Chapter 310 The Way of Gambling Odds

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Ye Tian looked at the crowded betting outlets in front of him again, thought for a while, and then withdrew from the crowd.

Standing behind the crowd, looking at the crowded scene in front of him, Ye Tian felt a little itchy in his heart.

The gaming industry in Macau and Las Vegas was quite profitable in the previous life.It is not just that the bookmakers fully consider the points of profit when they formulate the odds; more importantly, the results of some games are simply manipulated by the bookmakers behind the scenes.

At this moment, what Ye Tian wants to know the most is how much the two parties have bet so far.The second is the odds formulated by the Ministry of Taxation.

Smacking his mouth, Ye Tian said to himself: "The gaming industry is so profitable, it can't just be monopolized by the Ministry of Taxation. The Royal Mint is the official issuing department of the imperial currency. How can it be so profitable?" Don’t get involved in the gaming industry.”

Thinking of this, Ye Tian turned around and walked into the distance.

After walking tens of meters, there were far fewer pedestrians on the main road.Ye Tian looked around, then left the main road, looked at a deserted alley, and sneaked in.

This small alley is a dead end with high gray brick walls on both sides.Apparently, this is the dividing wall between the two mansions.

Some wealthy families chose to separate it from other people's courtyard walls for Feng Shui considerations when building courtyard walls, forming the appearance of this alley.

No one passed by, exactly what Ye Tian wanted.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian stood at the end of the alley, a faint wave radiated from his eyes.

In the ancient book "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi", the advanced application skills of space magic began to slowly appear in Ye Tian's mind at this moment.

Ye Tian's body disappeared after hearing a "boo".

At this time, in the Tiangong Empire Taxation Department, in the workshop of the Martial Arts Betting Division, the counselors and accountants put the money collected from the front desk into the warehouse, and calculated the amount before recording it in the general ledger.

At this time, there was a faint fluctuation suddenly in the work room, as if there was a breeze blowing gently in the room.But the counselors and accountants were working intensely, and no one noticed the breeze.

Ye Tian's body was floating in mid-air. Although the scene in front of him was a little blurry, he could basically see the words recorded in the account book clearly.

By flipping through the account book in the account room, Ye Tian could clearly see that the total bet amount summarized in the account book up to yesterday was 1609 million taels in the column of Tiangong Empire, and 9807 million taels in the column of Eka Empire. That's [-] taels.

Ye Tian was startled, just judging from the total amount of bets in the past three days, those who bet on Tiangong Empire won more than 3000 million taels, while those who bet on Eka Empire won more than 1 million taels.

It seems that those who have confidence in the Eka Empire still account for an absolute majority.

At the same time, Ye Tian took another look at the odds recorded in the account book.Soon, Ye Tian saw that in the account book page compiled yesterday, the odds of Tiangong Empire reached [-], while the odds of Eka Empire was only [-].

Ye Tian did a quick calculation, and speaking from his heart, this point is almost the same as Ye Tian's method of calculating odds in the gaming industry in his previous life.The odds are high for big odds and low for small odds.

The essence of gambling lies in this.

Since everyone knows which side will win, naturally there are more people betting, and the more people betting, the natural odds are lower.And those who insist on betting that the other party will win, the odds determined are naturally higher.

But Ye Tian quickly frowned again, and quickly calculated silently.

In terms of the total amount, the two parties bet a total of 1506 million taels of silver. Calculated according to the points removed by each, if the person who bet on Tiangong Empire wins, if the bet is correct, he can earn 9708. [-] million taels of silver.

If the bet on the Eka Empire wins, if the bet is correct, he can earn 1106 million taels of silver.

After comparing these two numbers with the odds of [-] and [-], Ye Tian could quickly conclude that the Ministry of Taxation drew one-tenth of the points from each of the betting parties.

Compared with the total amount of 1506 million taels, the Ministry of Taxation and Administration could earn more than 500 million taels in just the first three days of competition.

After getting this number, Ye Tian took a breath.

Moreover, this is only a transaction in the capital. People in every state, county, and town in the empire are betting. The real total is by no means 5000 million.According to Ye Tian's estimate, it can be almost five times.

Huge profits, really huge profits.

