Chapter 796: Changing Odds
…
Robert Stillman thought for a while and then asked: "What is the odds of Liu Dong winning the second game now?"
"Fifty for one!" the middle-aged man said quickly.︽,
This is a common method in gambling. When the outcome of a game is almost determined, the bookmaker will often set very low odds for the losing side, and many people obviously know that even if they bet on this, they will probably lose money.
, but if you are not short of money, you will also bet on an upset that has only a one-in-10,000 chance. After all, if you win, you will gain dozens of times.
Of course, it is impossible to win more than 99% of the time, but by accumulating a small amount into a large amount, the banker can gain considerable benefits from it.
Just like now, although many people think that Liu Dong will definitely lose in the second game, many people will bet on the high odds of losing 50, even though the funds are only one or two million US dollars, sometimes even
It is not enough for the super rich to hold a luxurious party, but even these two million US dollars, when gathered into a tower, can reach as much as two to three billion US dollars!
If Liu Dong loses normally, all the money belongs to the banker!
Normally, Rofit Stillman would not have any doubts about this odds, but now he suddenly received a huge bet of 350 million US dollars from Steven Rockefeller, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Somewhat hesitant.
Because once Liu Dong wins, according to the odds of losing 1 to 50, the bet of 500 million US dollars means that as the banker, they must pay out 25 billion US dollars!
25 billion U.S. dollars. Even if the Stillman family is a big business and the Boston consortium has hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, if they really spend so much money, although it will not hurt the roots, it will still be a cut from them.
Big chunks of meat!
This is too unacceptable for greedy capitalists!
Of course, if they don’t take the money and offend so many super-rich people, then they won’t be able to stay in the United States!
Thinking of this, Rofit Stillman couldn't help but break into a cold sweat!
"Charlie, tell the betting desk immediately that we are going to announce Liu Dong's odds again!" After walking around the room for a few times, Rofit Stillman made up his mind.
Regardless of whether Steven Rockefeller had an occasional convulsion or he really believed that Liu Dong could win, Robert Stillman couldn't take the risk!
Otherwise his future will be completely ruined!
"Well, Master! What do you think is the appropriate standard for us to set the odds?"
"Charlie, what do you think?" Rofit said.
"How about we pay twenty for one?"
"No, it's still too high. Let's pay ten for one!" Luofit said after thinking about it.
"Master, if we pay ten to one, I'm afraid we will lose money in this game!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but persuade.
After all, without the tempting high odds, no one would be interested in an upset that doesn't make much money! In addition, middle-aged people don't think Liu Dong can win the second unlimited challenge.
"Then let's pay fifteen to one! We already made enough money in the last game, there's no need to take more risks!" Luofit hesitated for a while and then said.
If it weren't for the fact that raising Liu Dong's odds would cause chaos in the betting formats of many wealthy people in the fighting arena, Luofit would definitely continue to raise the odds.
"I understand, Master! I'll do it right now!"
"Wait! Who are we planning for the second game?"
"It's 'Crazy' Alan Dilla!" the middle-aged man Charlie said immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Rofitt immediately shook his head, "Substitute, let Hogan come on!"
"Hogan?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
Marcus Hogan is one of the two strongest black boxers in the Poseidon Fighting Arena. Hogan, nicknamed 'Man-Eating Shark', is 1.96 meters tall, weighs 118 kilograms, bench presses 140 kilograms, and squats 580 meters.
Kilogram.
Hogan is extremely powerful and looks like a black iron tower. His iron legs are deadly and he often kicks his opponent's legs off. Although his speed is relatively slow, he has a suffocating attack speed.
Moreover, Marcus Hogan's record has reached a brilliant 266 battles and 266 wins, including 177 kills of opponents. Such a person can truly be said to have fought a hundred battles for the rest of his life, and he is also a super fighter who has fought among real masters.
Master!
There are probably no more than ten people in the world with such horrific records!
"Master, is this appropriate?" Charlie hesitated.
If Hogan were to take part in the second game, I'm afraid no one would be able to beat Liu Dong to win, and there wouldn't even be anyone betting on the underdog!
Because not to mention that Liu Dong has already fought once, even if he has not fought once, facing Hogan, who has participated in 266 unrestricted fighting matches and has never failed, he is destined to fail.
Moreover, few people will be interested in a game where the outcome is too obvious. If you are not interested, no one will bet on it. After all, without suspense, there will be no attraction!
