Chapter 201: Triathlon Day (1)
Sunday, August 25, 2013.
Football is undoubtedly the hottest sport in England right now, with the Premier League season kicking off with Manchester United taking on Chelsea at Old Trafford and the Gunners travelling to Anfield to take on the Reds. This weekend, all of England will be watching these two Premier League highlights.
The UK, Europe, and the world. Of course, the color giant William Hill will not miss this round of the Premier League, Manchester United vs Chelsea, Liverpool vs Arsenal, these two games they have opened the home team to win the low water handicap, even the draw compared to the past also opened a low water initial handicap, it seems that William Hill is optimistic that Manchester United and Liverpool can get all three points at home.
The British are as good gamblers as the Chinese, and they can be tied for the top spot in the world.
The Chinese gambling method is actually more like a gathering between friends, playing mahjong, fighting landlords, frying golden flowers, rubbing together to have a supper, and then a full treatment, winning money to pay. The big guys get together to have a good time, a lively picture, and a small gamble, which is also a kind of social entertainment.
The British gambling rules focus on probability calculation, and football is the most common way to play in the UK, in addition, basketball, tennis, F1, snooker, horse racing, greyhound racing, DOTA, ...... As long as you can name the sport, you can find the corresponding betting market at William Hill betting outlets or websites.
Not only can you guess the outcome of sports matches, but you can also guess your own longevity in the various strange markets offered by William Hill. At the age of 27, you can make a bet that you will live to at least 72 years old, and if you haven't hung up at the age of 72, you may make a windfall, and this generous pension will make your old age full of family fun. Don't worry that William Hill will repay the debt, what they do is credibility and reputation.
Last year, Rooney's wife became pregnant again, and William Hill offered the gender of Rooney's second child, 1.95 to 1 for boys and 2.26 for 1 for girls, and they were optimistic that Rooney's family could add another son. On May 21 of this year, Mrs. Lu gave birth, and she really gave birth to a big fat boy, that is, Rooney's youngest son, named Clay Rooney. (1 year later, in the World Cup in Brazil, William Hill spoofed Suarez to bite again, and as a result, Suya really gnawed the Italian defender Chiellini...... )
William Hill even opened the Yangshou handicap and the freshman BB gender handicap, so it is not surprising that they opened a triathlon handicap.
In the upcoming Sheffield Triathlon International Points Race, William Hill's championship handicap for the men's division is:
Gibson, England, odds to win the championship are 2.98 to 1;
De Bloom, Netherlands, 3.76 to 1;
Petrov, Bulgaria, 4.21 to 1;
Jefferson, USA, 5.02 to 1;
Karman, Germany, 5.86 to 1;
……
Sixteen of the top 20 odds to win the tournament are European and American players, as well as two Australians, one New Zealand and one Argentinian.
The top Asian player is Kazakh Savikolinov, who is 29.88 to 1 and is ranked 29th. He was actually a white man with obvious Slavic signs.
DU (space) KE, the 303-numbered wild card player from China in the men's category, was not offered any odds by William Hill.
If you remove the spaces and write DU and KE together, it is DUKE - Duke.
This DU (space) KE is Du Ke, the Chinese pinyin name on his passport is written like this, there is a space between Du and Ke, and the English name he signed up for the competition is also this DU (space) KE.
Maybe even William Hill didn't expect that the Chinese duke, who is a leader in the swimming world, would actually participate in the international triathlon as a wild card?
All in all, there is no blog. The lottery company offered Duke odds to win the championship.
The main reason is that there are too many athletes participating in triathlon, Duke's number is No. 303 in the men's group, and the last player in the men's group is No. 418, which means that 418 men's players have signed up for this Sheffield race.
Wide. Caiye has a Bo. The trading rules of the color industry, the handicap odds to 1000 is rare, and then the odds are higher, the risk is too great, and the dealer has no money.
The dealer is not too fond of the frequent occurrence of unpopular results, the steady dealer is of course keen to operate the popular handicap, no matter what the result is, the dealer can make steady money on the plate, and the long stream can make this line for a long time, and the long time will be long.
Open a winning handicap for a wild card player, the odds are not legal, so simply don't open the market for a wild card player, how you like to toss and how to toss.
In the eyes of the bookmaker, the odds of winning the championship for these wild card players like Du Ke are not even worth 1000 to 1.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Duke changed into a triathlon suit, put on a swimming cap and swimming goggles, entered the race at the organizing committee, and pasted the waterproof, fireproof and anti-theft high-tech 303 number plate on his left chest, and then walked to the starting area on the shore of Thomson Lake to prepare for the race.
The starting area for open water swimming is a large platform of 50 meters by 20 meters, and 418 ironmen from all over the world are gathered on the starting platform, waiting for the referee's departure order to sound.
Duke was unconspicuous in the middle of a crowd of foreigners, he wore a swimming cap and goggles, and no one could see his true face.
Most of the players participating in the competition are mainly whites from Europe, North America, Oceania, Australia and New Zealand, and there are also some white Europeans from South America. In fact, we basically don't see black athletes in swimming and cycling races, but there are a lot of black athletes in sprinting and long-distance running.
Duke squeezed and squeezed, he wanted to squeeze to the edge of the starting platform so that he could jump first.
I squeezed for a long time, squeezed out a sweat, damn, I can't squeeze in front!
