The prize pool is fixed, and there are also several tiers. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the http://biquge.info of Wรจn Aishang Novel Network.)

For example, a gambler who buys three first-place horses in a row will split the fixed prize of the special prize in a fixed prize pool. Whoever buys first place in one of the races is the other prize money, and so on.
In fact, Liu Yi also borrowed some methods from many gambling industries in later generations to set bonuses. In order to stimulate gamblers to bet, Liu Yi set the total prize at an amount worth 200,000 silver taels. The prize money for winning the first place in the three games alone is an amount worth 100,000 silver taels, and if someone buys it, it will really be rich overnight.
The value of 100,000 taels of silver, even the eunuch Zhang Rang and others, who are rich in the court, will be moved. In addition, for fixed prize bets, the bet amount of each bet is fixed, and you can bet more than one bet. However, the bets are set relatively high, and each bet is worth ten taels of silver.
Liu Yi's price is to dispel the idea that ordinary poor civilians also come to participate in betting on horses, ten taels, for ordinary people, that is a considerable amount of money, enough for their family to eat for a year. Therefore, ordinary people can't take out this money to bet on horses.
Liu Yi originally planned to be the rich people from Luoyang City, not to catch them all and let those ordinary poor people also participate in gambling. However, this racecourse is a place for a wealthy family to have fun, and it has been a noble plaything from the beginning, and it is not suitable for ordinary ordinary people to play.
In addition, there are 12 horses in each race, and 36 horses in three races.
In fact, Liu Yi set up the prize pool bonus in this way, as well as the way of running horses and betting, in fact, for gamblers, this is a game that can be won.
How so? There are 12 horses in each of the three races, and the winner of the three races will be awarded an equal share of the prize pool. However, gamblers can completely cover every possibility, and the all-inclusive is only 1,728 bets, and the money required is only more than 10,000 taels, and 10,000 taels for more than 10,000 taels is a temptation for those rich people in the city. However, if more than one person wins and the prize pool is divided equally, it will be a loss.
Anyway, Liu Yi is not afraid of being wrapped up by others, because for Liu Yi's racecourse, this is a must-win game. Because it is too easy to carry out a black-box operation, if there is a rich person who is all inclusive, if he is really the only one who wins, then, Liu Yi can let the people in the racecourse issue a few more prize tickets, and then share the prize pool with that person, so that no matter how much that person bets, it is all lost. In addition, Lewy can also explore the running horse, so to speak, which horse Lewi is willing to let run first, which horse can run first. Don't talk about jockeys, Liu Yi can directly convey a piece of Yuanyang True Qi to stimulate the potential of the running horse, so that the running horse can explode in an instant, beyond the ordinary running horse, and when necessary, Liu Yi himself can also appear as a horse runner.
However, Liu Yi knew that those rich people were not stupid people, and he would soon understand some of them. But what about knowing? Liu Yi did not intend to keep this racecourse for a long time, but just used this to loot a sum of money, and in the future, Liu Yi would not allow such a gambling racecourse to be deposited.
In addition to the three official races scheduled by the racecourse. Naturally, Liu Yi will not let the racecourse be idle, and will open some other events, which is not open to all people outside. It's a race where the rich gamble against each other, or a race between the racetrack and the rich.
In Luoyang City, there are hundreds of thousands of people, among whom the rich people like to gamble on both hands, not to mention tens of thousands?
As soon as the news of the opening of the racecourse spread, it attracted the attention of the wealthy people who had nothing to do in the city. Many people want to come and see the new things in this racecourse. What's more, before the racecourse officially opened for business and the horse race began, Liu Yi also deliberately held an opening ceremony that no one in this era had ever heard of. And the so-called opening ceremony is a performance performed by Bian Yu and other song and dance troupes.
This time, it can be regarded as the time when Bian Yu and other ancient songs and dances are officially facing the world, so for a while, it attracted almost everyone's attention. (Full text e-book free download)
On this day, it attracted 20,000 or 30,000 people to watch. However, the racecourse is only so big that it can only accommodate four or five thousand people at most, and many people can only stop and watch in the square outside the stadium, and they are worried that they cannot enter.
Of course, there is a ticket to enter the venue, and the ticket price is not low, and it costs two taels of silver, but it still makes you rush to it. Everyone can accept this ticket, that is, they all know that even if they enter those high-end Qinglou in Luoyang City, they will charge no lower entry fee than this, and after entering the venue, they can see the performance of the first beauty of Luoyang Qinglou, which they usually spend money in Qinglou and may not be able to see, so not everyone wants to compete for a ticket to enter the Qinglou? I heard that there are also rumors in the market that the first red sister of Luoyang this year will also appear on the stage to perform dance skills to help the opening of the racecourse. At the same time, you can see Bian Yu, the first red sister who is now famous in Luoyang, and the former first red sister in Luoyang come to Ying'er, who can sit idly by?
Those who were able to enter the stadium were naturally full of joy, and those who could not enter the stadium did not leave here, because there were still horse races for them to bet on. There are many predestined, and Liu Yi has already asked Jia Xu to recruit a lot of literate and broken ink people, and let them do these things to issue gambling tickets to gamblers.
