Chapter 321: A Losing Game
"Why, can't you?" asked Xu Mo rhetorically.
The woman immediately realized her gaffe and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, I lost my temper." ”
Xu Modao: "It doesn't matter, can you explain?"
The woman said: "According to the regulations, the purpose of the finals is to determine the king of dogs, so ordinary dogs can also participate, but no one has ever used ordinary dogs to participate in the finals." In the finals, it was either a large dog or a medium-sized dog, and the bite was too tragic, and serious injuries or deaths occurred at every turn. Ordinary dogs meet dogfighting, there is really no advantage in the congenital, almost must lose, a loss has a high probability of death, because of the loss, because of the high mortality rate, so no one will take ordinary dogs to participate. What's more, sir, your puppy is so small, it may not be impossible to participate in small dog competitions. ”
"Wang!" Ping'an seemed to realize that the woman was talking about herself, and wagged her tail at her. The way it flatters people has always been to wag its tail, which adds a bit of cuteness to it out of thin air.
The woman took a look at it and couldn't help but praise: "What a cute puppy." "Wang!" Ping'an has always received praise from others without seeing it.
The woman looked at Xu Mo again and continued: "Such a cute puppy, it would be a pity to use it to participate in the finals, in case it is injured, sir, don't you think about it again? Of course, this is my personal advice to you, and it has nothing to do with the company." ”
Xu Mo smiled and said: "No need, I have already decided to let it participate in the finals, but I still want to thank you for your kind reminder." ”
"That's right. The woman glanced at Ping'an. There was a little pity in his expression, and he said helplessly: "Since you insist on doing this, I don't want to say anything." The entry fee for the regular dog competition is 100 yuan, and the grand finals are 200 yuan. ”
Xu Mo paid the fee, and the woman asked some other questions, Xu Mo answered them one by one, and then the on-site staff measured, took pictures, and recorded videos for Ping An. Photographs and videos are made into data that will be released the night before the start of the game for analysis by various experts. Participant Betting Reference.
Finish recording the video. Another on-site staff member told Xu Mo to go back and wait for the notice. He will be notified one day in advance as soon as a match is scheduled.
Xu Mo went back with peace. When you get home, put your peace down. I went to the mountains alone. This time. I didn't meet Fang Bing. Based on Xu Mo's understanding of her character, he guessed that most of them were busy with something and couldn't get out. Otherwise. She will definitely be waiting for herself outside the yard.
More rat holes were dug out of the yard, and a lot of broken porcelain, broken clay pots and other things were dug up, but there was still no trace of the treasure. Xu Mo couldn't help but begin to wonder if the treasure was real.
The rice left behind had already been eaten by the rats, so Xu Mo had to go to the supermarket to buy some rice and come back, and by the way, he bought a few chickens for the king cobra to fill its stomach. lest the snake be so hungry that he would steal and eat the rats in the yard while he was away. These rats, all of which have been tamed through their own wisdom transmission, are all treasure hunting rats, and it is a pity to eat them.
The hornets will forage for food on their own, so don't care, Xu Mo will feed the snakes and rats and drive back. He received a phone call from Yu Lei and invited him to the dog ring to play. Xu Mo refused, but then said that he had a puppy that was also going to participate in the competition, and Yu Lei was very interested and hurriedly asked him when the competition would be. Xu Mo told her that she had just registered and that she would have to wait for the notice.
Yu Lei hurriedly told him that when the notice came down, she must be told as soon as possible, and she would also watch the safe game. Xu Mo agreed, and Yu Lei hung up the phone.
Xu Mo returned home and continued to enter the drawing cultivation. The notice came down that it was in the afternoon of the next day, and it was an ordinary dog race. Xu Mo informed Yu Lei, and Yu Lei said that she would definitely go over to watch.
The next day was Saturday, for Zhou Yanyan and Yu Qiuwen, it was a holiday, and when they heard that Ping An participated in the dog fighting ring competition, they all said that they wanted to follow the past, and Xu Mo also agreed.
