Chapter 923: The Gamble of the Century
"I have checked O'Sullivan's information, in the past two years, he has attended various gambling competitions, only lost to Shaqiri once in last year's World Gambling King Series, and there is no defeat in other games, and now he ranks second in the world gambling rankings, second only to Shaqiri, the gambling king. ”
"Lin Cheng is sending money to Prince Waleed! A whole billion dollars, why should he give it to a foreigner, how good it is to give it to his compatriots in the motherland!"
"Yes, as a world-class gambling city in Macau, there are still many gambling masters, so it's good to find a master to come over and gamble on his behalf!"
"There is no suspense! There is absolutely no suspense, although Lin Cheng is invincible in the world in business, but now he is gambling, and he is a complete layman in gambling!"
"Everyone, I don't think so, looking at Lin Cheng's history in the past two years, Lin Cheng can be called lucky and blessed. As we all know, in the gambling world, luck is one of the most important decisive factors, and in this gamble of the century, Lin Cheng may not be able to defeat O'Sullivan with unparalleled luck!"
"It makes some sense, but Lin Cheng's opponent is O'Sullivan, who is well-known in the world gambling world, and if he wants to defeat O'Sullivan with his gambling luck, the possibility is less than one percent. ”
In the casino, everyone is talking about it, and the disapproval of Lin Cheng accounts for ninety percent of the total number of people, and a few gamblers who believe that gambling luck will win still have a loss of confidence in Lin Cheng.
Subsequently, the spread of a piece of news made everyone's confidence in Lin Cheng fall to the bottom.
It turned out that Lin Cheng was not a young child who came to the Lisboa Casino for the first time, two years ago, he had come to the Lisboa Casino and gambled in the casino for a whole day.
However, everyone would rather that he was the first time to enter the casino, after all, if Lin Cheng had not participated in gambling, at least everyone would have believed that Lin Cheng really had gambling luck.
However, Lin Cheng's only record in the casino was a complete defeat, losing five million chips in one day, and if it wasn't for his female companion who forcibly pulled him away at that time, Lin Cheng would have lost even more.
It can be seen from Lin Cheng's only gambling history that Lin Cheng not only has no gambling luck at all, but also a bad gambler who will not leave the casino until he loses.
After this news spread from the mouth of the casino staff, all the gamblers let out Lin Cheng's exclamation, and even the last few gamblers who thought that Lin Cheng had a chance to win by luck were completely desperate for Lin Cheng.
Originally, the casino also wanted to open a peripheral handicap for Lin Cheng and O'Sullivan's gamble of the century, and even the odds were drawn up, buying Lin Cheng to win 1 to 10, and buying O'Sullivan to win to lose 1 to 1.
It's just that when the staff checked Lin Cheng's gambling records, in order to avoid the loss, the casino immediately canceled the peripheral handicap of the gamble of the century, and determined that this gamble would be O'Sullivan's personal exhibition match, and Lin Cheng would not have a chance.
……
Waleed and O'Sullivan glanced at each other, and both unconsciously showed a smile that was in their hands.
After defeating Lin Cheng in this gamble of the century, Waleed will reap a huge income of one billion dollars. This income, even if Waleed has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, and can get one billion for nothing, it is enough for him to sigh that the trip is worthwhile.
At this time, Waleed looked at Lin Cheng again, there was no hostility, but instead there was a deep gratitude, Lin Cheng is really a good person, he gave me a billion dollars for no reason, thank you so much!
O'Sullivan's gaze at Lin Cheng revealed contempt, contempt, and disdain, a person who had never won in a casino actually had the courage to bet with him O'Sullivan, O'Sullivan lamented that Lin Cheng's courage was commendable, and he also labeled Lin Cheng as "stupid" and "self-inflicted".
However, O'Sullivan is grateful to Lin Cheng in his heart, just like Walid, because of Lin Cheng's generous gift of money, O'Sullivan can take a twentieth of the money after winning the gambling game.
That is to say, he can get 50 million US dollars if he wins the game, which is more than ten times his personal wealth, even if he declares his retirement after the gamble.
Without mentioning the gossip, He Zhonghua announced the rules of the casino: "First of all, the two sides of today's gambling game are Mr. Lin Cheng and His Royal Highness Prince Waleed, and the chips are one billion US dollars. ”
Under the guidance of the casino staff, Lin Cheng and Waleed were taken to a private room, took out the billion-dollar cashier's check, handed it over to He Gambling King for safekeeping, and exchanged it for chips.
As the largest private shareholder of Citigroup, Waleed is naturally able to provide a $1 billion cashier's check, while Lin Cheng himself is a bank owner, so there is no pressure to come up with a $1 billion cashier's check.
On the contrary, the staff of the casino saw the wealth of Lin Cheng and Walid, and their hands trembled when they took the cashier's check, caring for them like a treasure, for fear of damaging the cashier's check worth two billion US dollars.
Coming out of the private room, He Zhonghua continued to announce the rules: "In this gambling game, the people who bet are Mr. Lin Cheng, the third richest man in the world, and Mr. O'Sullivan, the third runner-up of the world gambling king.
You should note that any electronic and metal items are prohibited items, please remove metal, electronic and other items that may violate the rules before passing through the security check, and hand them over to the casino for safekeeping. ”
The stakes are billion-dollar and cannot be overstated, and the casino has the highest level of security checks on both sides, which is more stringent than airport security.
After going through a series of formalities, Lin Cheng and O'Sullivan finally stood on both sides of the gambling table, and a gamble of the century began.
"Distinguished guests, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone! I am the host of this gambling game Liao Lijuan, now about to carry out a two-person gambling game, the gambling game is divided into the first half and the second half, the second half is an hour, the first half of the dice bet, the second half of the stud bet, after the end of the second half, by the number of chips on both sides as the basis for determining the winner, do the two bettors have any objections?"
Lin Cheng thought at first that the bet would end with the loss of all the $1 billion chips, but he didn't expect that the winner of the game would be decided by who had the most chips within two hours.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Cheng's previous idea was indeed wrong, a chip is one million US dollars, and both sides have a billion US dollars in chips, that is, a thousand chips, and if you want to gamble a thousand chips, I don't know how long it will be delayed.
On the contrary, at the end of the two-hour gambling game stipulated by the casino, whoever has the most chips will determine who is the winner, which saves a lot of time.
