Chapter 751: An Accident Happens
The capital of 32,000, after three rounds, increased by 2.7 times to 86,400 taels.
Lei Shaoyuan earned 16,200 taels, took out 200 taels to invite guests to dinner, and continued to bet the rest.
Mei Ruogu earned the least, only 5,400 taels, because he invested less capital and the time of betting was relatively late, but there will be a chance in the future, as long as he follows Ye Yunyang to bet, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Someone earns, someone loses.
And after comprehensive calculations, it is found that there are far more people who lose money than make money.
Because it is to find the dealer to bet, rather than a few people face to face betting, in addition to the normal winners, the dealer also has to take away a large part, destined to lose a lot of money, the ratio of loss to win is about three to one.
More and more people are discovering this phenomenon, but they do not go to their hearts, but with the mentality of willing to gamble and admit defeat, winning is happy, losing means that they are unlucky, either be careful when betting next time, or simply stop playing, so the safest.
It wasn't until one morning, when a betting outlet in a busy area was raided, that everyone realized it wasn't that simple.
This is a betting point that was only opened before yesterday, the boss was originally in the cloth business, character and reputation are good, the previous bets have won money, and he also likes to gamble, so he decided to change his career to do betting points.
He took off the sign of the fabric shop, removed the container and put it on the counter, and prepared a tea room and free tea for the convenience of customers to place bets.
Because he is very familiar with the neighbors, everyone believes in him, and many people come to bet on the first day of opening, and business is booming.
In addition, in order to start the brand, he increased the odds of the banker's expulsion, so that more people heard the news, and the business was unprecedentedly good, and the surrounding betting shops were compared.
He himself was even more happy to close his mouth, not realizing that he was playing tricks.
Although from the very beginning, the Presbyterian Church made it clear that the purpose of opening gambling was to enliven the atmosphere, revitalize the lifeless economic state, and support private capital to enter the industry, but secretly it was another approach, all betting points were operated by the Presbyterian Church, and the so-called bookmakers were also controlled by them behind the scenes, and the most important odds issue was also their final say.
Of course, in the process of the game, many people have thought about entering the gambling industry, but they are always stillborn for various reasons, and finally fail to get what they want.
The only successful example is the shopkeeper of the cloth shop who is tricky to death.
In just two days, he collected a total of more than 4 million taels of gambling money, and before he could be happy, the store was raided by the security patrol.
You know, there's just over an hour before the game starts.
Hundreds of fierce patrolmen surrounded the store, and more than a dozen people rushed in, and they couldn't help but take away all the bosses, men, and customers, as well as account books, gambling tickets, etc., and someone copied the back vault and loaded all the gambling money and transported it away.
The boss shouted that he was wronged, but the patrol people didn't listen at all, they just grabbed people and copied things.
The gamblers who bet here quit and came forward to inquire about the situation, and the reply was that the store had lost its integrity and that the purpose of its operation was not pure, and in order to ensure that everyone's money was not infringed, the Council of Elders decided to confiscate it.
Not honest?
Hearing such an explanation, everyone was stunned, people have just opened, although they have received a lot of gambling money, but the game has not yet started, and it has not entered the exchange stage, and there is no bad account, why is it not honest?
Everyone asked again, what about the money we put in?
The other party gives an explanation, and when the matter is fully clarified, the money will be returned to the bettor.
Everyone was dumbfounded, what does it mean that after the matter is completely ascertained, it is obviously a prevarication, in case you can't understand it, or you deliberately can't understand it, will you not return?
"I'm just carrying out the orders of the Council of Elders, you better ask them about the specific situation, get out of the way, don't affect our official duties!" said the captain expressionlessly, and then waved his hand, and more than a dozen team members forcibly opened a road, and then walked away.
The news spread quickly throughout the city like wings, and those who had not yet had time to place bets gave up betting ideas, and those who placed bets began to worry about their gambling money.
However, the betting sites immediately responded, stating that they are legitimate, and have already been recognized by the Presbyterian Church through normal channels, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of integrity, so everyone can rest assured that they can bet.
But many people were not reassured and went to ask for a refund.
At the same time, the Council of Elders issued a statement that it will issue legal betting shop licenses by today, and that they will be hung in a prominent position at each betting place, and as long as they bet in a licensed place, the safety of funds will not be an issue.
And the Presbyterian Church also said that except for the one that had just been cleared, the rest of the betting sites were safe.
Although the turmoil subsided, it still had some impact, there were too many refunds, and when the game was about to start, there was still a steady stream of refunds, and every betting place was packed.
The Council of Elders can only announce the postponement of today's game until tomorrow.
Ye Yunyang, who was standing outside the venue, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Yes, there is no drama today, just go back and practice." ”
Lei Shaoyuan said with some resentment: "Really, I actually have to wait until tomorrow!"
The money that could have been earned today has to be changed to tomorrow because of an accident, and of course as a gambler, you will feel uncomfortable, and everyone is worried about long nights and dreams.
