"That night I knelt in front of Peiping and begged her most of the night, and she finally agreed."

"I can see that Peiping is actually very hesitant."

"I checked later and found that the man's family was very rich. He never got married and claimed that he was waiting for Peiping...I don't know the specific situation. But since you said that, he must be there.

reason."

"I really want to repent, and I don't want to lose Peiping. Besides, she gave me a son."

"This person will only remember the good things in the past when he is in trouble. If I had excellent grades like that man when I was in school; if I didn't follow those people in the street after graduation; if I found a job with a better income

With a higher salary and a more decent job, the situation would not be so bad."

"What's the use of regret?"

"I have to find a way to get money, and it's a lot of money. Only in this way can I tie Peiping's heart."

"But after thinking about it, I found that I can only rely on gambling."

Having said this, Xu Yongde looked up at Hu Pingtao and made a pleading voice: "Give me another cigarette!"

Hu Pingtao did not refuse this time.

"Thank you!" Xu Yongde took a long breath while smoking.

He put away the reminiscence look on his face and let the smoke surround him. After a long time, he slowly asked: "Have you heard of the "field situation" method?"

Hu Pingtao's tone was normal, and his tone was not as cold as before: "I didn't know before, but I only found out what happened this morning."

Xu Yongde's body was a little stiff, but he did not intend to adjust his sitting posture: "Gambling is harmful... As long as the word "gambling" is involved, there are many ways to play it. Pai Gow, mahjong, slot machines... and poker games are just a few of them.

There are more. Just go to Lisboa and you can see all the gambling methods."

"Field situation... is a new way of playing. In fact, it can't be considered new if we say it is new. It's just that not many people know about this way of playing. It is a closed circle."

"There is an old saying that goes well: Nine out of ten bets are cheats. Whether it is an officially licensed casino or the Mark Six Lottery, it is essentially the same, it is a matter of probability. Haha... I only slowly started to understand this after investing millions.

Think about it. If I had known it before, I wouldn't be like this now."

"People who lose money in gambling will find various reasons to think that they are not wrong. Over time, it turns into the theory of "the people who run the casino are doing something secretly". I won't mention right and wrong because it is boring. I will say "

The gameplay of "market situation" is actually created by operators who have fully understood the psychology of gamblers and are very targeted."

"There are many ways to play the market situation. As long as you are willing, you can bet on anything."

"For example, a certain movie star, let's talk about men first, Andy Lau, Zhou Xinchi, Zhou Yunfa... Starting from today, for a period of one month, everything related to them is a reason to bet on the "market situation"."

"Let's talk about Liu Dehua! Sickness, traffic accident, affair with other women, body fat or thin... you can bet on it. The specific odds are based on his recent news, as well as his living habits. Generally speaking,

It is said that it is difficult to bet on the illness of a star. But as long as there are paparazzi, the slightest disturbance cannot be hidden from their eyes. Underground casinos also use this as a basis for winning or losing, and offer different odds."

"I like Andy Lau very much, mainly because he has no scandals with women. For several years in a row, underground casinos have offered odds as high as 1 to 6 for his "situation", but no one has ever won.

"

"In contrast, the betting rate is higher for female celebrities. Especially for newcomers who have just debuted, the so-called "18th-tier starlets." Betting on the "market situation" is whether they will be able to

Being kept, or having an affair with a certain man. The time ranges from a month to half a year, and of course the odds are not too high, usually 1.3 to 1, or even lower."

"Betting on the "market situation" is only limited to old customers. Let alone newcomers, the casino will not reveal any information to them. Because the game is played very carefully, and it is also secret, it cannot expand the scope."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao was very puzzled: "The profits of casinos come from customers. Only by expanding the customer base can they earn more. This makes no sense!"

Xu Yongde explained: "In fact, betting on "market potential" has a long history. Betting on the European Cup and World Cup every year is a way of playing "market momentum". There are also many people betting on every U.S. presidential election."

