Chapter 61: Admitting defeat at the expense of all the money
"Is it solved?" The man wearing an iron armor uniform asked with a cynical look on his face.
"It is indeed a monkey. Although his internal energy level is average, his body skills are very flexible." The man dressed in strong clothes said solemnly.
"Haha, are you lost?" the other party said with a bad smile.
"Huh, if you jump into the river after being hit by me, you won't survive." The man said, turning around and entering the camp.
The man in iron armor curled his lips and stopped sarcastic. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at A Diao, who had lost his breath.
Walking up to him, the man touched the other person's neck and made sure that the person was indeed dead, then he spoke softly:
"You know I'm in front of you, but you still want to turn around and remind him that he is your very good brother, right? Don't worry, he will go down to accompany you soon. Oh, by the way, you said you want to know who won the first game?
"
As he spoke, he pulled off a strip of cloth from Atiao's shirt and continued:
"Don't worry, if I know the result, I will write it on it and burn it for you."
After saying that, the man grabbed A Diao's foot with one hand and dragged him into the tent like a dead dog.
The man opened the tent curtain and entered the tent, only to see four people inside the tent at this time.
The strong man who had just entered the camp and was engaged in dressing up was now standing on the far left.
"Fourth, fifth, why are you so slow?" the leader, a bald man, asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's all Lao Wu's fault. He dealt with a strong man in the Qi Realm and let him run away!" The man in the iron armor of the guard yelled first.
The bald man glanced at Lao Wu. Lao Wu pondered for a moment and replied: "If you take a slap from me and jump into the river, you will die."
The bald man nodded slightly and ordered: "When the second and third sons recover, go see Mr. Shui in the evening."
The fourth child dragged A'Diao's body to the back hall of the camp, and saw that there were already three corpses here. Two of them had their coats stripped off, and one was wearing the clothes of a strong man.
Lao Si threw A Diao's body to the ground, took off the iron chain armor on his body, threw it on one of the corpses that had been stripped of its coat, and muttered:
"It's so hard to wear something so heavy!"
The fourth child walked back to the front hall of the camp and glanced at the second child who was still recovering cross-legged. The third child walked up to the fifth child and whispered to him:
"This village is not big, but there are many good people."
Lao Wu clasped his hands on his chest, nodded and said:
"We discovered it in the previous battle. Not to mention the monkey who ran away just now, it's not easy for the guard Tie Yi and the two strong men in the back hall to do it."
The fourth child nodded and replied: "Yes, this is a sneak attack with the five of us. He can still hurt the second child and the third child. Tsk, tsk, if the boss hadn't taken action, I guess even the four of us could have taken down those three.
, he will also suffer serious injuries.”
Having said this, the fourth child changed his lazy look before and said seriously:
"And that guy named A Diao is also very skilled. Although he is definitely not as good as me, he is really cool to be able to dodge my even smarter knife in such a cool way."
Lao Wu smiled slightly and said: "A sword that can be dodged is not a cool sword."
The fourth old man laughed and retorted: "Then you slapped the opponent and let him run away. Isn't this a cool slap?"
Lao Wu ignored the other party and murmured in a low voice:
"Death is dead, but why did you jump into the river?" But no one present heard what he said——
Dividing line--
By the Chunfeng River, Ouye Trading Company.
"What? The other side abstained from the first match?" a man yelled.
"Yes, I heard that too. The boy named Qi Chengcheng actually abstained from voting." said a woman next to him.
"How could this happen? That Qi Chengcheng's performance in the ring competition is still very eye-catching, his physical skills and skills are very outstanding. Why did he give up without even holding on to half a stick of incense?" The man was very confused by this result.
"After all, the opponent is Zhang Yanshi. Apart from the captain level, they are the strongest people among the guards!" The people next to him also followed suit in the discussion.
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have placed my bet on the match!" Many of them complained.
In the finals of this martial arts competition, in order to make money, merchants divided the odds into two types: victory and defeat bets and battle bets.
