The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 95 [Gambling]

In the United States, about 40 state governments have acquiesced in gambling.Maybe there is something immoral about it, because it would add new taxes to the poor.But there is a national consensus: Gambling is good.Just like Las Vegas is not considered a place of evil, it is a resort, a paradise for gambling lovers.

As NBA players, Ye Feng and Barnes certainly couldn't bet directly.Although it is not a direct participation in the game, there is no way to play match-fixing, but it will have a bad impact on the league, and the exposure will arouse David Stern's disgust.

Tomorrow night, the NBA Finals will start, and the two sides will be the Celtics VS Lakers.Ye Feng wants to bet on this series with Barnes.

Ariel called her secretary Hank and asked him to fly to Las Vegas immediately.

Neither Barnes nor his girlfriend, the reality show star Luria, had any objection to playing with Ye Feng and Ariel.When Hank came, the five of them had dinner together in the hotel restaurant, and when they talked about gambling, Hank realized that his task was to take money to bet.

Barnes asked, "Ye, what kind of bet are you going to make?"

Ye Feng said with a smile: "I've always won every bet. Of course, you buy whatever I buy. Can you trust me? If you don't believe me, you can press less."

Barnes shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I'll offer one hundred thousand. You will win every bet and have money, so you must pay more than me, right?"

Ye Feng took out the check he carried with him, wrote down the number, and handed it to Hank.He said with a smile: "I have to see the confrontation between the two teams in the first game. I don't dare to bet too much. Hank, please help me bet 100 million!"

Hank took the check, his jaw dropped to the ground, 100 million is enough for ordinary people to live happily for a lifetime!If you guess wrong in a game, you lose it all.He originally thought that the members of Sterling's family were abnormal, but he didn't expect Ye Feng to be even more outrageous.But the responsibility was wrong, so he could only do it.

Ariel was also a little surprised.This is not the Clippers' money, but Ye Feng's own.She guessed that Ye Feng did this to win over Barnes, but in case of losing, it would not be a small sum.She whispered to Ye Feng: "Have you forgotten what we are doing in Las Vegas? Take so much money and spend it?"

Ye Feng didn't care about letting other people hear him, and said with a smile: "I know the Lakers well, I won't lose by guessing the score. The bet is just to make some money, so don't worry. Even if Matt doesn't join the Clippers, I didn't come to Las Vegas in vain."

Barnes thought it was very interesting, and wrote a check to Luria, and he only needed his girlfriend to help place the bet. "Ye, who do you want to beat to win?"

"The Celtics won the first game and let the three points."

Ye Feng has carefully studied the rules of gambling, it is not complicated.

Take the Celtics home game of the first finals as an example.

主队让分盘口：让3分，赔率1.35；让分11-15分赔率为6.34；让16分以上赔率10.32。

Score handicap: 193.5 points, odds 0.84.

The meaning of allowing 3 points is that the Celtics must win by more than 3 points after the game to win.

假如压100元凯尔特人胜，会得到三种结果：一是凯尔特人净胜3分以上，就是出上盘了，下注让三分的人就可以赢100乘以1.35等于135元。不包括自己押的100元。如果是凯尔特人净胜16分以上，压让16分以上的人100元可以得到1000元以上的回报，当然这种几率也会低的多。

The second possibility is that the Celtics just have a margin of 3 points, that is to say, neither lose nor win.

The third is that if the Celtics win by less than 3 points or lose, it is the next game, and they will lose 100 yuan.

Betting on the score of 193.5 refers to betting on the total score of the two teams in the game. 193.5 is the dividing line, if it is 194 points, it is big, and the top game wins, and 193 points is small points, and the bottom game loses all.

These are the two easiest ways to bet on football, Ye Feng only intends to participate in the first one, the betting accuracy is too high, he is afraid of making mistakes.

Barnes didn't care about 10 yuan, and made the same bet with Ye Feng.He felt that he paid less money, and if he didn't dare to gamble, he would look too motherly.Although he thinks the Lakers are more likely to win.

Both sides have risen by trading.Kobe Bryant won the regular season MVP this season, and Gasol and Lamar Odom assisted in the inside.

It was much more difficult for the Celtics to reach the Finals. In the first two rounds, they fought against their opponents in 7 games. They eliminated the Pistons 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Ye Feng is absolutely sure.He has been paying attention to the playoffs, and he was surprised to find that the situation of the game is very similar to the results he knew in his previous life.Only the game between the Cavaliers and the Wizards had major changes. Arenas came back and teamed up with Kaman and Butler to drag the game into Game [-], almost eliminating the Cavaliers.He watched all six finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, and he was deeply impressed. Not only did he know the winners and losers, but he even remembered the approximate scores. He came to Las Vegas for another purpose besides looking for Barnes. Gambling.

