Tony was slightly startled. He hesitated at first, but in the end he chose No. 6 according to Victor's prompts.
Seeing Tony choose No. 6, the gentleman with the white crown mocked him directly: "Do you know what my winning rule is? Avoid the bet you chose."
After saying that, he pressed No. 8.
As the signal gun was fired, the first group of ten horses rushed out. After running around the field, No. 6 came in second place, No. 3 in third place, and No. 9 in first place...
Tony immediately clenched his fists and laughed, while the man next to him frowned.
Victor still didn't understand why Tony, who came in second place, was so happy, so he asked him about the rules of horse racing betting.
Tony explained quickly.
Generally, there are two betting modes for Sanfran horse racing.
The first is to directly bet on a number, that is, the horse's number, like they did just now. The bet amount is fixed and the odds are relatively low. If the number you bet on wins first place, you can win twice the amount of money you bet.
, the second place will be 0.8, the third place will be 0.35, and the fourth place will return the amount of the bet, no loss or win.
Those who finish fourth or below will lose everything, and the racecourse organizer will take it all.
Then the second type of bet is that there is no upper limit on the bet. You can bet as much as you want, and you can directly guess the first number. The odds are very high.
These two betting methods are the favorite of most gamblers.
However, there is actually a third mode, which is to guess the top three numbers. To win, you have to guess all the numbers correctly. That one is the most difficult, and generally not many people play it.
In other words, in the previous game, although the horse Tony bet on did not finish first, he still won money, so he was very happy.
The number 8 that the man bet on happened to finish fourth, so he won or lost.
However, after comparing the two, Tony beat the other party, so he was even happier.
"The light will occasionally favor people like you, Mr. Tony..." The man still looked arrogant, and did not doubt himself because of the small defeat. "But in the next game, I decided to directly bet on the third one."
I’ve got one person’s number. I’ll bet 100 French cards. Do you dare to follow?”
100 farka...rich people...
Victor sighed.
He didn't know Tony's income, but his own income was currently 20 faraka per week, and 100 faraka was equivalent to a month's income.
Tony is the branch chief, and his rank is the same as Victor's, so he should be about the same.
"Follow!" He was in high spirits, relying on Victor's help and not hiding his desire to win, "I will make you never laugh again from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at Victor and begged in a low voice: "I still have to rely on you for the next one..."
Victor sighed and immediately made fortune-telling decisions.
"Xiaoji, the mastermind is one, five, seven... choose among these three numbers..."
This round they adopted the second betting method, which was to select the number that placed first. The range of these three numbers was still too large. If they chose the wrong number, they would lose money even if they came in second.
Victor continued to analyze the hexagrams.
"Xiaoji belongs to wood..."
He observed it to see if there was anything related to the wood attribute on the second batch of horses.
"Only one of the horses has a saddle made of wood. It looks bulky and rough. Well... I chose it, No. 7!"
Tony immediately followed Victor's instructions and chose number seven.
The guy with the white crown frowned when he saw this, and then started to mock.
"That horse is so fat, top-heavy, and has thin and long legs. It can't run fast at all. The saddle on its back is larger than other saddles, and the load will be correspondingly heavy. I really don't know why you chose it.
But 100 faraka, Mr. Tony, have you thought clearly about it?"
Tony ignored him and kept his attention on the field.
The guy was breathing heavily from his nose and was a little angry, so he directly paid for the white horse No. 6, which looked very strong and carried a light load.
As the command gun sounded, the fierce horses rushed out at the same time.
As expected, No. 6 rushed to the front, leaving the other horses far behind. The No. 7 chosen by Victor and the others only ran in the 5th or 6th place in the middle.
"Damn it! We're already halfway done!" Tony stood up anxiously.
Victor frowned, feeling that things were not that simple, so when Tony wasn't paying attention, he drew a yang talisman on his back.
With the blessing of Yang Fu's luck, things took a turn for the better.
Although No. 7 started slowly, he was able to maintain a constant speed. Unlike others, he became tired when he reached two-thirds of the way, and his speed slowed down as a result, and he was overtaken by No. 7.
Soon, No. 7 was in second place, only about ten meters away from No. 6 in front.
However, they are about to reach the finish line. According to the speed of No. 6, even if it is much slower than when it started, it is impossible for No. 7 to catch up.
The guy in the white crown finally couldn't hold back his excitement and stood up and clapped wildly. He probably had a line to humiliate Tony in mind.
But just when the horse was about to cross the finish line, an accident suddenly happened.
It didn't know what it kicked, and it fell straight down, sending the rider on its back flying far away.
Therefore, No. 7 seized the opportunity to surpass it and crossed the finish line steadily.
"What!!?" The man who had just become excited was immediately stunned, "This is impossible! This is an accident, it must be... it's you!"
He said, turning around and pointing at Tony: "What exactly did you do?"
"Hey!" Tony looked at the other party helplessly, "I've been sitting in the stands, what can I do?"
"No! I want to apply for an inspection of the venue. There must be nails or something there!" The man pointed at Tony's nose, yelled, and wanted to call the racecourse management staff.
Tony grabbed his finger and his expression turned cold instantly: "Let me remind you, do you know who the guy you are pointing at now is? What will happen if you falsely accuse me? Do you want to try it?"
If you bet on horses, bet on horses, and if you lose, you must be convinced. If you want to go beyond the rules of horse racing and find trouble for yourself, Tony Carlos, as the sub-director of the Police Bureau, has the means to do so.
After hearing this, the man's expression suddenly changed, he glanced at Victor next to Tony, and finally got up and left with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Tell me a joke, you can always beat me, hahaha! Come again next time!? Don't tell me, you have lost all your salary this month, right?"
After teasing the other party's departure, Tony turned back and took back the money he won from the racecourse staff, feeling very happy.
He looked at Victor and said to him: "Do it again!"
"Are you coming?" Victor was a little unhappy, "That guy was so angry with you."
"I'm not just trying to deal with him." Tony geared up, "Try to guess the top three, and the odds are very scary. I'll take advantage of him and make a huge profit from him!"
Victor frowned and did not agree.
Tony began to beg: "Just for the last time, I will help you settle the guarantor matter when this is done."
Victor shook his head helplessly, but finally stretched out his hand, ready to make fortune-telling predictions.
But this time, he didn't calculate anything good, and the hexagram came to "Chikou".
Victor's face changed slightly, and when he was about to think about it, two investigators from the Inspection Bureau appeared at the intersection. They spotted Tony Carlos sitting with Victor at a glance, and walked over.
