my old life

Chapter 2253 The odds of cheating

I called the girl at the front desk to come and sit down, and I put my hands on her long legs naturally, trying to integrate myself into the atmosphere of the room.

If it were Second Uncle here at this moment, he would definitely be able to play around and drive the atmosphere, he would do more tricks than me.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. The environment can determine a person, and it can also change a person.

In the past, my second uncle often said that in some specific occasions, being alone is not as good as being in the same boat, and don't be the one who is rejected by others.

It is human nature to go with the flow, and the prerequisite for not wanting to go with the flow or join the crowd must be the ability to change the environment!
"The competition is about to start, and the dogs are on the field." Jennifer reminded me, and I saw two dogs appearing on the TV screen.

I know the ferocious-looking pit bull, but I don't know the "tall and big" Caucasian dog opposite.

From the point of view of body size, the difference is about twice, which is completely like an asymmetrical game, and the odds are 1 to 1.5.

Judging from the odds, the Pitbull has an advantage, but from the perspective of size, it is disadvantaged. This odds makes it difficult to choose.

The superior probability has a disadvantage in size, so many people will prefer the Caucasian dog with a disadvantage in probability but an advantage in size.

If you think about it carefully, you can find that this is a two-way odds in favor of the Caucasian dog, but it cannot be ruled out that someone bets in the opposite direction.

Mr. Sun gave the inside information just now, and now it seems that people have no idea, because the gap is really too big!

Looking like an adult dog and a puppy, the thick-skinned Caucasian is hard to beat.

Of course, if you use a king of bits to single out an idiot among Caucasian dogs, then there is not much suspense about the outcome, because dog fighting requires training...

Wait, it suddenly occurred to me that in the boxing match just now, the stronger nigger won in the end!
"Mike, do you think the news given by Mr. Sun has a chance of winning?" I took the initiative to find something to say, so as not to let myself be excluded.

"Whether there is or not, Bit bet 30... Finally make a bet of 50 for a tie."

Mike's words seemed very meaningful. He first bet according to Mr. Sun's suggestion, and finally made a draw.

It looked like his betting was inconsistent, betting on a Pitbull win and then a tie, but it was possible to bet more than once in a game.

If you are not satisfied with a result in the early stage, you can change your bet, but the funds you bet in the early stage will not be returned, but Mike must have ulterior motives if he starts like this at the beginning!

"Who do you think will win the dog fight?" I lowered my voice and asked the girl at the front desk to guess the result.

Generally speaking, the more ignorant you are, the easier it is to guess correctly, because you will not be confused by the floating odds, this is the 50.00% winning rate!

The floating odds offered by the dealer are very deceptive. A person has a 50.00% winning rate at the beginning, but after thinking about the odds, it is estimated that the winning rate is less than 30.00%.

"I think the big dog is going to win, and I'm just talking nonsense."

"It's okay, just treat it as entertainment! If it were you, how much would you be willing to bet?"

"No, no, I don't know how to bet." The girl at the front desk immediately refused, and her entire face turned pale.

Looking at this appearance, I guess someone has ordered in advance that they are not allowed to participate in the betting of gamblers, let alone provide any opinions.

This kind of rule of watching chess and not talking is the same everywhere. I was told like this in the mahjong parlor and chess room, because gambling is different from anything else.

Gambling is similar to venture capital investment. If a gambler wins, it is his own fault. If he loses, he will blame others...

I saw that the girl at the front desk had a secretive look on her face. She should know that this is something to be thankless for. Talking too much sometimes turns into a slap in the face...

"Then listen to you, I won't bet on this hand." I deliberately spoke louder so that Jennifer and Mike could hear.

I didn't want to bet here. It's one of my principles not to know what to do. It doesn't do me any good whether I win or lose.

I know very well the meaning of the word bet, and I know very well the relationship between winning and losing.

If I lose in this bet, I will feel deprived. If I win, a hook will be planted in my heart, which makes me feel itchy all the time...

At 12:30, the dog fighting competition officially began. Two people stood on the stage and pulled the dog's ears, and there was something like a machete in their hands.

I've never seen what that thing is, but I guess it must be used to separate fights, after all, dogfights also have intermissions.

Dogs don't understand the rules made by humans, but humans can forcibly separate the dogs for rest. The short rest is also for better viewing.

As soon as the two people let go, the two dogs rushed forward and wrestled together, biting and attacking each other. It seems that the Caucasian dog has an absolute advantage!

Tall and strong, he threw the pitbull on the ground from the very beginning, biting his mouth hard and not letting go...

If Mr. Sun hadn't said the betting situation in advance, I would think that the Caucasian dog is sure to win, just like an adult singled out a schoolboy.

Soon the two dogs were fighting each other, and many people around were shouting the dog's name, as if they wanted to rush to help.

To be honest, I'm not interested in dog fighting at all. It's better to watch **professional hyenas and lions fight.

About 10 minutes later, the two dogs were separated. They used the half-circle knife in their hands to slash the dog's neck twice, and let go of it no matter how much it bites.

Dogs have a natural instinct to protect their necks. If they are unfortunately bitten by a wild dog, they must attack the dog's neck...

The dog's ears are the place to control the dog's head. Just grab the dog's ears to make the dog obedient, no matter how fierce the dog is, it must be honest.