Each ticket is in duplicate, after the gambler determines how to place the bet, to sign the drawing, to show the official effect, after the event, the gambler can rely on the ticket in their hand, the winner, you can go to the racecourse to claim the prize.
Of course, there are also a large number of people who can enter the venue without tickets, and that is the people who Lewi specially sent people to send out invitation stickers to invite them to come.
Liu Yi did not use his own name, but used the name of Princess Yiyang to send invitations to those people, and almost all the officials in the court received an invitation, including the eunuch Zhang Rang in the palace, Yuan Kui, He Jin, and even Cao Cao received the invitation. There is no reason for Liu Yi to get along with money, no matter who it is, as long as it is rich, Liu Yi doesn't mind if they come to spend money.
However, in this way, it is equivalent to pushing Princess Yiyang to the table, and now, everyone can be sure that Princess Yiyang is the big boss behind the Royal Club. If it were usual, Liu Yi would really not push Princess Yiyang onto the table, because Princess Yiyang represents the interests of the royal family, and she also seeks benefits for the royal family. However, now that the emperor is sick in bed, it is impossible to take care of these things at all, so Liu Yi is not afraid of being known by others that the Royal Club is Princess Yiyang's property. In this way, Leo Yi can also avoid exposing himself.
In the racecourse, Liu Yi also specially transferred all his soldiers and horses in Luoyang to maintain order, and Dian Wei also returned from Wancheng, and he personally led people to guard the safety in the racetrack.
In the middle of the racecourse, a stage has already been erected, and this stage is facing all around, without any background decoration. And around the stage, there are banquet tables, and every banquet table is sitting with a person. These people are naturally high-ranking officials and nobles in the court.
The closest position to the stage can only allow these high-ranking officials and nobles to sit and enjoy the performance of the stage at close range, which is also their privilege, which is the same in ancient and modern times.
The weather on this day is quite good, the sky is beautiful, the sky is covered with a thick layer of white clouds, the sun is completely isolated, and there is no dark feeling of rain, a cool breeze blows, making people feel refreshed.
In addition to the stadium, in the surrounding stands, gamblers also entered the arena one after another, each finding their own seat position.
There are too many people, and the noise is certain, the gamblers in the stands are talking to each other, and the courtiers who have been invited and come in the stadium are also talking to their colleagues who are close to each other.
Gamblers naturally needless to say, these courtiers are also regarded as court officials with status, some of them are actually not so sincerely willing to come to the court, and some people also don't like to gamble. It's just that they can't help but give Princess Yiyang's face, although the Liu family of the Han family is now in decline, but the influence is still there, no matter what, Princess Yiyang sent someone to ask for advice, so naturally she can't help but come.
In a rather large secret room in the racecourse, Princess Liu Yiyang, Princess Yang'an, Princess Changshe, Bian Yu, Lai Ying'er, as well as the women of the family, Zhang Shao and other daughters, are all there.
In addition to them, the beauties of the song and dance troupe who will perform together are also there.
Princess Yiyang is dressed in a gorgeous and noble palace dress, showing her mature and charming figure.
While drawing her eyebrows with the help of Princess Yang'an, she said to Liu Yi with disgust: "It's all you, you have made such a big formation, and you want people to talk on that stage, which makes everyone nervous." โ
"Hehe, baby princess, don't be nervous, you are now the recognized big boss behind the scenes of the Royal Club, and also the big boss of the Royal Racecourse, now, everyone has been invited, and those gamblers have also bought tickets to enter the venue, you don't go out to make a show, don't go out to say a word or two to everyone, it seems that you can't say it, right?" Liu Yi smiled at her with a relaxed smile: "Go, my most beautiful princess, let the world see your peerless charm of upside down beings!" โ
"Go...... It's not people performing on stage, why do they see the charm of others? People just need you to turn them upside down. Princess Yiyang took a sip of Liu Yi, stood up, and left the secret room with a smile.
Princess Yang'an and Princess Changshe sent her out, but after a while they returned. It was Princess Yiyang who wanted to show her face, but it was not the two of them, so they just went over to cheer up Princess Yiyang and calm down. But in fact, Princess Yiyang has long been a woman who has seen the world, how could she really be nervous because she has to face so many people? Not to mention Princess Yiyang, it is Princess Yang'an and Princess Changshe, they are all the kind of women who are born with a typhoon, and they will not be squirming and uneasy because they are under the gaze of many people.
Or, people born in the royal family are born with a noble temperament, a contempt for all beings, and a high-minded trait, so such people will not have stage fright.
It's Bian Yu and Lai Ying'er, but Liu Yi is a little worried about them. Because, this is the first time they have officially faced sentient beings as a singing and dancing artist, and in the future, they may have to spend their whole lives on that stage.
However, Liu Yi's worries are obviously superfluous, because, Bian Yu and Lai Ying'er, what scenes have they not seen in the Qinglou? How can you be nervous because there are so many people this time, and you have to sing and dance in the eyes of so many people?
