Marvel's Hogwarts Wizards

Chapter 555 Jerry's Hidden Secret (3rd)

"Of course, Ludo, what are the odds now?"

Seeing Ludo coming, Arthur was immediately interested.

Ludo took his big bag full of Galleons and explained with a smile:

"Now the odds of the two teams are 1.5. It is generally believed that the Irish team has a better chance of winning. If you choose the England team, you can get more if you win.

But for who caught the Snitch first, most people chose Jerry Kamen.

Of course, there are options with higher odds, that is, the time Jerry Kamen catches the Snitch, 20 times in five minutes, 10 times in 30 minutes, twice in an hour, and an hour later"

In a normal international Quidditch match, the Golden Snitch is usually released half an hour after the game, and Jerry will choose when to catch the Golden Snitch according to the scoring situation on the field.

It doesn't matter if England have the upper hand.

If you are at a disadvantage, it will be determined according to the difference in points, but generally it is between one hour and two hours. Ludo's odds are calculated based on Jerry's usual performance.

According to his many years of experience and the level of the Irish team, the possibility of Jerry catching the Snitch within an hour must be very small, so he set the odds very high.

"I bet a Galleon on England winning, and a Galleon on Jerry catching the Snitch in an hour and a half."

Arthur thought for a while, and took out two Galleons.

Seeing that there were only two Galleons, Ludo showed a look of disappointment, but soon regained his interest, and turned to look at Jerry and the others.

"Very good, very good... Anyone else want to bet?"

At this time, Jerry was wearing a mask, and Ludo did not recognize him.

"They're too young to gamble."

Before Arthur finished speaking, George and Fred took out all their savings:

"We bet thirty-seven gold Galleons, fifteen silver Sickles, and three copper Knuts. You can buy Jerry within an hour."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Ludo, we need to discuss it first."

Jerry interrupted suddenly at this time, and then pulled everyone into the magic tent, leaving only Ludo standing in a mess outside the magic tent.

"What's wrong Jerry?"

Arthur asked doubtfully, holding two gold Galleons that he hadn't had time to hand over.

And everyone else looked at Jerry at the same time.

"Do you want to make a lot of money?"

Jerry looked at everyone with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Jerry, what's the big one?"

George and Fred became interested in an instant. The two of them have always wanted to open their own magic joke shop after graduation, so they are very interested in making money.

I just bet all my belongings in gambling, and I want to make a small profit. After winning, my assets can be doubled immediately.

"Actually, I never told you that not only in school games, I can catch the Snitch immediately after it is released, even in World Cup games, I can do the same.

It's just that, in order to prevent the game from ending so quickly every time, causing the rules to be changed in future Quidditch matches, I will deliberately slow down the time to catch the Golden Snitch. "

Jerry slowly revealed the truth that had been hidden for a long time.

And everyone who heard Jerry's explanation instantly petrified on the spot.

Ron, who pays attention to the game every day, keeps muttering:

"No wonder, no wonder you can turn the tide of the battle every time at the most critical moment, it turns out that it is like this, oh, Merlin, this is simply too much"

Before Ron finished speaking, the Weasley twins laughed excitedly and said:

"This is simply fantastic!"

Because they already understood what Jerry meant, that is, to buy all the money on the bet that he can catch the Golden Snitch within five minutes, and then his assets can be doubled twenty-fold in an instant!

At that time, they will be able to get more than 700 gold Galleons.

"Jerry, what you said is true!"

Arthur was also excited now.

Although Percy has graduated now, their family still has four children studying at Hogwarts, and the shopping list sent by the school this year also includes a banquet dress.

Four sets of banquet dresses, that's not a small expense.

Therefore, their family's current funds are quite short, and his wife, Mrs. Molly, has decided to use second-hand cheap dresses to make ends meet.

However, if what Jerry said is true, then their family's assets will increase twenty-fold in an instant, and all problems will be solved by then.

"Don't worry, I'm not joking about this kind of thing."

Jerry nodded in a very positive tone.

If other people said this, Arthur might not believe it, but it came from the steady and mature Jerry. He left a sentence to go home to get the money, and then disappeared in place with Apparition.

"We also need to leave for a while!"

Bill and Charlie looked at each other, and also disapparated to get the money.

Both of them have been working outside for a few years, so they naturally have some savings. How can they miss such a great event at this time.

As it happens, if their assets can be increased by twenty times this time, they will have enough money to marry a wife and start a family in the future.

"Unfortunately, I only have one silver Sickle."

Ron looked disappointed.

"I have two."

Ginny and Ron are brothers and sisters.

The two are not like the Weasley brothers. They often earn some money by selling gadgets they invented at school. Their mother, Mrs. Mollie, is responsible for their study and daily necessities.

So naturally there is not much pocket money.

Even the three silver Sickles added up in my pocket now were given extra by my mother, Molly, because I was going to watch the Quidditch World Cup.

As for Harry, he wasn't as excited as the others.

After all, his parents left him a huge legacy, and he is not in short supply of Galleons.

"I also have a hundred gold Galleons to vote for."

After Arthur, Bill, and Charlie left, Hermione seemed to think of something, and took out the bag in her room. Her father taught her to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy one hundred Galleons for school supplies.

When Harry and Ron heard the words, they revealed unbelievable expressions.

They thought that according to Hermione's character, she would tell them that gambling is not good and that they shouldn't gamble, but they didn't expect to get involved.

In this regard, Ginny, who has a super high EQ at a young age, is not so surprised.

Because she knows that it is not normal for a girl in love to act abnormally.

If Jerry wasn't here, and the content of the betting had nothing to do with Jerry, then even if she knew she would definitely win, Hermione probably wouldn't participate in the betting, and would even teach Harry and Ron a few words like a teacher.

It's a pity that now it's all about Jerry, so naturally the result will be different.

When you truly love someone, everything about him will be beautiful.
