Chapter 08 : Counter-buy! Southampton vs Northampton!

  "Uncle Andrew, I also want to buy a football lottery ticket for fun."

  Gu Ran pretended to know nothing and asked, "Can you teach me?"

  This was not entirely deliberate. In fact, Gu Ran was not very familiar with the gambling software of this era.

  After all, in his previous life, he was always busy doing exercises.

  Andrew put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile like a gambling expert: "Buying football lottery tickets is called gambling in our jargon. It's a very complicated business!

To tell you the truth, I have been involved in this business since I was a teenager. Others earn pocket money from working to buy food, drinks, and even to pick up girls, but I spend all the money I earn from working on gambling!"

  "Fuck!

  Uncle, you've been buying footballs for more than 30 years, how come you only have 1,000 pounds of private money now?"

  Gu Ran laughed inwardly.

  Andrew continued, "As for betting, the key is to understand sports. You need to study the historical records and technical statistics of the two teams, the stars of the teams, whether the tactics of the teams are incompatible, and whether the main players of the two teams are injured.

In short, there are many factors to refer to! This is all very professional! You have never been exposed to it. I suggest that if you really want to buy it, you might as well follow an old player like me."

  Andrew said proudly, "My secret to betting is to play it safe. For example, for this match between Southampton and Northampton, I studied the starting lineups and status data of these two teams two weeks in advance!

So you are lucky. If you follow me and bet on the home team to win, there will be no problem! If my 1,000 pounds bet is successful, I can earn at least... 181 pounds!"

  These odds...are really amazing!

  But think about it, everyone is optimistic about Southampton beating Northampton, so Southampton's odds are naturally very low.

  If you want to make a big bet, you have to buy the opposite.

  What's more, Gu Ran already knew the result of the match between the two teams.

  "Come, I'll help you download a regular gambling software first, and then help you bind your bank account..."

  Andrew took Gu Ran's iPhone 4 and operated it for a while. "Now, you can see all kinds of odds on your own phone."

  "Thank you, Uncle Andrew."

  Gu Ran took the phone and looked at it. "Uncle Andrew, I don't know much about football, but judging from the odds, it seems that betting on Northampton to win will make more money, right?"

  "Hahaha!" Andrew laughed out loud. "Bet on Northampton to win? Gu, from what you said, it's exposed that you really don't know anything! What kind of team is Northampton?

There is no forward, no midfielder, no defender! The goalkeeper has super butter hands that can throw the ball into his own goal! How can Northampton beat us Southampton? Ugh!"

  Andrew got so excited that the few precious hairs on his head began to tremble.

  He is a die-hard fan of Southampton.

  Just for this reason, there's nothing wrong with betting 1,000 pounds on your home team to win.

  Gu Ran smiled and said, "Uncle, I think spinach is also very important."

  Andrew sneered, "Feeling? Your uncle and I rely on knowledge, experience, skills, and a safe strategy when we play gambling. We never rely on feelings! Tell me, how do you feel about this game?"

  Gu Ran said: "My feeling is that Northampton will win, and the final score is 0:3."

  This is exactly the unexpected result of this game that Gu Ran remembered in his previous life - if he remembered correctly!

  Andrew stroked his Xie Guangkun hairstyle, "Oh, Gu, you really don't understand football."

  Gu Ran smiled calmly and said, "Yes, I just rely on my feelings. I feel really good today, uncle. How about you buy with me?"

  Uncle, I'll take you flying!

  Andrew laughed, "I'll buy it from you? Don't make fun of me, this is all my private money! Can I spend money with you? If you want to buy it, buy it yourself!"

  Gu Ran said regretfully: "Uncle, you really don't want to consider it?"

  Andrew sneered, "I'm not a fool! Bring your phone here, I'll teach you how to buy it, and then you can do it yourself."  

  As he spoke, Andrew took Gu Ran's phone and skillfully opened the betting window.

  Gu Ran lowered his head and studied the odds on the software.

  The odds of a score of 0:3 are 86 times.

  That's true. After all, no one was optimistic that Northampton could win, and no one was willing to bet on such an exaggerated upset result of Northampton beating Southampton by 3 goals.

  May the young model bless you!

  Gu Ran took a deep breath, filled in 1,000 pounds in the bet amount, and clicked confirm.

  This is his rent and food money for next month.

  If you can win with 1,000 pounds, you can get a bonus of 86,000 pounds!

  Andrew next to him was stunned, "Boy, are you crazy!? You actually bet 1,000 pounds on 0:3? If I had known this, I should have collected your rent in advance!"

  Gu Ran smiled and said, "Uncle, I really feel that way."

  Andrew shrugged. "Okay, whatever you want. I'll let you lose once, and you'll know the consequences of not listening to professionals. Anyway, you still have to pay the rent for next month, not a penny less."

  Gu Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Andrew, I believe in my feelings."

  Andrew sneered and said, "Gu, if you can win by betting like this, I will call you Big Brother!"

  Gu Ran laughed secretly in his heart:

  It is true that like father, like daughter.

  Why do you and your daughter both love to set flags so much?

  If I win by accident, won't Sophie call me uncle?

  How can we play boyfriend and girlfriend happily in the future?

  Andrew smiled happily while turning on the TV and switching to the local sports channel.

  The football match between Southampton and Northampton begins.

  The overall strength of Southampton is more than one level stronger than Northampton.

  Southampton completely dominated Northampton, and Northampton was almost at a loss as to what to do.

  Five minutes into the game, Southampton's top scorer David Connolly received a cross from his teammate and scored easily with a beautiful arch of his foot!

  Andrew excitedly raised his arms and shouted, "Aha! Long live the Saints! 1:0! Gu, what did I say? It's only been five minutes since the start of the game and your 1,000 pounds is gone! Your final score of Southampton 0:3 Northampton is wrong!

Even if Northampton can turn the tables later, you have already lost! Your feeling is also wrong! You still have to learn from your uncle me! Playing betting requires stability! You can't rely on your feelings!"

  A barely perceptible smile appeared on Gu Ran's lips, "Oh, it seems to be true."

  But in fact, Gu Ran was very happy!

  This match was exactly the same as he remembered in his previous life!

  Connolly scored a goal in the 5th minute of the first half!

  According to memory, the score in the first half was 1:0, and the real surprise turn would be in the second half!

  A surprise turn that was enough to change the score in the first half and make all lottery fans drop their jaws!