Ye Yunyang turned around, and someone happened to come over and make eye contact with him.
"You are Ye Yunyang. The other man spoke, his voice slightly muffled.
Ye Yunyang nodded: "It's me, do you have any advice?"
The corners of the man's mouth rose and he said, "My name is Xu Chengye, I am your opponent in the quarterfinals, according to the original rules, we will be on the field in half an hour and compete in it! Now it seems that I will have to wait until tomorrow to win you, I don't care about waiting a little longer." ”
The first few sentences are quite sincere, but the back is obviously arrogant.
Ye Yunyang looked directly at the other party, Xu Chengye's level was the Fifth Heaven of the Flood Desolation Realm, and the level was not too high, the same as his previous opponent Ji Chenghua.
However, Xu Chengye's record is very eye-catching, in the group stage, he defeated the opponent who was also the fifth heaven level, and the most beautiful was the first seed player who drew the sixth heaven, and qualified with the highest score of nine points and advanced to the top 16.
Judging by his previous performances, reaching the quarterfinals will not be a problem.
When he knew that his opponent was Ye Yunyang, he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, Ye Yunyang's combat power was at most equivalent to the ordinary Flood Desolation Realm Five Heavens, and he felt that he had won.
I thought that I would be able to end the battle soon and enter the next round as the top eight, and the most important thing was to defeat the youngest alternate elder in the history of the God Realm, which must be very revealing.
Unexpectedly, because of an unexpected situation in the betting shop, the game had to be postponed by a day, and he was a little unwilling, so he involuntarily walked over and said some provocative words.
The bookmaker's odds for their game are that Ye Yunyang wins one to four, and Xu Chengye wins one to seven.
After reaching the round of 16, there will be no draws in the next matches, and there is no time limit for the game until the two sides decide the winner.
Ye Yunyang raised his eyebrows and said-for-tat: "Since you are not in a hurry, why are you running here?" On the one hand, you are very eager for victory, and on the other hand, you say that you don't care about waiting a little longer, which is a contradiction, which shows that you are a person who is different from the outside. ”
Xu Chengye's face immediately changed, and he said very politely: "Boy, I'm not afraid that others are afraid of you, it's just an alternate elder, what is there to show off?"
Ye Yunyang smiled: "Did you see me showing off with that eye? It was you who took the initiative to come over and feel uncomfortable, saying some arrogant and boundless words, and it was a natural move for me to refute, but you were said to be arrogant, and in addition to the inconsistencies between what you see, you are still a hypocrite and a face-loving person." ”
What he said fits Xu Chengye's character.
If it were a different occasion, maybe Xu Chengye would regard Ye Yunyang as a confidant, but now it is obviously not good, instead of restraining himself, he was angry and angry, gritted his teeth and said: "Boy, it is obviously you who are arrogant!"
"Who do you call it, didn't the family teach you to be polite before you went out?" Lei Shaoyuan turned around and said angrily: "Ye Yunyang is an alternate elder appointed by the Alliance Elder Council, what is your identity, dare to be so disrespectful to an elder, do you want to die?"
Xu Chengye saw that it was Lei Shaoyuan, and his arrogance suddenly became shorter by half a bit, and explained: "No, Dean Lei, why are you here, the younger generation has offended a lot in words, please ......"
He regretted it very much, he should have observed for a while just now, instead of coming up directly to find fault, and said that Lei Shaoyuan and Ye Yunyang had a very strong relationship, and now it seems to be true.
"Get out!" Lei Shaoyuan interrupted him and said very politely: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a contestant, the dean would definitely kill you here, what is the matter with Xu Jidong, he actually raised such an ignorant junior! If the people of the Xu family are like you, let him stop being the head of the family as soon as possible, it will not be a shame!"
Xu Chengye was scared, although he was scolded for being bloody, he still respectfully hugged his fist at Lei Shaoyuan, and then ran away.
"Dogs fight against people's powerful things, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. "Lei Shaoyuan didn't have a good airway.
Ye Yunyang shrugged: "There are many such people, so don't be angry with him." ”
Lei Shaoyuan nodded, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Boy, I relieved you of the siege, do you have to thank me?"
"Is there one?" Ye Yunyang felt that he could solve it, and it was obviously a trivial matter.
The old man said solemnly, "Isn't it, if I hadn't threatened that kid and said that he would be killed here, he would have gotten out so quickly?"
Ye Yunyang looked at him with a very meaningful gaze and said, "You are just the courage of your tongue, don't be in a hurry to refute, let me ask you, if he continues to be arrogant, will you do anything with him?"
"Of course!" said the old man solemnly, but there was no confidence in his tone.
Ye Yunyang said in a disdainful tone: "Come on, the odds of one to four are willing to destroy it with your own hands?" You do something to Xu Chengye, he is injured and cannot continue to compete, the game will be canceled, and the four times the profit will be lost, will you do such a stupid thing?"
With that, he turned and left.
The old man blinked, looked at his back and said, "This kid is too clever to hide anything from him." ”
