Chapter 110: Magneto Makes Trouble in Las Vegas (Part II)
"What's going on?!" Douglas, the owner of the Pyramid Casino, felt that things were a little more than he expected.
"Why are all the fights tonight drawn?!Why do everyone faint when they punch each other?!Do they think they're all one-punch man?!"
I didn't expect that the fifty-year-old Douglas was still very trendy, and he would go to watch Oriental anime at such an age, and he was a one-punch man. As a casino owner, he looks at these things and says them, and he is not afraid of the collapse of his personality.
The little brother standing in front of him doesn't know what a one-punch man is, after all, he watches "Superman" more and is a loyal Superman fan. But he will never expose this hobby of himself, because it is too naΓ―ve. He would never tell anyone that the underwear he was wearing now had a triangle embroidered on it and an S written on it, let alone that he was wearing the same Panties as Superman. The only difference between him and Superman is that Superman wears it outside his pants, and he wears it inside his pants.
However, in the face of his big boss, he naturally couldn't pretend to be Superman, but had to bow his head cautiously and said, "We are investigating, but there are no special clues." Like, it seems to be ......"
"As if everything was a coincidence......"
Douglas felt like he was being played.
"Tell the gamblers!"
What Douglas really gets angry about is not that the fighters' battles are drawn, but that the gamblers' bets!
Because the real purpose of a fighting match is to make money, that is, to gamble and collect bets. Multipliers are divided according to the fighters' record and strength. Will there be a case of fake boxing? Yes, but it's different from regular boxing. Boxing is good if you fake boxing and acting, but you can lose your life if you fake boxing here.
So there will be no fighter willing to cooperate with fake boxing. It is precisely because of this that many gamblers feel that such games are fairer and more credible. After all, the fighters are fighting with their lives, and it is impossible to fight fake boxing. After all, if you have money to make, you can't spend it.
But there will always be a way for casinos to control the outcome of the game. At the end of the day, it's a business. I have only heard of gamblers gambling to the point of bankruptcy, who has ever heard of casinos being won to the point of closing down?
Unlike soccer matches, the probability of a draw is extremely low, negligible. So basically no gambler will buy a tie.
Today is the monthly tournament, and there are more than 50,000 gamblers across Las Vegas betting for today's tournament. The amount of bets placed is up to 60 million dollars. Generally speaking, the casino can take at least half of the bet, only pay half of the bet, or even a little less.
But something went wrong today, and all five games were tied. So there was no winner in the $60 million gamble.
It's too ugly, and if there is no winner in a gamble and the casino takes it all, then the casino will lose trust. You know why so many people come to Las Vegas to gamble? It's because gambling is fair, or at least it seems to be fair.
When the fairness of the casino is gone, why should people shell out green dollars?
"Now everybody thinks we're cheating, trying to drain the gamblers' money. This is not good, this will affect the future business!" "Douglas is a shrewd businessman, although he said that this time 60 million can be taken into his arms, but the negative impact caused by this time and the subsequent losses may be more than 60 million US dollars!
"Damn, soothe the gamblers. Among them, there are quite a few big customers. "Douglas is ready to personally step in to appease the big customers who have bet millions of dollars. Although a few million dollars is not a lot, people are regulars, and they can spend tens of millions of dollars every year to play here. This kind of customer still needs to be appeased and seen. Even if you don't come forward, you need a high enough level of management to settle it.
"What about the other gamblers?"
"Let's just say there was a problem with gambling today. β
"Shall we return the money?"
"How is it possible?!!When have you ever seen a casino give a gambler a refund?Give them chips and arrange for a good dealer to play with them. A thousand dollars can be used to bet two different bets, and how good it is, and they have earned it. Douglas didn't plan to really lose money, after all, how could he take out 60 million when he got it?
Of course, the money of those big customers may still have to be returned.
The money of large customers is returned, and the money of retail investors is opened with their business partners.
Just as Douglas happily came to such a conclusion, his secretary panicked and pushed open the door to his office.
"The boss is not good. β
"I'm so good!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant, boss. I mean tonight's bet ......."
"I know, it's bad, it's troublesome. But to put it even, from a good place, we made at least tens of millions of dollars. β
The secretary looked at Douglas and stopped, stopped and stopped, and finally brewed for two laps and finally said, "Boss, we didn't make tens of millions of dollars." β
"Rest assured, the gambler's compensation is well resolved. Give them some chips and find some good dealers. The money will always come back, and even earn a little more. Douglas's wishful thinking crackled like a man who could open a pyramid casino in Las Vegas.
"No, boss. Not the problem of those punters. The secretary quickly stopped Douglas, who was about to leave the office. Although the next words will be said that Douglas will definitely be angry, it is the kind that he can't cure by wearing a little nurse's uniform.
But out of her work ethic, she hurriedly said: "Someone in the game we opened bought a bet on a tie. β
Douglas raised an eyebrow: "Someone really bought it?"
"That's right. β
"Then pay him back. A one-man bet that doesn't hurt. β
"Boss, he bought five. β
"That's to be paid to him, too. β
"He bet on five consecutive draws and also used a bet with double leverage. And he's betting high, high, high......"
The secretary said three times in a row, and Douglas was now raised with two eyebrows.
"How much do you have to pay?"
"If we pay according to the bet, we need to pay ...... 100 million ......"
"One hundred million?!"
"Yes, it's still a dollar ......"

Magneto (Lao Zhang) and Catwoman (Gao Xiaomin) were resting in the VIP room of the casino, and Magneto (Lao Zhang) rubbed his hands: "Is this a matter for me to achieve a small goal?"
"Hehe, based on the exchange rate, you should have achieved close to seven small goals. Catwoman (Gao Xiaomin) glanced at Zhang Tong: "As long as you can bring this money back reasonably and legally." β
"Hehe, it'll be legal. Magneto smiled, looking like a villain in Marvel Comics.
