004 Horse Racing
Happy Shioxi pointed at the racehorses and shouted, "Daddy, horses!"
Zhang Hao smiled and teased Xixi and said, "Yes, Ma." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Xixi, what is the horse called?"
Xixi frowned, thought about it seriously, and then learned: "Moo!"
Zhang Hao laughed, kissed the little girl's little face, and was amused by this innocent and cute little guy.
Barney and Phil began a serious discussion, looking at the schedule, which was basically about ten races a day, with races between half an hour and an hour.
The number of the horses, the owner, the trainer, the jockey and the approximate payouts have already begun, and although these are not the top horses, they are not the best horses, but there are some fans who bet on them.
Horse racing is a pleasure to watch, and betting on horses to win the lottery is even more enjoyable. Although it is okay to simply watch horse racing without betting, it is also possible to place large bets. However, American horse racing bets are usually relatively small, with a starting point of a few dollars and a focus on participation, especially in small races like this, where few bettors will bet heavily.
Zhang Hao was still teasing the little girl, and Barney, who brought a few glasses of beer and some snacks, patted Zhang Hao's shoulder and said, "Man, are you optimistic about that horse? Now it's your turn to place your bets." ”
Zhang Hao was stunned, he didn't think about betting, although he heard that such a small game is basically betting a few dollars for fun: "I'm not in the mood, I'm not interested in these." ”
Phil next to him immediately shouted, "Dude, you should bet." When you like a horse and you bet on it, you get more involved in the game, you cheer on your horse, you want to win the race. Of course, if you win the game you will be rewarded with a beer!"
Well, it's all about engagement.
Zhang Hao looked up at the big screen, and some information on the No. 3 horse appeared on the high-definition screen.
It's just that Zhang Hao was a little stunned when he looked at the screen seriously.
"Big head and small neck, pony!"
Just at a glance, Zhang Hao immediately felt a judgment appear in his mind.
For a moment, Zhang Hao's face was a little pale, and the sky was pitiful, Zhang Hao didn't know how to ride a horse at all, nor had he gambled on a horse before, but now, it seems that he has become a master of horses.
Just when Zhang Hao was still stunned, another horse appeared on the screen, No. 5 horse, and all kinds of information about the horse appeared.
"The abdomen is flat, the flesh is straight, the thighs are thin and broad, the elbows and armpits are open, and they are all good at walking. ”
It seems that there is no need to study at all, and this information immediately appears in my mind, and the feedback I get is that this No. 5 horse seems to be quite capable of running!
A little absent-minded, a little bit of a master, but it seems to realize something.
I had a dream last night, when I thought that my ancestor was Zhang Qing without a feather arrow, and the heirloom around my neck was made by my ancestor's friend Huangfu Duan and others.
Huangfu Duan, although he was in the middle of the table in Liangshan, he was an excellent veterinarian.
Before the decline of the grass, he was a famous veterinarian, good at horses, familiar with all kinds of livestock cold and heat diseases, and was cured with medicinal needles. It is precisely because of his excellent veterinary skills that Huangfuduan, who cannot charge into battle or arrange troops, still sits in more than 50 seats, ranking in the middle of Liangshanbo.
"Is it true?"
Zhang Hao was still thinking about his own affairs, and he was really a little panicked now, not knowing whether what he had experienced the night before was a dream or a reality.
Phil and Barney didn't say much, as the two guys are now also discussing the next bet.
Xixi had already run to her grandmother's side, talking to her grandmother about the big horses, and the little girl was so excited, it was the first time she saw so many horses running.
Horses emerge from the big screen, and so do all kinds of information, not just over again, but in a constant loop that doesn't stop until the start of the race.
Zhang Hao was watching with such a stupid look, but no one noticed.
Shioxi and Grandma are having a good time, and they don't have time to notice this, and Barney and Phil are engaged in chatting, and they have their own opinions.
As for Zhang Hao, the information of the horses appeared, and he became more and more aware of these horses.
At first glance, there will be some discoveries, and if you look closely, you will find some differences, although the information obtained is becoming more and more comprehensive, but it is only distinguishing between horses and horses, and either the evaluation is higher or lower.
The ten horses in the next race were relatively compared, and Zhang Hao had some answers in his heart.
You may already know that the horses are better suited to run well on the field, and it is not all about whether the horses can run, but also whether the horses will be grumpy or healthy, and knowing the horses is not just about seeing if the horses can run.
Zhang Hao, who took a deep breath, seemed to have made a decision, and he decided to give it a try.
If last night's dreams weren't dreams, then I might have really gotten some inheritance from my ancestors and mastered some magical skills.
If this is really the case, maybe you can improve your life in the future, you can take better care of your baby daughter, and you can let your parents worry less about themselves, at least you don't have to worry about money all the time.
