Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 155: A Very Confident Way of Playing

"What you said makes sense, and it makes me excited, but you can't just talk and not practice. How about this, since you have no money, you tell me the champion number of the next game, and I won't treat you unfairly if I win."

"This..." The two of them were a little hesitant. If they fail, they will be in trouble. If they succeed, then this guy will get the advantage for nothing. It's so conflicting.

"It seems that you are just bragging. Forget it." Ma Qing said and was about to leave.

"Wait, who said we were bragging? It's just that what we calculated is a range. According to the odds, the next champion should be one of the four horses, 3, 5, 8, and 11. But the highest odds among these four horses are only 4, which means that even if you win, you will still lose 4. There's no need to buy it."

"Are you sure you can win?"

"It will definitely work." Sherikov was very confident in his algorithm, and Xie Liaosha was worried about the future living expenses. In this situation, in order to grab Ma Qing, a potential meal ticket, the two of them nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll believe you this time. As for what you said about losing money no matter how you buy, it's just that you don't know how to operate and you don't have business thinking." Ma Qing said confidently.

"This is clearly a loss-making business. You can't make any money at all. Numbers don't lie." When Sherikov saw that Ma Qing actually said that he couldn't make money because he didn't know how to operate, the nerdy temper flared up.

Xie Liaosha quickly covered his companion's mouth. Why offend a potential meal ticket at this time?

Xie Liaosha said quickly: "Dear sir, please don't argue with this stupid bear. If our prediction is correct, please give us a reasonable reward."

At the same time, he leaned close to Sherikov's ear and cursed in a low voice, "Shut up, damn it, you lost all your money and you don't know what to do for dinner. Don't offend our sponsor."

Ma Qing ignored these two intelligent but stupid idiots and searched for his target in the betting hall.

As a result, Ma Qing found a fat man who looked very annoying. Don't get me wrong, Ma Qing didn't know this person. The reason he said he was annoying was simply because he was standing next to a very amazing woman.

She wore a black fur coat and a bright red cheongsam, which was exquisitely tailored and perfectly outlined her graceful figure.

Her hair was wavy and swayed gently with every move she made. When Ma Qing saw this woman, the words "flaming red lips" came to his mind. It was too lustful.

"It's you, buddy. Who told you to make men jealous like this? Try to make some money to balance your luck. I'm doing this for your own good." Ma Qing muttered to himself and walked over with the two of them.

"Sir, here's the exclusive insider information, are you interested?" Ma Qing was selling to the fat man, but his eyes kept glancing at the woman next to him. The woman noticed it immediately and rolled her eyes at Ma Qing, saying, "That's powerful, I like it."

"Go, go, go, get out of the way. This is bullshit insider information. I'm a regular customer of this Jockey Club, how could I be fooled by you?" The fat man waved his hands as if to shoo away flies.

"That's not what I meant. How about this, to reassure you, I'll buy one first. If I win, we can talk about cooperation." Ma Qing began to set a trap.

The fat man sighed, "Brother, please don't use this trick, okay? This is a trick that others have not used for many years. Are you using it against me?"

The fat man looked at Ma Qing with contempt, then turned to the woman beside him and said in a flattering manner, "Ms. Qin, this Jockey Club is in trouble. All kinds of pigs, horses, cows and sheep are allowed in." "Boss, what you said is wrong. I see that you have the ability and I just want to cooperate with you. Why say hurtful things? You are so smart, so I certainly can't cheat you. Let's make a bet. Do you dare?" Ma Qing directly provoked her. This trick usually works, especially in front of women.

"Poujiezi, what kind of bet do you want to make? Just tell me and your brother Jie will take it." The fat man couldn't swallow this insult.

"Let's bet on the next champion. If I win, you lose 1000 to me. If I lose, I lose 1000 to you. How about that? It's a bargain for you. Do you dare?"

The fat man laughed, "I just told you your trick, and you still use it. There will be 20 horses in the next race. You only spend 5 yuan to buy horses that cost 100 yuan each, and you make 1000 yuan from me. You have a very good calculation, and you treat me like a coward."

Not only that, he turned to the beautiful woman beside him and said, "How could such a trick fool me, Ajie? Don't you think so, Miss Qin?"

Ma Qing didn't care about the woman's reaction and said directly: "How about this, I have 200 yuan in my hand. I originally had inside information, and I wanted to make more money, so I asked you to cooperate. I will bet 200 yuan. Now you have nothing to say, do you dare?"

The fat man thought about it and decided that he couldn't bet on the numbers if he was betting 200 yuan. No fool would spend 1000 yuan on the numbers for his own 4000 yuan. The chance of earning 1000 yuan was very high, but... "You only bet 200 yuan. If you lose, what will you use to compensate me? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ma Qing was stunned. Damn it, I forgot about this and there was a logical loophole.

Seeing that Ma Qing was speechless, the fat man was proud, "Why are you silent? Aren't you very capable? I want to see where you can get the 1000 yuan. But then again, if you can come up with 1000 yuan, what is your purpose in cooperating with me?"

At this moment, the fat man seemed to be possessed by Zhuge Liang. His fat face seemed to be glowing, causing the female companions beside him to look at him more, making him even more proud.

"I'll pay for it. What you guys said is very interesting." Zheng Yumian appeared beside the crowd at some point.

The fat man was suddenly speechless, looking at the group of people surrounding him, he really couldn't figure out their purpose. But when he saw Zheng Yumian taking out the money and swinging it in his hand, greed in his heart finally prevailed.

"Okay, I'll bet with you, but I have a request. Tell me the number now. If I win, I'll give you the money." The fat man decided to take a gamble.

"You wish. I'll tell you the number right now and you can buy it yourself. I'll lose a lot." Of course Ma Qing refused. This was not the way to play the game.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I'll go place the bets myself, and then I'll take the tickets and watch the race with you. When the results come out, I'll take out the tickets and check them with you. That's the only way."

"Okay, I accept it. Go place your bets and I'll wait for you here." The fat man thought that if he could earn 1000 yuan, why not do it.

Ma Qing ran to the betting window and bought four numbers, 3, 5, 8, and 11, for 4 yuan each, as single bets, and then put the four numbers in different pockets.

After Ma Qing placed his bet, he went to the stands with everyone else and waited for the horse race to begin.
