Chapter 1031 First Place
There were a total of ten people participating in the competition. If everyone got five cards, then there should be only two waste cards that fell to the ground in the end, but now there are as many as nine waste cards on the ground, which proves that there are more than one waste cards. People who didn't get all five cards, and those who didn't get five cards, were out of the game directly, and no points were scored for this round.
Unlike the rules in the qualifiers, in the finals, everyone is not required to bet in each round, but a scoring system is adopted.
After the two rounds of competition in the morning and afternoon, the ten people will be ranked according to the number of points they have gained in the competition. Of course, the person with the most points will win the final victory, win the championship of this competition, and get all the prizes for participating in the competition. A total of 120 million U.S. dollars in gambling capital brought by the investors.
There are five rounds of Flying Stud in the morning, and each round is compared according to the five cards in the hand. The person with the highest card gets ten points, the second one gets nine points...and so on. And if the player did not grab enough five cards, or grabbed too many cards, or had a phenomenon of discarding cards in the middle, no points will be counted.
After the card grabbing is over, the next step is naturally to start the card competition. Everyone walked around a super-large gaming table, and under the supervision of the arbitrator, they put the five cards they had grabbed onto the table one by one. It's obvious at a glance.
When they put the cards in their respective hands on the table, those who watched the battle saw the result through the projection on the big screen, and couldn't help but gasped.
Among the ten contestants, five of them didn't grab enough five cards, and they were directly out of the game, and no points were scored for this round.
This has never happened before in previous games. After all, who can participate in this kind of competition, and can also go all the way to the final from among thousands of troops, who is not a person with superb gambling skills. Even if there are too many participants, if ten people grab cards together, they may not be able to get the cards they need, but basically everyone can at least keep their own cards when they can't get good cards. To qualify, collect five cards.
After all, even if you can't get a big card, but you can get a pair...or a relatively big oolong card, it doesn't necessarily mean you will fall to the last place. But if you grab less than five cards, you won't even be eligible to compare cards with others, and you will be out of the game... Therefore, under normal circumstances, in a game of ten players like this, usually at most one or two people fail to grab cards. Even five cards is too much. But this time, five people did not grab enough cards. This phenomenon is quite rare!
The caucasian man in his fifties glanced at the decks of cards on the gaming table, glanced at Xiang Tianze with a gloomy face, and then announced loudly: "This round of competition... the first place ... No. 7 contestant Gu Ziqiu! Second place... No. 5 contestant Julian... Third place... No. 1 contestant Hans..."
Following the announcement of the arbitration, the spectators were in an uproar again. Unexpectedly, in the first round of the competition, the one with the highest score was actually the number one dark horse in this competition—Chinese player Gu Ziqiu!
Although Xiang Tianze's performance in the three knockout rounds was very eye-catching, and in terms of odds on the outside handicap, Xiang Tianze's odds were also the lowest. But many people think that this is a fog deliberately released by the arbitration committee to mislead the betting players.
After all, if everyone can really guess who will win the final victory and win the championship, then why should their arbitration committee collect money? It's not bad if you don't pay for death! Therefore... In fact, in the process of each competition, the player who is basically favored by everyone and has the lowest odds is actually unlikely to win the championship in the end, and can only get a second place at most. Even fifth or sixth place is possible.
This has almost become habitual. Although many players who pay attention to the Gambling King Tournament may also discover the mystery of it, there is no way...it can't change anything because of it. Because in fact... the person with the lowest odds, the reason why the odds have reached this level is precisely because after the opening of the market, the amount of bets on this person is the largest, so the odds of this person will be higher. Hit lower.
And people are easy to follow blindly. The more people bet on a person, others will think that this person must be a big favorite, and the hope of winning the championship must be the greatest, so they will also bet one after another. Even if some lottery players are very rational and understand the tricks, even if the person with the lowest odds is excluded, it is difficult to distinguish which of the remaining players will win the championship.
Therefore, this part of people who can really see through often dare not make heavy bets lightly, which leads to the more popular people will become hotter and hotter in the end, but in the end they are often the least likely won the championship.
These people who can watch the game on the spot naturally understand the mystery inside, so they themselves often bet on the outside, but none of them will bet on the "fake favorite". But I didn't expect... In the first round of the finals, this oriental who they thought was a fake favorite, actually got a ten point first... This is not a good phenomenon!
On the contrary, most of the spectators are really optimistic about the No. 1 player Hans. This guy was the No. 1 player last year. However, in the process of this competition, this Hans has always been mediocre. It seems that in the three rounds of knockout rounds, he was lucky enough to reach the final.
But no one will think that Hans is really that bad. They naturally think that the reason why Hans is so bad is that it is used to paralyze the ordinary lottery players, making them think that Hans is no longer good, thus avoiding too many people. Betting on him, in this way, it will be convenient for the arbitration committee to support him to the position of champion, so as to make a big profit on the outside handicap.
This can be seen from the drawing of lots in the poker game in the morning, when a Flying Stud event was actually drawn. Because anyone who knows Hans knows... this event is Hans' strong point. Before he became a master of gambling, this guy was a high jumper, and even won a bronze medal in a certain Olympic Games.
Moreover, this guy already has an advantage in height, plus he is good at jumping, so... In this kind of Flying Stud competition, his advantage is too great. Because he can jump very high, he can start jumping into the air to grab cards before everyone else, so naturally he has a huge advantage in speed.
But who knew... In the first round of the competition, Hans actually lost... He didn't even get a pair of cards. Although he got five cards in the end, he only got one. A pair of oolong cards.
But fortunately, he was not the only one who got the own cards. Besides him, although there were two other people who barely grabbed enough five cards, the cards were all messed up, and they were all just a pair of own cards. And their oolong cards are still quite small, so Hans got a third place.