“The Nobel Prize is selected once a year, and those who run the “market” will give a list of winners in advance and place bets based on this.”

"Every country announces its annual budget, such as military expenditure, medical insurance, infrastructure, etc. This can also be used for gambling. Take the United States' military expenditure this year as an example. The public figure is 770 billion U.S. dollars. The "market situation"

There are two ways to play: one is to gamble relatively small, with "hundred" yuan as the unit, and the floating standard does not exceed the number "one". The other is to gamble with "ten million" as the unit, the rules are the same as mentioned before

.”

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "It seems that you can bet on anything. But what you said is very normal. Many international gambling groups do this."

Xu Yongde said seriously: "The earliest "market situation" gameplay in underground gambling stalls in Hong Kong City was mainly based on the tenure of previous Hong Kong governors and who the new governor appointed by the Saxons was. This gameplay was initially popular among the upper class circles.

, I heard that Li Chaoren chartered a boat there, and that the tie king and the clothing king were also involved. They bet big and played in a very formal way, directly signing a gambling agreement worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions."

“The practice of betting on the market situation cannot be put on the table, and legally operated casinos will not regard this as their main business.”

"Later, the gameplay changed. Mainly because some people did not believe in the practices of regular casinos and thought they were also cheating and stealing everyone's money."

"In response to this situation, underground gambling stalls have come up with alternative "market situation" gameplay."

"The most common one is gambling on having children."

Hu Pingtao was surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm: "What kind of gambling method is it specifically?"

Xu Yongde explained: "For example, when a pregnant woman reaches the delivery period and wants to give birth, she goes to the hospital to wait for delivery. When the casino gets the news, she sends someone to wait on site. In fact, she waits outside the delivery room for the baby to come out, and then records the time... The casino is in the hospital.

Someone will give information in advance and let everyone place bets. According to different odds, the time to give birth has several different levels: "minutes", "ten minutes", and "half an hour". The highest "minutes" will pay out.

The ratio can reach one to three.”

"Betting on the birth of a baby is the most popular method. Because it is very fair, many gamblers will go to the hospital to wait, and together with the people in the casino, bet on the moment when the delivery room opens."

"There were so many people there that we almost caused trouble a few times. Later, the rules were changed. The casino gathered people who were betting on the "market situation" and asked them to nominate a few representatives. But then new problems appeared.

After playing a few times, some people raised questions, thinking that those representatives might have been bribed by the casino to deliberately collude with pregnant women to give birth to their children and make profits from it."

Hu Pingtao was not surprised by this. He said calmly: "It's normal. Conflicts will arise when there are interests. Gambling inherently involves winning and losing. Of course, those who win will not have any objections, and those who lose will have to find reasons. No matter what.

Any kind of fair practice has a shady side in their eyes."

Xu Yongde nodded and said: "Yes! So the way of betting on the "market situation" is also changing. Nowadays, few people bet on having children. They play very outrageous and are becoming more and more courageous."

"A few years ago, someone jumped from the Yinhai Building. This incident made the news at the time. You police officers should have an impression of it, right?" he asked.

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes slightly and tried to keep his tone as normal as possible, but also included some commands: "Tell me everything you know."

Xu Yongde spoke slower than before: "At that time, there was a woman standing on the roof of the building. It was said that she wanted to commit suicide because of emotional problems. The police and firefighters rushed to the scene, and reporters from radio and TV stations were also there. That day in the casino

If a temporary handicap is opened, no matter whether it jumps or not, you will pay one for one."

"Almost all the gamblers who played "potential" placed their bets. I also bought the woman who committed suicide by jumping off the building. Because this kind of thing is fair and cannot be done in secret. No matter how powerful the casino owner is, he will never

Maybe a big living person can climb to the top of the building and jump down. And this kind of gameplay is very fresh and very exciting."

