Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Gambler's Psychology
Everyone in prison is not ordinary, everyone has their own story, and if life is dull, then they will not go to prison.
Pelican Bay Prison in particular is home to inmates, as it is the highest-security prison that has never been hauled, and because it is the prison for the most dangerous felons.
Chris stood up and left, while Yang Yi turned his gaze to the other prisoners.
Here, no one is good, no one can be ignored, maybe a prisoner who looks ordinary, looks like a cautious person on weekdays, but who knows what terrible crimes he has done outside.
Danny said that he lacked a sense of urgency, and the environment in which he lived since he was a child was too comfortable, so it was necessary to find him a really suitable environment to transform him, and now, Yang Yi finally understood what the urgency of having to guard against being stabbed to death was like all the time.
Yang Yi has always been very nervous, since he entered the prison, his mood has never relaxed, he was forced to completely shift from thinking about trivial things such as what to eat every day, to how to survive, and how to deal with every enemy that appears, in this case, he can't do it even if he wants to relax.
Now, everyone thinks that Yang Yi is dead, and it can be seen from the odds of gambling that a box of cigarettes can only pay one cigarette, what is the difference between this and no odds.
Seeing that Buddy was still registering bets, Yang Yi suddenly felt a little irritable, he took the initiative to challenge the boxing champion, but he didn't do it to die.
At this moment, Yang Yi found that the crowd around Buddy was arguing, but they didn't want to fight, they just started arguing.
Buddy apparently compromised, and then the crowd around him let out a cheer, and then the scene of just shouting around Buddy but no one betting quickly changed, and Buddy finally began to quickly record it in his notebook with a pen.
Yang Yi found it very interesting, looking at the faces of the prisoners in the prison and looking at this unique ecosystem, he found it very interesting.
Buddy was busy for a while, and then he suddenly separated the crowd and walked towards Yang Yi.
Buddy sat directly next to Yang Yi and said, "Dude, is there anything you want to say?" ”
Yang Yi smiled and said: "There is nothing to say, oh, help me bet, my money can buy about four boxes of cigarettes, and I will press four boxes of cigarettes on myself." ”
Buddy immediately took a pencil and began to write in the small notebook, and muttered in his mouth: "3387 bet on four boxes to win by yourself, the odds are ten to one, okay, write it down." ”
Yang Yi smiled: "Isn't it, isn't it twenty for one?" ”
Buddy shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The odds have been adjusted, otherwise there is no way to bet, everyone bets on the boxing king to win, but no one is willing to buy the odds of a box of one loss, it makes no sense, so I had to adjust it significantly, the odds of the boxing king are 0.5 to one, that is, if you win two boxes of Asia, you can get a box of cigarettes, and if you win, one box becomes ten boxes." ”
Yang Yi frowned and said, "That's not right, right?" If everybody bets two boxes on the boxing champion, bet one box on me. Then if I win, they can earn seven boxes of cigarettes, and if the boxing champion wins, they can get back three boxes of cigarettes, which may not be earned but will never be lost. ”
Buddy smiled: "Yes, that's it, but what can I do, no one bets at all without this odds, and you have to believe in people's confidence in the boxing champion, they think that two boxes into three boxes is also good, why should you turn a box of steady profit into no profit and no loss?" Dude, you have to understand the psychology of gamblers, they want to win rather than not lose. ”
Yang Yi immediately said: "It makes sense, it makes sense!" So how many people bet on me to win? ”
Buddy smiled: "There are still people who bet on you to win, because the temptation of one to lose ten is great, and there are indeed people who bet on both ends, just like you said, if you win, they will win a lot of money, and they will not lose if you lose, however, the vast majority of people are still full of boxing champions." ”
After saying it with a grin, Buddy lowered his voice and said, "Man, if you win, I can make a profit, and if you lose, I won't lose but I won't make anything, so I'm very mentally anxious to support you to win." ”
Yang Yi smiled: "If you want to make a fortune from me, you have to do something, but the mental support is not enough." ”
Buddy said helplessly: "I really want to be able to manipulate the gambling game, but I don't have that strength, man, this is a cage fight, go in two, only one can come out, I can only see the result and can't even shout and cheer for you, so I can't help you." ”
Yang Yi whispered: "Then where will the cage fight be carried out, it won't be in the prison cell, right?" ”
"It's in the cell, two inmates who live together have a fight and one dies, this kind of thing is very common, so where can you be if you are not in the cell, do you think it will be here with a group of people around to watch you fight the boxing champion? Stop dreaming, as much as we all want to see, we can't see it. ”
Yang Yi thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Tell me, we will fight in that cell?" ”
"This is not necessarily, if there is a vacant cell, just transfer you all, if there is no vacant cell, then adjust it, it's easy."
"Will we be searched before we are sent to the cage bucket's cell?"
"Search? No, how can you kill without a weapon? Not everyone has the strength to kill someone else with their fists, so cage fighting means that weapons are bound to appear, uh, most of the time, but the boxing king probably doesn't use a knife, do you think he needs it? Of course he doesn't need to, he can stun you with just one punch and then slowly strangle you. ”
Yang Yi sank his face and said with a wry smile: "Man, can't you speak a little tactfully?" Looks like you think I'm dead. ”
Buddy nodded and said, "Yes, we all think you're dead, although you're fine in the confinement room for a week, but man, even if you're crazy, you don't have the muscles and fists of a boxing champion, it's not hard, a crazy person can't beat a boxer in a cage fight." ”
Yang Yi exhaled and said, "You can help me, do you want me to win?" Then you're going to have to help me. ”
Buddy shook his head and said, "No, I can't help you, and I can't help you, otherwise my reputation will be over." ”
Yang Yi smiled: "After listening to me, you only need to do one thing, I heard that the bed in the cell is different?" My current cell has two beds, and some of the cells have bunk beds, isn't that the case? ”
Buddy frowned, "That's right, but what's the use of that?" ”
Yang Yi said in a low voice: "Let your people help me find a cell with bunk beds, and also, when sending us to the cell, let me go first instead of letting the boxing champion go first, I just ask for this, and you can do it, if you want to be the biggest winner, then you have to help me." ”
Buddy hesitated, then he stood up and said, "Give me your bet first, others can hand it over after the game is over, but you can't." ”
