Chapter 234: Game Pool

Game Lobby.

Bai Liu led the men in, and went straight to Charles -- Mu Ke had already explained the whole thing to him, but Bai Liu felt the need to meet this extraordinary Fifth Guildmaster in person.

Inside the Gamblers' Guild.

Charles, sitting across the desk, raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, raised his hand to stop the servant from pouring Bai Liu tea, and repeated with amusement what Bai Liu had just told him, "You want to play in the league this year?"

"Isn't that what you intend to do? Mr. Charles?" Bai Liu asked calmly.

"Of course not." Charles dismissed without thinking, "Although I chose you as my [betting horse], normally, [betting horses] have a year's breeding period before they go to the track."

Charles scanned Bai Liu from top to bottom with a slightly critical eye, and then regretfully spread his hands, "Bai Liu , you're not at the peak of your game right now, it's better to stay in the shadows, and I don't mind breeding you for another year, nor, indeed, will the rest of your audience. "

"Breeding?" Bai Liu raises an eyebrow, "So that's why the Charge Points Collection mechanism exists is it? It's all for the sake of building up the power for the big gamble that is the [League]?"

Charles nodded appreciatively, "Yes, you're very smart Bai Liu."

He got up with his civilized staff and walked around behind Bai Liu, "All players in the entire game exist to earn more points, in our [Gamblers Guild] eyes, there are two ways to earn more points in the game, one is called [Gamblers], and the other is called [Betting on Horses]."

"[Betting on horses] is a wagered existence, and you rely on training in the game, being charged by our wagers and playing in leagues to gain points, and that's a pretty rudimentary way of getting your labor, but there's a much more exciting, risky and rewarding way of investing in this game- "

Charles hooked his lips, he flipped his fingers, a strange chip flashed out of nothing between his index and middle finger, he leaned over and placed it in Bai Liu's arms.

"-This method we call [Gambler]."

"As [gamblers] we have chosen you as our [betting horses], invested in charging you, bred and nurtured you, waved the flag for your publicity, made you famous, and then pressed our entire fortunes on you when the annual league came around- "

Charles looked down with deep eyes at Bai Liu on the seat: "- If you win, we can double our investment and earn, if you lose, we lose everything, this is the relationship between [gamblers] and [horse betting]. "

Bai Liu tilts his head back slightly to distance himself from Charles, and he lowers his eyes to the chip in his hand - gold with a dark green background and the value of six.

He remembered that real casinos didn't have chips with such values, which should be unique to the game.

"Essentially, the league this gamble for you [gamblers] to win is the money that both players bet, such a high-stakes game, and will not reach this kind of full participation in the popularity of the odds are too high." Bai Liu asked a light question, "- so someone is sitting on the money to give the basic handicap is it?"

"Yes." Charles replied.

The smile on his face grew more and more meaningful, "The person who sits in the bank is the system, and when the league is betting against each other, the system will place a base fund in each team's gambling pool, and that base fund is the sum of the charging points of each person on both teams-"

Charles, holding out five fingers, "-five times."

"In other words, that is, the higher the sum of charging points on both the enemy and us, the higher the base fund in both teams' gambling pools." Bai Liu fell into a deep thought, "That is to say, if our team wins against a strong team, the higher the probability that the players who bet on charging on us will double their win."

"And this base fund does not include points for subsequent additional bets; the points in the final loser's gambling pool are distributed to the winner in proportion to the bets placed."

Charles gave a simple example, "Let's say you're playing a league game against the King's Guild right now, and the King's Guild team has ten million charge points, and your team has one million charge points, then both of you have 55 million in the basic handicap in your gambling pool."

"And on top of that, the King's Guild's side bet fifty million points, and your side only bet one hundred thousand points, and they have a fund of one hundred and fifty million in their gambling pool, while your gambling pool is only 55.1 million."

"If the King's Guild wins against you, then the players who wagered on the King's Guild get to distribute the points in your gambling pool in proportion to the points they wagered."

"For example, I'm a player who bets on the King's Guild, and out of the fifty million dollars in total bets I alone bet twenty-five million, or fifty percent, so I alone get fifty percent of the fifty-five hundred and ten million in your gambling pool, or twenty-seven and fifty-five million, for a profit margin of 110 percent."

"Very high profitability." Bai Liu Objective Rating.

Charles' eyes swiveled back to fix on Bai Liu's face with a single movement, "Yes, it's a good deal indeed, but it's not a gamble."

Bai Liu looked up at Charles, who raised his hand to touch his smiling bottom lip and continued, "Put another way, what if you had won this match against the King's Guild, and I alone had put up the 100,000 points that were wagered in your gambling pool?"

