Chapter 260: Buying a Horse

As the trainer led the horses around the arena near the VIP area for inspection, someone in the stands began to evaluate the appearance and temperament of the horses, ready to place bets on the horses. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMore people don't pay attention to the horses in the review, but carefully flip through the newspaper in their hands.

"Your Majesty, why don't these people read the horses but the newspaper?" Li Xuan continued to carry forward the spirit of modesty and prudence, and asked if he didn't understand.

Queen Muskmelon II is very knowledgeable about horse racing and is also a "horse fan". She took out two newspapers from her satchel and handed one to Li Xuan. "The level of horse racing on Hong Kong Island is very high now, and it is close to the level of our Eagle Country. This is a special issue on horse racing, which contains analysis and judgment based on the previous results, rankings and odds of the participating horses, as well as an introduction to the riders, which is much better than betting on it yourself. ”

"Speed racing is a competitive activity that compares the speed of the horse and the rider's ability to control the horse. Speed racing is a result of the selection of the best horses, so it is mainly the horses that are compared, not the riders. Although the rider's ability to drive and how well he or she works with the horse are also important, the quality of the performance depends mainly on the horse's speed, endurance, strength, breed and parental pedigree. It can be said that in horse racing, the horse component accounts for six or seven percent, and the human component only accounts for three or four percent. Speed racing has no special requirements for the rider, and the lighter the weight, the better. Queen Muskmelon II continued to explain.

"Now we're looking at matinee, where up to 14 horses can be raced in each race, and the top six winners will receive different amounts of bonuses, which will be distributed among the owners, jockeys and trainers of the winning horses in different proportions, with the owner having the most horses, followed by the trainer, and the jockey getting the least. ”

"Oh! I see!" Li Xuan nodded, and did not pay attention to the horse newspaper in his hand, but continued to look at the horses in the field. Others are watching horses, but Li Xuan can look at "qi".

Just as Li Xuan was about to use the technique of looking at qi, spectators had already begun to flock to the betting hall to start placing bets. In the VIP area, there are special waiters to make statistics and place bets on their behalf.

Queen Muskmelon II raised her hand and summoned Count Pippi, "You go and bet me a hundred times, and I'll buy horse No. 5 to 'win'." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Count Pippi went at once to place a bet on the Queen.

"What do you mean by 'win-win'?" Li Xuan continued to ask Queen Muskmelon II.

Queen Muskmelon II is very familiar with the rules of betting on horses, and without thinking, she said: There are many rules for betting on horses. There are single games, there are also several combinations, and in a single game, there are two types: single and combined. In a game, there are six ways to 'buy horses': only buying the first horse is called "winning", buying any of the top three horses is called "position", buying the champion and runner-up combination is called "winning streak", buying any two combinations of the top three is called "position Q", buying the top three combinations regardless of the ranking is called "single T", and if you not only buy the top three, but also the ranking is good, it is called "triple color".

The combination of multiple games is more complicated, buying the first of two consecutive games is called "Twin Treasure", and buying the combination of two "single T" games is called "Twin T". There are two kinds of "three treasures" and "three T" in the three-game combination, of which "three T" is the most difficult to buy among all horse betting projects, so the return odds are also particularly high, generally as high as hundreds of thousands of times.

"The No. 5 horse I bought was a thoroughbred that had won a championship last month, and I thought it would win this time, so I bought the No. 5 'Win Only'. Mr. Li Xuan, you can also buy a bet for 10 Hong Kong dollars to try your hand first. ”

"It turns out that there are so many rules for buying horse tickets. Li Xuan set his eyes on the venue. Nearly 1.70 meters tall, Horse No. 5 has a unique tall square shape, a dry and sturdy body, slender limbs, sharp and angular body parts, clear lines, and smooth contours, almost like a "living work of art." ”

"Mr. Li Xuan, a thoroughbred horse is the fastest horse in the world, with the best body structure, brave, sensitive, stubborn personality, and bloodline, it is the best racehorse. You can buy the No. 5 horse too!" Queen Muskmelon II continued to recommend the horse she bought to Li Xuan.

"Haha! The No. 5 horse you bought should have a cold these days, and there is something wrong with the stomach, it should not be able to run in the top three. Li Xuan said with a smile to Queen Muskmelon II. He had already observed Horse No. 5 with the technique of Hope, and not only found that Horse No. 5 had a problem with his body, but also found that the horse's wealth was extremely weak.

"Wouldn't it?" Queen Muskmelon II looked at Li Xuan suspiciously, "You can tell that Horse No. 5 is sick from such a distance?"

"Haha, just kidding, I'm guessing. Li Xuan said casually.

Next, Li Xuan used the technique of looking at qi to observe the 14 horses in the first race, and each horse had a big number on it for the audience to identify.

Through observation, Li Xuan found that Horse No. 3 had the most wealth, followed by Horse No. 7, and Horse No. 1 again, and the other horses were all insignificant.

Li Xuan was very confident in his Qi Hope technique, he took out a 1,000 yuan face value of Hong Kong dollars, and called Hao Nan over with a wave of his hand, "Hao Nan, you go and buy me a few bets, just buy the 'Triple Lottery', No. 3 horse first, No. 7 horse second, No. 1 horse third." ”

"Master, if you want to buy the 'Triple Lottery', the prize pool is more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. If it's in the middle, we'll send it!" Haonan said in surprise.

"A little quiet, more than 10 million will make you happy like this? Isn't this or not!" Li Xuan glared at Haonan.

"Hehe, Master, can you still buy a horse?" Haonan gently slapped Li Xuan's ass. "Do we need to make a few more bets, it's safer?"

"No, just play casually, let's go!" Li Xuan sent Haonan away directly.

"Mr. Li Xuan, you actually bought the 'Triple Lottery'?" Queen Muskmelon II looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

"I just buy a few bets and just play around. Li Xuan replied very casually.

"I don't believe it!" Queen Muskmelon II looked at Li Xuan, "Then I will buy it with you!"

At this time, Count Pippi had already placed his bets and returned with a horse ticket in his hand. "Your Majesty, I have placed my bet according to your will. ”

"I still want to buy, you go and buy me 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, you want to buy 'Triple Lottery', buy No. 3 horse first, buy again, buy again, buy again......" Queen Muskmelon II just wanted to bet according to Li Xuan's number, and suddenly thought that this is not the same as robbing money in Li Xuan's hands, although there is a lot of money in the prize pool, but the number of bets bought, the prize money of each bet will be thinned.

"No, wait, let's go buy 'Winning Streak', buy the No. 3 champion and the No. 7 runner-up. The queen was very witty and dismissed the plan to buy the "triple lottery", but started the idea of "winning in a row". If you can win the lottery by buying "consecutive wins" for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, the prize will be at least dozens of times higher. (To be continued.) )
