Chapter 8: Tension
Why bookmakers can make money is a complex question, but to put it simply, bookmakers mostly give an initial odds based on the strength of the team and other comprehensive conditions when they open the market.
Then the bookmaker's odds are not immutable, there are time periods, constantly fluctuating, as the event continues, the odds will change, of course, there are many reasons for the change, such as money movements, such as the performance of the team, etc.
Of course, the most important thing in this is the flow of funds, which is the key factor in adjusting the odds in the middle of each bookmaker, grasp this thing, basically the bookmaker is invincible, and there is almost no time to lose money!
If you really lose money, it can only mean that the company's ability is ridiculously poor!
Now that the Brazilian and French teams have successfully qualified, the odds are still falling, Hugo is speechless when he sees the situation, he is really unwilling to invest money in the Bo championship, this is not interesting, only to earn three times, 5 times has a hairy meaning?!
There is no doubt that he has his sights set on the score odds for the final.
So after he came to London, after understanding the odds, he never made a move, and Victor was impatient.
"Hey, you're the emperor and the eunuch is not in a hurry!" Hugo said disdainfully.
"What do you mean?!" Victor understands this sentence in Chinese, but the literal meaning is very esoteric and I can't understand it!
During this time in London, as long as the two brothers were together, Hugo would definitely speak to Victor in Chinese, because he wanted to die if he didn't say it for too long!
Victor didn't care, thinking that Hugo just wanted to show Chinese, anyway, he could understand it, it didn't matter!
"Emperor, you know! There is also a kind of person in the emperor who was cut off and sent to the palace to wait for the emperor to eat, drink and Lazar, this kind of person is called a eunuch! I am the emperor now, and you are the eunuch waiting for me!" I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious?! Less nonsense! Watch the ball, watch the ball! Hugo took a sip of his beer and set his eyes on the TV!
Research and research, now Hugo has begun to pay attention to football, and has begun to watch football, with Victor by his side, Hugo can finally see it!
Victor hates it so much, you can be arrogant, this time the fuck has lost all your pants, see how you go back and face grandpa!
But think about it, since grandpa has taken out this money, it is estimated that he will lose all his money and go back, and it is estimated that it will not be much!
"Don't worry, if I don't make a move, I will definitely hit it! Even if you lose it all, hehe, it won't be ten years! Lao Tzu must turn over! Richer than it is now! Don't forget that I haven't touched a cent of my private money! Hugo said with a grin as he watched the ball.
In fact, he is still a little nervous in his heart, he is afraid that this world will be different from before!
However, he learned about some major international events, as if this world was still the same world as before, and it had not changed!
And as the day approached, the two teams in the final also came out, and sure enough, it was the fucking French team and the Brazilian team, and Hugo felt a little relieved!
No matter what, you have to gamble!
The two teams reached the final, and the odds of winning the championship were even lower, Brazil's odds before the final were even lower to an outrageous 1.2 to 1.2, and France was only 1:3.
There are many tricks of the bookmaker, not only the winning and losing, but also the score, the score of the second half and so on.
Hugo didn't say anything about the choice, so he rushed to 3:0!
In fact, the odds of 3+ are very high, especially betting on France to beat Brazil 3:0, and the odds reach 11 to 1.
"Dude, do you really want to do this?!" Victor said with a bitter face, Hugo's choice is too amazing, before the final, the Brazilian team was very optimistic, very optimistic, England's media are one-sided optimistic about Brazil, some mainstream media in Europe see it this way, and Hugo actually chose France's counterattack, and three goals, Victor has to say that Hugo is really crazy!
"Vote, just vote!" Hugo said.
Vote is not in a company, in fact, Hugo They also see that everyone's odds are not much different, for the sake of safety, it is better to vote in several companies!
After a busy day, more than two million pounds were all scattered in this way, in exchange for a bunch of betting slips!
Hugo's palms were sweaty, hiding in the room, it wasn't hot, but his forehead was already sweating.
Victor was more nervous than him, "Why?!" Why?! Why don't you fucking score yet! β
At this moment, the match between France and Brazil has only been played for 5 minutes!
Far away in Sicily, at the home of Trapani Hugo and Victor, grandfather Pasilio was also hiding in his room listening to the radio, and he had heard from Victor's phone that his genius grandson had really taken more than 2 million pounds to gamble, betting on the French team to beat Brazil 3:0!
Pasilio wants his grandson to win but he doesn't want his grandson to win, he wants his grandson to win, he is afraid that his grandson will not be able to withstand such a heavy blow, it is more than 2 million pounds!
He doesn't want his grandson to win, because gambling is more terrible than mixing with the underworld, and those who bet will definitely be miserable, but those who are involved in the underworld will not necessarily be miserable! After winning this time, he was afraid that his grandson would have a bigger appetite and that sooner or later he would finish playing with himself!
