Chapter 77 Gambler Psychology
Everyone in prison is special, everyone has their own story, if life is ordinary, then they will not go to prison.
Especially the prisoners in Pelican Bay Prison, because this prison is the prison with the highest security level in the United States, because it is the prison for the most dangerous repeat offenders.
Chris stood up and left, while Yang Yi turned his attention to the other prisoners.
Here, no one is a good stubble, no one can be ignored, maybe a seemingly ordinary prisoner, who behaves cautiously on weekdays, but who knows what terrific crimes he has committed outside? .
Danny said that he lacks a sense of urgency, and the environment he lived in was too comfortable, so it is necessary to find a truly suitable environment for him to reform him. Now, Yang Yi finally understands that he must guard against being stabbed to death all the time. What is the sense of urgency?
Yang Yi has always been very nervous. Since he entered the prison, his mood has never been relaxed. He was forced to shift from thinking about trivial matters such as what to eat every day to how to survive and how to deal with every enemy that appeared. In this case, even if he wanted to relax, he couldn't do it.
Now, everyone thinks that Yang Yi is doomed, and it can be seen from the gambling odds that a pack of cigarettes can only be paid for one cigarette, which is no different from no odds.
Seeing that Buddy was still registering the bet, Yang Yi suddenly felt a little irritable. He took the initiative to challenge the boxing champion, but he didn't want to die.
At this moment, Yang Yi found that the crowd around Buddy started arguing, but they didn't want to fight, they just started arguing.
It seemed that Buddy made a compromise, and then the crowd around him cheered for a while, and then they were just arguing around Buddy, but the scene of no one betting changed quickly, and Buddy finally started to take a pen and write on the notebook. Take a quick note.
Yang Yi thought it was very interesting. Looking at the faces of the prisoners in the prison and this unique ecological circle, he found it very interesting.
Buddy was busy for a while, and then he suddenly parted from the crowd and walked towards Yang Yi.
Buddy sat directly next to Yang Yi and said, "Dude, do you have anything to say?"
Yang Yi smiled and said: "I have nothing to say, oh, help me to place a bet, my money can buy about four packs of cigarettes, and I put four packs of cigarettes on myself."
Buddy immediately took a pencil and began to write in the notebook, muttering: "3387 bet four boxes to bet on yourself to win, the odds are ten to one, okay, write it down."
Yang Yi said with a smile: "No, isn't it twenty for one?"
Buddy shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "The odds have been adjusted, otherwise there is no way to start a bet. Everyone bet on the boxing champion to win, but no one is willing to buy the odds of losing a box for a box. It's meaningless. So I had to make a big adjustment, the odds for the boxing champion are 0.50 for 1, that is, if you win two packs, you can get a pack of cigarettes, and if you win, that is, one pack becomes ten packs."
Yang Yi frowned and said, "Isn't that right? If everyone bets two packs on the boxing champion and one pack on me, then if I win they can earn seven packs of cigarettes, and if the boxing champion wins, they can get it back Three packs of cigarettes, it may not be profitable but it will never be lost."
Buddy smiled and said: "Yes, that's it, but what can I do, no one bets without this odds, and you have to believe in people's confidence in the champion, they think it's good to change two boxes to three boxes Yes, why do you want to turn a box of sure money into no profit or no loss? Dude, you have to understand the psychology of gamblers, they want to win instead of no loss.”
Yang Yi immediately said: "It makes sense, it makes sense! So how many people bet on me to win?"
Buddy laughed and said: "There are still people who bet on you to win, because the temptation to pay ten to one is very great, and there are indeed people who bet on both sides, just like you said, if you win them, you will win a lot of money, and if you lose them They won’t pay, but the vast majority of people still beat the boxing champion.”
After he finished speaking with a smile, Buddy lowered his voice and said: "Man, if you win, I can make a fortune. If you lose, I won't lose but I can't make much, so I support you very much mentally." Can win."
Yang Yi said with a smile: "If you want to rely on me to make a fortune, you have to do something, but the spiritual support is not enough."
Buddy said helplessly: "I really want to be able to manipulate the game, but I don't have the strength. Dude, this is a cage fight. Two people go in, and only one can come out. I can only see the result and I can't even cheer you on, so I can't help you."
Yang Yi whispered: "Then where will the cage fight take place, won't it be in a prison cell?"
"It's just in the cell that two inmates who lived together had a conflict and one of them died. This kind of thing is very common, so where else can you be if you are not in the cell? Do you think it will be here that a group of people will watch you and the boxer in a circle? Is Wang playing? Don't dream, although we all want to see it, we can't see it."
Yang Yi thought for a while, then whispered: "Tell me, which cell will we fight in?"
"This is not necessarily the case. If there are free cells, just transfer you all there. If there are no free cells, then adjust it. It's easy."
"Will you be searched before sending us to Cage Dou's cell?"
"Search? No, how do you kill someone without a weapon? Not everyone has the strength to punch someone to death, so cage fighting means that there must be weapons, er, most of the time, but the boxing champion may not use knives , do you think he needs it? Of course he doesn’t need it, he can knock you out with one heavy punch, and then slowly strangle you to death.
Yang Yi's face darkened, and he said with a wry smile: "Dude, can't you be more tactful when you speak? It seems that you think I'm dead."
Buddy nodded and said: "Yes, all of us think you are dead. Although you have been in the confinement room for a week, you are fine, but buddy, even if you are crazy, you don't have the muscles and strength of a boxing champion. Fist, it's hard, a lunatic can't beat a boxer in a cage fight."
Yang Yi breathed out and said: "You can help me, you want me to win, right? Then you have to help me."
Buddy shook his head and said, "No, I can't help you, and I can't help you, or my reputation will be ruined."
Yang Yi smiled and said: "Listen to me, you only need to do one thing. I heard that the beds in the cell are different? My current cell has two beds, and some cells have bunk beds. Is it this way."
Buddy frowned and said, "That's right, but what's the use of it?"
Yang Yi said in a low voice: "Ask your people to help me find a cell with bunk beds, and when sending us to the cell, let me go first instead of the boxing champion, that's all I ask, and You can do it, if you want to be the biggest winner, then you have to help me."
Buddy hesitated for a moment, then he stood up and said: "Give me your bet first, others can pay after the bet is over, but you can't."