He drove the two daughters and Ping'an to the dog fighting ring, Yu Lei was waiting for them at the door, saw Zhou Yu's two daughters, and hurriedly asked: "Are they ......?"
Xu Mo introduced: "They are my nieces, one is called Zhou Yanyan and the other is Yu Qiuwen. You can call them Yan Yan and Wen Wen. Then he introduced Yu Lei to the second daughter, "Yan Yan, Wenwen, this is Aunt Yu." ”
The two girls politely called 'Aunt Yu'.
Yu Lei then saw Ping'an, looked at it a few times, opened her eyes wide, and said strangely: "This ...... Is this the dog you're going to race?"
Xu Mo then introduced: "It's called Ping'an, it's not bad, right?"
Yu Lei had an incredible expression on her face, "It's so small, it's still a soil dog, by the way, what kind of competition is it participating in?
"Nope. Xu Mo shook his head and said, "This time it's an ordinary dog." ”
"Ordinary dogs?" Yu Lei's eyes widened, and she even ignored the hidden meaning in Xu Mo's words, "You are so young, you actually participate in the competition of ordinary dogs, I think you are crazy." When I got on the field, I was afraid that in less than a minute, I would be bitten by other dogs. ”
Zhou Yu's second daughter listened to Yu Lei's words and laughed secretly on the side. Ping An used to fight was not good, but now there is Uncle Xu's special training, and he has been sleeping for several days, and even the hair on his whole body has been changed, although he can't see where the power is for the time being, but it is obviously not comparable to the previous Ping An.
The two of them have a blind admiration for Xu Mo, knowing that this Uncle Xu has great powers, often acts unexpectedly, and is always able to do something that ordinary people can't understand. Now that he has let Ping An participate in the competition, Ping An will definitely be able to.
Xu Mo said: "Don't underestimate Ping'an, although Ping'an is small, he is very powerful in fighting." ”
Yu Lei shook her head, still looking unconvinced, "When you get hurt, it's too late to regret it." ”
"Wang!" Ping'an seemed to realize that everyone was talking about him, and shouted in time.
Yu Lei glanced at Ping'an, shook her head again, and asked Xu Mo, "When is the game scheduled and in which field?"
Xu Mo had already been notified, "The third scene, District 7." ”
"The third one. Then it's still early, let's go check it out first. Yu Lei beckoned.
Four people and one dog walked towards the hall of the dog ring, Yu Lei often went in and out of this kind of place, and there were many acquaintances. As soon as she entered the hall, she was greeted by several people.
Among them was a middle-aged man with a pit bull in his hand, who also came to participate in the competition, but it was a medium-sized dog competition. When he saw Yu Lei, he came over to say hello. Yu Lei introduced Xu Mo to him, and the man exchanged a few words of greeting and walked away.
Zhou Yu's second daughter came to the dog fighting ring for the first time. Curious looking around. Whispering, staring at other people's dogs, and comparing with peace.
Yu Lei thought for a moment and asked again, "This little dog of yours." Haven't you ever competed before?"
"Nope. This is the first time. Xu Mo replied. Seeing Zhou Yu's second daughter circling around Ping An by his side, he gave Zhou Yanyan the rope that tied Ping An and asked her to hold it.
"It's the first time!" Yu Lei's face showed disappointment that could not be concealed. "Most of the handicap can't be opened, not to mention that your puppy is still so small, even if it does, the odds are probably extremely high. Well, is there a loss of 100?"
"One hundred is too high. Xu Mo answered.
"What do you think?" Yu Lei glanced at him, and then said: "If you have to lose, what's the use of high odds? No matter how high it is, no one will buy it." However, as long as the market is opened, it means that the casino thinks that your dog has a certain chance of winning, even if the probability of winning is small, it is still possible. I'm afraid that the handicap won't be opened at all, and if the casino thinks your dog will lose, there will be no handicap. ”
Xu Mo proposed, "You can go and have a look." ”
Yu Lei said: "Of course I have to take a look, in case the handicap is opened, I can also bet." Well, no matter how little you win, it's still a win. ”
Xu Mo recalled the meaning of her words and asked, "What do you mean? No matter how little you win, you will win, who wins? Whose bet are you going to place?"
