Chapter 93 Odds
Although Ah San and Ah Si had no money, it did not stop them from placing bets. The judging criteria also changed from tall stature, thick arms, long legs, small eyes, and finally even bald heads were tried. However, it was as if someone was deliberately against them, and all the boxers they believed would win lost miserably.
Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili won nine out of ten bets and won a huge sum of money.
At this time, the host stepped onto the stage with a sexy step. The muscles on his face trembled with excitement before he spoke. People also sensed something and started to get restless.
The host laughed and said, "It seems that everyone is ready. Yes, the next one to appear will be the highlight of our game tonight: the steel - fork -!"
The crowd immediately cheered, followed by a rhythmic roar of "Steel fork! Steel fork! Steel fork!"
Lei Tingting was surprised and said: "This guy has his own fans."
The man who had chatted with him earlier immediately said in a condescending manner: "Of course, Gangcha is the most popular star in recent years. This industry was almost declining, but he saved the field!" When he said this, his excitement was beyond words. It seemed that he was a true fan of Gangcha.
As the crowd cheered, a man of medium stature jumped steadily onto the stage. He waved calmly to the people below, but this simple action added fuel to the fire, and the cheers and shouts became louder.
Zhuge Daofeng said with emotion: "What a strong aura!"
Ah San and Ah Si hurriedly asked, "Where is it, where is it? Where is the aura?"
Zhuge Daofeng quickly turned his head away and pretended not to know them.
The host shouted in an equally exciting voice: "Let us welcome another contestant, he is the industry killer who swept across Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai - Hongtian Cannon!"
There was a lot of booing from the audience, and it seemed that people were more impressed with the steel fork. But those who knew the industry were whispering, "The organizers are awesome this time, they even invited the sky cannon!"
"Isn't it? I wonder how much it cost?"
Lei Tingting asked the teacher: "Who is the Sky Cannon?"
The teacher-student said with a worried look on his face: "I have heard of this person but have never met him. He is considered a professional player in this field and is very popular in the circle."
Zhang Nianzu interrupted and asked, "Who do you think will win?"
The teacher hesitated and said, "It's hard to say. Steel Fork is powerful and can be the king in our area, but the Sky Blaster has been famous for a long time. It's like you are the chess king of your community. Now they have invited the national chess champion. How long can you remain so awesome?"
Lei Tingting asked: "Who do you bet on to win?"
The old man who likes to teach others said in a mature and steady manner: "Let's wait and see."
At this moment, everyone felt a slight tremor coming from behind the ring. A giant man two meters tall walked up. He didn't mean to show off, but every step he took on the ground was like a small earthquake, shaking people's hearts. There was a . This sky-blasting cannon was indeed worthy of its reputation. It looked like it could blast a hole in the sky with one shot!
Ah San and Ah Si were delighted at the same time, for it turned out that this Thunderbolt was not only much taller than the steel fork, but also had thick arms and long legs, small and fierce eyes, and lastly - he was bald. This almost met all their requirements for a boxer. In their opinion, this man was beyond the reach of justice.
Most of the audience at the scene were seeing the Sky Cannon for the first time. Those who were making a fuss were unconsciously stunned by his appearance, and the whole venue was silent for a while.
Seeing that the atmosphere was ready, the host said loudly, "Both players have come on stage. Now let me introduce the odds: Steel Fork vs. Sky Cannon, the odds are seven to one! You heard it right, Steel Fork still maintains low odds in this match, you can still bet seven to one by buying Sky Cannon. Do you believe in your idol or believe that the foreign monk can chant the sutra? The decision is in your hands. Now start betting, and this game does not accept bets at halftime. Once the dust settles, everyone will wait to see who will win. The winner will go out to buy a young model, and the loser will do hard labor!"
People did not laugh at his old jokes. On the contrary, most people had their hands full in sweat. Steel Fork has a seven-to-one odds, which means that if you bet seven dollars on Steel Fork and he wins, you can only receive a bonus of one dollar. But betting on Thunder Cannon is completely different. As long as he wins, your wealth will increase sevenfold in an instant. Thunder Cannon is a "professional" and a star in the industry. His height and weight are enough to kill Steel Fork in seconds. In any regular competition, these two people will never meet each other in their weight class. Betting on Thunder Cannon is a win-win situation...
Liu Laoliu sneered and said, "The organizers really know how to play. If they sent an ordinary boxer to fight with a steel fork, no one would dare to take the risk no matter how high the odds were. This time they brought out the magic lamp and the devil to make people waver." As he said this, he glanced to the side and saw several glass houses with small staggered floors on a high ground. Figures were flashing inside, but the specific situation could not be seen clearly. They should be the so-called organizers.
Zhang Nianzu asked, "Will they fake a fight?"
Liu Laoliu said: "That's not the case. If they can even cheat in such a small event, how can they survive in the future?"
Zhang Nianzu murmured, "This match will be an important opportunity to determine Gangcha's identity, but how can we be absolutely sure?"
Liu Laoliu crumpled up the empty cigarette butt and threw it away, then said to the man behind him, "Pili, go buy a pack of cigarettes for Liu Ye—do you know what brand to buy?"
Xiahou Pili said: "No matter the brand, just buy the most expensive one."
"Go ahead."
Zhang Nianzu held Xiahou Pili's hand and whispered something to him.
Lei Tingting wondered, "Isn't there a cigarette shop here?"
Liu Laoliu said disdainfully: "Can anything here be real?"
Zhang Nianzu couldn't help but laugh, and thought of someone...
Security guards in uniform were taking bets everywhere, people took out their money with serious expressions, and the "know-it-all" tremblingly bet all his money on the rocket. It seemed that his love for the steel fork was not deep enough.
Ah San and Ah Si said dejectedly, "It seemed that the bald guy would definitely win, but unfortunately he has no money."
Lei Tingting smiled, took off the necklace from her neck and handed it to Asan.
Ah San was startled and said, "Auntie, this won't do."
Lei Tingting said: "Let's try our luck. I originally wore this for fun."
Seeing that Zhang Nianzu also smiled and did not object, Ah San gritted his teeth and gave the necklace to the security guard. The rule of this underground casino is to calculate the original price of the deposit at a discount. The security guard took the necklace, took a look at it, and calculated 1,500 yuan.
Ah San and Ah Si bought the goods and left, celebrating: "Finally, I can make back my money this time!"
Zhang Nianzu whispered to Lei Tingting: "Do you have anything else valuable?"
"No more." Lei Tingting asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Nianzu glanced at Ah San and Ah Si and muttered, "I just have a feeling that I can avoid losses only if I buy the opposite of what they do."
