Chapter 15: Ate a Fly

"Then let's change the way we play and bet on this!" Ye Tianyi pointed to the big TV hanging on the wall.

Chen Bo looked up and saw that it was the 11th European Football Championship, which is what we often call the European Cup. Today is the first match in Group A, against England and Portugal.

The European Championship was hosted by the Netherlands and Belgium, and the Dutch team, which had vowed to win the championship, fell to the penalty curse, and the famous European Red Devils Belgium began to reform their football. In the end, the winner was the French team, which had just won the 98 World Cup, and the team had big names such as Zidane, Henry, and Trezeguet.

Although Chinese football has always been so bad, it has not affected Chen Bo to be a full fan.

Of course, he is very familiar with this European Cup.

Originally, he planned to slowly grind out Ye Tianyi's sharpness on the card table, and then force the other party to mess up and expose his flaws. But now it seems that Ye Tianyi is arrogant and self-defeating. nodded and agreed without hesitation!

The staff quickly sent 150,000 chips to Chen Bo.

"The chips are there, you say, how to play?" Chen Bo made up his mind and gave up the initiative, just to let him lose convincingly.

"I'll sit in the bank, you can buy whatever you want. I have the chips. Ye Tianyi grabbed the million chips on the table and smiled at Mo Fei unexpectedly. Hey, England only has odds of 1.7 for the hemisphere. I'll suffer a little loss, make a little less, and bet me 500,000 England to win the whole game. ”

Pushing half of the chips in his hand to the dealer on the side, he turned his head to Chen Bo and said, "You don't want to follow me to buy England to win, do you?" ”

"You're really shameless...... Mo Fei said hurriedly on the side.

Anyone watching the game knows that England are the favourites for this trophy, and the England team has many good players such as David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer and many others. If it weren't for a red card from Beckham's young impulsiveness, the 98 World Cup might have been able to go further.

On the other hand, if there is a superstar in the Portuguese team, there is only Figo, who plays for FC Barcelona, and Rui Costa, who plays for Fiorentina, Italy. Portugal didn't even enter the finals of the 98 World Cup, although it has the strength, but in front of England's bright stars, it is still not favored by the bookmakers.

Ye Tianyi deliberately bet on England first in a hooligan way, and then used the agitation method to stimulate Chen Bo. Either follow me to buy it, then you will fall behind, win the money and lose your face. Either you go and bet on high-risk Portugal.

Of course, there are many onlookers who love to gamble. Seeing Ye Tianyi's aggressive momentum, they all shook their heads and muttered quietly. It seems that they are not optimistic about the Portuguese team, and if they bet on themselves, they would rather not take that breath than waste the money.

Of course, Chen Bo knew what he was thinking, but said lightly, "Portugal is very good, with high odds of 2.2." 50,000 to buy the whole game Portugal wins. ”

This way of playing is the Asian handicap handicap, which means that as long as England wins, no matter how many goals it wins, it is England's handicap to win, because there can be no hemisphere. If it is a handicap of 1 goal, England will only win by 1 goal 1-0 or 2-1. That is, the bet is refunded after the flat rake.

On the other hand, as long as Portugal draws or wins, Chen Bo wins.

A dealer came over and moved the 50,000 chips in front of Chen Bo to Ye Tianyi.

"Cut, poor ghost, only 50,000. Not enough for me to have morning tea. Ye Tian was a little annoyed when he saw that his aggressive method had only succeeded in attracting 50,000 bets.

Chen Bo took the paper, and the analysis of various data of the handicap is very clear, and it should be directly in accordance with the European Bo. The odds offered by the lottery company are printed, otherwise the cumbersome data is definitely not the strength of this small building.

"Play a live handicap, I don't know if Ye Shao is interested." Chen Bo asked with the 100,000 chips in his hand.

"Accompaniment, as long as you dare to vote, I will dare to take it!"

"Then I'll buy England to score the first goal." Chen Bo directly pushed all the chips in his hand over, very simply.

In-play is to bet on the situation on the field in real time during the game, which is more exciting than buying the final result of the world.

The gameplay is also more diverse, such as which team will score first and which team will score next. The number of red and yellow cards, the odd and even number of corners, etc.

Chen Bo bet on England to score first, with odds of 1.9. The two sides are evenly divided, and if the game is one-sided, the odds will be adjusted at any time, and the side with the advantage may score first, and the odds will be lower.

Before the game, no one knows what is going on the field, so it will be the same odds.

When Mo Fei and the gamblers around him saw this practice, they were all puzzled and puzzled. Since you have a good eye on Portugal, you should keep going. Two bets are contradictory, how can normal people play like this.

When Mo Fei and Zhang Yiming tried to dissuade them again, the chips had already been thrown out, and if they were willing to gamble and lose, it would be impossible to get the chips back.

Chen Bo gave the two of them a reassuring look, and the show was still to come. The wait was not long, and it quickly reached half past two in the morning, which is half past eight in the evening European time, the prime time.

Generally, important games will be played in this time period, but it is just a bitter force for Huaxia to stay up late.

England kicked off first, and fans who are familiar with the England team know that England's style of play is mainly to take the route of long passes and hanging, and they firmly occupied the initiative at the beginning.

England broke Portugal's attack at the back, and the defender found striker Alan Shearer with a long pass, and Sile, who was so tight that he couldn't turn around, and then handed the ball to full-back Neville, who was inserted in the back row.

Neville sent in a left-footed cross that went a little high and didn't find anyone in the box, and was about to fly off the touchline when heartthrob Beckham chased him over and stopped the ball. With the signature scimitar of the full moon, the ball arced precisely over the defender's head, and Scholes, nicknamed "The Onion Head", made a powerful header from the midfielder, nicknamed "The Onion Head", which bounced into the bottom of the crossbar.

England opened the scoring in the third minute to give Portugal a 1-0 lead.

The gamblers who were all staring at the TV were instantly ignited, Beckham was so beautiful, and Scholes was great. But looking at Ye Tianyi's expression again, he was both happy and uncomfortable, as if he was happily eating a fly.

Happily England scored, the 500,000 England win he bought had a fantastic start, and the unhappy thing was Chen Bo's 100,000 live handicap, with a odds of 1.9, he had to cash out 190,000 chips immediately.

Mo Fei and Zhang Yiming couldn't wait to jump up to celebrate at this time, and the haze on their faces dissipated in an instant. It was so relieving to see Ye Tianyi's deflated expression.

Only Chen Bo was still expressionless and calmly looking at the paper handed over by the dealer.

England dominated the field and were one goal ahead. The odds to score the second goal have dropped to 1.7.

"190,000, all bets, or England scored."
