Saturday, June 13th, in the evening.

Chang Tianhao and Yun Feiyang, who were carrying 5 four great men, pedaled their bicycles together and rushed to the old friend's bar.

In terms of decoration and scale, although the old friend bar cannot be said to be the top in Xishan City, it is no problem to give a first-class one. The most important thing is that the fee is cheap, the position in the hall is 5 yuan/person, and other drinks, drinks, snacks and fruits are not too expensive, and the popularity is very strong, and there are many people involved in gambling.

Chang Tianhao knows that the boss is more cautious and the management is also effective, he came here once in the 2002 World Cup, and the boss is still the middle-aged man known as Brother Nan, which makes him feel that since he can continue to operate in 2002, there must be no problem in 1998.

It is very common for the bar industry to change owners, and without any connections and skills, it is impossible to open a bar at all, and it is impossible to deal with all kinds of people. On the other hand, it is precisely because there are many fish and dragons in the bar, there are many crooked ways, and the police station is very close, 20 years ago, the bar accident was most likely to be a personal injury case caused by a fight, and later there were fewer personal injury cases, but gambling cases, drug abuse cases, and pornography cases suddenly increased.

Want to do a small business without touching the edge ball at all?

Then wait for the bar to close early! China is not Europe or the United States, and the working class rarely has the habit of coming to the bar for a drink after work, and if they do not engage in side ball, the boss will starve to death, and the biggest side game during the World Cup is gambling.

"Flying, flying, I'm here, I'm here......"

As soon as Chang Tianhao walked into the door, he heard a loud voice beckoning them.

"My former junior high school classmate, Biaozi, was the main guard of the school team. Yun Feiyang greeted a tall boy with a tiger's back and led him over, "This is my classmate, Chang Tianhao, nicknamed Master Chang." ”

Biao Zi warmly beckoned the two to sit down, and asked Chang Tianhao very familiarly: "What position does buddy usually play?"

"I ...... It's barely an organizational midfielder. Chang Tianhao smiled awkwardly, "I haven't kicked for a long time, now it's a mouth cannon, a mouth cannon!"

Yun Feiyang made up the knife with a wicked smile: "Master Chang really doesn't play much, but it turned out to be the coach of our team." ”

"Oh...... Oh...... I know, I know who it is. Biao Zi grinned, "No wonder you call Master Chang, you can knock down Ah Feng, not bad, hahaha!"

Seeing this situation, Yun Feiyang did not preach the "glorious deeds" of the game in the first year of high school and his former classmates, Chang Tianhao blushed, looked at the Coke, Sprite, and snacks on the table, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Say I'll have a treat, I'll pay first." ”

"No, no, I've bought it all. Biao Zi smiled, "How can you break the bank? You call me to watch the game because you can afford me, I have a treat, I have a treat." ”

1998 was far from the era of 20 years when everything was about money, and students who studied well were respected in all aspects. In Biaozi's opinion, two heavy high school students invited him to watch a vocational high school student to watch the ball because they could afford him, so that his face was bright, and when he heard that Yun Feiyang was invited, he not only went to the bar first to occupy a position in advance, but also messed up all the soda snacks.

"Would you like a cold beer?"

"Forget it, you have to take the exam soon, you can't drink it, and I won't drink it either, I'll talk about it when you're done. Biao Zi was a little embarrassed and said, "Watching the ball doesn't affect your review, right?"

"No, after the three-model exam today, it's just time to relax and relax. If you don't let you watch the World Cup, can you hold back Feiyang's character?" Chang Tianhao smiled, "I'll buy a few ice creams, and just ask how to bet on the ball?"

"You want to bet on the ball?" Yun Feiyang was surprised, "I heard that a bet starts at 100!"

"I brought 500 yuan and planned to try my luck. Chang Tianhao said and took out 5 pieces of the Four Great Figures.

"You're not small!" Biao Zi was also startled, at this time, the general monthly income of the working class in Xishan City was only in the early 2,000s, and a high school student actually took 500 yuan to gamble in one go, which was really surprising.

"I'm pressing the New Year's money, it doesn't matter if I win or lose, it's fun to watch the ball. ”

"Master Chang is rich, and his parents opened a store. Yun Feiyang smiled, "But I only brought 80 yuan, so I won't play with you." You should also play less, 500 yuan is enough for a month, wouldn't it be a pity to lose all at once? Just get 1 or 200, play so big now, you won't have to gamble thousands of dollars after graduating from college in the future?"