Liu Yi comforted them separately for a while, and then took Zhang Shao and the other women out of the secret room and went to another box. From the window of the box, you can see everything in the racecourse and the performances on the stage.
The secret room just now is a basement, and there is a secret passage that can lead directly to the stage below, and after a while, Bian Yu and Lai Ying'er will appear through the secret passage under the stage.
Secretly, Jia Xu is in charge of the overall planning, and in the open, there is Wei Cai, a flamboyant and very sociable guy, to deal with it. In addition, Dian Wei led the people to be in charge of safety, and Bian Yu and Lai Ying'er were also ready, so Liu Yi had nothing to do, so he waited for the performance with a few girls.
I saw that several maids in palace costumes, each holding a bouquet of flowers to open the way, slowly entered from an entrance of the racecourse, and then Princess Yiyang, who was surrounded by several maids like a noble lady.
What Princess Yiyang is wearing now is a bright yellow palace tunic tunic dress, which shows her grace step by step.
She walked to the stage very elegantly, and when she passed along the way, she smiled and nodded when she saw those court officials, as if she was the kind of big star appearance in later generations.
Even Huang Wudie, who was watching with Liu Yi, whispered to Liu Yi: "Brother Liu, then, Princess Yiyang is really good-looking when she walks, if people walk in front of so many people, I'm afraid people will be so nervous that they don't dare to leave." โ
"Uh...... You little girl also knows what it means to be nervous? Liu Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that if it was Zhang Shao or Yin Lingshan, it would not be strange that they would be nervous under the gaze of so many people, if this little girl who was not afraid of heaven and earth would also be nervous, Liu Yi really didn't believe it.
At this time, Princess Yiyang had already stepped onto the stage, and then she raised her slender jade hand as Liu Yi said, waved her hand to the spectators in the stands, and waved her hand at multiple angles.
Hehe, in this way, the atmosphere of the scene was ignited all of a sudden, Princess Yiyang's glamorous name, in fact, many people have already heard of it, but although Princess Yiyang runs a green building, she rarely shows up, and many people can see Princess Yiyang for the first time.
A dignified princess walked to the stage to greet everyone, which didn't make the crowd of spectators feel flattered? What's more, Princess Yiyang, who has always had a bad reputation and has the reputation of a lustful princess? Therefore, many people naturally can't help but want to get into trouble.
However, as soon as Princess Yiyang spoke, the scene fell silent.
Princess Yiyang looked near the stage, turned around and saluted the officials sitting behind the banquet, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yiyang is very happy to have you come to the Royal Hippodrome to cheer, thank you very much!" โ
"Today is the first day of the opening of the Royal Racecourse, so Princess Ben thought of holding an opening ceremony, which can also be said to be the opening ceremony. Please come and watch the ceremony and have fun with everyone on the occasion of the opening of the Royal Racecourse. Gambling in a gambling hall is a kind of exciting pleasure, and fighting cocks and dogs is also a kind of fun. Horse race, in fact, is not a particularly new thing, as early as earlier ancient times, there is a story of Tian Ji horse racing, in reality, adults, friends, I believe you have also participated in or seen some horse racing. However, Princess Ben dares to say that you must not have seen this method of betting on horses in our Royal Club, and in the future, there will be some more interesting gambling methods, which will definitely make everyone find more fun in it. โ
After Princess Yiyang finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the audience, stood up straight and said: "I announce that the Royal Racecourse is officially opened, and now, I invite the Royal Song and Dance Troupe, Miss Bian Yu, and Miss Ying'er to come and dance for everyone, so that everyone can relax and relax before betting on the lottery." โ
After Princess Yiyang finished speaking, she walked off the stage and walked towards the real power figures in the court.
Like Yuan Kui, Zhang Rang, He Jin and others, they also came. They are naturally very familiar with Princess Yiyang, although they don't have any contact, but they often meet in and out of the palace, so Princess Yiyang is invited, and they can't come. Especially those eunuchs in the palace, like Zhang Rang and others, in fact, they have always had dealings with Princess Yiyang before, there is no way, the emperor has many times, they are through Guรฒ Zhang Rang and others to convey messages to Princess Yiyang, so it is normal to be able to speak a few words together.
These three real power figures in the court today sat together behind a banquet table not far away, and when they saw Princess Yiyang walking towards them, they also stood up and saluted the princess.
These three people, they also run some casinos in private, but because of the sudden excavation of the Royal Club, their casino casinos basically have nothing to fish. Now, seeing this Princess Yiyang making her business bigger and bigger, especially seeing such a large-scale racecourse, they can't help but feel a little sad.
Zhang Rang said with a red eye: "Princess Yiyang, you are really a business wizard, in the future, you can't make a fortune!" Not to mention anything else, this ticket alone is an income of tens of thousands of silver taels......"
"Gege...... Master Zhang, how can you see this in your eyes? This princess is just a daughter's family, and she can only do that. Princess Yiyang came over just to say hello, and after meeting and greeting them, she asked them to watch with peace of mind, and she was considered to have completed her mission and returned to the racecourse.
At this moment, a crisp piano sound sounded.
