"Brother Yuan, you shouted at the door just now, asking for money to place a bet, and you also shouted that if you miss it, you will lose a lot. It seems that you know whoever you buy will win."
Xu Yi reached out to pick up the copper pot, filled a cup of tea for Master Zhou, and asked with a smile.
Yuan Qinghua said, "My lord, I don't know. The Gao Pan who will end up this time is very different from ordinary people. He is a strong man who has participated in the purple flag competition eight times. It must be known that this competition is a life-and-death competition. He can survive the competition eight times. , which is enough to prove Gao Pan's unparalleled strength. On the other hand, Gao Pan's opponent, the little-known Yi Shenzhu, although he is boasted to be amazing, but who has seen him make a move... "
"Bragging about Yishencatch? What's the point of that?"
Xu Yi interrupted, he guessed that God Catcher Yi was himself, but he couldn't figure out how he got the halo of God Catcher for no reason when he sneaked into Guang'an.
Yuan Qinghua said, "Proprietor, you are asking someone. If you ask other people, I am afraid that you will be confused. Only an old man like me who has been in Guang'an for countless years can know the truth."
"What nonsense!" Xu Yi said grumpily.
Yuan Qinghua said awkwardly, "The proprietor doesn't know, this is actually a smoke bomb released by a group of gambling stalls, ecstasy array. This time, because Gao Pan will end up in the gambling fight, the outcome is almost certain. And the gambling stall I am most afraid of betting on a game that is doomed, because the betting position is almost 100% sure to lose. However, I have to accept the bet, otherwise the signboard will be damaged. At this stage, there are only two moves left in the betting position."
"One way is to desperately lower Gao Pan's odds. Take this time as an example, Gao Pan's odds of winning, the highest betting stall, is only ten to one. The other way is to constantly create momentum for the weak, Spread false news about how the weak are strong and how they hide deep, to confuse the public. Of course, these tricks are not useless. They can't fool the veterans, but they can cause chaos in the city and make people who don't know what they are. After all There are also quite a few boudoir girls and noble ladies who like this way, who are blind and not good at gambling, and are attracted by this fake news, and they come to win huge prizes."
As he listened, a smile appeared on Xu Yi's face, "I wonder what the odds are for Yi Shenzhu?"
"Two for one!"
"What, how could this be? Gao Pan's odds are 10 to 1, which proves that everyone is optimistic about Gao Pan's victory. In this case, shouldn't Yishenzhuo's odds be 1 to 10, why is it only 2 to 1? Isn’t it too dark to open the odds like this, how can there be low odds for both pros and cons?”
Xu Yi was very upset, he deliberately wanted to make a fortune in gambling, but he didn't know that he ran into a profiteer and made his dream come true.
Yuan Qinghua said, "The gambler is willing to accept such a gamble that the gambler must win. It is all because of gritted teeth. How dare the gambler complain that the bet is bad. As for the odds of Yishenchu, why didn't the gamble reach one?" Paying dozens of dollars to lure poor ghosts to fight for their lives is nothing more than trying to cooperate with the rumors they have released."
"Imagine, if Yishenchuu's odds are set at dozens of losses, the market will not be optimistic about Yishenchuu, and the rumors spread will not last long, and no big fish will be caught. Conversely, if If you pay tens of dollars to one, it seems to be too much boasting, and the rumors are easy to reveal. After all, Yishenchuang is just a fabrication, but Gao Pan is the real thing. The rumors fabricated by the gambling dealer must be faked and true. It's too outrageous. Therefore, the odds of 2 to 1 are the most reasonable."
Yuan Qinghua has been living in Dongcheng these years, living a normal life and suffering, but she didn't save any money. The reason for this is because of this gambling. This guy worked hard every month, except for making a living, the rest was spent on gambling.
Although you lose more than you win, but after all, you have gained experience in gambling, and you can see all the bells and whistles of the gambling stalls.
After listening to Yuan Qinghua's analysis, Xu Yi could only yell bad luck in his heart while cursing profiteers secretly.
Xu Yi was silent, but Yuan Qinghua was impatient and shouted, "Proprietor, we can't afford to delay, we have to place our bets as early as possible, and according to this trend, the odds will have to be lowered. After a while, it will be 1 to 40 and 1 to 50. Besides, I bought it myself, why is the proprietor hesitating? Look, this is my betting ticket. I earn your ten gold today, and my other two All the ten gold coins have been thrown in!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out a piece of bright red cardboard the size of a palm.
"Okay, stop spitting, I'll make a bet!"
Xu Yi hired Yuan Qinghua for this job, so he took out a stack of gold tickets from his pocket and slapped them on the stone table, "It's a thousand gold in total, I bought them all."
Together with the 900 gold stolen from Jiang Shaochuan and the original 350 gold, Xu Yi's assets totaled 1,250 gold. Taking out a thousand pieces of gold is considered an all-out effort.
Yuan Qinghua knew the proprietor's arrogance early on, but he never expected such arrogance, a bet of one thousand gold, even the children of aristocratic families in the city, few would dare to play like this.
"Okay, don't worry, the proprietor, I'll come back as soon as I go, and I will try to buy it back for you at a discount of 10% for 30."
Fearing that the odds would change, Yuan Qinghua grabbed the golden ticket and wanted to run away.
"Wait a minute, I haven't said who to buy yet, buy all Yishenbu for me, and I'll buy the one with the highest odds."
Xu Yi grabbed Yuan Qinghua's wrist and confessed in a deep voice.
"What!"
Yuan Qinghua was so shocked that her hair almost stood on end, "Proprietor, you are right! This is like throwing money into the water. If you think the money is hot, you can give it to me!"
"What nonsense, do you know who Yi Shenbu is?"
"Could it be that the proprietor knows it!"
"It's your boss!"
Yuan Qinghua's eyes widened, as if seeing a ghost in the daytime, suddenly remembered the name and surname of her proprietor, and also remembered the signboard of the Furong Town Patrol Yamen Office in Guang'an hanging in front of the door, everything was clear.
"This, this, how..."
Yuan Qinghua spoke incoherently.
He really didn't know what to say, he wanted to persuade the proprietor to flee quickly, but he knew that the moment the odds were paid out from the gambling stall, the house here was under strict surveillance; he wanted to comfort the proprietor that Gao Pan was invincible, but this He talked about personnel affairs, but it was hard to say anything; what was even more helpless was that he had just been hired, and even the rent of the house in Dongcheng had been waived before he came, and he had carried all the salutes. No, isn't God just kidding me
Xu Yi had a delicate mind, knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't be dumbfounded, I know how much I own, so I quickly place a bet on me, don't worry, if I die on the stage, your boy will be a year old." The commission will be paid by someone.”
Yuan Qinghua's eyebrows changed, and she said anxiously, "Proprietor! I'm acting like this because of a mere commission! Forget it, forget it, I'm entrusted by others, and I'm loyal to you. Please wait a moment, my lord!" plunged into darkness.
