The rules of horse racing betting on Hong Kong Island have many similarities with domestic lotteries. For example, the jackpot prize is not fixed, but is based on the amount of bets, minus the dealer's commission, and what is left is the final prize pool.
The odds when betting are also floating, not static, but change in proportion to the final number of bets. The odds when betting are for reference only.
So when Lin Chen and Fang Han placed heavy bets on horse racing No. 7, No. 7, which was originally only a big unpopular, instantly became a favorite, and the odds suddenly increased a lot.
But because no one was optimistic about this horse before, it was an unpopular one. There were very few people who would bet on this horse in the whole game. Therefore, in the end, almost all the prize money from this game was lost to Lin Chen.
I took some time with Fang Han.
After confirming that he could get at least 50 million, Fang Han shouted excitedly.
Although he is the heir to the Fang family, he is strictly controlled by his family. His daily disposable pocket money is only one or two million per month. This fifty million bonus is almost equal to his pocket money for several years!
Moreover, Fang Han has been to the racetrack so many times since he first learned to bet on horses, and this was the first time that he won so much gold.
For two reasons, Fang Han was so excited that he forgot to maintain his dignity as the eldest young man of the Fang family.
"Brother Lin! What should we buy next time?!"
After the excitement, Fang Han did not forget that it was only the third horse race, and they would still have eight races to run.
He rubbed his palms, preparing to follow Lin Chen to make a lot of money and kill him without leaving a trace!
Seeing Lin Chen win two games in a row, Su Ningyu, who was originally resistant to them betting on horse racing, decided not to care anymore and started eating on her own.
Although gambling is bad, if you win everything, it is not gambling.
Since it's not gambling, why should she care about them?
Next was the fourth horse race. Lin Chen was about to calculate which horse would be better to buy when he suddenly saw an odds on the screen that were not available before.
"3T? Fangzi, what does 3T mean?"
"I know!" Fang Han explained excitedly: "Brother Lin, 3T is a special way of playing. It is to predict the top three horses in three designated races. As long as they are all selected, there is no need to match the rankings.
Winning the grand prize! But because there are more than 10 million possible combinations, the probability of winning the prize with 3T is very low..."
"The probability is low...then the odds are extremely high?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yes, yes! Someone once won 16 million Hong Kong dollars with 3,000 Hong Kong dollars! He lost more than 5,000 times!"
Fang Han's eyes suddenly lit up, he came to Lin Chen, pointed at the screen and said: "Brother Lin, do you want to play 3T? Now is a good opportunity. The 3T pot is cumulative, and there have been many consecutive rounds of games before.
No one has ever won, and now there is a full 500 million in the lottery! Do you know why we were able to win so much before? It’s all because the 500 million is so conspicuous, everyone wants to win, and more people come to bet on horse racing than before.
Many times more!"
Five hundred million!
How could Lin Chen not be tempted? Although he had already made a lot of money before, with these 500 million, many of Lin Chen's plans could be implemented immediately.
Bought!
Lin Chen immediately calculated the results of the next three games.
Seeing him mumbling words, Fang Han thought Lin Chen was telling fortunes and hurriedly hid aside for fear of disturbing him.
Even if Su Ningyu next to her made some noise while eating, Fang Han would give her a hard look.
Finally, Lin Chen stood up: "Fang Zai!"
"The little one is here!"
Fang Han was so excited that he even recited the lines on TV.
"5,10,14 in the fourth game, 6,1,9 in the fifth game, 1,5,7 in the sixth game."
Fang Han excitedly wrote it down in his notebook, and then reported it again to Lin Chen for confirmation. When Lin Chen nodded, he immediately picked up the phone and started betting.
Because the odds of 3T were too high, there was no need to place a heavy bet. Lin Chen only invested HKD 50,000 this time. Fang Han originally wanted to bet the same as him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it and only invested HKD 20,000.
"You only invested 20,000? Why don't you invest more?" Lin Chen asked strangely.
"No, no need, 20,000 is enough!" Fang Han said with a smile.
Because there are only so many lottery pools in total, if he bets the same money as Lin Chen, it means he and Lin Chen will share the prize equally. Drinking water remembers the source, Fang Han does not dare to compete with Lin Chen for meat, he only needs to share some soup.
And even if it’s soup, it’s worth at least over 100 million yuan!
Damn you, mother! My family’s business can’t make that much money in a day. Today I made money by betting on the horse race. It’s great! It’s so great!
Excitedly making a good bet, Fang Han moved a chair for Lin Chen and went outside to serve Lin Chen himself. He was really serving Lin Chen like a little brother, which made Su Ningyu next to him dumbfounded.
.
Is this still the unruly young master of the Fang family?
Why are you more honest than a servant?
Next, the results of the fourth game were announced, with No. 10 as the champion, No. 5 as the runner-up, and No. 14 as the runner-up.
Then came the fifth game, with champion No. 6, runner-up No. 1, and runner-up No. 9.
For two consecutive games, the results were exactly as Lin Chen guessed.
This result shocked both Fang Han and Su Ningyu.
Accurate! This is so accurate!
In the last sixth game, even Su Ningyu couldn't help but stand up and wait and see.
"1,5,7!1,5,7!1,5,7!"
Fang Han kept repeating this string of numbers as if possessed.
Beside him, Su Ningyu also murmured to herself: "1,5,7! 1,5,7! 1,5,7!"
"Whoaaah!"
When a group of horses crossed the finish line and the result of the race appeared on the screen,
Fang Han and Su Ningyu were both stunned. They had been hit. They had actually been hit!
The result of the sixth game: champion No. 1, runner-up No. 7, and runner-up No. 5.
Su Ningyu and Fang Han held hands, shouting and jumping excitedly.
Lin Chen sighed at the side: "Isn't it just a few hundred million? It's not like there's nothing, so why are you crazy?"
He drank a glass of wine, took a bite of the Kobe steak that Fang Han had brought before, wiped his mouth, and prepared to continue calculating the results of the next game.
On this rare visit to Hong Kong Island, he wants to take away all the winnings from the racecourse.
Anyway, these bonuses are the money of those gamblers. Lin Chen doesn't feel any psychological pressure at all if he steals money from them.
However, at this moment, the box door suddenly opened.
Several bodyguards in suits walked in.
Fang Han, who was celebrating, suddenly turned cold: "Hey! What are you doing? This is our box!"
At this time, another middle-aged man walked in from outside the door. When he saw him, Fang Han was suddenly stunned.
"Uncle Lin?"
"Fang Zai, who is he?" Su Ningyu asked.
Fang Han whispered: "His name is Lin Zhengquan, and he is the director of the Jockey Club!"
"Director?" Su Ningyu was slightly surprised.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club is one of the most prestigious clubs in Hong Kong, and its board of directors includes Hong Kong's top political and business elites.
Being able to be one of the directors proves that Lin Zhengquan is definitely not an ordinary person.
After Lin Zhengquan walked into the room, he first glanced at Fang Han, and then his eyes fell on Lin Chen in front of the dining table.
"This is Mr. Lin Zhengquan, executive director of the Jockey Club. Are you Mr. Lin Chen?"
