In the box at this time, in addition to Sun Dahai and the other six, there were also Linkwood and his security team.
Linkwood is a business elite of a well-known American security company in Mexico. He and his two assistants became the bodyguards of Sun Dahai and his party during their stay in Mexico City, and were fully responsible for their safety.
After receiving the commission from Chen Xi, the security company where Linkwood worked assigned their team to be responsible for this business.
So, when Sun Dahai and his party took a chartered flight and landed at Juárez International Airport in Mexico City, the security team was already waiting on the tarmac and began their work.
…
The first half of the game was more intense than exciting. It was already the semi-finals, and both sides were very cautious. They would rather achieve nothing but achieve nothing, and they played a tug-of-war for a full forty-five minutes.
With the referee's whistle, the first half of the game ended, and both sides returned to the locker room to rest.
Everyone in the box also stood up and moved their bodies, which had been tense for forty-five minutes.
Andrew put his hand on Sun Dahai's shoulder and asked cautiously: "How about it, Brother Dahai, can the Argentina team win this game?"
With a swish sound, everyone in the box turned their heads to Sun Dahai, and everyone looked at Sun Dahai with bright eyes.
Sun Dahai spread his hands and said: "It looks okay. At least it is a draw now and not behind. Let's look at the performance of the Argentine team in the second half."
Maggie waved her hands next to her, posing in a victorious manner, and said in a neutral tone: "We all support you, sea, and God will give you strength."
Sun Dahai helplessly looked at Maggie, an upright girl who was in excitement, and whispered: "I don't believe in God, God won't care about me. Besides, what's the use of giving me strength? If you want to win, please
God gives players strength!"
Everyone is so concerned about the results of the game, not only because they are at the scene, their emotions and interests are aroused by the wonderful game, but more importantly, because Sun Dahai is betting on football again!
The story starts from the day when Sun Dahai and the others came to the box to watch football for the first time.
…
After Sun Dahai and his party arrived in Mexico City at noon on June 15, they were picked up by the Linkwood team and stayed in a hotel-style villa booked by Chen Xi.
Knowing that they were here to watch a game and the security situation in Mexico City was relatively bad, Chen Xi booked the villa for them through Citibank's service network. It was a wealthy man's house not far from the Azteca Stadium.
District.
After Sun Dahai and the others checked in, that afternoon was the match between the host team Mexico and Bulgaria. This was also the first match in the knockout stage of this World Cup.
So they put away their luggage, took a break, and rushed to the competition venue, the Aztec Stadium, known as the "Temple."
Aztec Stadium is located in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. This professional football stadium built on volcanic rocks can accommodate 105,000 spectators.
Construction of the Azteca Stadium started in 1962 and took four years to complete, becoming the main venue for the 1970 World Cup.
On this venue, many important matches such as the semi-finals, third-place matches and finals were held, and witnessed the final glory of the football king Pele, as well as the perfect ending of the Jules Rimet Cup.
When Sun Dahai and the others arrived near the Azteca Stadium, it had already become a world of fans, a sea of joy. Fans on the road were shoulder to shoulder, singing loudly and marching towards the stadium from various routes.
Within a few kilometers of the stadium, traffic control has been implemented on the roads, and there are a large number of police at each intersection to maintain order.
However, a small traffic control could not stop Sun Dahai and his party.
The company Linkwood worked for was from the United States, and he was very arrogant. His car had a pass issued by an unknown department, and he was allowed to go straight to the VIP parking lot inside the Azteca Stadium.
Taking the special elevator in the parking lot, Sun Dahai and his party came to the box area of the stadium. After Andrew showed his passport, the waiter led them into the box.
It takes five hours to fly from Seattle to Mexico City. Fortunately, Sun Dahai and the others came on a business plane, which was comfortable enough and they were all young, so they didn't need to rest too much and went straight to watch the game.
After they entered the box, the game had not yet started. After the waiter poured them drinks, he asked them if they wanted to bet.
Gambling is not allowed in Mexico. When encountering such a large-scale event, it must be the best time for bookmakers to do business.
There are multiple betting points of bookmakers in the Aztec Stadium, and there are long queues before and after the game. Guests in VIP boxes do not have to queue and can enjoy the door-to-door service of bookmakers.
After hearing that gambling was possible, Maggie was a little eager to try it. She asked Alaya to whisper a few words, and then asked the waiter to find someone from the gambling company.
Andrew was also a little moved, but unfortunately he and Sun Dahai were not old enough. If they wanted to play, they could only ask others to buy them for them.
The person from the bookmaker came quickly. She took out several lists of betting items and odds and asked the guests in the box to choose.
When facing big customers, gaming companies do not use printed lottery tickets, but fill in the standard documents manually. In this way, big customers will not have the embarrassing situation of buying a lot of lottery tickets.
Sun Dahai took a look and found that this gaming company listed items, which were similar to those of other companies. It had all the common items. However, all the odds were marked as reference values, and the actual odds were based on the odds announced after the deadline.
, this also avoids large losses for the gaming company.
The upcoming game will host the Mexican team, so Maggie and Alayah murmured for a while and decided to buy ten dollars each and bet on Mexico to win.
Now the salesperson of the gaming company is in a dilemma, because this is a VIP box area, and most of them are big customers, so she doesn't have standard lottery tickets here, only hand-filled forms.
There is a lower limit on the amount of this kind of hand-filled form. When converted into U.S. dollars, each one costs at least more than 80 U.S. dollars. The amount of betting planned by Maggie and Alaya can only be purchased at betting points that receive ordinary customers.
Good lottery tickets.
Maggie and Alayah are not gamblers. They just bet for fun, so they don't want to spend a lot of money.
When Sun Dahai saw this, he came out to the rescue. He asked for the twenty dollars from Maggie and Alaya, and added ninety dollars himself, making up one hundred and ten dollars, and bet on Mexico to win.
Sun Dahai has an explanation for the ninety dollars. He paid for the six of them, plus Linkwood and his two assistants in the box, and each bought ten dollars. If they win, everyone will share the money, if they lose,
