Chapter 23: Start gambling

After the two finished talking, Sang Deyu felt that Lu Linlan's gambling suggestion was feasible, so he allocated three million spirit stones to Lu Linlan to open a gambling game. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info These spirit stones are public funds. It means that Lu Linlan should also be dedicated to the public, and all profits should be accounted for. But Sang Deyu didn't emphasize, and Lu Linlan didn't make a guarantee.

Sang Deyu also gave Xiang Taihua and five other disciples to listen to Lu Linlan's dispatch. Of course, this dispatch is not arbitrary, but only for gambling-related matters. Lu Linlan asked Sang Deyu to tell him on his behalf, and the next morning, he would gather at the Gaotianba Mission Hall to discuss relevant matters.

Then Lu Linlan went back to the mountain. As soon as I went back, I found Zhou Ruoyun and asked her to take her to the peak. After seeing Lin Jingsheng, Lu Linlan played the Spring and Autumn brushwork, briefly stated her plan to open a gambling game, and temporarily deposited three million spirit stones with Lin Jingsheng.

In the afternoon, Lu Linlan successively found Linghu Tianzong and Gao Yongyi of Panya Peak to talk about the gambling game.

The next day, all those involved in the gambling gathered at the Takadaba Missionary Hall. Lu Linlan made a mobilization and called on everyone to call friends and actively raise funds to make the gambling bigger and stronger.

Result -

The disciples of Eagle Hunting Peak are the poorest, and there are four disciples in person, raising a total of 6,000 spirit stones, and a total of four disciples are waiting to be dispatched.

The disciples of Bamboo Whistle Peak were a little richer, and the five disciples brought three more, raising a total of 12,000 spirit stones, and a total of eight disciples were waiting for dispatch.

Panya Peak is much richer, Gao Yongyi brought three people, raised a total of 280,000 spirit stones, and a total of four disciples were waiting for dispatch.

Danyang Peak was the richest, and Ling Hu Tian brought ten people, raising a total of 1.2 million spirit stones, and a total of eleven disciples were waiting to be dispatched.

On the side of the Eagle Peak, there was one more peak master, Lin Jingsheng, who took out 200,000 spirit stones and also participated in the fundraising. Since he is the peak master and the master of Lu Linlan, he can only be called occasionally, and cannot be dispatched at will.

The twenty-seven Zhuji disciples all took the transmission notes to Lu Linlan. This transmission note is equivalent to a walkie-talkie, which can achieve one-to-one calls within the effective distance.

In the past, Lu Linlan only had the transmission notes of Linghu Tianzong and Gao Yongyi, and he didn't even have Lin Jingsheng's. This time, for the sake of the gambling game, Lu Linlan cheekily asked Lin Jingsheng for a transmission note.

Lu Linlan's own spirit stones were mainly obtained by refining the array flag, and he raised 20,000 spirit stones by himself.

The total amount of spirit stones raised was 1,718,000. With the support of the sect, there were a total of 4,718,000 spirit stones in gambling.

Why don't you find Qi cultivation disciples? It's because they're poor.

――

It didn't take long for the small competition in the door to begin.

Before the start, there will inevitably be speeches by relevant leaders, and there will inevitably be encouragement, mobilization and prospects.

After the leader finished speaking, he actually arranged for Lu Linlan to speak.

Some of the disciples in the sect were in an uproar: How could there be a disciple in the Qi cultivation period who came to the stage to speak? The other disciples were so absent-minded that they didn't notice it at all.

Lu Linlan spoke, but didn't say a few words. Gambling is driven by red eyes and interests. It is useless to rely on speech to mobilize.

――

Next, there are the technical procedures. That is, how to group, how to calculate integrals, and so on.

After all the pre-programs are completed, a large screen is erected on the final high platform. On the curtain was written the words "First game: Dai Letong, a fifth-layer disciple of Qi training, and Chen Xinghua, a fifth-layer disciple of Qi training, please bet". The screen is in charge of Lin Jingsheng. In the world of cultivating immortals with rampant spells, it is easy to achieve such a screen.

The specific casino is located not far from the high platform. Architecture, naturally, is improvised by magic. On the outside of the building, the rules for participating in gambling are written, and precautions are also written.

The rule, that is, what Lu Linlan said to Sang Deyu - all the bets of the losing side, after deducting the operating fee of the "one percent of one percent" casino, will be divided equally among the winning side according to the amount of the winning side's bets.

The rule does show that there can be no non-payout. But the gambler's heart is not to be convinced, it has to be proved by facts.

There are only two precautions. The first is real-name registration betting. This is to avoid counterfeiting of betting credentials. The second is not to accept bets on their own participation in the game. This is to prevent individuals from faking off.