The game officially started on June 6th. Ye Feng and others gathered in the hotel room to watch the live broadcast. Gambling is an exciting thing. While hoping that the Celtics will win, they are also worried that the score will be drawn!Even though Ye Feng knew about the future, he looked at it with trepidation.If something goes wrong, like Kobe elbows Pierce, or Kobe cripples Garnett, his money is gone. (Why is it always Kobe who does bad things?)
The game was as Ye Feng expected, Boston's Big Three scored 65 points together, Kobe Bryant scored 24 points, but only made 26 of 9 shots, and the Celtics defeated the Lakers 98-88 in the first game of the finals.

Ye Feng's 100 million turned into 235 million.Barnes also won the money and found it very enjoyable. As soon as the game whistle sounded, he clapped hands with Ye Feng and Ye Feng.

Hanke sighed: "It's too easy to earn more than 100 million in this way, isn't it? Ye, are you born rich?"

"Maybe. This is just the beginning." After winning a match, Ye Feng became more confident.

Hank went to redeem the prize.That night, everyone went to the most famous local bar for a night of carnival.Hank also wants to bet on the next game.

After dancing to the explosive music for a while, Ariel and Ye Feng dressed up, took off their coats, and went to a relatively quiet place to drink beer.

Ariel asked: "You actually guessed right, do you want to bet on the next game?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Of course, I conclude that the Lakers are not the opponents of the Celtics. I won't force Barnes if he doesn't want to join the Clippers. It's always good to make some money. I'm sure I'll win again. You don't know if you want it or not." Take out the money to gamble?"

"No, I hate gambling, but I still congratulate you for winning." Ariel raised the beer bottle high, touched Ye Feng forcefully, and said with a smile: "Cheers! Let's drink today!"

In Las Vegas, single men and women drink too much alcohol, it is easy to go to the legendary church to have a flash marriage.However, both of them are extremely heavy drinkers, and they are still not drunk after drinking more than a dozen bottles of beer.

Ye Feng never thought about getting married while drunk, but he was still a little disappointed with Ariel's drinking capacity, he guessed that maybe Ariel really only regarded him as a good friend.Emotions often affect a woman's alcohol capacity. If you are facing friends with average feelings, women generally do not drink, and all of them who can drink are heroes among women. When people drink it, a woman may turn red after taking two sips, cry out for a headache, walk staggeringly, and need someone to help her and carry her back to the room.

Ye Feng was in a daze, Ariel asked: "What are you thinking about in a daze?"

Ye Feng blurted out: "I was wondering why you're not drunk yet?"

Ariel smiled and said, "Want to compare? I won't get drunk before you."

Ye Feng didn't know how to compare with others, he said with a smile: "No, drinking too much will hurt your body, I'm an athlete, if I become addicted to alcohol, I'll be in trouble, let's just drink so much today."

Ariel lowered her head and sighed softly.Ye Feng forgot one thing, Ariel often thinks completely differently from ordinary women...

Game 200 of the NBA Finals continues in Boston.This time, Ye Feng overwhelmed the 3 million Celtics by 62 points. The Big Three continued their good performance and jointly contributed 21 points. Bowie, who came off the bench, also scored 108 points. The Celtics scored 102 points at home. 2 defeated the Lakers and took a 0-[-] lead in the finals.The third game will be moved to Los Angeles.

Ye Feng won another game, making a huge profit of more than 200 million.Hank also made a bet, but he only brought a few thousand dollars with him this trip, and he didn't make much money by all-in. Even so, he was very happy.Barnes still only bet [-], and when the result came out, he really regretted not listening to Ye Feng's raise.

In the third game, Ye Feng continued to raise, increasing to 300 million, and changed to pressure the Lakers for a 3-point handicap.The odds of the Lakers are even higher than the Celtics.

Seeing that he had changed to support the Lakers, Hanke was confused and asked, "Why didn't they beat the Celtics this time?"

The match did not have a butterfly effect because of Ye Feng, the results of the two matches were almost the same as in the previous life.He explained: "There is a saying in China that is 'again and again, no more three'. The Lakers cannot be swept away. They can win at least two home games. I will definitely win."

Hanke became ruthless and followed Ye Feng to buy the Lakers.Those who pressed 300 million are not afraid of losing, so what is he afraid of?
As a result, in the third game, Bryant hit two key jumpers at the last moment, helping the Lakers beat the Celtics 87-81 at home, tying the total score to 1-2.Win again!

Ye Feng didn't continue to add more money, and bet 300 million on the fourth game, changing the Celtics to a 3-point handicap.Neither Barnes nor Hank hesitated this time, and they took out money to bet along with it.Barnes also increased the amount to 50.

It is still the home court of the Lakers. Odom, who had a mediocre performance in the first few games, played very tough at the beginning. He made all 6 shots in the first quarter and scored 13 points alone.The Lakers led by 35 points 14-21.

At this time, everyone felt that the Celtics were doomed.At the beginning of the second quarter, Hank covered his head with a cushion and didn't dare to look any more. He invested all the money and seemed to have seen the banknote grow wings and go away from him...
