Naturally, the more horse racing tickets you rank, the more money you will earn. Of course, there are also those who win alone. Something happened two days ago. In the same Kentucky Derby, a substitute horse had an odds of 80. In some places, the odds are 80%.
The Jockey Club didn't even list its odds.
Just like this, one piece won the championship. If anyone beat it, they would naturally make a lot of money.
But the most profitable thing is not what you bet on, but the Jockey Club and the racecourse. With this upset, the entire Jockey Club has made huge profits.
When you come to Kentucky and participate in the horse racing activities, you have to buy a bet or two. Not to mention trying your luck to prove your vision, just go with the flow.
Therefore, everyone began to discuss how to place bets.
They were all purely for entertainment, and no one expected this thing to make money, so as far as Zhang Chi and his wife were concerned, they both gave the first and second place to their own horses, and the rest were chosen at will.
We chatted until about ten o'clock, and then we all had a late-night barbecue snack, eating and having fun. It was almost half past one, and then we went back to our houses to rest.
The next morning, when Zhang Chi woke up, he saw a message from Mason.
The gate selection was this morning. Zhang Chi was supposed to go, but the current publicity thing was sold to Lao Liu, so Zhang Chi stayed at home and it was Lao Liu who drew the lot.
Mason was a little dissatisfied on the phone because Lao Liu's luck was very bad. There were really twenty horses competing in the Kentucky Derby this time, which was really a lot.
I really can’t blame Mason for complaining. As soon as these two words came out, Mason’s beard was almost set on fire by himself.
Zhang Chi said: "Isn't this drawing lots? Silly Damu got number one, and Great Secret Realm got number 20."
If you have been in society for thirty years and still believe that this thing exists, then I wish you can live such a simple and happy life in the future.
The moon returned to the earth, stars hung in the sky, and after the sun completely set, a fire was lit again in Zheng Bohong's small yard, and bunches of beer were placed next to a few small chairs.
Of course, Zhang Chi is too embarrassed to mention this matter. He feeds himself so much gourd pulp, why doesn't he allow others to play tricks?
Is that still a human being?
So Zhang Chi calmly comforted Mason and asked him to tell his two jockeys to race well on the field and not think about messy things.
The solution to the problem is also very simple. If you don't eat lunch, then wait for dinner. Change the meal from three meals a day to two, which can be regarded as saving a meal.
Melika smiled at the door and said, "Come in, we already know."
Zhang Chi and his wife looked at each other and smiled, and then Melika and Zhao Yue talked about it.
So the Jockey Club will naturally balance this situation, and now the balanced results are out. Both horses have chosen the worst track, and this is a race with twenty horses. So many horses are a little crowded and a bit in the way.
Yes, the result of the game may be exactly the same.
If there are twenty horses, there will naturally be twenty tracks, starting from the inner track and ending at the outermost number twenty.
I prepared breakfast in a leisurely manner and found that it was almost noon. After finishing this breakfast, I guess no one had any intention to have lunch at noon.
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not like the meat isn't enough. I have to rush to get it. Besides, I might not have eaten a bunch here."
Everyone was fine today. Melika and three other women were chatting in the sun with a little baby at the door, while Zhang Chi and Zheng Bohong were wandering around the small ranch.
As the beer went down the meat, Zhang Chi couldn't help but burp, and the smell of beer and skewers immediately came back.
However, the little guy was a little embarrassed today. Looking at his father's stretched out hand, he instantly turned his face and gave Zhang Chi a perfect slap on the back of his head.
"Are you up? Come on, the rankings for the competition are out. You can't believe it even if I tell you..."
This is a clear attempt to make things difficult, or it can be said that it artificially enhances the visibility of the game.
Some people may say that you only have a few people, but you can eat so much. In fact, you ate the whole sheep in two meals, which is definitely wrong.
"How old is she?" Zhang Chi smiled and clapped his hands, about to take his daughter.
fair?
As for the Great Secret Realm, it starts quickly, but even if it is faster, how many seconds can it be faster? By then, a bunch of horses will be crowded together in the middle, which will also block the impact route of the Great Secret Realm. If you run along the outer circle, you will pass it.
Curves, or accelerating in curves, in this way the horse can run at least seven or even ten meters longer than other horses...".
Out of twenty, how could you choose the two worst paths with such odds?
But Lao Liu was so lucky. Silly Damu got the innermost number, while the Great Secret Realm got the number 20.
Zhang Chi knew that he couldn't change, and he also understood that by scolding Lao Liu, Mason was actually complaining about the gang of gangsters in the Jockey Club.
Is there something fishy about the draw of the competition? Would you believe it if I told you it wasn't true? It's your belief, but Zhang Chi doesn't believe it. It's like a European football match. Every time a European competition is drawn, you will find that the favorites are drawn.
When it comes to favorites, there will always be a team that draws its mortal enemy.
Now you think two meals for one sheep is not too much, right?