"Although many people tried to dissuade her, the woman still jumped from the building and fell into a pile of pulp."

"No one raised the topic of "fairness or not" again that time. This kind of thing cannot be faked."

"After playing it for the first time, I wanted to play it a second time. But things like people jumping off buildings don't happen every day. In order to expand their business, casinos go out of their way to make a fuss about the "market situation."

"They stipulate that each bet cannot be less than a thousand yuan, and it must be a multiple bet."

As he said that, Xu Yongde raised his finger and pointed to the table opposite: "The ones you just showed me are the betting slips of the casino. The numbers from one to nine represent one thousand and nine thousand. As long as there are ten digits, add one more

"Zero" represents tens of thousands of bets."

Hu Pingtao thought of the betting sheets enshrined in front of Zhang Yacui's tomb with amounts as high as "50". According to Xu Yongde, the betting amount on each sheet was as high as 50,000 yuan.

He picked up the evidence bag containing the bet slip and asked slowly: "This kind of slip is very common and can be made by any printing shop. The stamp is also very simple, with no complicated patterns and no anti-counterfeiting marks.

...Aren’t those who run casinos afraid of others forging their products?”

Xu Yongde quickly explained: "You are right, both the slip and the seal can be counterfeited. The key lies in the ink pad used for stamping. Every time the casino verifies the bet slip, it must use an ultraviolet light to illuminate it. I don't know the specific reason.

.I heard that there seems to be something mixed in the ink pad, which will show different colors under ultraviolet light."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "Go on."

Xu Yongde said: "Later on, the casino opened many new "market situation" projects. For example, choose a certain road section and bet on how many traffic accidents will occur today. Big and small are all counted. If you hit the exact number, the odds are as high as one to one. 5. The upper and lower figures are generally three, and the payout is 1.50."

As he spoke, Xu Yongde secretly observed the changes in the expression on Hu Pingtao's face: "There are also "situations" specifically targeting your police. For example, choosing a housing estate and betting on whether there will be a civil dispute that day. If it is about hurting someone. For similar cases, bets and odds will also increase accordingly.”

Hu Pingtao's eyes were stern.

If he hadn't been exposed to Zhang Yacui's case, he wouldn't have known what gambling "market situation" meant.

The people who came up with this kind of gameplay did it very secretly.

He said calmly: "Tell me about Zhang Yacui! Your relationship with her should not be as simple as it seems on the surface."

Xu Yongde answered without thinking: "She took the initiative to find me first... In fact, a few years ago, when Zhang Yacui was in Form Three, I had already noticed her. There are several promiscuous people in every school. Students. Of course, this is not a bad thing, I mean they have more contact with society. But without the restrictions of parents and teachers, it is easy to go astray."

"It's a coincidence that Zhang Yacui and I often go to the same underground casino. I didn't pay attention at first. After all, there are so many students in the school and I can't possibly know them all."

"One time in a casino, she took the initiative to find me and said she wanted to borrow some money to recover her losses. She asked for a small amount of money, five hundred yuan. Later, she won and returned the money to me, saying that she knew me. So we know each other.”

"I have no such thoughts about Zhang Yacui. Really!"

"There are many men around her, and they are all gangsters. I have met several of them. They often gather in casinos to play. But I can tell that Zhang Yacui should make money from those men. .She always wears very revealing clothes and doesn’t care what others think of her.”

"A year ago, the relationship between Peiping and I was already very tense. I wanted to get money more than ever, and it was a large amount of money. I had been very restrained at that time, although I still played in the casino. But every time I make a bet, I have to be measured and not as crazy as in the past.”

"I found someone from the casino... I have to explain this. I really don't know who the owner of the casino is. The people who host the casino often change, so I can only take the person who was in charge at the time as the main one. I proposed that I want to do something with them. A deal - I drive a school bus and deliberately cause a traffic accident at the agreed time and place."

"The casino was very interested in this proposal. So I signed a secret contract with them."
