Chapter 237: It's too much of a loser
"As in previous years, at the end of the three rounds of bidding, three finalist tickets will be auctioned, and the highest bidder will be awarded."
As soon as these words were spoken, some of the onlookers sighed, some were excited, and some sighed.
The qualification ticket that can directly enter the finals is not something that ordinary people can grab at all.
In the capital, if it weren't for the rich and noble, no one would dare to think about the qualification coupon.
But for the later auctions, everyone is very interested. The picture of those unlearned and unskilled people fighting for the three chapters of qualification tickets and spending a lot of money is exciting to think about.
After the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd in the audience, and saw the excited light in everyone's eyes, and he was very satisfied.
This year's betting conference can make a lot of money again.
"Don't be anxious, you have one last word to remind you. The handicap of this year's betting conference is the same as in previous years, we are the banker of Wanbao Pavilion, and you can bet at will. No matter whether it is a profit or a loss in the end, we will never be bad at all. ”
"Now, the betting conference has officially begun." With a burst of rhythmic drums, the betting conference finally began.
In the first round, bet on the Bronze Star.
It is said that the number of people who have already paid the registration fee this year is as high as 2,000, and by betting on the Bronze Star, at least two-thirds of the people will be brushed off.
The rules for betting on the Bronze Star are very simple. On the makeshift platform, there is a one-man high wooden tower, with a total of nine floors, and on each floor there are ninety-nine identical wooden boxes, and there are a total of eight hundred and ninety-one small boxes on the nine floors. Of these, only one hundred and ninety-nine have bronze stars.
After paying the registration fee of two taels of silver, you can go to the wooden tower to pick a box at random, and then open it on the spot. If there is a bronze star, five taels of silver will be awarded, and at the same time you will be qualified to enter the next round.
The copper star is about a copper plate that is smaller, similar to the copper plate, and is specially poured by Wanbao Pavilion. A different pattern is designed every year to prevent cheating. Last year it was a crescent-shaped copper sheet, and this year it is a star-shaped copper sheet, so it is called a copper star.
The first round has officially begun, and those who signed up for the bet have begun to line up to bet on the Bronze Star.
However, the children of rich families are decent, and they are neither willing to pay the silver in person to sign up, nor are they willing to be rewarded with five taels of silver after passing the customs.
None of the gentlemen would choose to go out in person in the first round, and they all sent their own minions to fight in place of their masters. The same is true of the literati Qingliu, who have slightly bulging pockets, and they also send their retinues or scholars.
But anyone who has a little money is very direct in his thoughts about this matter.
Whether the championship can be won depends on luck, but if it is brushed down in the first round, it will be very shameful.
To put it bluntly, the first round of this betting conference is a design that can be successfully passed with money.
If you fail to win a bet, you can double the registration and re-bet, and if you fail to win the second remand, you can double it again and continue to bet until it reaches the middle position.
Wuge came back every year in previous years to bet on the conference, but his luck was particularly bad, the year before last he made a full eleven bets, and lost four thousand and ninety-four silver silver tickets before betting on a copper leaf, setting the most unsuccessful record in the capital circle, and no one has surpassed it so far.
You must know that the first round of copper plates in Wanbao Pavilion every year, even if the design is good and the patterns are more complex and exquisite, at most it is worth more than ten or twenty copper plates.
Wuge spent more than 4,000 taels of silver to get a copper plate, and was laughed at by Prince Xian for a whole year.
It was a sensation at the time, and even now, many people still remember it.
