The next night, the three of them continued to watch the second semi-final between Italy and Germany.
Pan Yi didn't bet with them this time.
Because he is an assistant coach at AC Milan this season and has changed the original Serie A structure. In theory, he should have the greatest impact on the Italian team at the national team level.
So Pan Yi was not as sure as yesterday, and just watched the game with them silently.
However, Italy's coach Prandelli seems to prefer to use his most commonly used "Juventus set" to play games.
In this semi-final, he deployed four future Juventus veterans on the defense: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini, and also used Marchisio and Pirlo in the midfield.
In addition to the combination of De Rossi, not a single Milan player was included.
Therefore, the process of this game is still the same as Pan Yi's memory in his previous life!
In the 20th minute, the Italian team took the lead!
Chiellini made a direct pass. Cassano turned around on the left to get rid of Boateng and Hummels. Balotelli shook off Badstuber and scored with a header 5 meters in front of the goal.
In the 36th minute, Bashen scored twice!
Montolivo made a 50-meter long pass from the left side of the backcourt. Balotelli turned around in response to offside and let the ball take a step forward with his left foot. Before Ram could catch up, he volleyed the outside of the penalty area with the instep of his right foot and hit the upper right corner.
,2 to 0.
The scene of Balotelli taking off his jersey to show off his muscles, and Marchisio rushing up to hug him passionately, is exactly the same as what Pan Yi remembered.
Although Germany later pulled a goal back, they were unable to make a comeback.
In the end, Italy defeated Germany 2:1 and advanced to the final, where they will compete with Spain for the European Cup championship.
"Yeah!" The final whistle sounded, and Pan Ying jumped up from the sofa first.
"Have you become an Italian fan again?" Pan Yi looked at his sister with suspicion, "Why are you so excited?"
"Hey, didn't you tell me the score yesterday? I went to bet on it myself." Pan Ying said proudly, "Of course, I didn't dare to guess the score, it was too difficult to win. I bet on Italy to win, and sure enough I won!"<
/p>
"So awesome..." Valentina also came over, "It seems that everyone is optimistic about Germany."
Pan Ying nodded: "Yes, the odds of Germany winning are 1.86, while the odds of Italy winning are 4.46!"
"Then how much did you bet?" Pan Yi asked.
"100 euros! So I've made money now..." Pan Ying stretched out her finger, "Forget it, it's just a few hundred anyway!"
Valentina smiled and said: "Remember to treat us."
"That's necessary!" Pan Yingzhi was satisfied and glanced at Pan Yi again, "If some people don't help me make money, I won't treat them to delicious food!"
Pan Yi smiled calmly: "Isn't there still a final? Look, what are the odds of the final now?"
"Seeing as I've made money, you want to gamble again?" Pan Ying snorted, but still turned on her phone to check, "The bookmaker is really fast. The odds came out so quickly. Italy won 2.11, tied 3.15.
Spain wins 3.65, which seems to be slightly optimistic about Spain."
"It's all so low..." Pan Yi asked again, "Does anyone guess the score?"
"Yes, what about 1:0, 2:1, 1:1, these are the most common..."
"What is 4:0? Spain 4:0 Italy."
"What!?" Pan Ying jumped up, "How could you think of such a score? This is the European Cup final! Moreover, Spain and Italy were tied in the group stage. Their strengths should be equal. I think it will be a draw again.
Most likely."
"First tell me what the odds are for this score."
"Okay...it's 500 to 1. That means...it's almost impossible."
"Then bet 1,000 euros for me and have some fun."
"Oh." Pan Ying responded, and suddenly her eyes widened again, "How much? 1,000 yuan? You think it's too much money, right? Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this."
"Just do as I say." Pan Yi said with a smile,
"Otherwise, if you lose, it's mine, and if you win, I'll give you 10% of the dividend."
"That's it...how much is the 10% dividend...forget it, okay then." Pan Ying immediately started operating on her mobile phone, "Anyway, I reminded you, don't blame me if you lose."
Pan Yi smiled and said nothing.
According to the trend of this European Cup, it is estimated that it will still follow Pan Yi's original history in his previous life. In the end, Spain will defeat Italy 4:0 to win the championship.
With such a score, on the one hand, the current Spanish team is indeed at its peak, a bit invincible;
On the other hand, Italy's game was a bit weak. Chiellini was soon off the field due to injury. Later, Motta was injured as soon as he came on as a substitute. Italy, which had used up the number of substitutions, finished the last half hour with 10 people.<
/p>
But now, how could anyone think that such a score would appear in the European Cup final?
So the odds must be high.
Of course, this kind of odds of 500 to 1 is not particularly outrageous. As far as Pan Yi can remember, Brazil 1:7 Germany, and Leicester City's Premier League championship, all cost thousands.
However, that is a matter of the next few years.
As Pan Yi stays in this world longer and longer, his influence on football will definitely become greater and greater. By then, the development trajectory of many competitions will not be as "smooth" as it is today.
A very simple example, Milan players such as Abate and Gattuso who were selected for the Italian national team this year have limited influence on the team because they cannot play as the main force, so it is difficult to affect the original outcome.
It is now obvious to the naked eye that Leicester City will lack core players such as Kante and Vardy. Their time to reach the Premier League in the future may be delayed, let alone win the championship.
So, Pan Yi is betting on football now.
Of course, he would not throw all his wealth into a small gamble.
After all, we are betting on the score, so what if there are still some variables?
Moreover, such a "small bet" won't easily attract much attention if you win money.

Pan Yi still believes in the professionalism of European professional bookmakers and will not tamper with the game just because of his small amount of money.
They actually rely on technology to make a living, constantly changing the odds based on the strength and status of both sides of the game, including the flow of funds, ultimately allowing the gaming company to make steady money.
How tired would they be if they had to perform so-called "hands-on-deck" in every game?
Let’s not talk about how much money they have to spend to buy out those players who are all multi-millionaires and regard honor as their destiny. I don’t know how high the cost is-imagine you pay to buy Ronaldo or Messi.
Let's let them lose a World Cup knockout match.
How many players have worked hard to be selected for the national team to participate in major competitions such as the European Cup and World Cup, only to have them match-fix in order to match the odds? Do you believe this?
Also, there are so many betting companies in the world, do they want to join forces to control the game?
So which company will take the lead, how will the bribe money be shared, and how will the benefits be calculated?
Is it really that complicated?
Many gamblers’ so-called various market predictions and conspiracy theories are actually using some elementary school mathematics knowledge to find patterns in huge data, which is all nonsense.
After all, in the eyes of some people, the result that they did not guess is match-fixing.
As for match-fixing, of course it exists objectively.
But most of them are due to other factors, such as interest relationships between teams, players gambling on their own, or selling personal favors. Corresponding examples of these can be found in history.
For gambling companies, these are unstable factors that are beyond their calculations. In fact, they hate such incidents!
Of course, the above analysis is limited to football betting.
Pan Yi believes that if he really remembered the numbers of a certain sports lottery or welfare lottery in 2012, and then bought such a bet now...
Then, the final number will definitely not be the original number.
At this time, it would be easy for him to "change history".
