Chapter 918: Take a gamble
918
"I'll definitely bet on the 8th to win!" Zhao Chunliang said with a determined face.
"Hahaha, I believe that No. 8 can win, by the way, His Royal Highness, since you are so sure that No. 8 can win, then how about we take a gamble?" Kenty. Marta said.
"Huh?" Zhao Chunliang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you betting on?" ”
"Bet on number 3 or number 8." Kenty. Marta said, "How about we take a small bet?" ”
"This..."A trace of anxiety flashed on Zhao Chunliang's face, and he said, "It's better not to do it." After all, the odds of No. 8 are too high, which proves that the bookmaker is not optimistic about No. 8. ”
"But Your Royal Highness, aren't you optimistic? You have to trust your vision! "Kenty. Marta said.
"My vision? That's not okay, no, I'm just talking casually, and besides, the odds of your No. 3 are now the lowest, and it's very champion, if I bet with you, it's too much of a loss! Zhao Chunliang shook his head and said.
"If that's not the case, let's follow this odds, how about it? Now the odds of No. 8 are 2,1 times that of No. 3, that is, if you press No. 8 by 10,000 pounds, if No. 8 wins, then I will give you 21,000 pounds, if No. 3 wins, then you will give me 10,000 pounds, how about it? "Kenty. Marta said with a smile.
"Isn't that okay? Wouldn't you be at a loss? Zhao Chunliang said.
"I can't lose anything, I'm also a member of the Kenty family, and I still lose a little money." Kenty. Marta said.
"Since you've said so, I'll take a gamble!" Zhao Chunliang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll bet on No. 8 to win!" ”
"Okay, how much does His Royal Highness plan to press? With your status as His Royal Highness, you must have to be a lot of pressure, right? "Kenty. Marta said with a smile.
"I'just... Just press 100,000 pounds! Zhao Chunliang hesitated and said.
"One hundred thousand? Your Royal Highness, this is not very commensurate with your status! "Kenty. Marta shook her head in disappointment.
"100,000 pounds is not enough? That's a million dollars!! Zhao Chunliang said with a very painful expression.
Seeing Zhao Chunliang's expression, Kenty. Marta was happy in his heart, if it was before, he would definitely not dare to gamble with a prince, because the prince has money, but he recently heard that this prince Zhao Chunliang contributed seven or eight tenths of his wealth in order to carry out reforms in Samba, so that even if this prince has more money, it is estimated that there is not much left, and now looking at Zhao Chunliang's expression, it makes Kenty. Marta is even more sure that Zhao Chunliang really has no money.
has no money and still swaggers through the market with such a beautiful chick, this is the biggest original sin.
Kenty. As a stallion-level figure who has been to the noblewomen of the British Kingdom, Marta has repeatedly tried to attract the attention of Wu Mei and Isabella but has failed to return, which makes him even more unbearable. Marta looked down on Zhao Chunliang from the roots, which is why he constantly embarrassed Zhao Chunliang.
"One million, for a person like You, Your Royal Highness, is that a lot of money?" Kenty. Marta said.
Zhao Chunliang had a difficult expression on his face.
"Your Royal Highness, if you want to play, play bigger." Fiona covered her mouth and smiled, "100,000 pounds, this is really a little, too small!" ”
"yes, that's too little!"
"Your Royal Highness, your status is noble, and you only make such a small bet, that's really a little..."
The others also followed suit.
"Okay then, then I'll be bigger!" Zhao Chunliang gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to take as many as I order?" ”
"Of course!" Kenty. Marta smiled, "Maybe Lord Wang doesn't know about the Kenty family, but our Kenty family still has some money." ”
"Then I'll give fifty million pounds." Zhao Chunliang said.
"What?"
When Zhao Chunliang opened his mouth, the people around him were stupid.
Fifty million pounds, that's an astronomical amount, even for these nobles, that's the same, because the British nobles have no fiefdom, so their income is not very high, a better annual income is probably close to a million pounds, and the bad annual income may be less than 100,000 pounds, and Kenty. A man like Marta earns millions of pounds a year, but in order to maintain the status of an aristocracy, Kenty . Marta also spends more than a million pounds a year, so there won't be much money left over for a year, 50 million pounds, that's for Kentty. For Marta, it's almost more than 20 years of savings!
Such a huge number that makes Kenty. Malta was a little stunned, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, Kentty. Marta's heart fluttered wildly.
That's 50 million pounds!
This is a very simple account, No. 1 to No. 8 horses, a total of 8 horses, and Zhao Chunliang is No. 8, that is to say, as long as No. 8 does not win the championship, for Kenty. Marta has nothing to lose, and No. 3 is by far the most favored horse, and his chances of winning the championship are far higher than that of No. 8. The probability of losing is close to 10 percent, and the probability of winning, excluding the No. 8 horse, is also more than 20 percent. The probability of Marta winning is definitely more than 50%.
