Chapter Eighty-Six: Betting on Horses
"Yes, it's horse betting, now we are in front of Hong Kong's largest horse betting mall, it's not horse betting time, but I don't know why the staff can't see it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"My sister agreed with my answer.
I have never seen such a large venue, I did not expect that there would be such a large area in Hong Kong's betting horse market, and what will this lively scene look like?
I asked my sister, "Why does Hong Kong like horse betting so much?" What kind of sport is betting on horses? ”
My sister then told me about some things about horse gambling in Hong Kong.
According to her, betting on horses in Hong Kong has a history of more than 100 years, and was introduced by the British in 1841, but it is only a pure horse race, not as a tool for gambling. Betting on horses began at the end of the 19th century, initially between jockeys and jockeys or between owners and owners, limited to a bottle of champagne or a dinner. After years of evolution, it has now become a fashionable way of leisure and social life for Hong Kong people. The Club has also become an important pillar of Hong Kong's economy and has provided countless job opportunities for Hong Kong people.
There are two racetracks in Hong Kong: Causeway Bay and Sha Tin, which run on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Some people will even say that if you don't go to Hong Kong to gamble on horses, wouldn't you be a person in vain? Many bettors rushed to get all the work done on Wednesday and headed straight to Happy Valley in Causeway Bay. Many people are not members of the Jockey Club and are the so-called poor, so the VIP room is out of play, so they have to spend HK$110 to go to the entire 4th floor stands, which has a good view, convenient betting, and a buffet by the way.
In fact, the environment in the stands feels similar to that of the stock exchange, but it is more comfortable, orderly and professional. Regardless of whether the British Empire or Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong, from hotels and shopping malls to mahjong parlors, racecourses or government-licensed entertainment venues, they are basically a routine, so Hong Kong people are inconvenient to go to other places. The hall is full of screens showing the status of the horse race in real time, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people who study the horse scripture and tourists who are watching around.
Although betting on horses is an entertainment project, but this rule can not be less, betting on horse rules requirements, 12 horses per game, each bet 10 ~ 50,000 range, the main way to buy is a win: that is, the horse bought in the first run to have a payout. Position: That is, the bought horse runs into the top three and there is a payout. A lot of people like this, many people buy three games and win two, which shows that the probability is high, but the odds are very low. Winning streak: The first and second horses at the same time will pay out, and the odds are very high, ranging from dozens of times to hundreds of times. Tricast: In an event, the top three horses are selected in order, and the super jackpot + small probability event is selected. Of course, there are many more complicated ways to buy, but this basic way to buy is enough for beginners to learn for a long time.
Senior sister smiled and said, "Why Liangzi, are you good for this?" ”
I quickly shook my head and said in my heart, even playing poker, my family won't let me, let alone this betting horse. However, I looked at the emptiness around me and asked Senior Sister, how could the outlet of this secret passage be here? Could it be that this place was also prepared in advance?
"Alas, it's a long story, after I ran out of Laoshan back then, I was going to go back to my master and give him this "Secret Guide to Ghosts", but there were too many people who wanted to grab the book halfway, and I couldn't help it, so I didn't go north, but went south on the contrary, and ran all the way down."