He, Ye Tian, ​​must win this betting business into the hands of the Royal Mint.The reason is not only because it is possible to earn huge profits during this kind of competition. In Ye Tian's conception, there are almost no sports events in this world. Just look at ordinary people who have invested so much enthusiasm in these few days of competitions. And gaming has a very broad market prospects.

Moreover, a planet, a continent, and nearly ten huge empires, there are no competitions throughout the year, no matter whether it is with officials or ordinary people, it is not interesting.Now that Ye Tian is here, he can't always be so boring.

People also need an outlet for entertainment and noise.

Therefore, in Ye Tian's vision, several major sports events will be organized on this land in the future, not just a contest between two countries.

These sports events will surely drive ordinary people crazy.And the gaming industry that goes with it will also make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian's eyes scanned the odds of Tiangong Empire on the ledger book again.

Three point six eight.

Even if there are three days left in the competition, the change in the odds should not be very big, at least it should hover around the number three.

This means that if a person bet on the Tiangong Empire to win, and bet [-] yuan, if the Tiangong Empire really wins, he can get a return of [-] yuan.

The Odds of the Russian Card Empire is only 1, because there are many bettors, the natural odds are smaller.This means that with a bet of 600 taels, if the Eka Empire wins, in addition to getting back the principal of [-] taels of silver, they can also get a return of [-] million taels of silver.

The reason why Tiangong Empire's odds are so high is because too few people bet on it.

And this is exactly what Ye Tian wanted to bet on.

The rule of making odds according to the ratio of betting parties is also a common practice in Ye Tian's previous life.

At this moment, Ye Tian could also see that the odds of the Ministry of Taxation could only be determined with a delay of one day.This also means that the changes in betting on the day will not affect the odds on the day before, and this just makes Ye Tian feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the world of previous lives, due to the existence of high technology, computers and the Internet, odds are calculated instantly, and there is no problem of delay.

In this world, you can only calculate and approve the odds based on the data collected the night before, and then work overtime at night to correct the odds once the day's bets are completed.

And for this, there is precisely one day's delay.

At this moment, Ye Tian already had in his heart the idea of ​​letting the Ministry of Taxation get rid of the gambling business. To do this, there must be a reason.

For example, let the Ministry of Taxation pay for a transaction, and it is a painful compensation.

In an instant, Ye Tian had an idea in his mind.

At this time, a breeze blew again in the workplace of the Competition Betting Division of the Ministry of Taxation.

The counselors and accountants just slightly pressed down the blown pages, and didn't feel any other abnormalities.

At the same time, Ye Tian's figure appeared again in that alley where no one passed by.

After getting the information about the bet amount, Ye Tian quickly walked out of the alley, went to the crossroads ahead, found Hongsheng, got in the carriage, and returned all the way to Yuhu West Garden.

After entering the gate, Ye Tian came to Jing'an Residence, sat down at the stone table under the pear tree, and stared blankly at the opposite wall.

At this moment, it was still early, and the half-afternoon sun shone obliquely on the courtyard of Jing Anju.

The beauties who wanted to come to Yuhu Xiyuan were fighting in the Tower of Purgatory right now.Ye Tian went in abruptly at this time, but it was only intrusive, and it also affected everyone's leveling.

Therefore, the only thing Ye Tian can do at this time is to wait.

It wasn't until evening that the members of Yuhu Xiyuan came out of the backyard one after another.

After all the members arrived, Ye Tian first stared at Ye Ka, and asked seriously: "How?"

Yeka smiled, and Hermione Corfield's handsome face showed a look of complacency at this moment, and said, "My lord, I am already a high-level god fighter."

Ye Tian nodded, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian raised his head, looked at Diani, and said, "How much financial resources can the Royal Household Department use now?"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Diani took a step forward, then made some calculations, and said: "Excluding the silver taels spent by the Shenji Camp recently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs currently has about 1000 to [-] gold, which is equivalent to One hundred million taels of silver."

Ye Tian nodded, turned his eyes, looked at Ye Rong again, and continued: "How much spare money can the Dark Temple use?"

Ye Rong said without thinking, "About 9000 million taels of silver."

After thinking for a while, Ye Tian said: "The two items add up to about 2000 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to [-] million taels of gold. I have an idea. In the betting of the Ministry of Taxation on the last day, the two hundred million taels All the silver is bet on the Tiangong Empire, and if we win, we can get [-] million taels of silver according to the three times the odds determined the day before yesterday, and this deal will be a big profit."
