Chapter 461: Eat tickets

Views:

Brother Beard talked about his own field and immediately talked non-stop, giving out a lot of useful information.

It turns out that the main reason why the country bans online lottery purchases is because the supervision of the lottery industry is not very standardized.

Basically, no matter how big or small the lottery buying websites on the Internet are, almost all have a certain degree of "ticket stealing" behavior.

Because according to the regulations of the National Lottery Center, agency sales websites can generally only get about 10% commission. Some lottery betting websites can only get 5%-7 because they do not have a license issued by the Lottery Center and can only cooperate with betting points. The commission is about %, and after deducting the costs of website promotion and maintenance, the profit will be even less.

Therefore, driven by interests, lottery sales websites engage in the behavior of "eating tickets".

The so-called ticket-taking behavior means that after a user purchases a lottery ticket on the website, the website does not go to the lottery center to buy the lottery ticket. The winning money is transferred to the user by itself, which is equivalent to being the banker. It is said that the user does not need to bother to claim the prize, and it is more direct. , more considerate by users.

There are many ways to "eat tickets" on the website, among which the easiest way to "eat tickets" is to buy lottery tickets randomly.

Many people buy lottery tickets online. To save trouble, they like to place random bets. This seems to have no problem. After all, lottery tickets are a matter of probability.

But the problem is that most of these randomly generated numbers are duplicates of the winning numbers in history - you know, the exact same winning numbers have never appeared in the history of Shuangseqiu. This also means that the random numbers you get on these lottery websites are simply impossible to win!

Therefore, the website will not issue tickets with such random numbers at all, and you will not win any big prizes anyway. It is better to "eat" the ticket directly, and do not go to the lottery center to place an order at all, in case you accidentally win. If you want a small prize, the website will pay for it.

Of course, some big websites will look better. They will not directly recommend the historical winning numbers. Instead, they will use a huge database to calculate some numbers with a low probability of winning, and let the winners buy these combinations with a low probability of winning. This This method is more subtle and makes it difficult for people to discover the fact that they are "taking tickets".

This "ticket-eating" model has brought huge profits to online betting websites, which is more than the 10% commission of the National Lottery Center. If the website's promotion is strong, tens of millions a year is not a problem.

Just think about why the lottery model is exclusive to the state. Industries such as tobacco and lottery account for a large share of the state's tax revenue. The huge profits are self-evident. It is estimated that they will not be open to the public for a long time. Personal capital enters.

In 2014, the national lottery revenue reached 382.3 billion. If those online lottery websites can get a piece of the pie, they are already making a lot of money.

However, this "ticket-eating" model has a fatal problem, that is, what if the user is lucky and wins the jackpot

According to the probability, selling lottery tickets is a guaranteed profit, but it is not ruled out that someone will be lucky and win the first prize in a short period of time.

Welfare lotteries are protected by national agencies. If you win, you will be paid out rigidly. You can get the bonus no matter what. However, those lottery purchase websites that "eat" tickets do not have this ability. If you "eat" the tickets accidentally, If there is a double color ball jackpot, the boss can't afford the compensation, so he can only take the money and run away.

In order to achieve maximum benefits, some unscrupulous betting websites simply change the names of all users who buy lottery tickets to their own. It is equivalent to all the lottery players on the website buying lottery tickets for themselves. If you don’t win, your money will be in vain. If you win, your money will be in vain. If you win a small prize, the boss will hold your nose and pay it, but if a lottery player accidentally wins a multi-million-dollar jackpot, the boss can use the lottery ticket with his name to claim the prize, and then run away quickly, taking the prize with the website. The ticket money was enough for him to live comfortably abroad.

Due to numerous shady stories and loss of profits, the country once closed the online lottery purchase channel. Later, after several rectifications, it was reopened. However, what kind of turmoil has gone through is unknown to outsiders.

Brother Huzi is right. The boss has great ambitions, and he wants to do everything online and offline. He originally wanted to become bigger and stronger and become a famous online lottery website in the industry. The rate of "sucking tickets" is already very low compared to the industry. , just "eating" some lottery tickets that are obviously not winning.

Unexpectedly, this boss actually met Nie Cai, a man who did not follow common sense, and actually won the jackpot of 5 million in three bets at once. Now he could not resist the temptation and even stopped operating the website. , just pretended to get the lottery ticket and ran away!

"So, I never buy lottery tickets online because the industry is too confusing... It's better to go to the betting shop in person and buy it with peace of mind."

After Brother Beard said these words, he let out a long breath, and then gave Nie Cai a pitiful look: "Brother, for the sake of helping you so much, can you give me some immortal energy? Just give me some Just one click!

Nie Cai used gentle force to kick the dirty bearded brother away, and said angrily and with laughter: "Stop talking nonsense. Since you know the owner of this website, can you help me find him?"

"I only met him once, and I don't even know his name."

Brother Beard was kicked away, looked at Nie Cai pitifully, and said.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, trembled, and said quickly: "By the way, I seem to have remembered that the Fourth Master is the person under him. If he comes to see me later, please help me." Catch him and you’ll find the boss behind him!”

"You lied to me again, didn't you? You want me to be your shield for free..."

Nie Cai glared at him and said.

This bearded man was a good man when he was playing tricks. When he saw the bald fourth master, he was ready to catch him and cut off his hand. He finally got himself to be a free bodyguard. How could he let go of this opportunity

He was about to have an attack, but at this time, he discovered that there was no yellow light coming from Brother Beard's head when he spoke.

The thought reading component has a lie detection function. Since the thought reading component does not prompt, then this bearded brother should be telling the truth.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Nie Cai said doubtfully.

He was about to settle the score with the boss behind this website, but he didn't expect Brother Beard to have a clue. This was an unexpected surprise.

"It's absolutely true... By the way, can you show me the pictures on your phone again? I think the person wearing the Sun Wukong mask looks familiar..."

Brother Beard patted his chest, seemed to remember something, and said.

"Looks familiar? Could it be that you have seen this person before?"

Nie Cai quickly took out his mobile phone, enlarged the picture and showed it to Brother Beard to identify it carefully. Brother Beard looked at it for a long time, then nodded and said in a confirming tone: "It's unmistakable, this is the fourth master, he has a The scorpion tattoo, I remember this very clearly!”
