Chapter 25 Handicap
After all, the underground black boxing is a dark industry that cannot be seen, and no matter how much energy the Jimmy Gang has, they dare not put this on the bright side, so the boxing match is held in the underground parking lot located under the volcano bar.
Chen Xiu followed Gus down the stairs he had just come from, until he came to the iron gate underground.
Gus knocked twice on the iron door, and the window above the iron door opened to reveal a pair of eyes, and after seeing the person who was coming, the sound of the deadbolt opening was heard inside.
The next moment the iron door opened, and they walked in.
Behind the iron gate was a black man, who closed it again when they entered.
I walked forward along the passage behind the iron gate, and after turning the corner, I saw an open field, where many people had gathered, a large area of Wuyang, leaving only an open space in the middle.
Chen Xiu was slightly surprised when he saw this scene, there were almost more than 3,000 people at this glance, and with such a large number of spectators, tonight's boxing incident was actually just an ordinary grade.
How big should the scale of the higher-level underground black fist be?
As they walked out of the aisle, a black man approached Gus.
"Hi Gus! And our big star congratulations. The black man came up and punched Gus, and then greeted He Huan, "Is this the fighter you just poached from somewhere else?" Haven't seen it before. ”
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Chen Xiu and looked at it.
"No, no, no, Jack." Gus smiled, "He's a newcomer, bring him over tonight to test the water." ”
"Newcomer? Dude, when did you change your temperament, and you will actually bring new people. Jack was suddenly surprised, and couldn't help but look at Chen Xiu again.
After all, this guy Gus never brings newcomers, he only likes to dig into the corners of others, and this is the first time that he has brought a newcomer boxer.
"No way, I've been a little tight lately." Gus pretended to sigh helplessly, "How many are there tonight?" Is Hank's guy coming? ”
Underground black boxing is not the same as regular boxing, and no one knows how many fights there will be until it actually starts.
It's not uncommon for Chen Xiu to join half an hour before the start of the fight, and sometimes even someone joins in the middle of the fight.
So usually before the actual start of the boxing fight, no one knows how many fights will be in total.
"There are still people who haven't arrived, and I don't know how many fights I can fight tonight, but there must be a lot of fights tonight, and those guys have brought a lot of fighters over."
Jack retracted his gaze and said, "Hank is here early, that guy has brought seven people, even Oleton, you have to be careful." ”
"Oleton?"
Gus couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this name, and glanced at He Huan.
Chen Xiu noticed that the faces of the two were a little solemn, and he knew that Hank might have some contradiction with the two.
But none of this had anything to do with him, and he didn't bother to ask.
"Where's the place to bet here?" Chen Xiu swept around and didn't see where to bet, so he looked at He Huan and asked.
Whether it is an underground black boxing or a regular professional boxing match, the real money is actually the various large and small handicaps set up around the competition, that is, gambling boxing.
As long as you can bet on it many times in a row, the principal can easily multiply several times in a row and earn a lot of profits.
Gambling on boxing is what Chen Xiu really likes to make quick money, and boxing is just to serve this.
"You want to play betting?" He Huan frowned, "The risk of gambling is very high, and if you are not careful, you will lose all your money." ”
He has been fighting black boxing for so long, so he naturally knows a lot about gambling boxing and knows some of the bends in it.
It can be said that gambling boxing is darker than black boxing, so he basically never touches gambling boxing.
Gus was also a little surprised.
"You're wrong, He." Jack laughed, "Who doesn't want to try gambling here, haven't you played it before, why stop your friends from playing." ”
"He's not my friend."
He Huan had an indifferent attitude and didn't seem to have a good relationship with Jack.
It is precisely because he used to play gambling boxing and finally lost all the money he earned from his hard work and boxing, so he said this.
Of course, He Huan just mentioned it in passing, and it was his own business whether Chen Xiu listened or not.
"How about it, do you want to have fun?" Jack didn't care about He Huan, and said to Chen Xiu with a smile: "The handicap has not been opened for the time being, if you want to play, you can give me the money, and when the handicap opens, I will help you bet." ”
"How are the handicap odds calculated?" Chen Xiu asked.
