0352 Participate in horse betting
Macau is recognized as one of the top three gambling cities in the world.
The development of Macau's gaming industry has a tendency to overshadow the other two major casinos.
At the Dubai Horse Club, because ****** countries do not allow horse betting, people who like to bet on horses will openly bet on horses in places like Macau and participate in horse betting.
The previous qualifiers are generally small bets and are the observation phase. But in the knockout rounds, some big players began to bet, and the final finals are the place where a lot of money is thrown, last year's Dubai Jockey Club Finals, the total amount of money involved in horse betting in Macau alone reached 83 billion US dollars.
It is expected to exceed $100 billion this year.
So, it's no secret to those who follow horse racing what Don Ding heard.
Although traditionally, ****** countries do not allow betting on horses, but those royal children will participate in horse gambling openly or covertly, many of them will choose their own horses, or familiar horses, and they can be hundreds of millions of dollars when they make a move. But as long as it's not within the scope of ****** country, everyone is turning a blind eye.
The same is true for Macau and Hong Kong, because the Macau Jockey Club and the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club are one of the four major horse races in the world, and Macau is the first of the four major capitals.
There are too many wealthy people who breed horses on Hong Kong Island, but anyone with a bit of status will be proud to breed horses and be proud to join the Club's Board of Governors.
Therefore, although their gambling horses cannot be as expensive as the local tyrant princes in the Middle East, they are also amazing.
In this situation, in the gambling horse, a gold-absorbing vortex centered on Macao has been formed.
Although Prince William is a prince, he is not a local tyrant, and although the British royal family's funds are much richer than ordinary people, they are far from being called rich.
Even if William wanted to gamble, he didn't have the money to gamble. Of course, a small bet of 18,000 pounds is still no problem, but as a British prince, it is better not to gamble this little money, and the issue of public image must be considered.
"What, you want to bet on horses?" William looked at Don Ding excitedly.
"If I could, I'd buy some of your thoroughbreds, but I don't know what the odds are?"
"I estimate that the odds on a thoroughbred are the highest because it has never achieved much success in international horse races, and it is a newcomer to the betting racecourse, which is not usually bought. ”
"Haha, if that's the case, that's the best, I've decided to buy some. ”
"Okay, but I suggest you don't buy too much, small gambling is pleasant, big gambling hurts. ”
Tang Ding smiled, "Do you not believe in your horse or do you not believe me?"
"I believe you have the quality and you believe in the speed of thoroughbreds, but you may not have seen a real horse race, because the Dubai Deriving has such a big prize money, so the top 10 horses in the world are coming and competing against them, to be honest I am not sure. ”
Willian took the thoroughbred to the Dubai Derby last year, but he barely qualified from the group, barely passing the qualifiers and being eliminated in the knockout rounds. He has seen first-hand the world's most famous horse racing prowess.
"Remember the mare in the Royal Mews, do you think it's comparable to a thoroughbred?"
"Well, you convinced me. William admits that no one would have believed that such a mare would prevail over a thoroughbred known for his speed and strength.
Dondin compared the mare to William, and William really had nothing to say.
"What mare?" Kate asked, turning her head when she heard the two of them talking.
Kate promised Willian yesterday to come with him to see Marseille today. Just because Kate was coming today, William didn't go to the special stand specially prepared by the organizing committee for members of the British royal family, because he didn't want Kate to think that he was too high to climb.
The Dubai Jockey Club is fully open, and there are no other fees, including no fees for horses and riders, but even the spectators and venue tickets are all borne by the Dubai royal family, and the guests do not need to spend a penny. There are no restrictions other than a high entry threshold. Of course, the threshold is to ensure a high level of competition.
William told Kate about Downing's bet on his thoroughbred horse with an ordinary mare, and he lost £10,000 in the end.
Kate was very surprised, and glanced at Don Ding in surprise.
Kate had been working in Dubai for two years, and Dubai was a fan of horse racing, so she didn't know anything about horse racing, and Downing didn't look like a rider, because riders were generally short and thin, which would reduce the weight of the horses, but Downing, although not as tall as Europeans, was much taller and stronger than equestrian riders, was he a good rider?
However, this Chinese looks quite mysterious and has a very powerful shot, which is in line with the image of the legendary Oriental.
Oriental people are generally very mysterious, not only because they have a long-standing culture, but also because there are many strange spells, and Kate still has some knowledge of the legends of the East.
"If it were you in horse racing, I think I'd buy you to win. Kate is very determined, and she admires the mystical culture of the East more than she believes in Downing.
"Haha, well, I won't let you down. But there is one thing, in the qualifiers, I may not run too fast, I can only guarantee qualifying, remember!" finally there is a person who firmly believes in himself, and Tang Ding also revealed a little insider.
However, the inside story revealed by Tang Ding made William roll his eyes, "I said, don't underestimate the knockout round, the knockout round is actually the most cruel, because the knockout round will eliminate 95% of the participating horses, leaving only ten to participate in the final, and the ranking is based on time, that is to say, the final final is ten horses to participate." ”
"Hey, didn't you say that the knockout round is also the top two in the group?" Tang Ding wondered.
"Last year it was like this, but this year the rules have been changed to prevent the horses drawn in the knockout rounds from meeting too early and being eliminated. The seeded horses will be selected in the qualifiers, but in the knockout rounds, it is completely decided by lot, so it is likely that the top horses will be drawn in a group, so this year, the organizing committee deliberately changed the rules of the event. ”
The rules that Willian told Dondin earlier were the same as when he played in Marseille last year, but after yesterday's qualifiers, he saw the latest rules of the tournament, and to be honest, the rules have been improved, and winning or losing is more accurate in terms of time than simply standing.
After listening to this, Tang Ding solemnly said to William and Kate, "Okay, since the rules have been changed, let's change them too, I will definitely enter the finals, and I will win the finals!"
