As a world-famous gambling city, Las Vegas can be said to have it all, in addition to the variety of games in the casino, they also have a variety of gambling boards opened by the major giants, which is dazzling. From the eye-catching boxing champion of the century, a single gambling plate can gather tens of billions of funds; to the selection or final match of the male guests of the blind date entertainment show, and the participants are also countless; To the Super Bowl, the World Cup, the Olympics and other sports events that are celebrated all over the world, there are thousands of projects, which is simply an eye-opener.

Unlike casinos, these markets have requirements for minimum bankroll, as well as wagering time, wagering amount, and so on. To make sure there are no tricks and cheats, the dealer will even review bets over a certain amount - after all, the dealer opens to win, not to lose. Therefore, participating in such a gambling market is often a real veteran gambler, even more exciting than stocks.

Ian obviously didn't expect Lance to play such an idea, which made him squint his eyes slightly, as if sensing that Lance was a little strange.

In fact, Lance has always had a kind of gambler's arrogance and strength in his bones, such as "Harry Potter" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" during the Diorama Films, he is often bold enough to make some decisions that others dare not challenge, with a "go-big-or-go-home" mentality, and give it a go. This time "Sin City" is obviously the same, if it is a safe plan, it should wait until the completion of "Kill by a Knife" - or even after the release - before making the next calculation, but Lance decided to take a desperate gamble.

However, Ian understands Lance, and Lance's gambler mentality has limitations, and all of it comes from his own judgment and trust in his own strength. In simple terms. Lance chose to challenge Sin City at this time because he believed the bet was worth the gamble and because he believed his strength would minimize the risk. It's a real thing, and the initiative is always in the hands of Lance.

But ethereal things like stocks, investments, and gambling are all blamed on luck and unwilling to get too involved. Of course, Ian can't argue that even the top stock traders can't say that they win every battle, and luck is part of their strength.

So. Lance suddenly brought up the Las Vegas betting market at this time, and Ian almost didn't know the man in front of him, "Are you sure you know what you're talking about?" Or is it a sleepy bug talking? ”

Ian's teasing made Lance chuckle, "I know what I'm talking about, but I don't know if I'm sure." I just think that if you want to gather a lot of capital in a short period of time, maybe this is the fastest shortcut. ”

"Yes, but it's also the quickest way to commit suicide." Ian nodded. Shook his head speechlessly. Ian works for a venture capital firm, and his usual work is more about risk assessment and capital operation, even if he himself, he is simply ignorant of the changes in the gambling market. "So, you have inside information?" If you get accurate inside information in the stock market, you can earn $40 million in a short period of time. It's not that hard, but ...... The reason why these messages are called "inside lines" is because they are not so easy to get. And many of them are false. Not to mention the Las Vegas markets.

Lance thought for a moment, "No, I wouldn't say that. After all, it's the European Championship and every team wants to win the title. But, I have a good hunch that I think we can give it a try. "Intuition and strength analysis, this is the only reason why Lance can stand, and now it depends on whether Ian is willing to believe it.

Ian raised his right hand to support his chin and looked intently at Lance, sitting quietly in place, lost in thought. Maybe it's just three seconds, maybe it's three centuries, Ian just looked at Lance in front of him quietly, but Lance didn't speak, just calmly greeted Ian, without explanation, but also without panic, the long river of time is like a quiet stream flowing slowly, almost giving people the illusion that time has been frozen......

Suddenly, Ian pulled out a smile, "So, which team do you fancie?" As he spoke, Ian turned around, opened his laptop, and began to search for relevant information.

Lance's tense heartstrings loosened slightly, and the curvature of his mouth relaxed a lot, although he believed that Ian would believe him, but after all, this was the first time he had really used his "unpredictable prophet" to plan, and he didn't have a reasonable reason to convince Ian...... Isn't this a gamble? Luckily, he won the bet. "Perhaps, we can divide the bankroll into two parts, one part into the market, and one part run according to your ideas."

Ian pouted, "Two million in cash? I don't think so. When it is spread out, there is only so much that can be done. Ian moved out of the way, and then Lance saw the screen screen, and it was the Las Vegas 2004 betting market, "Anyway, the Euros are only going on for three weeks, we can see the final result and then make the calculation." ”

Ian glanced back at Lance and smiled a teasing smile, "Don't stress too much. Come to think of it, the odds on us to invest in the 'City of God' are obviously much higher. "City of God had invested $3 million, but almost no one believed that the work would be a success, let alone a profit. But they didn't hesitate to support Lance at the beginning.