In Lu Linlan's previous life, when it was a similar situation, some casinos only stipulated that "they do not accept buying their own losses". Because it's easy to lose by yourself, and if you accept it, it's very easy to fake a fight. Lu Linlan believes that defeat is indeed easy, but victory is not necessarily difficult. There are always one or two protagonists who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, who obviously have the strength of the ninth layer of qi training, but they still have to pretend to be the fifth layer of qi training. Therefore, Lu Linlan stipulated: As long as he participates in the game, he will not accept the bet regardless of whether he wins or loses.

――

Then someone said that they can't bet, what if they let their friends bet?

Then there is no way. Provisions can only be one-size-fits-all, and specific regulations cannot be promulgated specifically because of the specific circumstances of a particular person. This loophole cannot be prevented.

However, this loophole, if it was in Lu Linlan's previous life, was really a loophole. In the world of cultivating immortals, this loophole has become almost no longer a loophole. This is because in the world of cultivating immortals, there are almost no friends and girlfriends who are heart-to-heart and can withstand the temptation of spirit stones#.

――

The time for placing bets cannot be extended indefinitely.

From the moment the words are displayed on the big screen, after a quarter of an hour, betting stops.

As a result, no one placed a bet due to a number of previous failed to pay out issues.

Such a start is obviously not good.

Lu Linlan had foreseen such a start, and through the transmission note, five people were notified to bet on Dai Letong and seven people on Chen Xinghua. This is the first game, so there are not many spirit stones to bet on. Those who bet on Letong have a total of 29 spirit stones, and those who bet on Chen Xinghua have a total of 52 spirit stones.

The competition is officially on!

The two contestants originally had nothing, just because there were more spirit stones for Chen Xinghua than for Dai Letong, so as soon as they came up, Chen Xinghua's self-confidence was stronger than Dai Letong.

The two sides fought each other, both of them were clumsy, and they had no means. It seems that the two are equal in strength.

As a result, because Chen Xinghua's self-confidence at the beginning prevailed and took the lead, he narrowly won.

The gambling game is settled, and the bet on Dai Letong loses. Twenty-nine spirit stones, deducting one percent of one percent, is equivalent to deducting zero .29 spirit stones. At this time, it is no longer rounded, but "less than the mantissa of one spirit stone, calculated according to one spirit stone": deduct one spirit stone.

Twenty-eight spirit stones, fifty-two spirit stones assigned to the winning side. Seven people bet on five, eight, ten, seven, nine, ten, and three spirit stones respectively, and get 2.69 about equal to three, 4.31 about equal to four, 5.38 about equal to five, 3.77 about equal to four, 4.85 about equal to five, 5.38 about equal to five, 162 about equal to two, respectively, return 8, 12, 15, 11, 14, 15, 5, a total of 80 spirit stones.

In this bureau, a total of twenty-nine plus fifty-two zero stones were collected, totaling eighty-one spirit stones. After deducting one spirit stone from the gambling operation fee, a total of eighty spirit stones will be returned.

The real situation is that the bet on both sides is their own people, so it doesn't matter if they win or lose. There is only one spirit stone, which has become the working capital of the gambling game.

――

"Hey, I just got three spirit stones, I thought I would lose if I lost, but I actually returned five spirit stones!

"I said, I only won ten spirit stones, how can I win five spirit stones like him-he only laid down nine spirit stones?"

Naturally, outsiders don't know the real situation. All they knew was that someone had won, and they had successfully obtained the spirit stone.

――

"Second game: Lu Xiuran, a fifth-layer disciple of Qi training, and Gao Jiaping, a fifth-layer disciple of Qi training, please bet" As soon as the words came out, there were people who really bet.

In this competition, all the schedules have been studied. The two sides of the competition are basically equal in strength. It's hard to tell in advance who wins and who loses, especially in the early stages.

That is, the win-loss ratio, half a point each.

In this case, how does the game work? Through this game, you can see it.

――

Real betting, betting on Lu Xiuran, a total of eighty-two spirit stones, betting on Gao Jiaping, flat ninety-one spirit stones. Eighty-two is not much different from ninety-one. It means that in the eyes of the spectators, these two are really comparable.

Afterwards, Gao Jiaping lost. One percent of the ninety-one spirit stones is still less than one. Deduct a spirit stone gambling operating fee. Ninety spirit stones plus eighty-two spirit stones of the original note were returned to the bettors of Lu Xiuran.

This is the result of Lu Linlan's lack of action.

――

In fact, Lu Linlan notified the people and placed bets separately at both ends. The funds placed are basically the same at both ends. Charge Lu Xiuran, one hundred and two spirit stones, and charge Gao Jiaping ninety-nine spirit stones.

Then, the bet on Gao Jiaping lost, ninety-one plus ninety-nine, which equals one hundred and ninety. Deduct the operating expenses of the two spirit stones.

One hundred and eighty-eight spirit stones, distributed to the punters of the Lu Xiuran.