If it's just a dream, the big deal is that you wake up from a dream, although you may feel distressed and spend some money, but it won't be too much.
He said to Barney and Phil, who were chatting next to him, "Guys, what's the point of betting?"
Barney immediately said: "There are single wins, champions, rankings, joint wins, daily double wins, daily three wins, etc., and there are many types of bets." Dude, just look at the manual for yourself. Please, I'm sure you can read the text and understand the odds. ”
Choked for a moment, Zhang Hao also paid attention to the odds and betting categories.
There seems to be some answer in my mind.
Phil leaned over to Zhang Hao's side and asked, "Hao, which horse do you like?"
Zhang Hao replied: "I am optimistic about the No. 6 horse, it is the best horse in it." ”
Barney scoffed and said, "Dude, look at its record, it hasn't won a single game!"
Zhang Hao was startled and seemed to understand something.
It's not about the shady stuff of the racecourse, but it's about knowing that horse racing also requires a rider, and although horse racing is the foundation, a good rider can bring out the potential of a racehorse, and a bad rider can even affect the performance of a horse race.
Riders, horse racing also depends on the rider!
"Well, I'm bullish on the number five to get first, they've always been favourites and the odds are low, so it doesn't just look like we're bullish on him. I buy another spot and I'm sure the number six will be able to run second. Add another crown runner-up, and I've bought the number five and the number six anyway. ”
Zhang Hao placed three bets in a row, and Phil and Barney were not surprised;
Phil asked, and remembered what everyone wanted to bet, including Zhang Hao's mother, who was also instigated to buy the No. 5 horse first.
Zhang Hao took out a hundred dollars from his pocket, looked at his mother who was still teasing Xixi, and whispered to Phil: "My mother and I didn't bet twenty-five dollars!"
Phil glanced at Zhang Hao, a hundred dollars is not a small amount, Phil is not a rich man, he also knows that Zhang Hao is not a rich man. I originally thought it was just fun, but I didn't expect Zhang Hao to play a little big.
Phil advised, "Dude, you just need to bet a few dollars." ”
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Phil, believe me. I'm very optimistic about these horses, and I feel that I seem to understand them very well. And you know, I don't make a lot of money, but that $100 won't affect my life. ”
Since Zhang Hao said so, Phil has no opinion; it is true that the two of them are good buddies, but it is impossible to dictate other people's lives. The most important thing is that Phil knows very well that Zhang Hao doesn't have much money in his hands, but a hundred dollars really won't make much of a difference.
Phil went to bet, and Zhang Hao came to his mother and Xixi's side. "Mom, wait a minute, if that No. 5 horse wins, you'll probably make a few dollars. ”
Yu Xiu smiled and nodded unconcerned, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll also follow the example of those people before and cheer for the fifth horse with Xixi, and if it wins, I'll take Xixi to buy ice cream!"
Zhang Hao smiled, looking at his daughter's cute little face, looking at the crow's feet that were getting deeper and deeper in the corners of his mother's eyes, he clenched his fists.
Really, it has to be true!
This is an opportunity to change the lives of yourself and your family!
Phil soon came back and handed the bet slip to Zhang Hao.
Although Yu Xiu couldn't read much English, he was shocked when he saw the bet slip in his hand, how could it be twenty-five dollars, didn't it mean that it was just a few dollars to make up for fun, if the No. 5 horse didn't win, the day's food money would be gone!
Seeing that his mother was a little unhappy, Zhang Hao whispered: "Mom, you should play mahjong at home, it is normal to win and lose." ”
Yu Xiu still felt sorry for the money and said: "I didn't play mahjong before, I didn't play much, dozens of yuan, one hundred and eight yuan won or lost." It's different now, if we buy vegetables and cook at home, we have all the money for a day's food. I can still play mahjong all morning, and this horse race is gone in only two or three minutes!"
Zhang Hao said guiltily and expectantly: "So everyone says that horse racing is the most exciting two minutes, and we hope to win this race." If we win, we will eat ice cream, and if we lose, we will honestly watch the game and join in the fun. ”
chatted with my mother in a whisper, watching Xixi lie on the fence and shout at the horses that had begun to enter.
The race was about to start, the horses were in the starting line, the riders were in position, the track was empty, and now everyone was waiting for the race to start, and although there were only a few fans scattered in the stands, there was still a bit of atmosphere.
Zhang Hao watched the movement of the race nervously, and when the bell rang, the starting bar suddenly opened, and one by one the racing horses rushed out.
Horse Six took the lead and horse Five was in hot pursuit, but at the final corner, the rider of horse number six made a mistake by pulling the reins to limit his horse's speed, and horse number five overtook just after the corner.
Zhang Hao became excited, he won, he was going to win!
Really, there is really the inheritance of ancestors in the heirloom!
