I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 10 Gambling Agreement
Going home this time, Joey Dorsey didn't just want to get acquainted with this home, he also had other purposes.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, is there any Chinese blood in our family?"

During the meal, Dorsey asked such a question seemingly unintentionally.

"Joy, what are you thinking? Our family is not an illegal immigrant, but a serious American!"

Mom curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

"I mean, going back a few generations, isn't there a little bit of Chinese blood?"

"There is no Chinese descent. If you keep chasing up, it will definitely be traced back to Africa!"

Mom answered angrily.

Dorsey was a little disappointed. Subconsciously, he still hoped that there would be more connections between his past life and this life.

As the soul of a Chinese man, the sense of national identity and pride is still very important.

At this time, Dad thought for a while and said, "My grandpa used to work in Chinatown, and that's where he met your grandma."

"Then grandma is Chinese?"

Joey Dorsey's eyes lit up.

Dad shrugged, "Your grandma passed away a long time ago. I haven't seen her, but she should not be Chinese. I don't know if she has Chinese ancestry."

However, these words were automatically filtered in Joey Dorsey's ears, because grandma might have Chinese descent.

In other words, I have 1/8 of Chinese blood!
This is great news, whether it is a sense of identity, or my future life and career planning!
After all, Joey Dorsey is no longer that ignorant black spiritual guy.

"Joy, why do you care about this?" Mom asked suspiciously.

"I……"

Joey was about to make up a lie, but was interrupted by Tom.

"Needless to say, it must be some Chinese girl that Joey has taken a fancy to! If you want to get close, let me tell you, cousin, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, those Asian girls will come over with a wave of their hands!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Haha, don't be embarrassed, I understand, hey, Joey, you are still a virgin!"

How could Tom be presumptuous in front of his mother, and shouted: "Shut up, Tom, don't say this in front of Daniel!"

The subject was dropped by Tom's gag.

After dinner, Dorsey again rejected Tom's offer to take him out to broaden his horizons, and instead called him to his room.

He has an important plan and needs Tom to help him carry it out.

"How much money can you get now?"

Dorsey asked straight to the point.

Tom was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect his cousin to ask such a question, but he immediately smiled:
"Oh, my dear little cousin, it looks like you've really grown up! What do you need money for? Picking up girls? Buying a car? Or something exciting? How much do you want? 5000 or 10000? As long as you let me Be your agent, and then obediently participate in this year's draft, as much as you want! Don't listen to your uncle and aunt, they are all old antiques, dead-brained..."

Dorsey waved his hand and interrupted his cousin's chatter, "I'm asking how much money you can get at most? No matter what means, all of them!"

"?"

Tom was stunned again. Today's cousin seems to be different from before.

"Ahem, what, 80 is not a problem, your cousin and I can be considered..."

"to be frank!"

"2!"

Dorsey was a little disappointed, but black people generally don't have the habit of saving, especially people like my cousin.

"If you borrow usury, how much can you get at most?"

Tom gasped, and looked at his cousin stupidly, quite sure that he was really different from usual.

"Tell me the truth."

"50...uh...30!"

It's still a bit small, but it doesn't matter, it's just an experiment for the first time.

"Cousin, I want you to buy the ball and the results of the NCAA Final Four."

Tom was relieved when he heard that, "Hey, what am I supposed to be! Does my cousin want to earn some pocket money?"

"It's not pocket money, I want you to borrow money and bet all 30 US dollars according to my instructions."

"Cousin...cousin, stop joking."

"I'm not kidding you! Don't you want to make a lot of money? The opportunity has come. I have played against these teams. I know who is strong and who is weak. Do as I say, and you will make a fortune!"

Tom rolled his eyes. What his cousin said made sense. As a player, he was more familiar with the reality of these teams than anyone else.

However, competitive sports is not mathematics, and it does not mean that the team that looks strong will win.

Especially the crazy youth team games like the NCAA are full of uncertainties. This is also the reason why March Madness is the hottest moment in the American gaming industry every year.

"Cousin, there is no guarantee of winning in gambling. I still advise you to just play and let it go. Don't take it too seriously. If you need money to spend, just tell your cousin."

"Can't you trust me? How about this, we can make an agreement, treat it as a gambling agreement:
If we win, we will split the money [-]/[-], I will give [-]% to you [-]%; if I lose, I will immediately announce my participation in the draft, and you will be my agent. As for the debts owed, I will fully compensate you.

You can make money in this business, how about it? "

Tom's eyes widened. Such a good business is like a pie in the sky!He wasn't worried that his cousin's words wouldn't count. After all, both uncle and aunt were here, and $30 wasn't an astronomical figure.

But, why did my cousin dare to do this?Did he really have some inside information?And why doesn't he do it himself, and insists on getting a share of it?
As if reading his mind, Dorsey explained:
"I'm an NCAA player, and I'm going to participate in the NBA draft in the future. I don't want to cause trouble; besides, I don't have any start-up funds now, so you have to find a way to solve the money matter. If you want to do it, give me a good word!"

In fact, Joey Dorsey has more important reasons not to say,
As a time traveler, it is not too difficult to make money, but Dorsey has no desire to become a super rich man.

As for money, enough is enough, a little more is better, but if there is too much, it may cause trouble.

The purpose of Joey Dorsey looking for Tom is not just to buy a ball, but a test to see if Tom is reliable.

In his plan, there are still many things in the future, and it is not convenient for him to come forward, so he needs a "white glove" to handle it for him.

Tom gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Okay, do it! But you have to keep your word!"

"Don't worry, you hurry up to raise money. In the first game, Ohio State University will play against Georgetown University. Ohio will win! I will let you know about the results of the game after that."

The leader of Georgetown University is Roy Hibbert, a center who was later selected to the All-Star bench twice. At that time, he was regarded as Oden's biggest opponent in the NCAA. Ohio State University.

Therefore, this ball will be a very anxious game in the eyes of the bookmaker, and the odds are not much different. The winning odds of Ohio State University are 1:1.75, and Georgetown University is 1:96.

If you bet $30 and bet all-in on Ohio State University, you can get 52.5 in the end. After deducting usury fees, you can make a net profit of about $20!
After dismissing his cousin, Joey Dorsey had time to take a good look at his room.

The room was immaculately clean, spotless, obviously mum cleaned herself a lot.

The posters on the wall were of Karl Malone and Charles Barkley, fierce insiders.

Joey Dorsey opened his closet and found a lot of childhood toys, including a lot of plush dolls!
It seems that this seemingly fierce big man once had the heart of a teenager!

Joey Dorsey threw the doll Elmo (classic Sesame Street doll) on the bed and decided to sleep with it tonight to find out how this body felt when he was a child.

Sure enough, he slept very soundly that night.

The next day, while chatting with his father, Joey Dorsey casually asked which company his father worked for.

"My firm is a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers."

Joey Dorsey was taken aback, only to realize that he had never had anything to do with his father's work unit before!
"Dad, hurry up and submit your resume to another company!"

"What nonsense, our parent company is one of the four largest investment banks in the United States."

Joey Dorsey is also very helpless. He can't say that the subprime mortgage crisis affecting the world is about to break out, and the fuse is the bankruptcy of your company.

Alas, it doesn't matter anymore.The company went bankrupt, so let Dad rest. Anyway, as a time traveler, I won't let my family worry about making a living.

Besides, I should enter the NBA next year!
