Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

In August, early autumn, the two-month polo competition officially began in the Free Trade Zone. In order to make the competition fair and just, the three parties jointly made the following regulations: each team can select 15 players, and the starting lineup cannot be changed.

Only the top three teams have the right to re-select teammates. Then, nine polo teams appeared one after another.

It is not known how Dali and Xianbei organized and assigned their teams. Anyway, on the Pingzhou side, there was a third team composed of the first team of Jintai Army, the first team of Sun Family Army and the soldiers from other military regions in Pingzhou.

What everyone could see was that almost all the young generals from the Dali, Xianbei and Pingzhou armies appeared in the polo team.

Moreover, the players of the polo team were all strong and tall, and all of them were good players in the army. Before the polo match started, the Qingyanxu Sanzhou Free Trade Zone was already crowded with people and very lively.

People from the Huangshang Group also came. Liao Xuewang, Qiao Xitong and Hu Jiangyi came with their capable subordinates.

In fact, they were not the only ones who came. The people and herdsmen in Dali and Xianbei lived a much harder life than the people in Pingzhou. Hearing that it was easy to find work in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone, many young and strong men and women came here.

This is quite normal, because now almost all the hot money has flowed into the Tri-State Free Trade Zone, and if you want to make money, you have to go there.

The Three-State Free Trade Zone was intentionally or unintentionally built into a siphon point, and countless ordinary people relied on it.

Where there is a polo match, there are naturally people who bet on it. In the free trade zone, after the nine polo teams made their debut, various handicaps appeared.

It was crucial to decide which two teams would start the first game of the polo match. After consultation among the three parties, Dali, Pingzhou and Xianbei each sent a team, and the result of the draw would determine which two teams would start the game.

The result of the draw was that the Jintai Army of Pingzhou would play against the team led by Xianbei Tuoba Yu. In the first game, all the seats in the stadium were full.

The revenue from ticket sales alone made the Tri-State Free Trade Zone a lot of money. Guo Wanli spent a lot of money to buy a seat with the best view.

As soon as he sat down, his friends asked him,

"Have you placed your bets?"

"I placed a bet. This is only the first game after all, so I didn't dare to buy too much."

"If you don't buy it, someone will. As far as I know, someone has invested heavily in Tuoba Yu's Xianbei team to win." Guo Wanli nodded when he heard this.

"By the way, which team do you bet on to win?" Guo Wanli didn't reply, but an acquaintance next to him interrupted.

"Isn't this nonsense? We must buy a Xianbei team!"

"The Xianbei Tatars all grew up on horseback and are good at horsemanship, so they have a good chance of winning."

"But Pingzhou's cavalry is not weak either. Otherwise, how could they defeat the Xianbei army time and time again?"

"Haha. I admit that Pingzhou's weapons are powerful, but if you insist that Pingzhou's cavalry is more powerful than the Xianbei army, that's a bit far-fetched." The odds can reflect the probability of the two teams winning or losing.

The odds for betting on the Xianbei team are low because everyone is betting on it to win. The odds for betting on the Jintai Army team are high because everyone thinks it will lose.

"Although I am a Han Chinese and I really hope that the Jintai Army team will win, we have to be realistic, right? After all, we are betting real money."

"But I'm a little worried. Will someone cheat here? For example, someone who can win deliberately loses the game just to bet on the handicap?" Guo Wanli retorted subconsciously.

"Impossible! Every game has a lot of stakes. The whole team will definitely give their all in the game. There is no chance of showing weakness." Whether it is Dali, Xianbei or Pingzhou, the relationship between the three parties is not close, so there is no need to play a friendly match.

Outside the polo field, the team led by Wu Ren, Ji Wuyin and Gu Huaisheng were arranging people to place bets after careful calculations.

Soon, the first polo match kicked off. At the same time, this match also refreshed the audience's understanding of polo matches.

The audience went from being extremely angry at the beginning to being stunned and expressionless at the end.

This polo match was very different from the ones they had seen before. Friendship first and competition second, or the enemy and us playing tepidly, did not exist.

In the current game, everyone is just about to draw knives like on the battlefield. In fact, it is not the fault of the Jintai Army team, but the Xianbei people who were the first to lose their martial ethics.

The Xianbei team was the first to use despicable means, sometimes even resorting to the principle of Tian Ji's horse racing, making both their own team and the enemy team commit fouls at the same time in order to eliminate the opponent.

In the first half, Chen Jinlong, who was weaker in skills, was eliminated by the opponent, and the Xianbei team led by Tuoba Jin took the lead.

At the beginning of the second half, Qin Sheng organized the serve. With just one look from him, the tacit understanding cultivated over the years in the army made all the players excited.

When the second half started, the Xianbei players looked at them with provocation. The Jintai players looked at them with a blank expression, "Okay, okay, you want to play like this, right?"

So in the second half, the two sides fought back and forth. These players are all skilled in martial arts and do not commit fouls unless necessary. Except for the fact that they did not fight on the spot, the polo match was as fierce as a battlefield.

The audience felt like they were watching a close-up fight, and it was exciting and enjoyable. Everyone watched intently, and felt that the tickets were worth it.

The guys couldn't go to the battlefield, but they could come to watch the polo match, all the same. The result of the match was unexpected. In the end, the Jintai Army team won the first match with one more point than the Xianbei team, and took away the corresponding reward.

In the Xianbei team, several people were carried or supported off the field. Some of them were very cruel.

Because the first game was so exciting, the tickets for the following games were sold out immediately. Meanwhile, in the main city of Qingzhou District, the team led by Wu Ren, Ji Wuyin, and Gu Huaisheng were also calculating their profits this time.

In fact, it's not just them. People like the Huangshang Group, Wang Yun and others, it can be said that countless people are redeeming their prizes.

Wu Ren smiled and said,

"These odds were initially set when the nine teams made their debut. I believe the odds will change later."

"That's right." I believe that after a few games like this, different payout ratios will appear between teams and between different games.

The odds for the first game today are as follows: First game: Bet on Xianbei team to win, if you guess correctly, you will get three to one.

If you bet on the Jintai Army team to win, you will get 5 to 1. If the two teams tie, you will get 3 to 1. They bought all the odds before, so even if the Xianbei team wins or the two teams tie, they will only break even.

But if the Jintai Army team is really a dark horse and beats the Xianbei, then they will make money.

Of course, there is no such a sure win situation in the current handicap, so faced with a variety of odds, they follow the governor's instructions and cross-arrange to buy corresponding positions according to different game matches and the payout ratios given by different audiences.

In order to achieve this worst-case scenario, we will not lose too much, which is different from other teams seeking maximum profit.

In the words of the governor, their strategy of sacrificing maximum profit and multiplying the amount by hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions on the basis of steady progress is called hedging.

The safety of the principal is very important. Only after the safety of the principal is ensured can we make money. This is the governor's requirement and also the purpose they adhere to in participating in this event.

Qingzhou District had the best infrastructure and could accommodate the most people. The two-month polo match was enough to make Pingzhou rich in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment, so they didn't have to rack their brains to gamble on the game.
