Can a friend who is a collector give me a recommendation ticket?
Gambling in Hong Kong has a history of more than 100 years. It was introduced from England in 1841. But at that time, it was purely horse racing and not a tool for gambling. Until the end of the 19th century, horse racing slowly changed into gambling. At first, it was only between jockeys and jockeys, or between horse owners and horse owners, and the wager was only for dinner or a bottle of champagne.
Hong Kong people love to gamble. Everyone knows that Hong Kong people love to gamble. Most tourists who come to Hong Kong will go to Happy Valley Racecourse or Sha Tin Racecourse to experience the excitement and excitement of the race. The racing season runs from September to about June.
Today was the last day of this season's horse racing.
The sun was shining brightly above their heads, but it could not stop the passionate hearts of the Hong Kong gamblers. As Sister Ping had to work at the ballroom at night, only Ah Xing, Uncle Da, Brother Sheng, Sixth Aunt, and Ye Xuan came.
The moment Uncle Da entered, he led the group to buy some riding manuals as if he knew the way. Then, they went to the outdoor stands outside.
To be specific, they were roughly divided into Single Win, Position, Consecutive Wins, Position Q, Single T, Triple Lottery, 3T, Three Treasures, Six Hoop Lottery, and so on. Among them, Single Win was the easiest. That was, all one had to do was buy the horse that was ranked first in the race; Position Q was the easiest; all one had to do was buy one of the horses that was ranked in the top three; and the most difficult was probably 3T. To buy 3T, one had to guess the top three horses in the third, fourth, and sixth races. There were a total of nine horses, and the horse ticket had to be filled out before the third race started. It was extremely difficult to buy the horse, but it was precisely because of its difficulty that the odds were also very high, usually hundreds of thousands of times. In other words, even if you only bought 10 dollars, as long as you won 3T, you would be able to get millions of dollars in prize money.
As soon as they entered the balcony, Aunt Liu and Brother Sheng separated from Ye Xuan and the others. It was said that Brother Sheng knew a horse owner and wanted to find out some insider information.
"How was this match?" Uncle Da held a pair of binoculars and asked Ah Xing as he observed the horses in the racecourse.
Ye Xuan was also holding a pair of binoculars, but he was only looking. As he had never studied horses before, he could only see which horse was prettier and which horse was more handsome.
Ah Xing frowned as he looked at the horses in the racecourse. After observing for a long time, he said, "Horse number three doesn't seem to be in the mood. Horse number four seems to have some problems with his lungs. Horse number five and six are only chatting. Horse number seven is the most ambitious. Let's buy Horse number seven!"
Pfft!
After Ah Xing said that, the two gamblers sitting in front laughed. One of them pointed at the riding manuals in his hands and said, "Are you kidding me? How can Horse number seven work?"
"F * ck you. Are you fooling me? How can you tell if Horse number seven is ambitious or not? "Uncle Da said angrily when he heard Ah Xing's crazy words.
"Horse number seven. All the horse critics in Hong Kong said it's not possible!" The other gambler laughed as he held the riding manuals.
"Damn it. If horse critics were accurate, would there be a need to write newspapers? We would be rich long ago. Ah Hsuan, Ah Xing, let's go! " Uncle Da glared at the two people who were gloating in front of him. He gave Ye Xuan and Ah Xing a look before getting up and walking towards the main hall.
"That's right. You are the smartest!" The gambler said sarcastically when he saw Uncle Da and Ah Xing leaving.
The three of them walked out of the balcony and stopped in front of the main hall. Uncle Da suddenly sighed and said, "Sigh, I'm not blaming you. Judging a horse isn't the same as judging a mahjong game. However, do you have to be so ridiculous? Why did you have to pick Horse number seven out of all the choices?"
Ah Xing was just about to say something when a few people walked past him. He didn't manage to say anything.
"Then, don't run around. Let me place my bet first!" Uncle Da pointed at the riding manuals in his hands and said to Ye Xuan with a smile, "Ah Hsuan, do you want to buy a few bets?"
At least after Ye Xuan bought those gifts in the morning, Uncle Da became closer to him. This was all thanks to those gifts. "Uncle Da, you go first. I'll catch up later."
