Chapter 12 William Hill Odds
At the junction of Greenwood and Leeds in North London, there are very few people in the country who know this place. But when it comes to the three major legal gambling companies in the world. William Hill, domestic fans or gamblers are thunderous. It's like people who speculate in stocks have the same level of understanding of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
What's the horse? You don't know William Hill? All right! It's better to stay away from gambling and cherish life! Because you must be in China or Macau, betting on the black village of a small bookmaker! William Hill is a legal bookmaker after all, and it was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2002. In 2005, William Hill acquired 624 gaming stores in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Isle of Man and Jersey, spending more than 500 million pounds, making it surpass Ladbrokes in the scale of gaming stores to become the largest giant in the British gaming market. However, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) forced it to sell 78 of the gambling shops under the Anti-Unfair Competition Ordinance. In December 2005, its market value fell out of the FTES100 Index due to the impact of overly aggressive acquisition bad debts.
Thomas stood in the presidential suite on the top floor of the William Hill Hotel and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Look out the window at the rush of traffic. There were a lot of cars on the side of the road, and he looked back at his secretary Cristini and said: "Dear Cristini, Real Madrid tried desperately to raise the value of David's transfer to us before, how much did we pay for it?" Cristini glanced at the data report and said, "Thomas, we spent almost 20 million euros in total to raise David's value. I said Thomas, do you think it's worth it for us to do this? ”
Thomas nudged the frames of his black glasses. He smiled and said, "David Beckham will work hard for our sponsorship." Cristini shrugged his shoulders and said, "Thomas, I heard that you, as our chief actuary, actually want to go to the ancient country of the Far East for a vacation?" I don't think the boss would agree! Do you know how many people in the whole world want to be in your position? They can drown you with a mouthful of saliva! Thomas laughed and said, "Ha Ha The boss hasn't approved my vacation yet! Before that, I've already calculated the Spanish derby in a few days! As he spoke, he handed the file to Christini.
"Oh God! You actually opened such a handicap? Real Madrid makes Barcelona two hemispheres? Barcelona concede a goal? I think Barcelona will go crazy! The fans of Barcelona will curse you! Then he took the actuarial filing documents and turned to leave.
Thomas, as an actuary for William Hill, actually has a lot to consider. Including the strength base of the team, whether to cooperate with the bookmaker or not, the sense of honor of the team and so on
It is generally the South American team or the top five European leagues that are the most reliable. Very cooperative with the bookmaker, there are always unexpected results. Because people do have that strength!
Maybe some officials are in contact with this topic for the first time, let's popularize relevant knowledge. For example, Real Madrid gave Barcelona a goal, that is, a team with the same strength beat Barcelona by one goal than Real Madrid. Gamblers don't lose or make money. Only Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Barcelona did the gamblers make money. If you concede two balls, that is, three to zero, the bookmaker will make money. The score of 2 to 2 is won by Barcelona fans. What is the concept of the two hemispheres? That is, Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, 3-3 situation. The punters are all winners, and only four to two will the bookmaker make money!
Let's look at a simple arithmetic problem. Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. The odds are set. (2.051) That is, if Real Madrid wins, you can get 10,000 (principal) + 10,000 multiplied by 2.05 for 30,500 yuan. If Real Madrid is drawn or beaten by Barcelona, they lose all 10,000 yuan. …,
Well, this is the end of popularizing knowledge, and at the same time, I remind everyone that actuaries are old ladies holding children and drinking gruel. Call it despicable and shameless! It is to take money out of the wallets of the people of the whole world! Cherish life and stay away from gambling!
At this time, the land of China was already shrouded in darkness. Li Xiaoteng, who was resting at home, was still struggling with the problem of gambling funds. The first pot of gold still hopes to be as much as possible, not how big the heart is, how big the world is! But how much capital there is, how big the income is!
Li Xiaoteng, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning, was upset. The phone rang. Li Xiaoteng took the mobile phone from the bedside and looked at it, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "Sick Zhao Fatty!" It's two o'clock in the morning, and I even called myself. After thinking about it, I pressed the answer button.
Today's call was weird. Li Xiaoteng usually answers Zhao Fatzi's phone every time. Zhao Fatzi will shout: "Brother Teng is mighty!" Brother Teng rippling! Brother Teng's Confidential ~" is like an eternal code "Heavenly King Covers the Tiger, Pagoda Town River Demon!" "General. If there is something to do, Zhao Fatzi always shouts two sentences, one to improve the centripetal force between brothers. Second, Zhao Fatzi may always want to show himself, some of the emotional intelligence is higher than others!
But today is strange, endless silence on the phone
Li Xiaoteng was very strange, and secretly thought in his heart that it would not be Zhao Fatzi who deliberately harassed him! This kind of thing was only harassed when I was in high school! It's as boring as if when I was in kindergarten, I deceived Zhao Fatzi's toilet paper and let Zhao Fatzi squat in the toilet for a long time!
Li Xiaoteng, who was about to press the hang-up button, heard Zhao Fatzi's voice from the mobile phone: "Brother Teng, have you slept?" Li Xiaoteng said angrily: "I don't sleep at two o'clock!" It's something that only a desperate Saburo writer can do! Only a writer like Li Xiao'er will not sleep at two o'clock and update desperately! I'm not sick! ”
Zhao Fatzi said very lonely: "Brother Teng, I am downstairs in your house now, can you come down to accompany me?" Something happened to the Malatang stall today! "Li Xiaoteng heard that something happened to the spicy hot stall! Immediately sat up and said, "Wait for me for two minutes, I'll go down right away!" Then he got dressed, crept open the door of his house like a thief entering the house, looked at his parents' room opposite, and closed the door. Li Xiaoteng didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't even dare to lock the door of the house when he put on his shoes, for fear that his parents would hear the sound of him sneaking out. Anyway, there is Zhao Fatzi and himself at the door of the town, and it doesn't matter if the door is closed or not. I don't close the door, but I am afraid that my parents will worry about me and not let myself go!
