Chapter 1376: Gambling Battle (2)
What's the murder, you're not the leader? But accepting money and serving people, he still said with a smile: "We are first determining ten players, these players are all brought by gamblers, gamblers bet, and then an order, these players immediately rushed into the horse ring."

"Horse ring? Does it depend on who gets on the horse fast? ā
Geralt frowned, and everyone thought it was a strange bet.
"Hehe, there are hundreds of horses in the horse ring, and the contestants are going to choose the horses, and after choosing the horses, it depends on who reaches the finish line first."
"Hundreds? Choosing a horse? If you choose a good horse, isn't it not worth comparing? Sun Jie said in surprise.
Wei Tang said with a smile, "The quality of the horses in the horse ring is not much different, of course, there are slightly better horses, but it is not so easy to pick among the hundreds, if you are looking for a good horse, maybe you haven't found it yet, and people have already run to the finish line on ordinary horses."
"In fact, it doesn't matter if a good horse is good, what matters is who rushes out of the ring first, generally speaking, the first person to break out of the ring is the winner, and the odds of this kind of gambling are one to one."
"What about the life-and-death fight?" Geralt nodded.
"There are two kinds of life and death fights, one is the fight between man and beast, the rule is that the casino draws one from a hundred slaves at will to fight with three wild wolves, and gamblers can press the wolves or slaves.
"The other is that twenty slaves are divided into two groups and fight each other, and the last one survives and the group wins, both of which pay one to one."
"Isn't this the gladiatorial arena? Where did you learn that? ā
Dio asked, a little confused, and Vitang smiled.
"It's not exactly a gladiatorial arena, this kind of life-and-death fight can also be sent by the gamblers themselves, but if the gamblers participate in the human-beast fight, the wild wolf is six, and the odds become one to two.
"Of course, if you think you are powerful, you can also ask to fight twelve or eighteen wild wolves, and the odds have become four to one and eight to one, but these latter two are rarely selected.
"And if you fight with slaves, slaves are in groups of ten, and gamblers can only be in groups of five."
"Why do gamblers participate several times by themselves?"
"Hehe, since the gambler dares to send someone to participate, then he must be sure, of course the casino must increase the difficulty, otherwise it will not be ironclad and lose money?
"But if you're really strong, it's a big win, because the casino has a rule that if the same person is playing in a row, the odds are doubled.
"For example, after you kill six wild wolves, you don't rest, and then gamble, the wild wolves increase to eight, the odds double one to three, the third round of wild wolves increases to twelve, the odds are one to four, the fourth round of wild wolves increases to eighteen, the odds are one to five, the fifth round is the wild wolf increases to twenty-six, the odds are one to six, it is said that there is no sixth round."
"Wow, that's a real win!" Vijay looked excited.
Wei Tang smiled, "Hey, don't think it's so beautiful, this kind of gambling has only happened three times, and the most powerful one gambled to the third round, but all three of them were eaten raw by wild wolves in the end."
"The wild wolves of our savannah are fierce in their own right, let alone specially trained by casinos...... You know, ordinary people can't even deal with a wild wolf. ā
"Are there better odds?"
Dio was a little curious, he wished that there would be a loss of 100, so that once he won, he would be enough immediately.
"Yes, why not, what I just said is a continuous bet, and there is a kind of doubling bet, that is, the first round of fighting twelve wild wolves, one to four, the second round of fighting twenty-four wild wolves, one to eight, the third round of fighting eighty-four wild wolves, one to sixteen, the fourth round of fighting one hundred and sixty-eight wild wolves, one to thirty-two, there is no fifth round."
Dio and the others were dumbfounded, although the odds reached thirty-two, but there were also one hundred and sixty-eight wolves, not to mention so much, even more than twenty could eat people to the bone.
"Can you just let it go halfway through the bet?" Sun Jie was curious.
Wei Tang smiled, "How can it be so good? Once you start to gamble or double your bet, you can't stop until the end, otherwise wouldn't a lot of people come to make a profit? So over the years, there are still people who try to gamble, but absolutely no one tries to double the bet, and it is definitely not done by people. ā
To this, everyone nodded in agreement, this kind of gambling is partly participated in by one person, think about the situation of a person facing more than a hundred ferocious wolves, all of them swallowed their saliva involuntarily, who will crush people in this kind of gambling game.
Wei Tang, who had already finished the introduction, asked Zhao Hu: "My lord, are we going to bet on horse racing or life and death fighting?" ā
"Let's go to life and death, right?" Zhao Hu, who had a decision in his heart, didn't even think about it.
Geralt immediately said to Zhao Hu: "My lord, these two gambling methods, none of us can play a role, let's give us a little chips, let's go to the inner casino to play a role, although there are both limit odds and low, but a few people combined, you can still make a profit." ā
The gambling masters also nodded their heads in agreement, and after knowing what to gamble in the casino, Geralt and these self-proclaimed gambling masters were all dejected.