Take that bet and for Kentty. As for Marta, it's basically impossible to lose money, unless it's true that No. 8 wins.
However, can the number 8 win?
Although the No. 8 horse is also a very good warmblood, at Wimbledon Racecourse, the horse of this quality can only be ranked downstream, and the No. 3 horse is completely two levels.
"Is what His Royal Highness said true?" Kenty. Marta asked.
"It's true!" Zhao Chunliang said seriously, "I'll press 50 million pounds!" Horse No. 8! ”
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive!" Kenty. Marta said with a smirk, "Fifty million pounds, that's not five thousand dollars!" ”
"What I said was naturally considered, and we can make a note now!" Zhao Chunliang said.
"Good!!" Kenty. Marta said, "Since His Royal Highness intends to gamble so much, then I will accompany you, and we will make a contract now!" ”
"Good!!"
Soon, under the witness of a large group of nobles, Zhao Chunliang and Kenty. Marta made a pact.
The contract is very simple, Zhao Chunliang bets 50 million, bet on the No. 8 horse to win, if the No. 8 horse really wins, Kenty. Marta has to pay Zhao Chunliang a total of 100 million pounds, if there is not enough money, then he can use the assets as collateral, and if the No. 3 horse wins, then Zhao Chunliang needs to pay Kenty. Marta fifty million pounds, if there is not enough money, it can be mortgaged with assets and even taxes from the fiefdom. Otherwise, any other horse wins, and neither side wins or loses.
The contract signed Zhao Chunliang and Kenty. Marta's name, and the handprint was pressed, and the contract was officially valid.
"I hope that Your Highness the Lord will be able to win!" Kenty. Marta left with a contract, there were two contracts in total, one was placed here by Zhao Chunliang, and one was placed at Kenty. Marta there.
"Uncle, that No. 8 horse is really so skeletal surprise that you can spend so much money to press him?" Wu Mei asked curiously.
"Of course not." Zhao Chunliang shook his head and said, "You can see by looking at the odds, the No. 8 horse is not favored." ”
"Then uncle, why are you?" Wu Mei looked at Zhao Chunliang strangely, not knowing why Zhao Chunliang made such a heavy bet when he knew that the No. 8 horse was not favored.
"I once heard a very sensible saying, the first lesson before the table: never gamble. Do you know why? Zhao Chunliang asked.
"I don't know." Wu Mei shook her head.
"Nine out of ten lies." Zhao Chunliang touched Wu Mei's head with a smile and said, "No matter how fair gambling it seems, as long as he gambles, there must be a scam. ”
"Oh, and then?" Wu Mei still didn't understand what Zhao Chunliang meant.
"Horse racing is also a form of gambling." Zhao Chunliang said with a smile, "No matter how unoptimistic a horse is on the plate, as long as the dealer wants to make money, then he has a chance, today's racecourse, according to these people, his bet on a plate is about close to 50 million, the dealer needs to calculate, in such a plate of bets, which horse he wants to let take the first, he can make money, if my 50 million directly smashed into the plate, the No. 8 horse is absolutely impossible to take the first, because the dealer can not do a loss-making business, but, fortunately, The money didn't go down the plate, he smashed it on Kenty. In Marta's private handicap, that is, the money does not interfere with the direction of the game. ”
"Uncle, you can't be sure that the dealer will let the No. 8 horse run first!" Wu Mei said suspiciously.
"The dealer is trading, and I can also operate." Zhao Chunliang said with a smile, "I just need to throw a sum of money into it, scatter this money among the horses, and let the dealer only get the No. 8 horse to get the first they can make the most money, which is fine, and if I smash some of this money to the No. 3 horse, then no matter what, No. 3, it is impossible to open." ”
"I don't know much, but it sounds like it's amazing!" Wu Mei sighed.
"If the No. 8 horse wins, then I can make 100 million and 5 million pounds, that is, I can pay for it out of my own pocket first, throw this 100 million and 5 million into the plate to trade, and wait for the No. 8 to actually win the first place, Kenty. Marta had to give me the hundred and fifty million. Zhao Chunliang said with a smile.
"Uncle, didn't you earn a penny?" Wu Mei asked.
"yes!" Zhao Chunliang nodded and said, "I didn't make a penny." ”
"So what are you gambling on?" Wu Mei said, "What's there to bet on if you don't make money?" ”
"You don't understand this, let your opponent lose money, this is a kind of money in itself, okay, don't talk about it, I have to start trading!" Zhao Chunliang smiled and picked up his mobile phone and called Zemel.