Yu Lei looked at him with a smile on her face, not afraid of Xu Mo being angry at all, and said without thinking: "Of course it's the other party's bet, you little dog ......" said and glanced at Ping An again, "It's so small, how can you win?"
"Ahem!" Xu Mo coughed and continued: "If there is a handicap, I think you had better bet on the safety of our family." Isn't it, peace?"
"Wang!" Ping'an squatted on the ground and wagged his tail at Xu Mo.
"This little dog is quite cute. Yu Lei was attracted by the way it wagged its tail and praised it.
Xu Mo said: "There are many peaceful and lovely places." Peace, stand up and take a turn and show this beauty. While speaking, use the sympathy of the mind to convey the peace of mind. Ping An immediately understood what he meant, and stood up from the ground, standing on his two hind legs, the two little dog's legs quickly moved, and made a few circles in the ground, while the two front legs were raised high and stood in the air as if surrendering.
Yu Lei's eyes straightened, "This puppy! Then he realized something, and stared at Xu Mo in disbelief, "It's ...... Can it understand you?"
Zhou Yanyan interjected proudly, "Aunt Yu, my family is safe and smart." The meaning of the words was undoubtedly an acknowledgment of Yu Lei's question.
Yu Lei seemed to be shocked and didn't speak for a long time. Then he remembered something, turned to Xu Mo, his face became ugly, and he scolded: "Such a cute puppy, you actually ...... You're using it for a competition?"
Xu Mo said disapprerovingly: "It's just playing." His real purpose is actually to see how far Ping An has evolved after those few days of sleep, but this idea can't be told to Yu Lei.
Yu Lei regretted: "If it hurts, it would be a pity." Such a cute puppy, why play with it?"
Xu Mo had a hard time explaining to her, so he had to say, "When the game starts, you'll know what to do." ”
At this time, a large screen opposite happened to show the information of Ping An and the other dog, Zhou Yanyan and Yu Qiuwen saw it first, and hurriedly called Xu Mo, "Uncle Xu, look, look, that's Ping An's information." ”
Xu Mo and Yu Lei both looked at the big screen when they heard this, and the screen was indeed the information of Ping An and another dog, Xu Mo looked at Ping An first.
Ping'an, canine genus: Chinese pastoral dog, commonly known as the earth dog; age: one and a half years old (Xu Mo does not know the age of Lu Dao Ping'an, this age is made up); Height: forty-three centimeters; weight: twenty-seven pounds; participation in the competition: the first time to participate in the competition; odds: one hundred and seventy.
When Xu Mo saw this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The odds are so high?"
Yu Lei glanced at him. It seemed that he was still angry that Xu Mo let Ping An participate in the game, and said angrily: "You are content, it would be good to have odds." ”
Xu Mo suddenly had his own intention to bet.
But Yu Lei could hear him greet again: "Look, the information of another dog." It seemed to dawn on him, "No wonder there are odds, it turns out that this dog is not very good." Saying that, he glanced at Xu Mo, "You are lucky, it can be said that the blind man met the lame." ”
Xu Mo went to look at the information of another dog, the other dog was also a Chinese pastoral dog, but it was much larger than Ping'an.
Irritable. Canine genus: Chinese pastoral dog. Commonly known as the earth dog, age: two years and three months, height: 53 centimeters, weight: 33 pounds, participation in the competition: 11 times 11 losses, odds 170 to 1.
"This is?" Xu Mo also found a problem, and the odds of the two dogs happened to be reversed.
Yu Lei nodded, "I said, so that's the case." ”
Xu Mo is not very familiar with the rules of the casino. Busy asked, "What is it?"
Yu Lei said: "The casino thinks that the handicap of this game is open. There will be no profit. Therefore, I don't make a banker, let the two sides bet, and take a cut of it. This one pays one hundred and seventy and one hundred and seventeen pays one. It is calculated based on bets placed by both sides. The reason why someone bets is also because the winning rate of this dog called impatience is too low, eleven losses in eleven games, 100 percent losses. What a dismal odds of win!"
