Chapter 16 : Football counter-buy, villa by the sea!

  "Light~"  

"The host has picked up a professional football skill from the filled bubble: Free Kick: Crescent Moon Scimitar +1. Today's pick-up progress is 10/10."

  Cool!

  It really is a Crescent Moon Scimitar!

  Today's pick was perfect!

  The goals of the accurate long pass and the crescent moon scimitar were both achieved!

  Gu Ran's mind instantly emerged with the slow-motion details of Beckham kicking the crescent moon scimitar.

  Then, Gu Ran felt that the muscles in his legs were becoming stronger, and his ankle and knee joints were becoming more flexible!

  Today's collection was perfect!

  Gu Ran calmly said to Beckham, who was still crying, "Don't be sad, Mr. Beckham, at least your commercial is finished."

  Beckham was stunned. "What? Finished? Didn't you just let me try it first?"

  Gu Ran smiled and said, "No need to try. My shooting style is to pursue absolute naturalness. Believe me, your Crescent Moon Scimitar in its natural state is more stunning than in any other situation. You can go and watch the playback with the director."

  Beckham immediately ran to the fixed camera, and the director also rushed over after hearing the news to watch the replay together.

  "Shocking! It's really shocking!" The director couldn't help but say, "Believe it or not, I was just thinking of this shooting method. It seems that the photographer recommended by the higher-ups is really good! Mr. Beckham, let's use this! No need to reshoot, one take is enough!"

  Beckham wiped away his tears and said in surprise: "Director! This is all thanks to that young photographer! He inspired me! Eh? Where is he? Help me find him! I must thank him very much!"

  The entire filming crew was busy looking for people.

  Gu Ran had already quietly slipped away from the filming beach while Beckham was watching the replay, took off his wig and mustache, changed his vest, and hid his fame and achievements.

  Ding~

  Just after getting into the taxi, Gu Ran saw an eye-popping text message pop up on his phone:

  William Hill Gaming Company has transferred 86,000 to you.

  The winnings from the cold bet are in hand!

  Gu Ran calmly opened the betting software, randomly selected a match, and purchased 1,000 pounds according to the highest underdog odds.

  Gu Ran knew very well that there would be no upsets in these two games, so the 1,000 pounds would definitely be a loss.

  But this is also where Gu Ran's meticulousness lies.

  Not only will I lose today, I will lose tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... I will lose at least 10 games.

  Moreover, every time I bet, I buy the underdogs with high odds to maintain my personality of buying underdogs.

  In this way, after a few big losses, you can buy an underdog that can actually win, and even if the bookmaker investigates, it will not find it a problem.

  As for the remaining 70,000 pounds, you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

  …

  Gu Ran had just stepped out of the taxi and before he had time to put his backpack back into his room, Andrew ran over and mysteriously pulled Gu Ran to the corner.

  Gu Ran looked puzzled, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

  "Gu," Andrew stroked his Xie Guangkun-style hair, "Tonight there's a match between Manchester United and Liverpool, how did you buy it?"

  Gu Ran smiled calmly, "Uncle, I was just a novice last time, I just tried my luck."

  Andrew asked with a straight face, "Gu, uncle is always very kind to you. Every weekend I ask your Aunt Sally to make you lamb kidney pie! You can't lie to uncle! Tell me the truth, did you buy it?"

  Gu Ran said helplessly: "I bought it..."

  Andrew's eyes lit up, "How did you buy it? Quick! Tell uncle!"

  Gu Ran smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, I bought it blindly. There is no chance that I will win. You must not buy from me."

  Andrew sighed, "Gu, uncle treats you as a brother, is this how you guard against uncle?"  

  Gu Ran: ...

  "Okay... I bought a 3-in-1 bet, with Manchester United winning in the first half, Torres scoring a hat trick for Liverpool, and the final score being 2:5. The odds are 275 times."

  Andrew was so shocked that the hairs on his head stood up. "What? You... you really can't win by betting like this! This is totally nonsense!"

  Gu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a calm smile: "I told you so!"

  Andrew stroked a few strands of his hair, and analyzed with a serious expression: "Manchester United won in the first half, but Liverpool staged a comeback at Old Trafford?

The Red Devils are now ranked first in the league, and Liverpool can hardly even get into the top six! And the final score was 1:5? The score was so different? Liverpool scored 5 goals in the second half?

Torres was very strong last season, but his form this season is obviously not good. He is almost playing like a defensive back. Can he score a hat trick?"

  Gu Ran smiled calmly, "That's why I said, uncle, I just buy blindly. A knowledgeable and steady gambling expert like you can tell at a glance that my buying method is nonsense."

  Andrew hissed, "But... last time you won the bet with 86 times odds, you believed in your feelings! Moreover, the situations these two times seem to be the same... Okay! I'll believe you this time! I'll bet against the football bet and the villa will be by the sea!"

  Gu Ran was stunned: What do you mean by "seemingly the same"? They are not the same at all, right? Last time was last time! This time is this time, my uncle!

  Gu Ran quickly said, "Uncle, I don't really feel anything this time. I was really buying blindly this time."

  Andrew laughed, "Gu, I have confidence in you! Chinese people! They all have the mysterious power of the East!"

  No, uncle, listen to me, this is what happened...

  Damn it! I can't explain it clearly even if I have a mouth full of it!

  Gu Ran scratched his head, "Wait, uncle... didn't you say before that you only have 1,000 pounds of private money? This time, you should only buy 30 or 50 pounds, right?"

  If you just use your spare money to buy thirty or fifty pounds, then it's no big deal if you lose.

  Andrew raised his eyebrows mysteriously at Gu Ran. "Gu, you are still young. When you reach my age, you will know not to reveal the amount of your private money. I still have 1,000 pounds - you can't tell your Aunt Sally about this."

  Shit!

  Gu Ran quickly advised, "Uncle! Don't do this! Really! I bought blindly this time! If you buy it the way I do, you will definitely lose! Your 1,000 pounds will definitely go down the drain!"

  Andrew frowned and said, "Gu, kid, why are you still teasing me about what I said last time? Didn't I say last time that your cold buying method would definitely lose? Do you have to retaliate against me like this now?"

  I...

  Gu Ran was speechless, "Uncle, then go ahead and buy it, but don't blame me if you lose. I told you, if I buy it this way, I will definitely lose."

  Andrew was beaming with joy. "Haha, 275 times the odds! Gu, do you know what this means? It means I can make 270,000 pounds this time!

I've already thought about how I'm going to celebrate! Gu! We're not having lamb kidney pie for lunch today, we're having Gorgonzola cheese with fish head pie!"

  As soon as he heard the words "Gorgonzola cheese", Gu Ran's stomach subconsciously churned.

  "Uncle, I have something to do at noon, so I won't eat at home."

  "Oh! That's a pity. Let's do it in the evening. It's just right after watching the game. Cheese and fish head cakes will be more delicious for dinner!" Andrew's face was intoxicated.

  Gu Ran said quickly: "Uncle, I have something to do this afternoon, and I will be back... very late, so please don't wait for me."

  Andrew said regretfully, "That's really unfortunate - do you need to leave some for dinner?"

  Gu Ran waved his hands desperately, "No, no, thank you uncle! But I really don't need it!"

  Andrew smiled and said, "Well, go ahead and get busy."

  Gu Ran then returned to his room, took out the vest and other things in his bag and put them away, tidied up briefly, and pushed the door open and walked out.

  As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Sophie standing on the stairs with a cold face.

  "What were you doing sneaking around in the corner with my dad just now?"
