Chapter 12
Betting
The old man smiled and said, "Sister, do you like horse racing too?"
Ye Tianhui said: "I don't quite understand it, so I bought a magazine to learn more about it."
Uncle: "There is a lot of knowledge here, you can learn it slowly."
Ye Tianhui agreed after hearing this.
She initially thought that her ability to judge horses would be enough to make a fortune, but now she realizes that there is a lot of knowledge involved.
Not to mention the complicated rules of weight-bearing and shift matches, even the various prize pools when placing bets require some effort to understand.
There will be an inter-class competition the day after tomorrow that she can bet on, so she must place the bet tomorrow. She doesn't have much time left, so she must study it quickly when she gets home in the evening, and place the bet tomorrow after figuring out the results.
She went up the stairs and returned to her room. She put both snacks on the table and opened them. Ye Wenyin's bag contained some common snacks, but Gu Shizhang's bag was really full of things, including steamed dumplings and crab roe buns.
In fact, Ye Tianhui was very hungry after this trip. She took out the crab roe bun and swallowed it in two bites. It contained large chunks of crab meat and crab roe, and was a bit sweet and delicious.
Ye Tianhui couldn't help it and ate three in one breath, and then tried other snacks.
After eating like this, she was almost full. She drank some water and the meal was done for her.
She put all the remaining snacks in the food box, thinking that fortunately the weather was not too hot and they would probably not go bad the day after tomorrow. In this way, she could save money on food for the next two days.
After dinner, she took her bath towel and change of clothes to wash up, but there were so many people that she had to wait in a long line.
While waiting in line, everyone couldn't help but talk. Most of the people here were poor, and many of them came from the mainland. Naturally, they felt a little more sympathetic to each other and talked about where they could find food.
Ye Tianhui also heard that the two young girls seemed to be engaged in the flesh trade.
She looked up and saw a girl with delicate features. In the mainland, she would probably be a very obedient girl, but after coming here, she became more open-minded due to the pressure of life.
Finally it was Ye Tianhui's turn. She went in, took a quick shower, and came out changed clothes.
When she walked out into the corridor, a man in bell-bottom pants happened to come over from the opposite side. The corridor was narrow, so Ye Tianhui bumped into him. Who knew that the man in bell-bottom pants was staring at Ye Tianhui's chest.
Ye Tianhui was wearing a white shirt with all the buttons buttoned up, but she had just taken a shower, and her hair was slightly wet in front of her neck, so the shirt collar stuck to her slender white neck, which looked somewhat charming in the eyes of outsiders.
The man in bell-bottom pants came over, stretched out his hand as if to touch her, and said with a smile: "Girl, let me open a ticket for you. I'll give you a redwood fish."
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui looked at him sideways and took a moment to realize that he thought she was also a prostitute and wanted to pay her a hundred yuan to sleep with her.
She frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
In my previous life, no one had ever dared to do this to me. Who would dare?
No one dares!
When she was in mainland China, she was young and the atmosphere was conservative, so no one dared to do this to her.
I came to Hong Kong, and there was Li San in front of me and this unknown thing behind me, and they both dared to covet me?
She said with some confusion: "You want to give me a hundred yuan? For me to sleep with you?"
Bell-bottoms nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, don't complain about it being too little, make it cheaper, the first time is the first time, the second time is the first time!"
Ye Tianhui raised her hand, looked at him calmly, and motioned him to come closer: "Come closer."
Bell-bottoms thought Ye Tianhui was willing, so he came over.
Who knew that at this moment, he felt a flash before his eyes.
He didn't even get to see Ye Tianhui's work clearly before Ye Tianhui directly put him there.
Ye Tianhui raised her foot and stepped on the man's back with the tip of her cloth shoes, without any expression on her face.
Bell-bottoms cried out in pain: "You, you let me go!"
Ye Tianhui said coldly, "Little brat, take a piss and look in the mirror. See how much you weigh. You're just a bean sprout the size of a needle tip, and you still have the nerve to come and embarrass yourself in front of me? What did your mother teach you?"
After saying that, she pushed hard with her feet, and the bell-bottom pants bared their teeth and screamed.
They made so much noise that they attracted quite a few people to come and watch. Everyone was shocked by the scene.
You know, Ye Tianhui is such a weak girl, and she doesn't seem to have a partner. Everyone knows that this relationship will not last long. No one knows when she will fall into someone's hands, and she may even have to join the girls in the building in the flesh trade.
We all saw a lot of people coming over like this, and we have seen this kind of thing many times.
But who knew that she had such a skill!
Who would have thought that a girl who looks so fragile could be so good at fighting!
Everyone was talking about it and gathered around to join in the fun. Even the gangsters living in the building were shocked.
This girl has such good skills!
Ye Tianhui knew that she could not leave the slums for a while, so since she could not leave, she had to establish her authority and not let anyone bully her.
So she just let go of the bell-bottom pants and said, "If you're not convinced, let's fight again. I'll use one hand to deal with you. If you can beat me, you win."
The man in bell-bottom pants was unwilling to give in after hearing this, and struggled to crawl over and was about to hit Ye Tianhui.
However, Ye Tianhui was now very experienced in beating people. She dodged it with a slight move of her body, then used her backhand to control the bell-bottom pants. She hit the bell-bottom pants with another kick, and the bell-bottom pants fell to the ground with a "bang", and fell to the ground with a dog-eaten ground.
The people around watched and applauded.
The man in bell-bottom pants was covered in dust and dirt. He wanted to struggle, but his face turned red and he couldn't.