The true bettors assigned to the eighty-two spirit stones are eighty-three .seventy-eight, which is about equal to eighty-four;

Allocated to the betting trust, one hundred and four points and twenty-one, which is approximately equal to one hundred and four spirit stones.

Outcome:

When there is no action, return 90 spirit stones plus the original note 82 spirit stones to the real bettor; after the action, return 84 spirit stones plus the original note, missing 6 spirit stones;

The winning party's gambling funds of one hundred and two spirit stones are returned as they are, and the ninety-nine spirit stones of the losing party become one hundred and forty stone for the winning party's gambling profit, with five more spirit stones.

The difference is one spirit stone, which is incorporated into the operating expenses. Make the camp fee change from one spirit stone to two spirit stones.

Final evaluation: Earned a little, not much.

――

So, what if Lu Xiuran loses?

In the case that Lu Linlan did not act, Lu Xiuran lost, and eighty-two spirit stones were charged with operating expenses, which was still one spirit stone.

Return the eighty-one spirit stones, plus the original ninety-one spirit stones, to the bettor who bet on Gao Jiaping.

After Lu Linlan made a move, the result changed.

The base draw for the operating fee is changed to eighty-two plus one hundred and two, which equals one hundred and eighty-four. Operating fee two spirit stones.

One hundred and eighty-two spirit stones, distributed to the bettors of the Ru Lu Xiuran. 91+99=190

The true bettor assigned to the ninety-one spirit stones, eighty-seven points and one seven, is about equal to eighty-seven spirit stones;

Allocated to the gambling trust, ninety-four points eighty-three, which is about equal to ninety-five spirit stones

Outcome:

When there is no action, return 81 spirit stones plus the original note 91 spirit stones to the real bettor; after there is an action, return 87 spirit stones plus the original note, and add 6 spirit stones;

The winning party's gambling funds of ninety-nine spirit stones were returned as they were, and the one hundred and two spirit stones of the losing side became the winner's bet to win ninety-five and zero stones, missing seven spirit stones.

The difference of one spirit stone is also due to the fact that the operating fee has changed from one spirit stone to two spirit stones.

Final evaluation: Lost a little, not much.

――

Yes, that's what a regular casino is: you don't make a lot of money, and you don't lose a lot of money.

The normal operation of the casino is mainly to prevent accidents.

Of course, Lu Linlan also has the intention of attracting more people and more funds to participate in gambling.

――

What does it mean to prevent accidents?

Naturally, it is a relatively extreme case.

Suppose, suddenly there is a scene like the one written in the novel. On both sides of the war, one side is famous, and the other is unknown. The real situation is that the little-known person is the protagonist, and he can kill the famous person.

Start placing your bets. Everybody's betting on the famous one. The little-known man put on makeup and bought himself to win.

And then the main character makes a lot of money.

――

This kind of scene is inherently problematic.

If the unknown person is not the protagonist, he did not bet on himself to win, and he loses, then, where does the money come from to bet on the famous person?

Bet on a spirit stone, win, return the original bet is still a spirit stone - win, but equal to no bet. Does such a gamble have any meaning?

Therefore, in any such one-sided game, the normal game will not be opened.

But things always go unexpected. Either someone suppressed it above, or it was not expected in advance, in short, the handicap has been opened. After the opening, it was found that all the people who placed direct bets were only placed on one side.

This is an extreme case.

At this time, it is impossible for the casino not to place bets. Because if you don't do it, it becomes a one-to-one. The next point, no matter how much it becomes a loss, it will work. In short, it is greater than one to one, and the face will be passable.

At this point, there are often three solutions.

One is to place a small bet on the blank side so that the odds of the other side are greater than one to one. This is what I just said.

The second is that if a small bet suddenly appears on the blank side, the bet will be placed on the same side by multiple times the amount.

The third is to take the multi-party amount as the standard, and bet on both sides at the same time.

――

Needless to say, the results of the first option are self-explanatory.

The second is the situation where there is a suspected protagonist appearing and is small and big.

Suppose the long side is fifty, the less side of the protagonist is one, and the casino working capital is ignored. If the protagonist wins, take fifty-one and leave.

At this point, the casino keeps up with bets that are several times the main character, and the multipliers are assumed to be nine, and fifty to one becomes fifty to ten. If the protagonist wins, he will take six and leave, and the casino will take fifty-four and win forty. If the protagonist loses, the casino loses nine. It is equal to the casino "winning forty with a loss of nine".

The third is to approve the amount of multiple parties into one unit, which becomes one. One for both sides of the casino. If the less side loses, the casino loses one, and the other side has one to divide with the original bet, which is equivalent to only half of the loss. If the less side wins, the casino wins one. This is "winning one by losing half".

Which option to choose depends on the specific situation at the time.

As far as Xiaobi in the Yanlong Sect is concerned, Lu Linlan's plan is just to attract more people and more funds to participate. The big profit is arranged in the big competition stage.
