Chapter 175: Betting on horse racing

Views:

"Okay, just come, who is afraid of whom?"

Nie Cai said not to be outdone.

"Please prepare a box for us."

Fatty Zou said to the waiter next to him.

VIP rooms have the obligation to provide private rooms for gamblers, and Fatty Zou's request is reasonable.

A waiter came over politely and asked respectfully: "Excuse me, this distinguished guest, what kind of gambling game are you preparing for in the box?"

"You name it, mahjong, pai gow, cards, or even betting on football and horse racing are all up to you."

Fatty Zou said to Nie Cai nonchalantly.

He is a frequent visitor to the casino, and if he is not a master in various gambling methods, he is still at the level of proficiency.

Based on what he had just observed about Nie Cai's gambling level, he was simply at the level of a rookie.

In gambling games such as mahjong and stud, three points depend on luck and seven points depend on skill. Unlike the fruit machine just now, you can't win just by luck.

The gap between a true master and a novice is like a world of difference, and a novice can be manipulated in the palm of his hand.

Nie Cai thought for a while, thought seriously, and then said: "How about... how about we play rock, paper, scissors?"

He really knows nothing about gambling. He can play mahjong, but even a time-shifting camera component is of no use. After all, there are too many variables. The five-minute advantage of using a time-shifting camera component to predict the future is completely useless. .

As for things like Stud Pai Gow, Nie Cai had only seen them in Hong Kong gambling movies. He only saw Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau playing handsome roles. As for how to play this kind of thing? He doesn't know how to do it at all.

If one had to rely on the gambling table to find out, I am afraid that with the bets in the VIP room, Nie Cai has already lost all the two million principal in a few games that he is familiar with the rules. How can he be the opponent of Fatty Zou, an old fritter? .

"Rock, paper, scissors? You're playing with me, right... You think it's just a kid playing house!"

Fatty Zou was startled for a moment, and then immediately cursed secretly.

Although the rules in the VIP room of Ruyi Gambling House are relatively casual, and gamblers can gamble in any way there, there must be a limit.

Playing rock, paper, scissors in a casino like Ruyi Casino is simply ridiculous.

"Then I don't know any other way to gamble!"

Nie Cai said depressedly: "How about... we use the fruit machine to gamble and determine the outcome?"

He only knew the fruit machine just now. If it were a more advanced and advanced gambling method, he would not be able to do it. Learning one again would definitely put him in a disadvantageous position.

"The fruit machine is your sister!"

It would be okay if Nie Cai didn't mention the fruit machine, but Fatty Zou would get angry when he mentioned the fruit machine.

He had just watched Nie Cai win two million in three consecutive games. Although he didn't know whether Nie Cai was lucky or had mastered some rules, he would definitely not gamble with Nie Cai on the fruit machine again.

What a joke, with the momentum just now, competing with him on the fruit machine is simply asking for death. Only a fool would bet on this with him.

"Change to something else, something with a bit of technical content!"

Fatty Zou said through gritted teeth. Now he almost felt that Nie Cai was deliberately mocking him.

"But, I really don't know how to do Stud, Pai Gow, etc."

Nie Cai said with helplessness on his face.

"Pretend, I'll let you continue to pretend!"

Fatty Zou is about to go berserk. Is this Nie Cai addicted to pretending to be a rookie

You don’t know how to gamble, so why did you come to this Ruyi Gambling House? Are you here for sightseeing like the Macau casino

"Then let's bet on horse racing, right? The Hong Kong Jockey Club happens to have horse racing right now. We'll make the decision by watching the live broadcast. Just buy a number with your eyes closed, and you'll know it right? Let's use the horse racing to decide the outcome!"

Fatty Zou said through gritted teeth that he had had enough of Nie Cai's innocent look.

"Okay, you said I don't know how to bet on sports, but I don't know how to do things like horse racing?"

Nie Cai's eyes lit up and he said quickly.

His gambling experience was all accumulated in arcades when he was a teenager. In arcades, fruit machines, horse racing machines, mahjong machines, fish machines and other gadgets are frequent visitors, even if Nie Cai does not frequent them. You also know the rules of this kind of thing.

There is also horse betting in the gambling machine. Even if it is different from real horse betting, it is still better than knowing nothing at all.

"Okay, then we'll make an agreement!"

Fatty Zou was immediately overjoyed and agreed immediately.

Betting on horses seems to be purely luck, but in fact it depends on the strength of the horse and the strength of the jockey. It cannot be done by blindly blinding oneself with eyes closed.

Horse racing is considered an outlier among the various gambling methods in the Mainland, but because Fatty Zou has lived in Hong Kong for a period of time, he has actually studied the Hong Kong Jockey Club for a long time and has some knowledge of famous horse racing and jockeys.