These two gambling methods simply rely on their own combat effectiveness to win, and they can't give full play to their gambling skills at all.
Zhao Hu nodded: "How much?" ā
Gera nodded his head: "Twenty chips per person, give one hundred and twenty." ā
Zhao Hu signaled, and Dio took out one hundred and twenty chips from the Locke brothers, who were responsible for carrying the money, and handed them to Gerart and other gambling masters.
In this way, Geralt took five gambling masters and a group of gamblers who preferred formal gambling equipment to the casino.
And the rest of the people, of course, followed Zhao Hu to gamble on the fight to the death.
Wei Tang said as he led the way: "The casino for horse racing is set up outside the bazaar, and the fight to the death is inside the bazaar, this way. ā
Under the leadership of Wei Tang, everyone heard a loud commotion from a distance, and then they saw a camp surrounded by a fence and guarded by hundreds of cavalrymen with bows and swords at the gate.
Before entering the camp, Zhao Hu and the others handed over their weapons and horses, Wei Tang explained that this was a measure to prevent gamblers from losing red eyes and moving knives, and others were still a little reluctant, but under Zhao Hu's order, they still obediently handed over their weapons.
When you enter the camp, the first thing that catches your eye is a large group of people standing on a circular wooden platform three or four meters high, facing the center and shouting desperately.
Wei Tang pointed to the wooden platform and introduced: "This is the viewing platform, which can stand four or five thousand people at the same time. It is divided into five floors, from the outside to the inside, the first floor is lower than the first floor, so that no matter which floor you stand on, you will not be blocked by the people in front of you, and you can see the situation of the gladiatorial arena clearly.
"At the center of the platform is a gladiatorial arena with a diameter of 20 meters and more than 3 meters underground. There is a close-slit fence on the edge of the gladiatorial arena that slopes inward, and the wild wolf will never be able to jump out. ā
Then he pointed to the left side of the viewing platform and said, "That's where bets and exchanges are placed." ā
There was a row of dozens of counters fenced by fences, each with two strong men guarding in front of it, and behind the counters was a clerk and two armed guards standing behind him.
When Wei Tang was about to take Zhao Hu and the others to the viewing platform, a gong sounded, and the shouters were immediately divided into two kinds, one was either frustrated and crying, or swearing loudly, and the other was all shouting happily, which seemed to be the difference between winners and losers.
The winner was decided, the crowd dispersed all at once, and those who won rushed to the dozens of counters with smiles on their faces, tickets flying in their hands.
"Hey, these bills have roots, where to bet where to change, wait for the adult to bet on the counter." Wei Tang reminded.
Zhao Hu and the others, who have a little knowledge, all silently watched the documents that exchanged chips for Ma Li, it seems that the horse thieves do have a very good set, and these familiar documents are not so easy to train.
What made Zhao Hu frown even more was that they looked like they were all grassland people, and their demeanor didn't look like they had been taken captive, that is to say, they were cultivated by the grassland itself.
What does this mean?
You must know that the Feimu Banner allies are a country without writing, and it is very troublesome to use the languages of other countries to cultivate local talents.
The crowd of chips quickly left, and these people rushed to the right in twos and threes, and Wei Tang explained: "My lord, they have all gone to observe the object of the next bet, how about we go and see?" ā
Of course, there is no need to talk nonsense, Zhao Hu and his party immediately rushed to an open space, only to see that there were six wild wolves held in six wooden cages here, and seeing the ferocious appearance of those tall wild wolves, constantly biting the wooden cage with sharp claws and teeth, Zhao Hu and the others all gasped.
However, those gamblers were enthusiastically surrounding the six wild wolves, and of course, a man next to him who was expressionless, tall and strong, and about to fight, was inevitably touched by those gamblers.
When Zhao Hu's group, especially Dio and Sun Jie, couldn't help but want to lean forward to take a closer look, Zhao Hu said a word to Wei Tang with a natural expression, which immediately made the two of them jump up in panic.
"How can I go down to the fight?"
Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Wei Tang was stunned for a moment, reacted for a while, first glanced at the ring on Zhao Hu's hand, and then asked suspiciously: "My lord, do you mean that you will go down to gamble in person?" ā
"No! Adults, you can't venture out for yourself! ā
Dio, Sun Jie and the others immediately objected, and the servants who came with them immediately knelt down, and the centurions said excitedly: "Master, please let the minions serve you!" ā
After Zhao Hu ordered the servants to get up, he said with a smile: "It's not that I'm boasting, my strength should be the most powerful among you." ā
Hearing this, everyone opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but the two brothers Locke and Luo Fei, who were stunned, nodded and said, "That's right, the two of us can't beat the adults together, and the adults are the most powerful." ā
