49. Won the first battle
The most popular "red light district" in Rome, the street of Bolan Street, is a street called Gold and Silver Street, and when you hear this name, you feel that there is a momentum of "wealth and nobility", and on both sides of Gold and Silver Street is a bank connected to each other, and at a glance, it really connects this place with Wall Street in New York City many years later.
The largest shop on the gold and silver street is the "Shengdeying" located at No. 8, and "Shengdeying" is not a bank, but the only gambling house sandwiched between the banks, and this gambling house is also the largest, most luxuriously decorated, most complete gambling equipment, and the most gamblers in Rome "five-star" casino.
The opening of the gambling house in the "financial district" where every inch of land is valuable, it can be seen that the "good intentions" of the gambling house owner, in order to let the gamblers who have lost red eyes can go to the money bank to take out the gambling book and continue to bet in the first time.
And Sheng Deying and Sheng Dena on the street are the real "yellow gambling family", and their bosses are the same person, that is, Xidula.
As the preliminary round of the "Rome Cup" is about to start, Shengdeying's passenger flow is really a record high, and even the door is almost squeezed by gamblers.
The already overcrowded lobby was bustling with gamblers with money bags in their hands in front of a large blackboard.
On the big blackboard is the names of the 51 teams participating in the competition (50 provincial teams + free teams), as well as information related to the participation rate, competition status, etc.
People are not gods, they only know the past, and it is impossible to predict the future, so most gamblers will judge the probability of winning in the future based on the team's past performance, and use this as a reference for betting.
Therefore, this year's "big favorite" team is naturally the top three teams of the last session, Italy, Bertica and Bill, and it is precisely because they are "big favorites" that the accompaniment rate of these three teams is very low, only ten to one, five to one and three to one.
Because the Liberty team is a new team composed of slaves, because it is not favored by gamblers, and Sidula deliberately discredits the Liberty team, the Liberty team is naturally at the bottom of the blackboard, and the opposite of the ranking is the abnormally high odds, reaching an unprecedented record of one thousand to one.
Anyone with a little gambling knowledge should know that the owner of the gambling house is not a philanthropist, let alone a fool, and will not give money in vain, so the higher the odds, the greater the possibility of throwing money into the water.
It is precisely because gamblers have such psychological hints that the Liberty Team is almost unpopular and has become an "unpopular stock" with "no price".
As the "four consecutive championships" of the Italian team's situation and the free team can really be described as "ice and fire", although the companion rate is only a pitiful ten to one, but it is still "active trading", "very hot", and has become the first choice of "stable" gamblers.
In the minds of the vast majority of fans and gamblers, there is no doubt and certainty that the Italian team will win the championship again, just as it is inevitable that fans and gamblers will succeed in the qualifiers of any "World Cup" after many years.
***
After 81 days of hard training, the Liberty team ushered in their first game, which was to challenge the third place team of the previous edition, the Bill and Runner-up team.
In addition to the passionate fans who care about the teams they support, there are other people who care about the game even more than the fans, and these people are gamblers.
As the best gambling house in Rome, Shengdeying's information transmission system can be said to be quite developed, even if the game is played in an arena thousands of miles away, it can be transmitted to the gambling house in the first time in the form of "800 miles of urgency".
With the arrival of the "race report" one after another, the situation of each team on the big blackboard of Shengdeying is also updated at any time.
As the game continues to be updated, the expressions of the gamblers are constantly changing, some are ecstatic, and some are extremely sad.
When the messenger turned over and dismounted and passed the latest "race report" to Sheng Deying, all the gamblers present were dumbfounded and stunned, and the Liberty team won 8-0 in the match with Bill and Ya.
It is unbelievable that the third-place team of the last edition was like a "paper tiger" so vulnerable that it would be eliminated by a team composed of slaves in the preliminary round, and it still ended in a miserable defeat.
The gamblers who gambled on Bill and the Asian team all cried bitterly, screaming heartbreakingly, and even worse, because they couldn't accept the reality, they suddenly became schizophrenic and went crazy.

Sidula hugged left and right in the "Gentle Township", and when the clouds and rain were turning, a rapid knock on the door interrupted his Yaxing.
Sidura knew that it must be Gaulje outside the door, and the knock on the door was so urgent, presumably something must have happened, so she informed the two beautiful women around her to leave through the side door with her clothes in her arms, and said to the door: "Come in!" ”
The door opened, and Gaulje hurried in, panting and saying, "No, it's not good." ”
Sildura said calmly while putting on her clothes: "Why are you panicking, what is going on?" ”
"Ball, ball..."
Sidullah hurriedly said, "'Ball game'?" Then immediately changed his face and continued: "We lost to Macedonia? ”
"No, no, Macedonia lost 3-1 to us."
Sildura frowned.
"Bill Gea, lose!" Gauljah replied.
"'Biljia'?" Sidulla thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Didn't Sheng Deying accept a lot of gamblers to bet on Bill and Ya's winning list?" This time, Bill and Ya were kicked out in the preliminary round, didn't we make a lot of money. ”
"Do you know who kicked out Bilgia?"
Sidula thought for a moment and said, "Who is it?" ”
Gauljah looked at Sidula and did not answer.
Sidulla thought for a moment and said, "Don't you tell me it's Li Xiang's 'slave team'?" ”
Gauljah nodded.
Sidullah was very angry, and with a fierce force, his shirt was torn, and he said angrily: "How can there be such a thing, a bunch of slaves who have never played football can win?" ”
Gao Lujie said: "It seems that Li Xiang really has some ability. ”
Hildura said angrily: "I just don't believe that Li Xiang's stinky boy can really be so 'god'." ”
"It's just that from the current point of view, the victory of the free team is beneficial to our gambling house, and there is no harm to the income of our gambling house, I am afraid that this free team is a 'dark horse', a continuous winning streak, don't forget, the odds of the free team are a thousand to the boss yourself!"
"How many bets have been made so far on the Liberty team's winning list?"
"There's only one order, and it's a 'straight win'."
"'Straight win'?" Sidula couldn't help but frown.
"Yes!"
"If the Liberty team doesn't win the championship in the end, the 'straight win' has to go to the Liberty team to 'bury'."
"But if the Liberty team wins the championship, the 'straight win' can be ten times more profitable!"
Sidula nodded and said, "It's okay, it's just an order." ”
"'Okay'? Do you know? That's 50,000 Sesters! ”
Sidula was taken aback and said, "'Fifty thousand Sesters'? Bet on the 'slave team' to win the championship? I wonder if this person is crazy? ”
"If, I'm just saying if, if Team Liberty wins the championship, 50,000 will become 50 million."
Siddula took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "'Fifty million'?!" ”
"If you add the list that comes in later, it's even more terrifying."
"If the odds of the Liberty team are lowered now, then I will be too faceless, and if the odds are not lowered, I am really worried."
"Behold! I can only take one step at a time, and I hope that this time it's just Li Xiang's stinky boy who has taken 'shit luck'. ”
"I hope so!"
