Chapter 383 The Finals Begin

Because Sun Dahai is under age and cannot participate in gambling or gaming in his own capacity, the bet was conducted in the name of Battelle.

Sun Dahai did not go there with Battle, and asked Linkwood to bring an assistant to accompany Battle and protect him to prevent accidents.

Alaya was worried and went with Battelle.

The Mexican branch of Citibank, as the notary, has also arrived there. Now everyone is waiting for the final result of the competition.

At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Mexico time, the game officially started.

The two sides started to attack from the first minute of the game. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Argentina defender Brown took the lead in scoring the Federal Republic of Germany's goal by taking advantage of a free kick.

The score displayed on the courtside scoreboard has been rewritten to 1:0, with Argentina temporarily leading.

Then the competition between the two sides became more and more intense. The styles of the two teams were different, but their level was high enough to represent the highest level of world football in the mid-1980s.

At halftime, Argentina returned to the dugout with a one-goal lead.

Taking this opportunity, the audience can relax for a while and calm down a little after being excited for 45 minutes.

Maggie was so excited that she walked around in the box. Argentina's goal made her feel that victory was in sight.

Andrew found various data from the previous games and wanted to determine whether the Argentine team could win by calculating probabilities.

Sun Dahai thanked them for their kindness, but it was a pity that he could not tell them that if history had not changed, Argentina would have won this game.

At this time, the satellite phone in the suitcase next to Hu Cheng rang.

Hu Cheng took out the phone and answered it. After saying a few words, he handed the phone to Sun Dahai and said at the same time: "It's Battelle."

When Sun Dahai answered the phone, it turned out that there had been some changes in the valuation of the ranch where Ono Kota was betting.

On the day Citibank accepted the ranch valuation assignment, it estimated the value of the Garrison Ranch through its branch in Montana. The valuation result was between US$6.3 million and US$6.5 million.

Based on the 20% discount, the betting requirement is 5 million US dollars.

This kind of property is used as a bet, and it takes a long time to accurately value it, and the cost is also very high. Because the property replaces cash as a bet, it needs to be discounted, so as long as there is no problem with the estimated price, the betting agreement can be signed.

The gambling agreement was signed a week ago. As a result, news came from the Montana branch of Citibank today. Due to the recent downturn in the livestock industry, there has been an error in the valuation. The reasonable valuation range of the ranch should be between 6 million and 6.2 million.

between.

Therefore, the Mexico branch, as a notary, specially made corrections to the gambling company and both parties.

The gambling company asked Kota Ono to pay back the bet of US$120,000, because according to the middle price of the valuation, 80% of 6.1 million was US$4.88 million, which did not meet the requirement of US$5 million.

Ono Kota began to cheat and was unwilling to bear the difference.

Because of the valuation error, Citibank is now very passive. If Ono does not make up the difference and Sun Dahai does not accept this discounted bet, then this bet will not be able to continue.

All costs incurred, as well as liquidated damages stipulated in the agreement, will be borne by Citibank.

So now Battelle is calling just to ask what Sun Dahai means. Anyway, although Ono is cheating, legally speaking, he has reasons not to bear the difference.

Sun Dahai thought for a moment and then told Battelle to accept the discounted bet. Although the little devil would earn less than 120,000 US dollars, the big head would never let go.

Battelle hung up the phone and nodded to Alaya. Then, on behalf of Battelle, Alaya announced to the gambling company, Citibank, and Kota Ono that he would accept discounted bets and the betting would continue.

After Alaya finished speaking, Ono was very happy and felt that he had taken advantage. Because all the betting slips of US$500,000 were sealed, the betting parties did not know the other's betting status.

Now Ono still thinks he will win because he is diversifying his bets. He has bet more than 100,000 US dollars on both the Federal Republic of Germany and Argentina.

When he and Sun Dahai bet, it was before the start of the quarter-finals. There were eight teams at that time, and the champion would be born from these eight teams.

Under the predictions of professionals organized by Akikawa Co., Ltd., Ono focused on three teams, including the two teams currently competing. He also voted on the other five teams, but the amount of bets was very small, just to prevent upsets.

The betting continued, the gambling company was satisfied, and the people at Citibank's Mexican branch were grateful to Bartel and Alaya.

If there is an error in the bet valuation, if no one gives in and is ultimately held accountable, Citibank will be very passive. Losing some money is not a big problem, but it will have a great negative impact on the bank's reputation.

Fortunately, the supervisor in charge of this part-time job was Alaya's former colleague. He took the initiative to explain the situation to Alaya and asked Alaya to help communicate with the client, Battelle.

The bank did not know that Sun Dahai was the real owner, so Battelle called Sun Dahai.

Sun Dahai just wanted to trick the little devil and didn't care much about betting more or less, so Citibank, which made the mistake, was able to escape unscathed.

The second half of the game begins.

In the 56th minute, Argentina's Valdano dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area and scored again with a shot. Argentina led 2:0.

The Argentine team, which was leading by two goals, was somewhat relaxed. A month of consecutive high-intensity matches had exhausted their physical strength.

The Germans, who are known for their will and quality, were not discouraged even though they were lagging behind. They became more courageous as they fought, holding down the Argentine team and bombarding them in the half.

Finally, in the 74th and 81st minutes of the game, the Federal Republic of Germany took advantage of the corner kick opportunity. Rummenigge and Vollor, who came on the bench, kicked the ball with their heads and kicks from almost the same position. They chased two goals in a row and tied the score.

It became a draw.

2:2

The game, which seemed to have lost its suspense, suddenly returned to .asxs. But at this time, the momentum of both sides was completely opposite. The Federal Republic of Germany team was united and their momentum was like a rainbow.

On the other hand, the Argentine team was almost blinded. Some wanted to attack, others wanted to defend, and the tactics were inconsistent. Most of the players were in a depressed mood and their physical strength was somewhat exhausted.

Including stoppage time, the game is still more than ten minutes away from the regular end time. If this continues, I am afraid that the Argentine team may not be able to last until overtime.

Even if they relied on defense to enter overtime, the total of thirty minutes of overtime, judging from the current energy and competitive state of the players of both teams, the Argentine team has almost no hope of winning.