Lance smiled dumbly and shook his head slightly, "But if this is successful, the benefits will be much greater." ”

"But the success rate is also much lower." Ian raised his eyebrows and said mercilessly, causing Lance to roll his eyes, and then Ian turned his chair and looked at the interface, "I still need to study it again, there are still nuances in each handicap." Which team are you going to bet on, though? ”

Ian doesn't know much about football either, but because of Gawain's existence, they pay more or less attention to sporting events. Although the world's top event in football is the World Cup, objectively speaking, the excitement of the European Cup is even more than that of the World Cup, because the 16 participating teams in the European Cup are not absolutely weak, and the proximity of strength will make the game exciting.

"France? Or are you bullish on Germany, Spain? Ian took a brief look, and Lance's gaze followed.

The 2002 World Cup has just ended. Brazil won the championship, while Germany was the runner-up. But when it comes to the European Championships, Germany is not the most favored. Since Lance remembered this too late, now that the group draw has been completed, the odds will inevitably be adjusted accordingly according to the difference between the group of death and the simple group. Germany and the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Latvia have been placed in a group that is completely dead, so the odds have all changed, and the bookmakers are clearly more favoured on the Dutch breakout than on Germany.

Now looking at the odds, France and Italy are the biggest favourites. The former is "1:4.33" and the latter is "1:5", which is at the top of the list. Hosts Portugal are close behind, with the Netherlands, Spain and England all having good odds and being favoured.

Reims skipped these teams and went all the way down, and soon found their target, Greece. The odds are impressively "1:67", in other words. As long as Greece wins, a $1 bet will win $67. In the whole odds list, it is only ahead of Latvia, Switzerland, Russia and Croatia, and it is not favored at all.

In the history of the European Cup. There were many upsets, and the fierce Cheng dù far surpassed the World Cup, in recent history, the 1992 European Cup. The Danish team, who did not qualify for the finals, were invited to replace Yugoslavia at the last minute, and finally realized the incredible Danish fairy tale. Shun lì won the championship, and the world was shocked.

At Euro 2004, fairy tales came again, but this time it was a Greek myth. Greece, who had never reached the finals of an international tournament before, suffered a two-game losing streak in qualifying, and almost everyone thought the team was once again out of the tournament finals, but then they made it to the finals with six straight wins. Despite this, Greece, which is making its debut on the world stage, is still not favored and is widely considered to be a weak team.

After the draw was completed, Greece was almost forgotten as they were drawn in a group with Portugal, Spain and Russia. In this group, Portugal and Spain are favored by everyone to qualify, while Russia and Greece, which are evenly matched, are considered to be incapable of disrupting the situation, and are more of the targets of Portugal and Spain's training.

However, after the finals began, the situation changed. Greece in the group stage, upset defeated Portugal, forced a draw with Spain, regretted losing to Russia, one win, one draw and one loss with the same record as Spain, but relied on the advantage of more goals, replaced Spain, entered the knockout stage, and relied on solid defense, with two "1-0" Shun lì reached the final, and Portugal faced off again, relying on the only goal in the game, Greece defeated Portugal for the second time, standing at the top of Europe.

This song of Greek mythology shocked the world!

Hardly anyone expected such an outcome, as the odds of "1:67" suggested, but Reims "expected" it, and his rebirth memory remembers it very clearly, because it made Portugal the only team in the history of the European Championship to host the final and lose, and the 19-year-old Cristiano-Ronaldo also came out of nowhere in this competition.

Lance stretched out his hand and pointed downward, "Greece." ”

Ian looked down, his expression suddenly becoming very playful, and he turned his head to look at Lance in a daze. Although Ian doesn't know that much about football, he also knows that Greek football is not a big club in Europe, with no history, no highlights, and not even many rumors......

Reims had intended to explain, for example, that Greece had won six in a row in qualifying without conceding a single goal...... But then I thought about it, and I didn't say anything at all, just looked at Ian calmly.

Ian tucked his chin slightly, "So, Greece?" Lance nodded in affirmation, "'City of God', and then Greece?" Ian pondered the subtleties in his mind, then raised an eyebrow, "Well, it's Greece." (To be continued.) )