"The main thing is to look at the fame, look at the opponent, basically the bigger the winning rate, the lower the odds."
Jack glanced at He Huan and said: "For example, He, his odds in the last two games are only 0.8 and 0.7, but if he encounters a more famous opponent, the odds will rise." ”
"What are the odds for a rookie fighter?" Chen Xiu is more concerned about this.
"The odds of newcomers are generally at two o'clock, mainly depending on who the opponent is, if you are lucky enough to meet a powerful opponent, the odds can even reach more than four points."
Jack said.
The odds of rookie boxers are so high because the vast majority of rookie boxers are in contact with underground black boxing for the first time, and they can't adapt to the rhythm and cruelty of black boxing so quickly, and they lose the game in a daze.
Even professional boxers are like this, more than one professional boxer has been planted in the underground boxing ring, because after they defeat their opponents, they often stop chasing after victory out of professional habits, relax their vigilance, do not have enough sense of prevention, and then are attacked and overturned by opponents who do not speak of martial arts.
"Then hopefully I'm out of luck today." Chen Xiu smiled slightly and looked at Gus, "How much money do you have, lend me some." ”
"I don't have much cash on me, I can swipe your card as much as you want to bet." Gus didn't have the habit of carrying cash, and just took out a card.
"Can I swipe my card?"
Chen Xiu's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to take out his card, but after thinking about it, he forgot it.
There wasn't much money in that card, and he didn't know what channel he would use to hit the card after he won, in case it was seized by the police in the future, and it would be troublesome to freeze the money in his card when tracing the flow of gambling money.
"How much money do you have in this card?" Chen Xiu asked.
“…… Not much, less than 20,000. Gus faintly felt that something was wrong, and quickly said that the amount in the card was a little smaller.
"Wait a while, the handicap will open and bet on me to win."
Chen Xiu was not greedy, so he only took half of the other party's card.
However, even this half still scared Gus and He Huan, and even Jack's eyes widened.
"Are you crazy?" He Huan looked stunned, "Come up and play so big, if you lose, how can you pay back this money?" ”
Don't look at Gus now, he looks harmless to humans and animals, but this is just a disguised appearance of this guy, and he can't do the profession of a black fist agent without a hard enough background.
If you really think of Gus as that kind of Kaizi, thinking that you can rely on his money casually, I'm afraid it won't be long before someone comes to the door and shoots him to death.
"Then why don't you lend me 10,000 knives?" Chen Xiu's words directly blocked He Huan.
He Huan simply walked away, not wanting to stay here any longer.
"You guy is playing a little big, wait a minute, you should bet on him yourself, I still have to go beforehand."
Jack retreated and left the two.
It's basically a crazy person to play such a big game, and if he loses all his anger and gets angry, he will be in trouble, and he doesn't want to be troubled when the time comes.
It's not that there is no such neurosis, after all, once people lose crazy, it is not strange to do anything.
"How many games can I play tonight?" Chen Xiu was unimpressed by Jack's reaction and asked Gus.
"Well, it's up to you, as long as you want, even if you keep fighting."
Gus said: "Once you've beaten your opponent, you can choose not to play a tournament and ask for a tournament where you start with a win of 2,000 dolles, and for each round you successfully defend, the prize money will increase by 50% from the prize money of the previous round, and there is no limit to the number of rounds." ”
The prize money for the fight is high, but in reality very few fighters do this, and those who choose to do so are basically beaten to death in the ring.
Because once the defending match starts, it is mandatory to play ten games before it can end, and if you can't come down after ten consecutive games, even if you are not killed by others, you will be tired to death.
The prize money has risen so much, and the organizer will not easily take it out, so there is a rule that the guard must be guarded for ten games.
I don't know if it was due to negligence or some other reason, Gus didn't tell Chen Xiu about this rule.
"Guarding? Sounds like a lot of fun. Chen Xiu raised his eyebrows, and he faintly felt a little excited, "Can you bet during the tournament?" ”
"Yes, it's all about exchanging chips first, and then exchanging them for cash when it's over."
"Then when my tournament begins, every chip I win will be bet on my next hand." Chen Xiu's mouth opened open, revealing his white teeth.
