As the sound spread, the noisy voices around were instantly silenced.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone actually placed a large bet on Song Chi. Did they have too much money and didn't know where to spend it?
"What are the odds?"
The young man shouted, "Previously the odds were 1 to 152, and now it's... 1 to 119. The odds have dropped so much, someone must have placed a huge bet!"
He said excitedly, "Who on earth is this idiot... Who on earth could do such a crazy thing? If the money is too much, you can give me some. But then again, as the saying goes, fortune is sought in danger. This is a gamble that pays off a lot. If I win, I'll be rich!"
"Is there anyone who wants Song Chi? Even though some people have placed heavy bets, his odds are still the highest. My name is Ah Cheng and I'm from Changle Casino. If you place a bet, make sure you choose Ah Cheng!"
The young man worked hard to sell the product, and it was obvious that he had a very high level of professionalism.
Song Chi knew that it was Su Mingyue who took action. She obeyed his orders and directly took out all her family property to gamble.
Su Mingyue's wealth was the black money collected by the Han family, but she only took a small part of it and handed the rest over to Feng Yuan in exchange for subsequent stability. Even if something happened, it would have nothing to do with him.
It's just a matter of getting something for nothing.
Excluding the money spent, there should be more than 300,000 taels now, which is not a small amount and can make a lot of money.
With deliberate hype, this literary gathering has attracted countless people to participate in the betting. The gambling pool is currently very large, and he wants to take out all the money in the gambling pool.
"I really have so much money that I don't know where to spend it. I actually bet on Song Chi. Isn't this crazy?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"Do you think the person holding Song Chi hostage is Gu Ronghua, the young master of the Gu family? I heard that he has a very close relationship with Song Chi."
"It's almost certain. This Gu Ronghua is truly a prodigal son."
The people around were talking about it. At this time, the messenger came running over again. Ah Cheng was shocked and shouted again, "It has changed, it has changed again. Song Chi's odds have been lowered again. Someone has placed a big bet on him again!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the people around who were preparing to attend the literary gathering were also surprised.
No matter how you look at it, Song Chi has no chance of winning the championship, so why would anyone bet on him?
"The current odds are one to ninety-seven, the odds have been lowered by nearly thirty points, and another heavy bet has been placed!" Ah Cheng was shocked. This was the first time he had seen such a situation in his many years of work. It seemed that there really were people who were stupid and had a lot of money.
This is the most welcome thing for the gambling house.
There was no possibility for Song Chi to win the championship at all, so the money he bet would be wasted and would definitely be earned by the gambling house.
"The literary gathering will begin soon, and the odds will be closed soon. If you don't place your bets now, it will be too late. If you want to get rich, sell your house and place your bets!" Ah Cheng yelled. In this stimulating atmosphere, not to mention people, even passing dogs would probably place their bets with bones in their mouths.
It's really crazy.
These gambling houses must be run by the government. They will stop at nothing to make money. I wonder how many people will jump into the Jinshui River when the literary gathering is over.
Song Chi saw it and knew that the person who had placed a big bet just now should be Gu Rongshan. It seemed that Gu Ronghua had convinced his sister that the financial power of the Gu family was in the hands of Gu Rongshan.
The current odds are really good. If more people place bets, the odds will be lowered and the profit will be less.
These big gambling houses are very powerful, and they cannot deny their debts, especially with so many people involved.
Song Chi's eyes fell on the gambling stall. He was waiting for Song Ming to place his bet. In order to avoid being noticed, he spent the whole night placing himself behind the top ten. However, he was confident of winning the championship, so he should bet on himself again, thus vying for fame and fortune.
However, bets should be placed before the market closes.
“It’s changed, it’s changed again!”
Song Chi was thinking when Ah Cheng started shouting again.
"What's changed? Could it be that someone is betting on Song Chi again?"
"It's not Song Chi, it's Song Ming. It's because Mr. Ming's odds have dropped and he's already in third place..."
It is true.
Song Chi couldn't help but sneer. Song Ming wanted to gain both fame and fortune, and he placed a heavy bet on himself. Then I will make you lose both fame and fortune!
The communication is not real-time, so you must still be betting at this time. Even if the odds are low, you can still win money because the result is certain to happen.
"Just now... Song Chi's odds dropped again, and someone's betting big on him again. The current odds are 1 to 52, which is crazy. And Master Ming's odds have also dropped, and he's already in second place."
"And that's even with incomplete statistics. As the market nears closing time, so many people are placing heavy bets on these two. It's fine to bet on Master Ming, but why are they betting on Song Chi?"
Hearing such loud shouting, Song Chi couldn't help but be stunned.
Who is it?
Who bet on me?
I want to make a lot of money by making an upset. If the odds are low, there will be fewer wins.
"boom!"
Just as he was stunned, a brilliant firework suddenly exploded in the sky. The guards at the entrance in front made way, and many scholars filed in. The literary gathering officially began!
"The literary gathering begins, and the gambling house is closed!"
"The literary gathering begins, and the gambling house is closed!"
All the major gambling houses have begun to close their stalls. Now it's time to wait for the literary competition to end and choose the winner!
Song Chi subconsciously stepped aside to avoid being swept away. The scholars attending the literary gathering formed a surging stream of people, and the scene was truly spectacular. Song Chi was not in a hurry and stepped aside. He was still wondering who would be so willing to place such a heavy bet on him...
The literary gathering officially begins.
Ordinary participants can only follow the crowd, while those who are talented and famous will naturally not follow the crowd. They have a separate path.
The exam questions are the same, but it is not as crowded. Just like the special passages, even the rest areas are separately divided.