"Ricardo, will my son win?!" Leda sat in front of the TV and grabbed her husband's arm, the family was not only concerned about this ball game, but also the family of the two Ricardo brothers sitting in front of the TV.
"You deserve to lose!" Ricardo scolded hatefully, "This bastard! Did he break his head? When I woke up like this, I sneaked out and ran out! If I don't beat him up, I'm not his father! β
But his eyes are looking at the TV screen without blinking, which has exposed that he actually doesn't want his son to lose!
"Leda, don't worry! Gigi has Victor by his side, nothing will happen! Ahem! After saying that, Hugo's uncle Giovanni was embarrassed to cover up his words with a cough, and Victor, who almost killed his nephew a few weeks ago!
"Ah, the goal! Zinedine Zidane! Zinedine Zidane! That Zidane who plays for Juventus! Alda suddenly stood up and cheered.
At this moment, in the 27th minute, Djokaeff took a corner kick, and Zidane, who plays for Juventus, broke through Tafarel's ten fingers with a header and won the first place for the French team!
βyesοΌβ Hugo waved his fist excitedly!
Finally a fucking goal, and to be honest he doesn't know when it's going to score! Naturally, there is apprehension in his heart, and now that he sees the goal, he seems to have vented a lot!
Victor also jumped up and hugged Hugo, at this moment they are all superfans of the French team, eager for goals to follow, hurry up to score 3 goals, and then everyone wastes the rest of the time peacefully!
In the first half of stoppage time, it was Djokaeff and Zidane, a corner kick and a header, and the French team once again relied on Zidane's header to break through the door of the Brazilian team for the second time, and led the Brazilian team with a score of 2:0 in the first half!
At this time, Victor was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a result, could it be that the elder brother has the ability to predict the future, this rhythm is really developing in the direction of 3:0!
"It's... Thisβ" Victor stammered, pointing to the TV screen.
"What is this?! I said I would win! Hugo's face was full of confidence, but his heart was up and down even now that it was 2:0, and think about it, that's more than 2 million pounds.
He still can't believe that his cheap "grandfather" really handed over the money to him, he has no idea that what Pasilio said in the room is not true, joking that the inheritance is only divided into more than 2 million pounds, which is impossible! Anyway, the Colleni family also has a recorded history of more than 200 years, and the family wealth will not be less, of course, it will not be really much, but at least more than 2 million will definitely not hurt the muscles and bones!
"Alas, I can only say that grandpa is old and confused! Pamper yourself like this! Hugo made this conclusion in his mind.
Hugo's heart is full of thoughts, why is Victor not, even if he is now 2:0 he already believes that his brother will win, but he is still inevitably nervous.
As nervous as they were, as well as his family in Trapani, Pasilio muttered to himself: "How would he know the result of this match?!" β
"How would he know the result of this match!" Uncle Giovanni was full of shock, the question was asked in vain, and the people around him wanted to know why!
The wait for the half-time break was long, but it was always over, and after the start of the second half, the two teams played very well, Hugo and Victor had things in their minds, they were very concerned about the situation on the field, and what they feared most was the Brazilian team to score.
"Aliens! Alien! God forbid, let him become an earthling! Victor's mouth was full of words.
Hugo's heart is actually thinking, God, Allah, Buddha, you all bless me, nothing has changed in this world, don't change this matter!
The time has come to more than 80 minutes, and the Brazilian team has not scored a goal, but the most important thing is that the French team has not been able to make another breakthrough, and Victor has grabbed a lot of his hair and cursed in his mouth.
"Dugarry eating!"
"Zidane who eats! Why not shoot?! β
"Tafarel who walked shit luck!"
"Oh! Oh my! Damn Desailly! Why the red card?! β
β¦β¦
As the game was coming to an end, Victor's scolding was not only loud, but also widespread, the players of the two teams were scolded by him all over again, Hugo didn't say anything, his hands were still clenched tightly, wouldn't it, God, you play with me like this?! Anyway, this is the first time I've participated in gambling, so you can give me a little face!
Please! Please!
Hugo's family is now in a state of despair, this is miserable, Hugo wasted more than 2 million pounds in vain, I don't know if Victor can take care of Hugo, don't let Hugo commit suicide!
"I'm going to London!" Ricardo stood up and said.
Why did he go, everyone knows especially Giovanni, they all know what gamblers will think if they lose such a huge sum of money in betting, and Hugo, who has never been in the world, may be difficult to withstand such a blow!
Ricardo grabbed him and just wanted to say I'm going with you!
Alda jumped up from the ground, clapped her palms and shouted, "Score!" Scored! Scored! β¦β¦ France scored! β