He's going to make a good deal tonight.
“…… Yes. ”
Gus's eyelids jumped, and he felt that the other party was really a madman.
But fortunately, this madman will soon go to the defensive ring, and no matter how crazy he is, he won't be crazy for long, so he just took the opportunity to cut off this guy.
After all, he still has to eat on the territory of the Jimmy Gang, so he has to give Benjamin an explanation.
The two chatted for a while, and during the chat, some more people came one after another, including spectators and fighters who came to watch the fight, and in the end, the entire venue was almost 4,000 people.
The atmosphere on the pitch was also quite hot, even if the game hadn't officially started yet.
When the time came to 9:40, the black man named Jack came up and said to Gus: "The market has opened over there, and the first one is your rookie fighter against Oleton, and the odds are 3.2." ”
"Oleton? How could it be him! Gus's face changed instantly.
Oleton is a strong fighter under Hank, another black boxing agent, and he is strong and never fights at such a low level.
The appearance fee for this kind of low-level game is only 2,000 at most, and the appearance fee for a more advanced game can be at least 5,000 casually, and you can get more if you are more powerful.
"Hank found out about bringing the newcomer here, and he found someone to do it." Jason patted Gus on the shoulder, "Let your newcomer be blessed with his own blessings." ”
As long as there are newcomers coming over in the black market boxing match, the newcomers are usually the first to come on the field and are responsible for heating up the atmosphere.
As for how to fry it?
With the screams and blood of the rookie fighters, of course.
Gus's face was very ugly, he was not worried about Chen Xiu, but worried about the other fighter in his hand, that is, He Huan.
Since he poached Hank's next fighter before, the two have formed a bond, and tonight the other party specially brought his subordinate Olayton over, and he must have come for He Huan on purpose.
He Huan is his cash cow, and he is also ready to brush He Huan's results more beautifully, and then sell them to other black boxing agents at a high price, if he is killed by Oleton tonight, then his loss will be great.
"Is it finally going to start......
A flash of excitement flashed in Chen Xiu's eyes, staring at the direction of the ring.
He doesn't care who Olayton is, anyway, it will be good to kill him directly when the time comes, he only knows that with the odds of 3.2, he will be able to get a bonus of 30,000 two immediately.
There was already a guy who looked like a host on the other side of the ring walking up, holding the microphone and saying some unnutritious opening remarks.
"Well, do you still want to bet?" Jason said: "The game is about to start, you have to hurry up to place your bets. ”
Gus wanted to say no, but after seeing Chen Xiu's eyes, his whole body was stunned all of a sudden.
"Bet!" Gus gritted his teeth, now he could only pray that Chen Xiu was not a strong outsider, and that he could turn Oleton over so that his money would not be wasted.
And when Gus went to place a bet -
“…… Now we have tonight's rookie boxer, Xiu! ”
The host was hoarse and yelled.
As the host's voice sounded, the whole venue instantly boiled.
"I'm calling you, hurry up!"
Jason, who stayed here, said hurriedly.
Correction is Chen Xiu's codename, and in this kind of place, it is naturally best not to use the full name if you can not use the full name.
Chen Xiu walked over directly, and his eyes fell on him one by one, not only did he not have any discomfort, but he became more and more excited.
He easily jumped over the fence outside the ring and stood in the ring, and his crisp and neat movements caused many people to applaud.
"Alright, our rookie tonight has taken the stage, so let's meet his opponent and the most high-profile fighter here tonight, with an astonishing 54-fight winning streak."
At this point, the host's right hand, which was not holding the microphone, swung violently in one direction.
"The new underground boxing champion in the Barton neighborhood - Olayton!!"
When the host reported the name of the opponent's boxer, the entire venue suddenly erupted in a tsunami-like huge cheer!
A bald black giant man at least two meters tall, with explosive muscles all over his body, and thighs almost as thick as a telephone pole, stood up from his seat.
The bald-headed muscular giant was Chen Xiu's opponent in this game, Olayton.
"Roar!!"
Oleton raised his fists and yelled at the crowd before walking towards the ring.
And the already hot atmosphere at the scene came to a new peak because of his actions!
