Chapter 197
Actually, the truth is that the money is not enough.
For underground casinos like them.
Bribing others to play fake games is the easiest way to make money.
Because, it is equivalent to the people in these underground casinos knowing the outcome of the game in advance before others.
Especially in the World Cup, which is the most watched event in the world.
Make a fake game.
The benefits brought by it are enough to be described as huge profits.
They knew the result of the game early.
They can truly achieve a winner-takes-all situation.
For example, they bribed two Argentine players this time to let them play fake games and deliberately lose the game.
Then...
They just need to bet enough money on the German team on the opposite side.
Most of the money bet by those who bet on Argentina in their casino will go into the pockets of these people in their casino.
This is the semi-final of the World Cup.
As one of the top three underground casinos in the world, there are naturally countless fans who choose to bet on them.
In the last match between France and Portugal.
The funds they handled were billions of US dollars.
This time.
As long as they can make half of the money.
It will be enough for their casino to make a fortune.
"Hillman, you did a good job on this matter. A total of 100 million was used to bribe two players to be willing to play a fake match. In this way, our casino will make at least more than 10 billion US dollars this time." Casino boss Bourne praised Hillman.
"That's right, Mr. Bourne. We are betting a large sum of money on the German team, which will definitely cause the odds of the Argentine team to rise a lot."
"On other gambling platforms in various countries around the world, the odds of the two teams are similar, basically one to two."
"If the odds of the Argentine team are only one to three or one to four in our casino, it will definitely attract a large number of fans who support Argentina to place bets here."
"It must be stable to make more than ten billion. Maybe we will have the opportunity to make tens of billions!"
Hillman analyzed it calmly.
His analysis is indeed correct.
From a normal logic point of view.
In the case of no difference, fans will tend to bet on gambling platforms with higher odds.
At that time.
Their underground gambling platform will be the only choice.
"Hillman, are the two people you found okay? Don't let them down at the critical moment." Another senior executive of the casino expressed this concern.
Hearing this, Hillman spoke confidently,
"Don't worry, I have recorded the entire transaction process and warned them that if they don't do it seriously, I will release the video to the world and ruin their reputation."
"They know whether to agree to our conditions and get 50 million US dollars for a fake match or to be ruined and completely expelled from the world football world."
"And, for insurance, the two players I found for the fake match are not only a defender, but also their goalkeeper."
"With that goalkeeper, no matter what happens during the game, Argentina will lose."
"Because, if it really doesn't work, the goalkeeper can just let the goalkeeper go and not even defend a shot!"
Hearing Hillman's words, the casino's senior figures, including Mr. Bourne, were completely relieved.
Just as Hillman said just now.
With the goalkeeper as a backup player.
It is completely impossible to stop any football shot at the goal.
Even if the German team performs poorly two days later.
It is not so bad that even the Argentine team cannot shoot the football into the goal without a goalkeeper!
Mr. Bourne tapped the table lightly with his fingers, pondered for a few seconds, and said slowly,
"Okay, since the outcome of the game is not a problem. Knowing that Argentina will lose, how much money we can make depends on how bold we are."
"You do as I say, and increase the odds of Argentina from the current one to two to one to four!"
"At the same time, do a little publicity to attract more fans from all over the world to place bets in our casino."
"This time, since we want to make money, we will make a lot of money!"
"After all, the World Cup only comes once every four years, and there will be so many next time.
The chance to make big money will have to wait four years. "
"Okay, Mr. Bourne, let's do it now! "Several subordinates including Hillman nodded in agreement.
If their casino does this.
There will definitely be a lot of noise.
But Mr. Bourne has no worries at all.
It's very simple.
He has his brother who is a general in the US military behind him.
Basically anything can be settled.
Otherwise, how did Mr. Bourne build this underground casino that ranks first in the United States and top three in the world with his not-so-outstanding talents?
…………
Two days passed quickly.
In the expectation of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
At two o'clock in the morning of Yanjing time.
The World Cup semi-final between Germany and Argentina will officially start at the San Diego Football Stadium in Los Angeles, USA.
China, China.
This night, many fans did not sleep.
Stay up late waiting for the game to start.
CCTV Sports Channel has not yet announced the commentary lineup for the World Cup final.
Tonight's game is likely to be Jiang Shuben This is the last game of the World Cup to be commented on.
That means.
It is their last chance to make a lot of money with Jiang Shu.
No one will miss it.
At a barbecue stall in a small county town.
Even though it is already early in the morning.
The barbecue stall is brightly lit and the business is still booming.
Kebabs and beer are placed on every table as if they are free.
The atmosphere is very warm.
At this moment.
Everyone at the barbecue stall, while eating skewers and drinking, looks at the TV hanging in the store from time to time.
The TV is broadcasting the CCTV Sports Channel.
Needless to say.
All these people at the barbecue stall late at night are fans waiting to watch the World Cup semi-finals.
Facing the upcoming semi-final.
What everyone discusses the most.
It is not any player from either team.
But Jiang Shu who will soon appear in the commentary booth.
"Too nervous, Jiang Shu is about to come out, and it's time to compete with hand speed again! ”
“Yeah, last time I just went out to smoke a cigarette, and the foreign football betting platform closed down. I regretted it so much.”
“I don’t know when Jiang Shu will have another concert. Even if the ticket price is high, I will buy one and thank Jiang Shu on the spot for making me earn enough money to treat my wife’s leukemia.”
“Our family has placed Jiang Shu’s tablet next to the Kitchen God. We worship him every day. It’s really more effective than the God of Wealth!”
“Shhhhh, everyone be quiet, Jiang Shu is out! Listen to what he predicts this time!”
