Chapter 1327 Gambling War (2)

What's wrong, you're not the leader?But to collect money to serve others, he still said with a smile: "We are first to determine ten players, and these players are all brought by gamblers. The gamblers placed their bets, and then they gave an order, and these players immediately rushed into the stables. "

"Horse ring? Do you want to see who gets on the horse faster?"

Geralt frowned, everyone felt that this bet was weird.

"Hehe, there are hundreds of horses in the stables. The contestants are going to choose horses. After the horses are selected, it depends on who will reach the finish line first."

"Hundreds of horses? Horse selection? If you choose a good horse, then there is no need to compete?" Sun Jie said in surprise.

Wei Tang laughed and said, "The quality of the horses in the stables is not much different. Of course, there are slightly better horses, but it is not so easy to choose among hundreds of horses. If you are looking for a good horse, you may not find it. Already riding an ordinary horse to the finish line.

"Actually, a good horse is not important, what matters is who is the first to get out of the ring. Generally speaking, the first person to get out of the ring is the winner. The odds of this kind of gambling are [-] to [-]."

"What about life and death?" Geralt nodded.

"There are two types of life-and-death fights. One is human-animal fighting. The rule is that the casino randomly selects one of a hundred slaves to fight three wild wolves. Gamblers can beat wild wolves or slaves.

"The other is that twenty slaves are divided into two groups to fight each other, and the group that survives in the end wins. The odds of both are [-] to [-]."

"Isn't this the arena? Where did you learn it from?"

Dio asked a little puzzled, and Weitang smiled.

"It's not exactly a gladiatorial arena, this kind of life-and-death fight can also be sent by the gambler himself, but if the gambler participates in the human-animal fight, there will be six wild wolves, and the odds will become [-] to [-].

"Of course, if you think you are good, you can also ask for twelve or eighteen wild wolves, and the odds will become four to one and eight to one, but there are very few candidates for the latter two.

"As for fighting slaves, slaves should be in groups of ten, while gamblers can only be in groups of five."

"How come the gambler's participation has doubled several times?"

"Hehe, since the gamblers dare to send people to participate, they must be sure. Of course, the casino must increase the difficulty, otherwise, wouldn't it be sure to lose money?

"However, if you are really strong, you will earn a lot of money, because the casino has a rule that if the same person who ends up betting on consecutive fights, the odds will be doubled.

"For example, after you kill six wild wolves in the next round, you don't rest, and then continue to gamble. If the number of wild wolves increases to eight, the odds are doubled and the odds are doubled. In the third round, the number of wild wolves is increased to twelve, and the odds are four to one. In the fourth round, the wild wolves increased to 26, and the odds were [-] to [-]. In the fifth round, the wild wolves were increased to [-], and the odds were [-] to [-]. It is said that there is no sixth round."

"Wow, this is really profitable!" Vijay looked excited.

Wei Tang said with a smile, "Hey, don't think it's so beautiful, this kind of gambling has only happened three times, and the most powerful one came to the third round, but all three of them were eaten raw by wild wolves in the end.

"The wild wolves in our prairie are fierce, let alone specially trained by casinos... You know, ordinary people can't even deal with a wild wolf."

"Are there better odds?"

Dio was a little curious, he wished he could pay [-] for one, so that once he won, it would be enough for him.

"Yes, why not. What I just said is a double bet. There is also a double bet, that is, in the first round of fighting twelve wild wolves, one pays four; in the second round of fighting 24 wild wolves, one pays eight; Three rounds of fighting 84 wild wolves, one pays sixteen, the fourth round fights 160 eight wild wolves, one pays 32, there is no fifth round.”

Dio and the others were dumbfounded. Although the odds reached 32, there were 160 or eight wolves. Not to mention so many, even more than 20 wolves could eat up people to the bone.

"Can you let go after half the bet?" Sun Jie was curious.

Weitang laughed and said, "How can it be so good? Once you start a gamble or double the bet, you can't stop until the end. Otherwise, wouldn't many people come to make a fortune? So there are still people who try the gamble all these years. But absolutely no one is trying to double down, it’s definitely not human.”

To this, everyone nodded in agreement. This kind of gambling is partly participated by one person. Think about the situation where one person is facing more than 100 ferocious wild wolves, and they all swallow their saliva involuntarily. Who would overwhelm others in this kind of gambling ah.

After the introduction, Wei Tang asked Zhao Hu, "My lord, shall we bet on a horse race or a life-and-death fight?"

"Shall we go to the life-and-death fight?" Zhao Hu, who had made up his mind, didn't even think about it.

Geralt immediately said to Zhao Hu: "My lord, neither of these two gambling methods can be effective for us, so give us a little chips and let us go to the internal casino to be effective, although there are both limited odds and low odds. , but a few people can still make a fortune together.”

