716. Bet I Win (6/10)
Under the reminder of the assistant, Matthew walked down from the second floor, and looked indifferently at the group of fishermen, who had their own majesty.
In this way, the conflict between the two sides will naturally be even more difficult, but a new conflict has appeared, that is, the second bet.
If it was playing stud, Texas Hold'em and the like, Qin Shiou would not participate, but since these people are looking for death to gamble on fishing, then he is not afraid, anyway, he will win this steadily.
Buck and his party are also confident that fishing is one of the more bizarre of all sports, as long as you can hold the rod, the older you are, the more powerful it is, because it requires a lot of experience, skill and patience from the angler.
Last time Qin Shiou was able to win, in the eyes of everyone, including Hubble and Matthew, it was just that he was lucky, Buck and they encountered a sea bass along the way and got off the hook, which is obviously abnormal.
Therefore, this time, in order to ensure that they can win, Buck and Charco have to avoid risks. They are either corporate executives or big bosses, and they have a strong sense of risk aversion, and they have found what they think is the best way to gamble after just a few words.
Bet on sea trout fishing!
This time, instead of betting on whether you can catch it, but on who will catch it first, Sergi came up to negotiate: "How about we send someone to compete with you to catch sea trout?" Whoever catches it first wins, OK? β
Qin Shiou said happily: "Deal, are you still a banker?" β
Sergi gritted his teeth and said, "Of course! β
Last time, he lost four or five hundred thousand, although this money is nothing for his net worth, but after all, he is unwilling, and four or five hundred thousand can buy a small villa in St. John's. It's not a small amount of money.
"How do the odds come from?" Qin Shiou asked.
Buck came up and interjected, "Don't we have to make the rules first?" β
"You can set the rules as you like, and I'll accompany you." Qin Shiou deliberately showed a proud expression. He looked at the group disdainfully, "Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. Ladies and gentlemen, my family has been fishing for a living for generations, and my current fishing ground is also inherited from my grandfather, and you can't win me by fishing. β
"What an arrogant young man!" A middle-aged man of Italian descent smiled, "Maybe we should go and teach him a lesson and help God teach young people a lesson." β
"If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it mad!"
Compared to last time, this fishing competition is much more rigorous, and last time it can be said that it was a bloody case caused by a joke at most. This time, the fishermen took it seriously and avoided the risk of force majeure, leaving behind real guns and live ammunition.
Sea fishing, choose a sea area, who can catch fish depends on whose ability is strong.
The target was sea trout, a brown trout that lives in the sea, and its spawning season is from June to September, when it leaves the ocean and enters the river, often appearing in the upper layers of the ocean. It is the most popular sea fishing in summer.
With the development of modern technology and the decline of traditional craftsmanship, bamboo and wood fishing rods are becoming less and less, but the price is often expensive. Only two bamboo and wood fishing rods were prepared on the yacht, and Qin Shiou chose a 5.6-meter long rod.
has already blown down the before, Qin Shiou must put on the posture of a traditional master. So he silently remembered that life is like a play, all relying on acting skills, and stood on the left side of the deck with a lonely face. I chose a squid claw as bait and threw it into the water.
Buck and the others sent the Italians who had previously said that Qin Shiou was arrogant. Andrew was afraid that he wouldn't count, so he deliberately came up and introduced: "This guy's name is Nicholas Tisimo William, a professional angler, who once won the Golden Rod Award in international fishing competitions, and is very good at fishing shallow water fish, you have to be careful." β
Nicholas is worthy of being a professional angler, he carries a fishing rod with him, which is a carbon rod, made of carbon fiber synthetic materials, lightweight, solid, and high tensile strength, and the price increases with the increase in the proportion of carbon fibers.
As a professional angler, Nicholas has a very professional work ethic, he first came up to shake hands with Qin Shiou, and then said, "Are you sure you want to fish here?" According to the rules, we need to row our own boats to find fish. β
The corners of Qin Shiou's mouth twitched, damn it, he didn't say it earlier, he was stupid for so long.
The fishermen who were waiting to see the show laughed, but Nicholas did not laugh at Qin Shiou, but continued to remind kindly: "I will use small fly bait, young man, you have to be careful, using this kind of bait I set a fishing record of 22 seconds." β
This is just a seemingly well-intentioned one, Nicholas said so, more of an empty eye, and directly used the record to create psychological pressure on Qin Shiou.
But Qin Shiou didn't care, he put away the fishing line and said with a smile: "My record is 2 seconds, once I saw a school of cod, and after throwing down the hook, I hooked one." β
Nicholas can't be kind, isn't this Chiguoguo's teasing? Lao Tzu is talking about the record of the fishing competition, who will catch the fish in the fishing competition?
Sergi sat in the village and quickly gave the odds, and this time he also avoided the risk, played very flowery, and bet in time periods, for example, the odds of Qin Shiou catching a fish within half an hour are 1 to 10, and the odds of catching a fish in five hours are 1 to 1.2.
The odds on Nicholas's side are smaller, with the odds of 2.2 to 1 for catching a fish in half an hour and 1.1 to 1.1 for catching a fish in five hours. After all, he is a professional angler who has won the Golden Fishing Rod Award, and the odds are naturally low, except for Qin Shiou, who is optimistic about him this time.
In addition, Sergi is shrewd, and there are limits on bets on both sides, with a cap of 100,000 yuan.
Qin Shiou shrugged, it was boring, he couldn't win much money, he took out a piece of paper and wrote his name and handed it to Sergi, betting that he would win, catch a fish in half an hour, and bet 100,000 yuan!
This time, the traditional fishermen must support him, this gamble is because of them, if it weren't for them to get ahead, Qin Shiou would not have clashed with Serge and the others.
Andrew and the others were about to place a bet, but Qin Shiou grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Sue sΓΉ guys, believe me!" Half an hour to end the battle! β
The group gritted their teeth and slapped the signed pieces of paper on the choice of 'Qin Shiou won in half an hour', which was regarded as supporting him, after all, people were giving them a head.
The owner of the resort fishery shook his head and sneered, if the sea trout is so easy to catch, they will choose this kind of fish ginseng betting? Like salmon, sea trout, which have returned to spawn in recent years, are facing an existential crisis.
From the Prairie provinces to the Newfoundland coastline, sea trout populations have plummeted by 80 per cent, so much so that the Department of Fisheries has had to limit catches and even close salmon fisheries, which have recently emerged.
In order to cater to this race, the yacht slowed down this time and stopped, close to the seaside to create conditions for the two of them. The two of them did not stay on the boat, one took a small kayak and went to choose a fishing spot by himself. (To be continued......)