Duke patted one of the players in front of him on the shoulder and said in English, "Hey, man, please borrow it." ”
The old man in front glanced back at Du Ke, and he didn't bird Du Ke: "I let you, who let me?" Squeeze it yourself, I still want to squeeze to the front. ”
As soon as Du Ke heard this guy's English accent, he knew that he was Japanese, and Du Ke said: "Duke, they are all Asian fellows, and they have to take care of each other when they go out, so let's squeeze side by side, you first move some space for me and let me take a few steps forward." As he spoke, he pushed forward.
Du Ke squeezed like this, and the Japanese player was anxious, and he also squeezed forward with all his strength.
The two Asian players tossed like this, like a domino effect, and the players from all over them began to squeeze forward, who wouldn't want to start a little ahead?
Now it's lively, hundreds of people are starting to push me, I push you, scrambling to the edge of the departure area, no different from squeezing the subway in the morning rush hour.
In the UK, you pay attention to gentlemanly manners, but now that the game is about to start, the white people in the West don't care so much, and the big guys have a group. P, shouting in various Chinese:
"Where is the civility and politeness? Do you understand the etiquette of the game? First come, first served! Don't squeeze Lao Tzu so badly, okay! ”
"I'm rubbing, you're stepping on my feet!"
"Yankees, stay away from me, you Americans are the rudest!"
"Europe is not where you should be, go home and play your American football, Uncle Sam!"
"Fuck your sister's big British nose, there's a kind of you don't want to come to the United States from now on! Don't you have Harry Potter, don't you have Hogwarts? Then you fly, you fly? ”
"! Don't forget who are your Yankee ancestors? ”
"Lao Tzu's ancestors are Irish, it's your bird business!"
"Ahh Depend on! Don't push me, if you push again, you'll fall into the lake......"
Pia!
A German player was forced into the lake by a strong man behind him, and the situation was chaotic.
The innocent German was pushed into the lake by someone else, and he climbed ashore with a curse, very unhappy, and the referee showed him a yellow card and punished him with +15 seconds.
The referee's reason for showing a yellow card is: you grabbed the jump.
"it...... Jmd-hat-Dachschaden! "The German player who accidentally fell into the water scolded in German, and Nima was penalized for +15 seconds before the start of the game, which is really cruel!
The situation at the scene is too chaotic, and if it continues like this for another minute or two, it may trigger a vicious incident of group brawl.
At the time of the great chaos in the world, the two initiators, Du Ke and Japan's Taguchi-kun, took advantage of the flexibility and strategic sense of the Asians to penetrate the front of the starting area and seize the most advantageous starting position.
"Tosang, I'm sorry, please forgive me, please forgive me for my rude attitude just now!" Taguchi-kun said apologetically to Du Ke, and in the departure area where there was not much space, he also bowed slightly.
Du Ke smiled faintly: "Taguchi-kun, please don't blame yourself too much, we Chinese often say, don't fight and don't know each other, go out in Europe, we Asian brothers need to unite and unite with the outside world." Don't think that the European ghosts will tell us anything about gentlemanly manners, look at the way they are now, how can they be a bit gentlemanly? So we have to fish in troubled waters, and we can't lose at the starting line. ”
"You drop, cunning cunning drip." Taguchi-kun gave a thumbs up to Duke.
At this time, the referee saw the situation of the big brawl on the scene, and knew that the situation was about to get out of control, he reacted quite quickly, and immediately raised his hand and fired a gun, bang! The start order sounds, and the race begins!
Duke, who had already cut to the swimming page, immediately jumped from a favorable starting position after hearing the gun, and he jumped thousands of miles into the lake, swam forward with all his might, and entered the 1.5-kilometer stage of swimming in open water.
"Day! Jumping so far? At this time, Taguchi-kun admired Du Ke even more, and he immediately jumped into the lake and swam forward, chasing Du Ke closely.
Piu!
Bia!
Thump!
The other contestants who reacted also stopped tearing and jumped, and they jumped into the lake one after another, and the scene was quite spectacular, just like hundreds of human meat dumplings.
After occupying the favorable starting terrain, driving thousands of miles and reacting very quickly, Duke entered the lake, and led the tour in advance.
In open water swimming with no restrictions on swimming style, Duke of course used the fastest freestyle to complete the swimming competition, and he immediately turned on the big water wheel + 8 leg hits, accelerated up, and advanced rapidly!
The CD time of the big water wheel is 15 minutes, so Duke can drive the big water wheel as soon as he enters the water, and after 15 minutes, he can drive the big water wheel again for the final sprint.
Duke maximizes his use of stunts and can be a little faster in the 1.5-kilometer swimming competition.
Compared to racing in the pool, Duke was more wild in the lake, and he sparked the waves with acceleration stunts and scared away all the fish nearby......
The water quality of Thomson Lake is very good, the blue waves are clear, and there are some small fish and shrimp in the lake, which is normal.
The fish looked at it and rubbed it, this human was swimming faster than us, and it hurt their self-esteem, so they all swam away, away from these pesky human invaders.
By this time, Duke had swam the first side of the buoy line triangle in the lake, which was 250 meters, and he threw off the second place by almost 50 meters, and the lead was quite obvious.
By the time Doucle swam the first lap of 750 meters around the giant triangular buoy line, he was already half a side length ahead of second place, or 125 meters.
By the time Duke swam to 1,350 meters, he had already caught up with the last runner and overtaken him, and he was a full lap ahead of the others by 750 meters...... (To be continued.) )
