On the way home, Ren Kuang asked Sun Dahai: "How are you, Dahai? Do you like acting?"
Sun Dahai was startled. Boss, you are still floating on the fourth and fifth lines. Do you still want to recruit others to join your team?
"I don't like it. It's so hard to be an actor. Look at the hot weather today. They have to wear thick clothes and wigs to fight in the sun. I'm from the north and I'm not afraid of the cold. But on this hot day, I It’s really unbearable.”
Ren Tuanxi also asked casually. Seeing Sun Dahai's refusal so simply, he smiled and shook his head and stopped persuading.
He casually mentioned another topic.
"Hai Dahai, I see that the few moves you and Wu Zhi learned are quite similar. Have you ever practiced martial arts before?"
"I did it for fun, just to move my body. I have been doing it for two years and do it every morning."
"Really? Then you'd better stick to it. I used to practice every morning. At that time, I was in good health and I was still the main player of the school football team.
Now that I’m an actor, I have to get up early to shoot movies and stay up late at other times, so I can’t persevere.”
"Uncle Hua, you can still play football. Do you still play football now?"
"Occasionally, it's mainly because we can't get enough people together. My friends are all busy and rarely can we arrange their free time to play a game together."
"The World Cup football match will start soon. Uncle Hua, will you watch?"
"Of course I watched it. I have to watch every World Cup. I also buy football lottery tickets every time."
"What is football lottery? It's not gambling, right? Can you take me to buy it? I also like football, and I still have my own pocket money." Sun Dahai started to act stupid. There is no lottery in mainland China.
"Football betting is legal in Xiangjiang, but you cannot buy it yourself. You must be an adult over 16 years old to buy it."
"Then tell me about it. After I make my choice, I will give you money and you can buy it for me. This money is my investment dividend and is my own money."
"Of course there is no problem in talking about it. Football betting is..." Ren Kuanxi started chatting*, and while driving the car, he talked endlessly about the knowledge of football lottery.
…
Xiangjiang is now managed by Britten, and the legal system is the same. Britten does not restrict the gaming industry. As long as you can apply for a gaming license and pay taxes according to regulations, it is legal.
People in Xiangjiang have a tradition of gambling. The Xiangjiang Jockey Club is a professional organization that organizes horse racing and opens horse racing betting business. It also operates the Mark Six Lottery in Xiangjiang.
As for football betting, it is not currently operated locally in Xiangjiang. It is all operated by foreign betting companies.
Strong gaming companies open their own betting stations and betting telephone numbers in Xiangjiang and operate them directly. This is the case for the three Britten gaming companies that have memberships, such as Aocai and Sun Dahai.
There are also gambling companies in the Netherlands, Italy, Australia, the United States and other countries, which adopt the agency method and do not forget to get a share of the Hong Kong pie.
There are large and small betting shops on the streets of Xiangjiang, each of which acts as an agent for several or even a dozen gaming companies.
With the development of science and technology, the gaming industry has already realized computerized management. Agent betting stations can easily realize remote transactions through telephone and fax.
…
The two drove back to Bafu Garden.
Ren Kuanwei was so excited that he did not go home directly. Instead, he first found a relatively large betting shop near his home, went in and bought several analysis of the World Cup matches from major betting companies, which is also commonly known as lottery betting. , just returned home.
June 12, 1982, Saturday, moderate rain.
It rained in Xiangjiang today, and the rain was quite heavy.
Sun Dahai, who insisted on doing morning exercises, ran home wet and quickly took a hot bath.
When the whole family was having breakfast together, a bleary-eyed Ren Tuanxi got up. After hurriedly washing up, he had breakfast with everyone.
Looking at his red eyes, Sun Dahai muttered to himself, he must have been studying the Caijing all night long.
After the meal, everyone got busy. Cao Yong and Lisa went to work.
Chef Cao wanted to go down to the fifth floor and stare at the renovation of the house. After a while, Lisa's parents also came over. Ren's father, Ren's uncle, was a policeman by profession and has now retired. Accompanying Mr. Cao
The kitchen supervises the decoration. Ren’s mother and Zheng Ziyun take care of the children together.
Grandma Jiang Xiuping has been busy these days. Lawyer Yu Kaihao accompanied her to sign documents, do notarizations, and go to the bank, but it seems that it is almost completed.
Seeing that it was raining outside, Ren Kuangxi discussed with Sun Dahai and asked him if he wanted to go to a movie.
Sun Dahai was not very interested in Hong Kong movies of this era, so he stayed at home with Ren Kuangxi and studied how to place bets together.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiuping went out, otherwise she would have fainted when she saw these two people, one big and one small, seriously discussing how to gamble.
Ren Kuanxi really studied the Cai Jing seriously, and everything he said was right. It’s just that the conclusion he got after analysis was less accurate than the real results in Sun Dahai’s memory. If you can gamble by studying the Cai Jing
If it was successful, the gaming company would have gone out of business long ago.
Sun Dahai pretended to compare the information given by Caijing and analyze the possible results of each game, but in his heart he was estimating the odds and planning his choice.
In the 1982 Spanish World Cup finals, 24 teams participated and were divided into three stages.
First, the 24 teams were divided into 6 groups, with four teams in each group playing a single round-robin. After the three rounds, the points were compared. The top two teams entered the second stage, and the bottom two teams went home. There were still no 3 points at this time.
Instead, you get 2 points for winning a game.
The twelve promoted teams are further divided into four groups, with three teams continuing a single cycle, with the top four teams becoming the semi-finals and entering the final stage.
Finally, there are two semi-finals, the loser will compete for third place, and the winner will advance to the final to compete for the championship.
Sun Dahai does not have complete memories of this World Cup. In his previous life in 1982, Sun Dahai was still young and did not have much impression.
Sun Dahai only learned about the results of the competition gradually and gradually. Thanks to the welfare of the reborn, his memory has been greatly improved and he can recall more content.
Sun Dahai has two memories of this competition. He knows the rankings of the final four, and he also knows that San Rossi won the best player with his godlike performance. These are what he is going to place an order over the phone.
What he now wants to discuss with Ren Kuang and prepare to place an order is the first round of the game.
Sun Dahai has some understanding of the first stage of the competition.
He knew that Brazil and England had won all three games, New Zealand, Chile and El Salvador had lost all three games. The Italian team, the final champion, had a strange draw in all three games. It was really slow to start, and it didn't look like a champion at all.
Another thing that Sun Dahai remembers clearly is the next World Cup, the two final teams of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, West Germany and Argentina. In the first round of this competition, they both lost to their opponents by one goal.
In particular, West Germany, the favorite to win the championship, actually lost 1:2 to the Algerian team, which entered the finals for the first time, causing one of the biggest upsets in the history of the World Cup. However, the Algerian team, which had two wins and one loss and accumulated 4 points, failed because of its opponent.
tacit understanding of the ball, lost the opportunity to advance.
Sun Dahai finally chose Macao Lottery’s mixed betting, 8-in-1, guessing the score in two games, and guessing the win, draw, and loss in six games.
The meaning of 8-in-1 is that the prediction results of 8 games are calculated together. If one is wrong, all will fail. If all predictions are correct, the final odds are the product of the odds of these predictions.
This kind of game of stringing balls is the best way to make a big profit with a small amount, and is the first choice of many gamblers.
The final odds of the 8 games selected by Sun Dahai reached 4860 to 1. In other words, if Sun Dahai correctly guessed the results of all 8 games, he would get a return of more than 4,800 Hong Kong dollars for an investment of 1 Hong Kong dollar.