Those gambling masters also hurriedly nodded in response. After knowing what they gambled in the casino outside, Geralt, who claimed to be a master of gambling, was dejected.

These two gambling methods basically rely on their own combat power to win, and they cannot display their gambling skills at all.

Zhao Hu nodded: "How much?"

Geralt pointed at the head: "Everyone has 120 chips, let's give [-]."

After Zhao Hu signaled, Dio took out 120 chips from the Locke brothers who were responsible for carrying the money, and handed them to Geralt and other gambling masters.

In this way, Geralt took five gambling masters and a group of gamblers who prefer regular gambling tools to the inner casino.

And the rest of them, of course, followed Zhao Hu to gamble with life and death.

Wei Tang led the way and said: "The casino for horse racing is outside the market, and the life-and-death fight is inside the market. Go this way."

Under the leadership of Wei Tang, the crowd heard a loud noise from a distance, and then saw a camp surrounded by fences and guarded by hundreds of cavalry with bows and sabers at the gate.

Before entering the camp, Zhao Hu and others handed over their weapons and horses. Wei Tang explained that this was a measure to prevent gamblers from losing their eyes and using knives. At first, the others were somewhat reluctant, but under Zhao Hu's order, they still Hand over your weapon obediently.

When entering the camp, the first thing that catches the eye is a large group of people standing on a three to four meter high circular wooden platform, facing the center and shouting desperately.

Wei Tang pointed to the wooden platform and introduced: "This is the viewing platform, which can hold 5000 people at the same time. It is divided into five floors, and the first floor is lower from the outside to the inside. , will not be blocked by the people in front, and can see the situation of the arena clearly.

"The center of the viewing platform is an arena with a diameter of [-] meters and is sunk more than three meters into the ground. There are one-meter inwardly sloping densely-sealed fences on the sides of the arena, and wild wolves will never be able to jump out."

Then he pointed to the left side of the viewing platform and said, "That's the place to bet and exchange."

There is a row of dozens of counters surrounded by fences. There are two strong guards in front of each counter, and behind the counter are a clerk and two guards standing behind him with weapons on their waists.

When Weitang was about to take Zhao Hu and others to the viewing platform, a gong sounded, and the shouters were immediately divided into two types, one was crying in frustration, or cursing loudly, and the other was all jumping and joyful. Shouting, it seems, is the difference between winners and losers.

The winner was determined, and the crowd dispersed at once. The winners, with all smiles on their faces, swarmed towards the dozens of counters, bills flying in their hands.

"Hey, these bills have roots, and you can change them wherever you bet. Remember the counter when you place your bets." Wei Tang reminded.

People like Zhao Hu and the others who are a bit knowledgeable are silently watching those documents that are quick to exchange chips. It seems that horse robbers are really good at it. These skilled documents are not so easy to train.

What makes Zhao Hu and the others frown even more is that these documents look like grassland people, and they don't look like they were taken captive, that is to say, they were cultivated by the grassland itself.

What does this mean?
You must know that the allied countries of Feimu Banner have no written language, and it is very troublesome to use the written language of other countries to cultivate local talents.

The crowd who exchanged chips left quickly, and these people swarmed to the right discussing in twos and threes, and Wei Tang explained: "My lord, they are all going to observe the next betting object, how about we go and see?"

Of course, there is no need to talk nonsense. Zhao Hu and his party immediately rushed to an open space, and saw six wild wolves imprisoned in six wooden cages. Seeing those tall wild wolves, they kept biting with sharp claws and teeth Seeing the ferocity of the wooden cage, Zhao Hu and others gasped.

However, those gamblers were enthusiastically commenting on the six wild wolves. Of course, the expressionless, tall and strong man next to him who was about to fight was unavoidable to be groped here and there by those gamblers. Bundle.

When Zhao Hu and his group, especially Dio and Sun Jie, couldn't help but want to go closer and observe carefully, Zhao Hu said something to Wei Tang with a natural expression, which immediately made the two of them jump up in panic .

"How can I go down to gamble?"

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Wei Tang was taken aback for a moment, and after a while to react, he first glanced at the ring on Zhao Hu's hand, and then asked suspiciously: "My lord, do you mean that you are going to gamble in person? "

"No! You can't take risks yourself, my lord!"

Dio, Sun Jie and others immediately objected, and the servants who followed immediately knelt down, and the centurions said excitedly: "Master, please let the servants serve you!"

After Zhao Hu ordered his servants to stand up, he said with a smile, "I'm not boasting, my military strength should be the most powerful among you."

Hearing this, everyone opened their mouths to say something, but the stupid brothers Locke and Luo Fei nodded and said: "That's right, both of us can't beat the lord together, the lord is the strongest."