"Generally, my parents were laid off and self-employed, so let's live a mixed life. ”

Biao Zi smiled: "Originally, I didn't want to bet, since you want to play, then I will also pay 100 to play together." ”

There was already a large crowd in front of the counter, all betting on the ball, and all of them were optimistic about Spain.

As soon as he entered the bar, Tian Hao noticed the handicap written on the small blackboard: Spain vs Nigeria let the hemisphere, the water level is 1.8:1.8, if Spain finally wins, bet 100 to get back 180 yuan, otherwise it will be lost.

But in less than half an hour, the water level has changed from 1.8:1.8 to 1.75:1.85, and now a bet on 100 yuan in Spain can only get back 175 yuan. There were too many people who were bullish on Spain, and the bookmakers were forced to lower the water level and guide the bets in the direction of Nigeria in an attempt to restore balance between the two sides.

But in the bar, the adjustment didn't help at all, and the people crowded at the counter to bet were still one-sidedly bullish on Spain, and almost no one bet on Nigeria.

After all, Spain is a traditional powerhouse, and it is the first game of the group stage, fans generally believe that winning is not a problem, and there is no need to win more, just eat 3 points steadily, this kind of hemisphere handicap is not the best betting market?

Collecting money, registering, and giving bet cards, the whole assembly line is operated by the younger brother, and Brother Nan quietly patrols the counter.

"How do you sell two-color ice cream?"

The younger brothers were busy registering, and Brother Nan himself was forced to come forward to receive Chang Tianhao: "3 yuan a box, you can get 1 box if you bet 1 bet!"

"You can bet on any team?"

"Yes!"

When he spoke, Nan Ge's mind was still on betting: betting on the Spaniards was too much, it was difficult to balance, and the one-sided situation was equivalent to putting all the bets on the upper house to hedge. The more the amount of hedging, the greater the risk, who knows if the upper house has the ability to absorb the risk? But if he does not hedge, these bets will have to be paid by himself, and he does not dare to take this risk.

After casually answering Chang Tianhao's question, he motioned to his younger brother to change the bet on the blackboard, changing the water level from 1.75:1.85 to 1.7:1.9, optimistic that Spain's bet on 100 could only recover 170, but bet on Nigeria could get back 190.

This is less than an hour two premiums, if this can not adjust the balance is only to change: the handicap from Spain to handicap half/one goal, that is, Spain loses when the final goal difference is less than 1, half of the win when the goal difference is equal to 1, and when the goal difference is greater than or equal to 2, it can win all.

Changing the disk is a more troublesome operation than raising and lowering the water level, and changing the disk before the game is close usually increases the complexity of hedging, so Nan Ge hesitated, and more importantly, the upper family did not have an order to change the disk, even if he changed, there was no place to hedge.

"Give me 5 bets on Nigeria, according to the current ratio, can I get 950 back if I win?"

Brother Nan nodded subconsciously, suddenly reacted, and asked rhetorically: "Are you betting on Nigeria?"

"It's not cost-effective to bet on Spain to get back 850, but it's much more cost-effective to bet on Nigeria. Chang Tianhao said in an old-fashioned manner, "I like to do something different, give me 5 notes Nigeria!"

Before he could hand over the money, Biao Zi grabbed him from behind: "How can you bet Nigeria? Aren't you optimistic about Spain?"

"I don't think Spain will necessarily win. ”

"Cut!"

Before Biaozi could reply, a young man wearing glasses next to him let out a sneer: "Spain can't even win against Nigeria?

"I don't think I can win, boss, bet!" Chang Tianhao proudly slapped 500 yuan on the counter, "Give me 3 ice creams, and change to a can of Sprite?"

"Okay, okay!"

As if to be angry with Chang Tianhao, the glasses man who spoke just now also took out 500 and slapped it on the counter: "Brother Nan, I'm all going to Spain! Don't want ice cream, give me beer!"

After that, he glanced back at Chang Tianhao: "Boy, the ball is not such a bet, it's not a bet on which side of the water level is high, you can only understand the ball! Watch more games and study more, today you will pay the tuition fee to Brother Nan for the 500 yuan......