In the end, he had no choice but to lie there helplessly, listening to the laughter of the crowd.
Ye Tianhui finally let him go: "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I'll beat you to death."
After saying that, she clapped her hands, carried her things and went straight into her room.
The people watching behind him were still not satisfied, but since everyone had already gone into the house, they had no choice but to disperse amidst the discussion.
Ye Tianhui listened to the noise outside and naturally understood that he was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. After this incident, no one would dare to provoke him anymore.
She ignored it immediately, turned on the light, and concentrated on looking at the schedule. The day after tomorrow was the opening day of this season, and there would be two Class 5 games and one Class 4 game.
The rest were fine, but among the horses participating in the Class 5 race, there were a few that she was optimistic about.
She decided to place a bet, but there were many ways to play the bet.
For example, you can choose "Single Win", which means you must bet on the horse that comes in first in the race. You can also choose "Triple Color", which means you must bet on the top three and they must be in the correct order. Or you can choose "Single T", which means you must bet on the horses that come in first, second and third regardless of the order.
Each project has a separate prize pool, which varies depending on the difficulty.
It has to be said that there are many categories of these projects, and it is not easy to make the most money. You must use the information you currently have to analyze and judge, and then choose the one with the highest probability, and it is best to bet on the project with the largest prize pool.
Ye Tianhui once again went through the horses that would be competing tomorrow and found that unfortunately, the horses she had her eyes on were all in different races, so she had no confidence in betting on the top three in one go.
Since she didn't know much about other horses, she naturally didn't dare to gamble rashly.
The easiest choice is "Win Single", but it seems that this is the simplest and the odds are not high.
The most suitable project for her is the "Three Treasures" project.
The so-called Three Treasures means that in all three races, you can bet on the horse that comes in first place. This is the main prize. If you only bet on the first two horses, and the horse you choose in the third race only comes in second, then you will get a consolation prize.
This is the most beneficial for Ye Tianhui.
She weighed it over for a while and finally chose two horses in each race. She could bet on each horse and buy multiple shares to ensure that she would not lose money.
This is a real test of mathematical ability.
Ye Tianhui calculated that if there were two choices for each game, there would be eight possibilities for three games.
If there are eight possibilities, the odds of winning the Sanbao prize are about 1 to 43. If you buy eight shares and one of them wins, you can earn about five times the return.
If you are lucky, you can get a consolation prize and make more money.
She calculated her rent and living expenses again, and considering the various possible expenses for the next month and the money she had on hand, she finally decided to take out 300 Hong Kong dollars to invest in horse racing.
This way, even if she loses all her money this time, she can still survive for a month or two and won't have to live on the streets and suffer from cold and hunger.
And if you make money, you may get a five or six times return. A five or six times return is about 1,500 Hong Kong dollars. Such a sum of money can also give you more room to seek more ways out.
Ye Tianhui had made up her mind, prepared three hundred Hong Kong dollars, and decided to go place a bet early tomorrow morning.
*************
Because it was the last day for betting, Ye Tianhui went straight to the nearby betting station after getting up the next day. Today, Hong Kong's sports industry is well developed, and horse racing is a project that everyone can participate in. For those wealthy people, they can naturally purchase high-quality horses to participate, and for ordinary wealthy people, they can place bets by phone. However, for ordinary citizens, they can only run to the betting station to place bets, and now there are various Jockey Club stations all over Hong Kong.
Ye Tianhui quickly found a betting station nearby. There were colorful advertisements posted outside the betting station. The most eye-catching one was a picture of a rider galloping on a horse. Ye Tianhui took a look and saw that the rider was called Ke Zhiming.
Isn’t this what Gu Shizhang mentioned, which broke the pattern of horse racing in Hong Kong and ushered in the era of local riders in Hong Kong?
Ye Tianhui read the introduction below and found that Ke Zhiming was indeed extraordinary. His winning rate was very high, said to be 40%, which was a very amazing winning rate.
She looked around before walking into the betting station. An old man was running the shop. She originally wanted to tell the old man how she planned to place her bets, but she didn't expect that he was very skilled.
She only needed to choose two horses for each race, and they would quickly calculate her combination, register her directly and let her pay.
Ye Tianhui didn't expect that the other person would understand what she had been thinking about for a long time last night as soon as he opened his mouth.
It can be seen that practice makes perfect. For them, betting on horse racing is no longer a brain-intensive calculation.
After taking out three hundred Hong Kong dollars to pay the bill, Ye Tianhui got the horse racing betting ticket, and then got her own horse ticket.
The ticket has green patterns on the edges and red in the middle, with the words "The Hong Kong Jockey Club" written on top and "SPECIAL CASH SWEEP ON THE" written below. Below that are traditional Chinese characters and the specific betting details.
When Ye Tianhui was looking at her lottery ticket, she felt as if someone was staring at her.
She looked up and saw a few young men standing on the corner of the street. They were wearing floral shirts with wide open collars and had permed hair. They looked very fashionable and unique, with a bit of a ruffian vibe.
He looks like a gangster, maybe a pretty good one at that.
Ye Tianhui has listened to people chatting these days and has come to understand that gangsters are also divided into different situations, gangs, and organizations.
You can beat up Li San and the perverts in the slums, but it is best not to provoke these gangsters who have joined forces with you.
She put the lottery ticket away, lowered her head, and left. Even after she had walked a long way, she could still hear those gangsters peeking at her.
Ye Tianhui didn't go out much that day, thinking it was better to be cautious and wait for the competition to start.