Regardless of the odds, using odds to determine the outcome is almost a rogue method, because only good horses and good riders have a high chance of winning. After all, it is very rare for a dark horse to be upset.

This is like betting on football. Most people in Brazil vs. China know what the outcome will be, but considering the handicap algorithm, the odds become simple and confusing.

Can the Chinese team win with three goals? What about five goals? Without taking into account factors such as odds and handicap, deciding the outcome is simply a hooliganism.

Some people in the crowd even booed. They couldn't stand Fatty Zou bullying Nie Cai.

Everyone can see that Fatty Zou must be a veteran of casinos. To use this method to deal with Nie Cai, a newcomer who knows nothing, is simply bullying.

However, Fatty Zou didn't have any embarrassed look on his face. In the eyes of a gambler, there is only victory or defeat. As for the means used, he would not consider it at all.

"Two distinguished guests, please come this way. We can search for Hong Kong satellite signals on board and can directly receive TV signals of Hong Kong horse racing. It is absolutely fair and impartial. Don't worry, you two!"

The waiter nodded and bowed quickly, guiding Nie Cai and Fatty Zou to an empty box.

People who were in the VIP room and lounge before followed the excitement and got into the box. The huge box was instantly filled to the brim.

This box is very luxurious inside. Compared with the outside, it has an extra 85-inch LCD TV. There are twenty or thirty seats in the box, which looks very unique.

"Two distinguished guests, this is a special box for betting on football and horse racing in our casino. I will open the live broadcast channel for horse racing in Hong Kong for you now!"

The waiter turned on the TV in the box. After some adjustments, images finally appeared on the 85-inch LCD TV.

At the racecourse, several riders were getting ready to go. The host seemed to be chattering and introducing the glorious history of horse racing and riders. However, Nie Cai could not understand Cantonese, and the information the host said was of no use to him. .

But when Fatty Zou saw the subtitles on the live TV broadcast, his eyes suddenly lit up!

He has been paying attention to horse racing in Hong Kong and knows that a horse named "Shura" has been very popular recently. He has won many horse racing championships in succession. The odds have been falling and he has become the favorite in every game.

The same is true for this competition now. In the TV footage, Shura occupies the No. 1 track, holding his head high, as if he is despising the other horses for overestimating their abilities and trying to steal the limelight from him.

"You go ahead and place your bet. Remember to decide the outcome. Don't go back on me when the time comes!"

Fatty Zou said proudly to Nie Cai.

There are very few people in the entire Ruyi Gambling House who are good at horse racing. Fatty Zou is one of them, at least he knows more than most people.

Nie Cai frowned and stared at the screen for a long time, seemingly confused.

Seeing Nie Cai's appearance, Fatty Zou's contempt became even stronger and he said: "Hurry up, the game will start in two or three minutes. Don't wait until it starts and you haven't made up your mind yet!"

"All right."

Nie Cai scratched his head and asked, "Can I just choose any of these tracks?"

There are many tracks in the racecourse on the screen. They all have a tall horse and a professionally dressed rider. There seems to be no difference between them.

At least, to a layman they all look the same.

Nie Cai thought about it for a moment, and just when Fatty Zou was about to lose his patience and was about to get angry, Nie Cai finally spoke up.

"I'll choose horse No. 3. The color of this horse No. 3 looks like I like it."

Nie Cai pondered for a while before speaking.

"Are you sure it's horse number three?"

The expression on Fatty Zou's face remained unchanged, but he said with great joy in his heart.

He happened to know Horse No. 3. This purebred horse named "Zorro" was previously considered a top-notch horse at the racecourse and won many championships. However, it was only last year that he was injured for more than half a year and was recuperated recently. Back to the game.

It's just that after "Zorro" returned to the competition, his results were not as brilliant as before. He could only be ranked at the bottom of the second group in the racecourse. Whether he could even finish in the top three was a big problem.

"I'm sure, I just think it looks the most pleasing to the eye!"

Nie Cai nodded and said.

"Okay, I'll choose horse racing No. 1. The race starts in one minute, and I'd like to ask Ruyi Gambling House to do a notarization! Each side will put up two million chips, and the winner will be determined by one hand!"

Fatty Zou said to the waiter that the casino, as a third party, had the obligation to do this notarization.

"Okay, you two can leave your chips with me and let our casino do the notarization!"

The envoy nodded quickly, spoke politely, and then said to the onlookers present: "Because it is a box bet, others can't place bets directly, they can only place bets? It's the last minute, let's place bets Please come to me for statistics..."

"I'm Li, I'm Li, do you want to bet on horse racing?"

A middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shouted quickly and said: "I bet on the outside and bet on this fat guy to win!"

The middle-aged man spoke Cantonese, and hearing his voice immediately caused a commotion in the box.
