Chapter 1610 Re-Note, See Also Re-Note
William Hill Company, the most famous and top gaming company in Europe and even the world, is also the ancestor of the modern gambling industry, ranking first in the industry.
Early this morning, their branch office in Nanyang received many bets. The World Cup has just ended, and the most popular now is the Men's Basketball World Championships. During every major sports event, it is the time when they make the best profit.
Of course, they also carry out corresponding betting business for other sports events, such as every Olympic Games, which can also make them a lot of money.
There are also major sports events such as tennis and badminton. They will do some publicity and take the opportunity to make money.
And they are also very powerful, that is, they can bet against the company on any matter. For example, there was once an 80-year-old woman who claimed that she could live to be 90 years old. Their company made a special bet with the old woman, and measured the old woman's physical health, surrounding environment, After the relatives waited, they offered big odds to the old woman.
In the end the old woman actually won, and they lost a lot of money. However, they use this matter as publicity to prove how fair their company is and how extensive their business is, thereby attracting more users to place bets.
Lin Yongfeng, the Chinese person in charge of the company here, looked at the series of jumping numbers on the computer, and his face was full of smiles.
Suddenly he saw a string of red letters, which would only appear after a heavy bet of more than one million dollars. Which fan is this again, which team bought to win?
Wait a minute, why didn't you buy the United States, but China? And how is five million dollars?
The influence of basketball is not as great as that of football. Because football is better than basketball in that it does not limit the venue. Basketball always requires a hard and flat field with a basketball hoop. Football can set up a goal with two water bottles or even two stones.
However, this year's World Cup did not receive such a large single bet, but it appeared in the Men's Basketball World Championships!
At this time, there was a knock on his office door: "Boss Lin, we just received a big bet, five million dollars, to buy the Men's Basketball World Championships, and the Huaxia team will enter the semi-finals."
"What were our previous odds?"
"According to our previous calculations, the Huaxia team has an 83.2% chance of entering the quarter-finals, but only a 3.05% chance of entering the semi-finals, so the odds are very high, 8 points per one three."
All the odds of the gambling company are adjusted from time to time. Maybe one minute ago, when you bought it, it was still three for one, but one minute later, the odds may become five for one, or 0.8 for one.
This depends on the amount of betting and a comprehensive measurement of various factors. The algorithm is very complicated.
Of course, this is also a way to ensure that gambling companies can always make money. Even if they lose a lot of money, other odds adjustments can attract punters and make them money.
"Is this our highest bet of the day?"
"Yes, it's also the highest single bet for the Men's Basketball World Championships this time. For other teams, the highest bet is one million euros."
"Very good, then insist that our odds remain unchanged, and increase the publicity for this, so that more people will buy the Huaxia team. Also, let people go to investigate again, whether there is any change in the Huaxia team this time, let us Their strength has increased or something."
"By the way, adjust the odds of the Huaxia team winning the top three and see if this person will continue to buy."
Hmph, since you're stupid enough to give us money, there's no reason not to. The Huaxia team is the strongest in Asia, but basketball is generally stronger in Europe and America!
After making arrangements, Lin Yongfeng went to pour a cup of coffee. He likes to grind coffee beans and make coffee by himself.
But before the coffee was ready, another subordinate knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Lin, another big bet is on the Huaxia men's basketball team. It is also buying the Huaxia team to enter the semi-finals."
"How much?"
"800 million yen!"
Lin Yongfeng's hands trembled: "800 million yen? Are you talking about yen? What about the odds?"
"It's 8.8 per one after our adjustment.
"
Lin Yongfeng hadn't decided yet, someone ran in again.
"Mr. Lin, someone bet again that the Huaxia men's basketball team will enter the semi-finals. This time it is 10 million dollars!"
Another ten million dollars? !
Are these people crazy? Who is in the Huaxia men's basketball team? Besides that Dayao, who else is more powerful?
Although they knew that many players in the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team played in the NBA, but they were all substitutes, and many of them couldn't even play. How could such a team enter the semi-finals?
Could it be that this year's Huaxia men's basketball team has any secret weapons? No, the list has been determined long ago, and these people are not particularly outstanding.
"Mr. Lin, should the odds be lowered? Once the Huaxia Men's Basketball team really enters the semi-finals, then all of our betting amount on the Men's Basketball World Championships this time will be paid out. There must be some others that we bought. But it's a loss!"
Mr. Lin hesitated for a long time, and decided that it would be better to be on the safe side: "Okay, immediately reduce the odds, and at the same time promote other teams and increase the odds of other teams."
"Also, why hasn't the investigation report on the Huaxia men's basketball team been sent yet?!"
The subordinate was a little helpless. It only took ten minutes. How could a complete investigation report come out so soon?
While they were still investigating, they placed several heavy bets on the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, buying the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team to enter the finals, and even buying the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team to win the championship.
Of course, these bets were not as much as the top four, but they also exceeded tens of millions of dollars.
The important thing is that the odds are higher. Once they win, the amount that William Hill will pay is no less than the Huaxia men's basketball team entering the semi-finals.
What is going on? Why are there so many big bets?
Shouldn't such a large amount of betting happen in the Football World Cup? Why is it strange this year, there are so many bets on basketball?
If it is in North America, this is quite normal. After all, the popularity of basketball in North America is much higher than that of football.
But this is in Asia, shouldn't football be more popular? Could it be the Chinese betting?
He arranged for people to check the betting accounts, all from the UBS account, directly online betting to their company's gaming account, and they were also one of the first gambling companies to start online gaming.
This method brought more customers and profits to the company, but Lin Yongfeng suddenly felt that this time, the company was about to suffer heavy losses.
If the company pays hundreds of millions of dollars all at once, and they all appear in their Nanyang branch, then he, the person in charge of the Nanyang branch, will be in big trouble!
The current plan is to promote other teams in the Men's Basketball World Championships quickly, so that more people will pay attention to this, and then place bets to reduce the risk.
