, Sam Layton also shouted the same words to the "Army's Strongest" team, thus ensuring that no matter which team wins, he will be able to get the night talk
opportunity...
However, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, these two teams belong to the same order of Idar's army. Only by shouting once from both sides will they not be criticized for favoring one over the other. It can be considered that the rain and dew have been shared equally.
"Bailey Orlando!"
While the people cheered for this goal, Bailey Orlando, a young man adopted from the Qidian Orphanage, also received applause from the audience.
Bruno's seat was of course separated from the people in Idar's territory, so while cheering for this increasingly anxious football match with the Idar people, Bruno was also quietly observing Idar in the audience.
People.
Football is a magical sport. It has proven to Bruno time and time again that it is the "number one sport in the world" (this entry comes from Baidu Encyclopedia, anti-collision warning).
Whether they are a tough guy or a delicate boy, they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the game, cheering for every goal and sighing for every tiny mistake.
Therefore, seeing Idar football gradually becoming standardized, Bruno came up with the idea of organizing the Idar Super League.
Especially in the area north of the Solon River where there are a large number of refugees, Mike's preaching can soothe the mental trauma of the people, and the existence of football can also divert the limited attention of the people at the bottom.
Although it is just a seemingly inconspicuous sport, it is undeniable that if football can become popular throughout the Principality of Idar under its own promotion, this sport can make a considerable contribution to the stability of social order.
and,
Although Bruno is a noble who has escaped from low-level tastes, he can definitely use football to create extra income for the Principality of Idar.
For example... gambling.
Ticket revenue is definitely not expected. Today's football venues in Idar have no fixed venues at all. Just build a few auditoriums with racks and it can be regarded as a "regular" game.
Therefore, the football lottery has become an idea that lingers in Bruno's mind.
It is better to bet than to be careful.
Even if Bruno doesn't do it, with the popularity of football in the Principality of Idar, sooner or later some smart people who see business opportunities will see the hidden profits.
Therefore, it is better for him to take a step forward and standardize and institutionalize it, so that football betting led by the Principality of Idar becomes the only legal gambling activity in the entire Principality of Idar.
You know, as long as it is done properly, football betting developed based on the Idar Super League is definitely a mouth-watering piece of cake!
"After the game, go to Kallio and tell him to recruit some good accountants from the Idar Chamber of Commerce. I can put them to good use!" Bruno ordered.
"Eh."
Mundell, who was serving Bruno, quickly responded.
There is a lot of knowledge involved in gambling.
If it is just a simple bet on winning or losing, how can it reflect the strong character of Idar's gambling industry?
If you win, how many goals you win, if you lose, how many goals you lose, when the goal is scored, and who scores the goal, you can bet on these!
Coupled with all kinds of complex odds, these scattered things can make people dizzy just by looking at them, but if you can play this digital game well, football betting will definitely make money.
A losing trade.
Of course,
To put it nicely, it is called gambling, but to put it more directly, it is actually gambling.
Therefore, there are definitely pros and cons to football betting.
Bruno knew very well that in the process of the development of this industry, it is inevitable that some people will bet on luck and eventually lead to bankruptcy. Therefore... once it is decided to liberalize football betting activities, restrictions on civilian participation will also be necessary.
Work it out as soon as possible.
For example, according to Bruno's idea, civilians must provide valid identification when participating in gambling, and the monthly betting limit cannot exceed five copper coins.
If someone is found to bet on his behalf, the Idar Public Security Bureau will directly expel the bettor’s family from the Principality of Idar!
Only by taking a heavy blow can the negative effects of football betting be minimized.
And to be honest,
Bruno really looked down upon the three melons and two dates contributed by the common people.
Therefore, this restriction on the amount of betting is only limited to civilians.
Noble gentlemen have special privileges!
As a member of the aristocracy of the Norman Empire, how could we abide by the same legal provisions as the common people?
Therefore, nobles can naturally participate in any legal gambling activities. In this way, not only the privileges and dignity of noble gentlemen are maintained, but also the Principality of Idar can get such a small profit, which is simply perfect!
Bruno was so preoccupied with football betting that the game came to an end almost in the blink of an eye.
With the help of Bailey Orlando, the Blazing Team secured the victory with a three-to-two advantage, and the people in the audience couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Your Majesty, Bailey Orlando is here!"
After the game, Mondale immediately led Pele Orlando to Bruno.
Oops!
What a handsome young man!
From a distance, I just think my figure looks strong, but up close, I can see that I am half as handsome as I am!
"Duke...Master Bruno..."
Bailey Orlando looked quite nervous when he met the supreme ruler of this land for the first time.
"Sir Mundell has already told me that I am willing to join your...club!" Although he was quite nervous, Bailey Orlando still said firmly.
Bailey Orlando loves football, and the Duke in front of him obviously hopes that he can continue to run on the green field, not to mention the money!
therefore……
He had no reason to refuse at all.
"I'm optimistic about you!"
Patting Orlando on the shoulder, Bruno said affirmatively.
In Bruno's view, cultivating a football superstar may allow football to be integrated into the lives of the people of Idar more quickly...