Without the attraction and gambling money, how can they still make money?
"Don't think about making money now. What we want to ensure is to win first. I know Steven, he won't make a sudden move! There must be something about this Liu Dong that we don't understand!" After a moment of silence,
Luofit immediately said, "Have you checked the information I asked you to check?"
"Master, the time is too short. We can only find out what happened after Liu Dong came to the United States. As for other information, it will take a while!" Charlie said quickly.
"I understand, you go down and do your work! In addition, let the Information Department collect any important information about Liu Dong and send it to me immediately!" After nodding, Luofit said.
"Yes, Master! If you have no other instructions, then I will go down and get busy first!"
"Well, let's go down!" Rofitt waved his hand and said.
After Charlie left, looking at the documents and photos about Liu Dong on the table, Luo Feit picked them up again, stared at them for a while and couldn't help but said to himself: "What kind of person are you? Do you really have what I have?"
What don’t you understand? Otherwise, how could that cunning guy Steven bet such a large sum of money on you!”
Liu Dong naturally didn't know the changes that had occurred in the fight organizer because of his sudden huge bet, but Liu Dong could also guess that his odds this time would definitely be lower than in the first game!
"As long as I win this game, at least I can get a huge compensation of 3 billion US dollars! Although it is a lot of money, but with the funds contributed by other people who bet on me and lose, the banker's loss should not exceed 2 billion. Although 2 billion
It's a lot, but when it's divided among Stillman and several big families in the Boston consortium, it's only three to four hundred million per family. Although it makes them feel bad, it's not too crazy! Not to mention the Rockefeller family.
In front!" Thinking of this, Liu Dong became more and more happy.
He can earn so much money from just one boxing match, so all his hard work is not worth it!
"But it's time to stop after a fight!"
Although greed is right, it must be within a certain limit! Otherwise, it will really offend people!
And no one is a fool. He won this game. If the next game is the same, everyone can see the trick, especially the super rich people present who are extremely shrewd!
Therefore, Liu Dong has already made plans to stop after getting one vote.
"But in order to pretend to be more realistic and reduce trouble later, I have to get beaten more this time! I will try to win the game and go to the hospital immediately, so that no one will suspect that I am cheating!"
Thinking of this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's really not easy to make some money these days!"
"Sir, it's your time to play!" Just when Liu Dong was thinking about it, the staff came in and reminded him.
"I understand!" After nodding, Liu Dong tidied up and stood up.
I looked at myself in the mirror, wearing a few band-aids, but my eyes suddenly brightened, and I seemed to be in better spirits than before I was injured!
"This is not okay!"
Liu Dong practiced his skills silently, reducing the color on his face a little, and then put on a slightly tired look in his eyes, nodded secretly in his heart, and then strode out.
As soon as he walked out of the aisle, Liu Dong saw a strong black man already standing on the ring. He was more than 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than himself, with muscles all over his body and a strong body.
The muscles on the strong man's body are not particularly outstanding, but they can definitely be called streamlines, and Liu Dong can feel the powerful power contained in these muscles without using the relic Yuanguang. It is obvious that this guy is the same as the Black Iron Tower.
Another person with outstanding talent and strength like Mu Gang.
Moreover, what surprised Liu Dong just now was that the aura exuding from this man was so violent and bloody, and he didn't even need to be inferior to himself who had hundreds of lives on his hands.
"This is a powerful and terrifying guy!" Liu Dong felt slightly solemn in his heart.
Although he doesn't know who the other party is, the guys who have been through hundreds of lives and deaths are all real hell demons, killing people like crazy and unrivaled in strength!
"Did I offend the fighting arena organizer? Or did they guess my plan? Why did I send such a powerful guy in the second game?"
Although he thought so, Liu Dong couldn't find the answer, but when things came to pass, he couldn't change anything. Fortunately, although it would take a lot of effort to defeat the black iron tower with his strength, it was not difficult to win!
But the real difficulty is that while defeating the Black Iron Tower, you have to win and be seriously injured at the same time!
"Steven, it seems Liu is going to be unlucky this time! 'Man-eating Shark' Marcus Hogan, this is the devil of hell with 266 undefeated victories!" Rogers Dupont laughed.
"Rofitt is a very ruthless guy. He actually sent Hogan here in the second game. Does he have a grudge against Liu?" Matthew Mellon asked.