"Alright, but be quick. The horse race is about to start. If you don't know anything, you can come and ask me!" Uncle Da reminded him warmly. He then turned and walked towards the betting hall.
"Alright. Thank you, Uncle Da." Ye Xuan nodded and smiled.
"Hey, Uncle, don't you trust me?" Ah Xing called out to Uncle Da from behind, feeling wronged as he watched Uncle Da walk away.
"Ah Xing, are you serious about buying Horse number seven?" After Uncle Da left, Ye Xuan patted Ah Xing's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Brother Xuan, do you want to buy it too? You trust me? "Ah Xing looked at Ye Xuan in surprise.
"Yes, I trust you." Ye Xuan nodded and smiled.
After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ah Xing was touched. He didn't expect his third uncle to not trust him. However, Ye Xuan trusted him. He nodded heavily and said, "It's true. If Horse number seven doesn't win, I'll chop off my head and let you sit on it."
"Heh, you don't have to be so exaggerated. Wait for a while, I'll be right back!" Ye Xuan patted Ah Xing's shoulder and turned to walk towards the betting hall.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Ah Xing's favorable impression of you + 20. Currently, Ah Xing's favorable impression of you is 80%. "
"Ding! Congratulations on completing the side mission. You have obtained at least 80% favorable impression of the main character, Ah Xing. Reward: 3,000 cultivation points! "
Ye Xuan, who was walking into the betting hall, stopped in his tracks. He didn't expect to complete this side mission so easily. Of course, this was all thanks to Ah Xing's simple character. If it was someone else, they wouldn't have been able to complete this mission so easily.
There were a total of 12 horses participating in every horse race. Ye Xuan looked at the screen hanging in the betting hall and realized that the odds of betting on Horse number seven winning the race was as high as 1: 35.
"It seems that many people don't think highly of Horse number seven." After looking at the odds, Ye Xuan shook his head. After that, he walked to the counter and took out a hundred thousand dollars. He said calmly, "Horse number seven, winning alone. I'll buy two bets. Each bet is 50,000 dollars."
A few gamblers who were queuing up to buy horses heard Ye Xuan buying the horse number seven that no one thought highly of. One of them gloated and said, "Look, another person with a lot of money is here."
"He looks like a mainlander. Maybe he hasn't even read the classics of horse racing before. I'm going to lose to him!"
"Since he's so rich, he should just give it to me!"
Ignoring the gossip of the people around him, Ye Xuan took his ticket and walked out of the betting hall. He saw Ah Xing still standing there and Uncle Da had yet to return. He didn't know where he went to watch the horse race.
"Ah Xing!" Ye Xuan walked back and smiled while holding the ticket in his hand.
"Brother Xuan, why are you so fast? I don't know where my uncle went. Did you see him when you went in? "Ah Xing smiled.
"I only bought number seven, so I need to be fast. Uncle Da might be reading the classics of horse racing in the betting hall." Ye Xuan waved the ticket.
Ah Xing stretched out his hand and took the ticket. When he saw the number on the ticket, his eyes widened, "What? Brother Xuan, you bought two bets of fifty thousand dollars for number seven?"
"Yes, I saw that the odds for number seven were high, so I bought more!" Ye Xuan smiled.
Ah Xing didn't think so. He thought that Ye Xuan bought so many bets because he trusted him. At that moment, he was so touched that he didn't know what to do.
Bang!!!
A gunshot was heard and the horse race began. All the gamblers stood up excitedly and cheered for the horses that they thought highly of. In an instant, it was very lively.
"Number seven! Number seven! Number seven! … "
Although Ah Xing did not buy it, he looked even more nervous than Ye Xuan, who had bought it. He clenched his fists tightly, gnashed his teeth, and stared at the No.7 horse in the racetrack.
On the racing track, the situation changed. The number seven horse that was initially looked down upon by many suddenly caught up. At the last moment, it overtook the number six horse that everyone thought highly of and rushed to the finishing line.
"Oh! Number seven, number seven, Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan, you won! You've won the bet! "Ah Xing cheered as if he had won the bet.