Yu Lei was stunned, reached out and covered her forehead, as if she couldn't bear to look at it anymore. After a while, he said, "But even so, no one is optimistic about the safety of your family." Alas, the congenital gap is there, only forty centimeters in size, and it would be better if you let it compete in small dogs, but you would like to participate in ordinary dogs. What shall I say about you?"
Xu Mo stretched out his finger and pointed to the big screen and asked, "How did this odds come from?
Yu Lei said: "I have friends in the dog fighting ring, ask their staff. ”
Then he greeted Xu Mo, walked to the place where Lu bet, and asked her friend, it turned out that dozens of people had bets on impatience with the intention of playing, and there were not many bets, that is, one or two hundred yuan per person, two or three hundred yuan, and finally accumulated to 17,000 yuan.
But none of them are optimistic about peace, so no one bets on it. This kind of betting method where no one sits in the bank, only one side of the bet, you can't gamble. When the casino was about to be withdrawn, someone happened to see that the odds were so high, and invested a hundred yuan in Ping An with the intention of playing. That's what the odds look like.
But as it stands, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to bet on this game again. They all feel that Ping An will definitely lose, who will waste money on it? The impatient odds are too low, bet 17,000 yuan, win only 100 yuan, and be taken by the casino. The odds are too low, you can't make money if you win, and it's not interesting to bet.
After Yu Lei waited for the staff to leave, she complained again: "Look at it, everyone is not optimistic, the odds are so low, you really shouldn't let your family participate in the game safely." ”
Xu Mo shook his head, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Hey, let me ask you, do you want to make a fortune?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Lei looked at him strangely, "Let me also bet on impatience?" and win that hundred yuan with dozens of people?"
"Nonsense. Xu Mo scolded with a smile, "I want you to bet on my family's safety." ”
Yu Lei said angrily: "You're crazy, your family's peace is bound to lose, okay? Let me bet on it, I won't lose to death?"
"Not necessarily. Xu Mo shook his head, "What if my family is safe and wins?"
"Win?" Yu Lei's eyes widened, and after thinking about it, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly lowered her voice, "Could it be that the impatient master was bought by you with money, and he will deliberately lose to you in the dog fight?" Speaking of this, he shook his head again, and said to himself: "No, even if he wants to lose, it's useless to be impatient and don't want to." Dogs are not human beings, so they cannot be discussed in advance. ”
Xu Mo smiled and said, "Where do you want to go?" I said that my family responded safely, and I would definitely win." ”
"But ......," Yu Lei would say.
"No but. Xu Mo interrupted her, and continued: "I plan to take out one million and vote for my family's safety, do you want to follow?"
"One million?" Yu Lei was taken aback, of course she could take out one million, but she just felt that she shouldn't invest in Ping An, "You dare to vote so much in a game that must be lost?"
Xu Mo said: "I have said a long time ago, peace will win." ”
Yu Lei stared at him for a while, as if she wanted to guess what was on his mind from Xu Mo's face. But she looked at it for a while, but she didn't see anything, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hey, how can you guarantee that Ping An will win?"
Xu Mo said confidently: "If I say I will win, I will definitely win." ”
Yu Lei was also a little surprised by his confidence, thought about it again, and then said: "Even if your family's peace will win, it is useless for you to bet so much, and if you win, it will only be 17,000 yuan." ”
Xu Mo smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say that peace will lose?"
"You mean?" Yu Lei's eyes widened, apparently realizing something.
Xu Mo nodded and explained: "Everyone thinks that Ping An will lose, and if they bet, these people will bet on impatience." The reason why no one bets now is because there are too few bets on Ping An, only a hundred yuan, and if you win, it is still dozens of points, so even if you bet on impatience, it is not profitable. You say, what would happen if I suddenly bet a million on Ping An?"
Yu Lei's eyes lit up, and she helped Xu Mo to add, "People who think that impatience will win will bet on impatience when they see that there is money to be made." ”
Speaking of this, she smiled at the corner of her eyes, glanced at Xu Mo, and said lightly: "You guy, it's really bad." (To be continued......)