Among them, the "win-loss bet" only bets on who wins and who loses in the battle. The "battle bet" refers to how long it takes for one side to defeat the opponent. The grades are also more detailed, ranging from less than half a stick of incense to more than four sticks of incense.
There are. Generally, the battle time rarely exceeds one hour (that is, four sticks of incense), so the battle time of more than four sticks of incense is classified into one level.
Generally, bettors focus on the "win-loss bet", while the "fight bet" is just an add-on.
For example, a person has one hundred taels of silver, of which 90 taels are bets on Zhang Yanshi to win, and the remaining 10 taels are bets on the one within the two sticks of incense. Then based on the handicap before the start of the game, Zhang Yanshi’s winning odds are three bets.
Four, and Zhang Yanshi defeated his opponent within half a stick of incense (including his opponent admitting defeat). Then, this person's winning bet will be 120 taels, and the battle bet will be zero.
If this person's 10 taels of battle bet is within half an incense stick, then according to the odds, Zhang Shiyan's odds of winning within half an incense stick are 1 to 10. Then this person's winning or losing bet will get 120 taels.
The bet received one hundred taels, a total of two hundred and twenty taels.
"Have you noticed that in the first battle, the odds of betting within half a stick of incense are not very high!" Someone at the scene suddenly shouted.
For a moment, everyone looked at the curtain announcing the handicap. The curtain showed that in the first battle, the battle bet, the odds for the block within half a stick of incense were 10 to 1.
Although the odds are not low, the odds of half a stick of incense are obviously much lower.
For example, in the battle between Zhao Long and Li Xintian, the odds for half a stick of incense were 50 to 1.
After all, everyone is the winner through the ring battle, and few people believe that they will not be able to hold on to even half a stick of incense.
"Yes, why is it so low?" People speculated one after another.
At this time, a young man emerged from the crowd. He was wearing a moon-white open dress, with a gold ring tying the ponytail at the back of his head. He was wearing cyan trousers with the trouser legs stuffed into a pair of deerskin boots.
.
The young man swaggered up to the counter of Ouye Trading Company, slapped the chips in his hand, and shouted: "Where are you? I'm here to exchange money. Please prepare some money for me!"
"Huh? Isn't this Qi Chengcheng who just participated in the competition? Did he also place a bet?" Many people recognized the funny boy and asked questions.
The clerk from Ouye Trading Company respectfully took the calculation and soon took out a small box with a thick stack of banknotes neatly placed in it.
Qi Chengcheng didn't count the money, picked up the banknotes, winked at the clerk, and ducked into the crowd.
Only then did people realize that Qi Chengcheng had placed a heavy bet before the game, betting that he would lose, and that he would lose the game within half a stick of incense.
Similarly, it was Qi Chengcheng who spent a lot of money on his own loss, which caused Zhang Yanshi's odds of winning within half a stick of incense to drop.
Because when merchants open orders, in addition to handling fees, they have to make money no matter what they do, and they cannot lose money doing business.
Just as Qi Chengcheng was causing big things at Ouye Trading Company, there was also a group of people on the other side of the Chunfeng River who were paying close attention to the goings-on on the Chunfeng River. Here is an explanation of the "win or lose bets" and "combat bets"
The mode here is similar to sports betting or gambling. The winning or losing bet is similar to the sports lottery betting on who will win. Based on the strength of the two parties and the financial situation of the market, a certain odds are set, and the odds change in real time before the game starts.
Battle bets are similar to gambling. How many balls are pressed, how many are compared. Currently, in martial arts competitions, battle bets are divided into nine levels: within half an incense stick, within one stick of incense, within one and a half sticks of incense, within two sticks of incense,
Within two and a half sticks of incense, within three sticks of incense, within three and a half sticks of incense, within four sticks of incense, and above four sticks of incense. Since ancient times, handicaps have been opened, and the more divisions there are, the more the banker makes, so the profitability of battle bets is better