There are no street lights in the old-fashioned community, only a row of street lamps facing the street, and I don't know when the light bulb was broken by a naughty child with a slingshot. Fortunately, the moon is bright today.
Li Xiaoteng looked at the fat man downstairs with the help of the moonlight, and pushed a second-hand big board car with a depressed expression! I saw that the plastic foam box above was still full of all kinds of spicy hot. Li Xiaoteng looked at Zhao Fatzi, and saw that there was no trace of scar on Zhao Fatman's round fat face. I look at the wearing, and it is also very clean and tidy.
Strangely asked, "Snatched?" Fat Zhao shook his head. Li Xiaoteng then asked: "Is that the money lost?" Zhao Fatzi shook his head without speaking.
Li Xiaoteng became more and more strange and said, "Don't tell me, you made other people's wife's belly bigger!" You kid! ”
By the moonlight, I saw Zhao Fatzi's small eyes. Suddenly a pair of crystal tears flowed out! Li Xiaoteng was in a hurry at that time! I wanted to shout loudly, but I was afraid of disturbing the rest of the neighbors, so I lowered my voice and said, "! Are you a man? What can't I say! Actually pee my here! Are you itching? ”
Zhao Fatzi pointed to the spicy tang on the car and said, "Brother Teng, I don't do Malatang anymore, I found that I can't do it at all!" Li Xiaoteng was speechless for a moment. I went around the cart. Helplessly asked, "Have you encountered the legendary underworld?" ”…,
Zhao Fatzi shook his head and said, "I spilled most of the spicy soup you left for me." But I put down the spice the way you did yesterday. But the old customers who came yesterday said that the taste of this spicy tang is not at all the same as yesterday. It's so much worse. You see~" said and pointed to the spicy box with his hand. "Everything is here, and I haven't sold many points at all, and it's less than twenty copies at the top!"
Li Xiaoteng looked at Zhao Fatzi and said speechlessly: "You call me, I'm adjusting a pot for you!" How do you look like a big girl! Zhao Fatzi choked up and said, "Brother Teng, I found that I am not the material for this at all!" I'm still good at work. It's not something I can do at all! ”
Li Xiaoteng casually copied a lettuce skewer. Pull off a leaf, put it in your mouth and chew it. said: "Brother Dong, so be it! I'll take a stake in your spicy hot stall! I want fifty-one percent of the shares! Do you think it will happen? ”
After hearing this, Zhao Fatzi felt very surprised, but his face instantly turned from rainy to sunny! Nodding desperately, he said, "Okay, good!" Then his face darkened again and said: "You are a college student, and I am a junior high school student who is working in a spicy hot stall!" I'm so sorry for you! Forget it! Li Xiaoteng went up and kicked Zhao Fatzi: "What are you doing with your mother-in-law!" I didn't sell parallel mobile phones to people in Yangqiao! ”
"That's different, you were a work-study student at that time! It's a good time for you, you should go to work for a big company! After listening to this, Li Xiaoteng burst into a foul mouth: ", where is the current college student still valuable!" You stand on top of the building of Xidan Pai Lou and throw a steel adze! A hundred dollars to throw down. smashed a hundred people, ninety of them were college students! There is also a graduate student and two postdocs! That's it! I want 51% of your shares, and I will use my skills and funds to invest in the shares! Let's do it! ”
Zhao Fatzi was puzzled again: "Where is the uncle and aunt?" Li Xiaoteng said angrily: "I'll say it!" Zhao Fatzi said happily: "Okay! But then he asked suspiciously: "Then why do you want 51% of the shares for your shares?" ”
Li Xiaoteng rubbed his temples and said speechlessly: "I want absolute control!" I want the right to speak! Zhao Fatzi said to himself: "Eh, don't you listen to everything from childhood to adulthood~ Why are you doing this false trick~~"
Li Xiaoteng raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Fatzi, who hurriedly said, "Hehe, good night, good night." I'll come to you tomorrow at noon! With that, he boarded his broken cart and drove away.
Mr. Gu of the Rising Sun Phaeton didn't sleep at more than two o'clock. I saw a Simmons big bed, and Mr. Gu was holding a naked beauty. Stroking the red cherry on the white rabbit on the chest of the beautiful woman. Kneading, kneading. Lean down and lick it for a while. The two of them were sweating profusely and chatting about something. At first glance, it was a fierce battle. I just don't know if the two of them are halftime or have already ended!
At this time, Mr. Gu's phone rang, and he picked up the phone insultingly. The expression was immediately serious, and he answered it, and casually compared a silent message to the beauty.
I only listened to the other end of the phone and asked, "Xiao Gu, have you slept?" Mr. Gu hurriedly said: "Mr. Bai! I haven't rested yet, I'm reading a book! You say! ”
"Oh! Hehe, it's a good thing that young people love to learn, you are so good at finance, it must have something to do with reading, I always like to read some fantasy novels. I'm going to keep up with you more in the future! Look more at the long knowledge of the comparable fantasy of the urban class! ”
You came and went casually and politely, and Mr. Gu asked, "I don't know what happened when you called so late?" Mr. Bai said: "I called from above just now, and this crackdown was supposed to be sentenced to five years in prison according to the Chinese Criminal Law. But by going through the relationship, you don't have to go to jail! But there are still some problems! ”