Zheng Bohong and others praised Zhang Chi for his skill in killing the sheep and getting the meat, and they all said that if they were in trouble in the future and couldn't survive, they could open a mutton restaurant with Zhang Chi to make ends meet.
"Mason, everything has come out now. We can't complain anymore. The most important thing now is that you have to concentrate on the next game," Zhang Chi said.
Listening to Mason's cursing, Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh.
But you can't help Zhang Chi, who specializes in picking out good places to eat, such as sheep heads and hooves. These guys don't eat them, but only pick the best parts of the sheep, such as lamb chops and tenderloins.
, and even the intestines, liver, etc. were fed to the dogs in the pasture.
As he spoke, Zhang Chi picked up a grilled skewer, took a sip, and drank the half-drunk beer next to it.
Zhang Chi let go of his daughter's little hand and scratched the little girl's face again. Then he left the room and ran to the kitchen to start making breakfast for the big guys.
Melika sat on the edge of the bed and began to change the little girl's clothes while asking questions.
Therefore, the outermost lane and the innermost lane are the two worst lanes. The best lane is the middle lane. For example, twenty horses competed this time. The best lanes are five or six. These lanes are best because they can be entered.
You can attack or retreat defensively. Even if you make a small mistake when starting from the gate, as long as you pick up the speed and catch up with or even surpass the leading horse at the corner, it is relatively easy.
Every draw can make fans excited. If you want to say there is luck in this, there is definitely luck, but luck every time and grouping with deadly enemies every time is too unimaginable.
Zhang Chi angrily patted his daughter's little butt, smiled and said a few words to make you dislike me.
Melika hummed: "What else should I do?"
It can be seen how popular Zhang Chi's two horses are. Horse fans know it, and the Jockey Club also knows it. Based on the level of the two horses, the suspense of this derby is actually not too high.
"Who wants more?"
The same is true for horse racing. Big Secret Realm and Silly Big Wood are the favorites among the favorites. Even the fans of the two horses have shouted the slogan, who is the opponent except Silly Big Wood (Big Secret Realm).
At this time, Melika happened to be taking her daughter out of the bathroom to wash up. When she heard Zhang Chi swearing, she said, "In front of the child, please pay attention to your words."
Merika laughed after hearing this and said: "This method... tsk tsk, you are really careful. Silly Big Wood is slow to start, but has good endurance. In this case, it will definitely not be able to accelerate all the time in the early stage, because there will be a bunch of horses blocking its path of acceleration.
, forcing Shadamu to turn to the outer circle to accelerate.
Everyone took a sip.
"There's nothing we can do about it. No matter what, we just run away." Zhang Chi smiled and took his daughter's hand, shaking it gently while making her laugh.
The couple was chatting here when they suddenly heard Zhao Yue's voice at the door.
After putting down the phone, Zhang Chi couldn't help but curse a national curse.
Not to mention the outermost lane, if you want to squeeze into the inner lane, you will definitely have to take more steps than other horses, but the innermost lane is not good, because when the horse comes out of the fence, he will subconsciously go to the far side.
It’s crowded, because the number of steps is the smallest, so this route is also the most competitive.
At this moment, Zhang Chi became the barbecue master again. He held a handful of meat skewers in his hand and kept turning them on the fire with one hand, while the other hand kept sprinkling the chili noodles.
At about one o'clock, everyone took a short nap, and after waking up, they started to kill the first sheep. There was no way, and one sheep was eaten in two meals.
The perfectly cooked lamb skewers that have been grilled are glistening with oil. Covered by the chili powder, and combined with the freshly sprinkled cumin, fennel and other spices, it immediately gives off an alluring spiciness.
Taste.
Zhang Chi put the skewers on the shelf in front of him and put them in order, then put the cooked skewers on the tray on the stove.
Zheng Bohong said: "Lao Zhang, come and eat too. I've already made several skewers here, but you haven't taken a bite yet."
Melika spoke out in one breath the problems facing the Great Secret Realm and Silly Damu.
This road is not good because as soon as the race starts, countless horses will crowd in, which will affect your acceleration and greatly increase the chance of interference between horses.
There was nothing else to do, so I rolled out a dough and made paper wontons.
Zhao Yue opened the door and asked the couple: "Do you all know? I thought you just got up now. Look at this ranking. Who would believe that there is no ghost in it?"
The content of the conversation is still about the game. It is estimated that as long as there are people chatting at this moment, not eight or nine out of ten, but five or six will talk about the game.
The ranking draw and so on have passed. What everyone has discovered is how to break out of Silly Big Wood and the Great Secret Realm when it comes to the competition.
What everyone said sounded reasonable, but it was of no use. This kind of thing was the matter of Mason, the horse trainer. Now these people are just talking about it, including Zhang Chi and his wife.
The drawing of lots was like throwing a fried egg in the horse ring. The direct result was that the odds of the Great Secret Realm and Silly Big Wood fell immediately. Although they were still the favorites, the odds of the game dropped to the original.
Two-thirds shows the impact of the draw on horse racing fans.