The two dogs were all bloody and bloody when they separated, and someone next to them was washing them with a bucket. Seeing the bloody and bloody appearance, the more they looked at it, the more awkward they felt.

"Have you ever seen a dog fight before?" I whispered, changing the subject to divert my attention.

"Seen."

"Do you think it looks good?" I asked with a smile, wondering if the girl at the front desk would surprise me.

"good."

"Have you seen Cage Survival? Can you introduce it to me?"

As soon as the words came out, the girl's face turned pale, and she faltered and shook her head, looking very scared.

For a while, I was even more curious about this prison survival project. What kind of project is this?
"I'll go to the bathroom."

"I'll take you there." The girl at the front desk immediately stood up and led the way, and when she left the private room, she could feel the buzz of people.

The shouts that could be heard in the single room were amplified several times outside, making it deafening.

When I went down the stairs, there was a public restroom in the corridor. I took out a cigarette and lit it, signaling her to wait at the door.

I glanced at the time and it was less than one o'clock in the morning. The show would end at five o'clock in the morning at the earliest, and there were still four hours before I could go back to rest.

In fact, I can't ask to leave now. Mike and Jennifer are nominally inviting me to entertain me tonight. What if I leave first?

Back in the VIP room, the dog fight had already been decided. Surprisingly, the two dogs had a draw, and they were both lying there panting heavily.

There are many options in dogfight betting, whether it is betting on Bits to win or lose, or Caucasus to win or lose, a tie will all be killed!The last tail-docking bet will also be killed by the dealer!

The result of the tie was beyond people's expectations, but it made me understand Mike's intention of betting. He knew that the game would be tied!
The floating odds offered by the bookmaker are very deceptive. Among the odds of 1 to 1.5, people spend as much time as possible thinking about how to bet, but they ignore the 1 to 3 draw betting.

For any gambling, the higher the odds, the smaller the probability. This is something every gambler knows well. No matter which dog wins, they will basically not bet on a tie.

If you bet on two of the three odds of a tie at the same time, then no matter which one you win, you will be guaranteed, and you will only get a profit if there is a tie.

For some people who are optimistic about the draw, they will not think about the outcome, and for those who consider the outcome, they will not consider the draw.

The deceptive odds will fool most people, but not Mike, who has to say he bets really well!

In fact, dog fighting is just a form like gambling, a game that people participate in and look forward to winning or losing. The real purpose is to maximize profits!

"Mike, your guess is a tie, it's accurate!" I gave Mike a thumbs up, and he smiled and didn't say anything.

In fact, Mike doesn't understand dog fighting, but he understands the rules and routines in the casino, and he knows how to place bets to maximize his profits.

"Hawkeye, why don't you bet if you have money? Don't you like gambling?" Jennifer asked curiously, and I turned my head to look.

I just saw her make the beauty in the short skirt so weak that she was out of breath. I really don't know how she can accept it.

My second uncle used to say that you don’t have to worry about things that you don’t understand, because if you understand, then you will become the same person!
"I like to gamble, but I never make unsure bets."

"Oh? So you will be sure of every bet?" Jennifer looked at me in surprise, and at the same time Mike glanced at me.

"Of course! Gambling may be entertainment for you guys, but it's work for me! Have you ever seen someone who turned work into a hobby?"

Jennifer didn't say anything more after saying this. I was different from them. The trickster bets rely on tricks and brains, and absolutely does not rely on luck and guesswork.

"This scene seems to be unsatisfactory!" Mike said suddenly, and his words sounded deep!

In the midst of booing, the two fighting dogs were pulled away. I don't know how much money the dealer can win from this dog fighting, but Mike needs to be paid 150 million.

Maybe Mike knew that this was a man-made dogfight, and the result of winning or losing was not determined in advance, but it would be done according to the amount of bets.

As the saying goes, it is better to sell well than to buy, and dealers will never do business that loses money, let alone offer odds that are unfavorable to themselves!
Mike asked people to bet 50 on a tie at the beginning, and the betting would be displayed on everyone's screen, so others would naturally avoid it.

The betting amount is transparent here, and you can see how much you bet in which room, and there is no doubt that the betting amount for draws and broken tails is the least.

However, the odds of tail docking are very high. Many people will buy a little bit after betting on winning or losing, expecting a win-win situation...

It is never the gamblers who can really win-win in the casino, and the sellers are always the ones who can make money in business. This is a law that will never change.

"Will it still be boxing and dog fighting next?" I asked out of boredom, rather than watching the violence here, I might as well go back to sleep at the front desk.

"The next step is to survive in the cage, which will open your eyes soon!" Jennifer looked at me pretending to be mysterious, and I thought to myself, what other tricks can I play?
Amid the yelling and cursing, everyone gathered next to the iron cage. After the dogfight, the sound of cursing could still be heard, but these people would not leave.

Gamblers have a very obvious characteristic. If they lose money, they will scold Gou Zhuang for being so crappy. If they win money, it is their own luck and strength.

This is like a vicious circle of thought, people who are addicted to it can never get out, in fact, some people know that it is a dead end but they are not willing to get out...

Survival in the Iron Cage starts at two o'clock in the morning. At this moment, someone has already entered the iron cage to warm up. Looking carefully, my scalp is numb!
What the hell is going on here!