"Then I can win one hundred and fifty million for one hundred thousand, a profit margin of one thousand and five times."

Charles opened his hands and looked at Bai Liu with a smile, "Baby, that's gambling."

"-Welcome to the Gamblers Club."

"According to this argument, the more risk our team experiences, the more attention it gets, the more negative controversy it has, the smaller the win rate, and the higher the profit margin." Bai Liu rolled his eyes at Charles, "So isn't it just right to compete this year?"

Charles paused for a moment, then looked over at Bai Liu in slight surprise and smiled away, "It seems I've met a gambler even crazier than I am."

He sat back in his seat and spun around, gripping his civilized staff and tapping it sharply on the ground twice before hammering away in slight excitement, "I like your offer, it's just as well that you're at the height of your gimmick right now, and I don't have to bother keeping up a year's worth of discussion for you to maintain until the next league meeting."

Charles looked directly at Bai Liu: "You're in the spotlight right now, if you lose badly in this league, you'll be worthless in the future, are you sure you want to participate this year? Of course if you're sure, I'll make all the support and logistical preparations for you for the league."

Bai Liu: "I'm sure."

Charles frivolously took Bai Liu's hand and lowered his head to kiss it in vain: "As you wish, my white horse Wang Zi."

Bai Liu: "......"

His investors are, slightly, disgusting.

But that's okay, he's a grown man and perfectly capable of putting up with this for money.

--------

After Bai Liu walked out of the Gambler's Club guild, he killed his way straight to his Scavenger's Guild.

Charles reminds him to be prepared for business if he's going to play in the league - things like player appearance, like the suitability of the guild name to the warband, and even the guild icon, which are all things to be highly aware of.

After Bai Liu arrived at the guild and consulted the group of members, he simply and simply changed the name of the guild to Wandering Circus.

Then the next thing that came out was the heavy news that they were going to be in the league this year.

There was an uproar.

But Bai Liu didn't force them to turn in props in order to participate in the league like other guilds, participate in high-risk games to find high-level props, or even force them to charge to expand the battlegroup to recharge the batteries - all of these Charles took full responsibility for, this guy is a little bit of a bad taste in people, but the resources are really good.

The players for the Company Warriors have been selected.

Obviously, for a guild to participate in a major event like the league, according to common sense, it should be a move that poured in the efforts of the entire guild, but Bai Liu took care of it all by himself and simply informed them.

The members were a bit overwhelmed and worried at first, but looking at Bai Liu's light-hearted look and thinking of the twists and turns he has gone through, they were miraculously stabilized.

But it doesn't seem impossible to win if it's President White ......

In this moment, they gained a new understanding of this amazing guild.

They really didn't seem to have to pay anything for this guild, because even for top events like the guild's participation in the league, their president hadn't even let them worry about it, telling them to just grow up in this community without worry.

"So is there anything we can do for you, Chairman Bai?" Someone asked cautiously, "It happens to be support season, do you need us to help you with support or something?"

-It's also really strange for members to do nothing for something as big as a guild participating in a league!

"Of course we need support, please help me spread the word that I'm going to participate in the league." Bai Liu smiled slightly, "Then there's singing my praises, saying that I'll never be able to win, exposing our team's various shortcomings, and better yet, saying that you guys don't support my participation in the league at all, but I'm hell-bent on participating on my own, and that's about all the support is going to be, so please do it, guys."

Members: "......"

Members: "？？？？"

What's this whole new way of responding to support?

Wang Shun, who was at the side, had been confused from the moment he heard that Bai Liu had forced him to participate in the league this year, and when he heard about Bai Liu's strange way of supporting him, the patriarch, who had accompanied the King's Guild to the league several times, was dumbfounded.

He had never seen such a response!

"...... No, Bai Liu, what are you doing?!" Wang Shun, his eyes glazed over, jogged along behind Bai Liu, "What are you letting them sing your praises for? The support of the players will directly affect whether you can get the death medal or not ......"

"I probably won't be able to get it before the match." Bai Liu made a clean decision, "I'll wait for the official game to consolidate my support with my performance before I get the gold medal, it's more cost-effective for me to operate negatively before the league."

Wang Shun's eyes glazed over, "What's cost-effective?"

Bai Liu smiled slightly, his eyes glowing slightly, "I'm going to pull up the odds and place a bet on [Wandering Circus], I just realized that there's [table] play hidden in this game, it's really interesting."

Wang Shun: "！！！！"

Wang Shun held his forehead with a headache, "Did you talk to Charles?"

He knew something like this would happen when he put these two people together who liked to mess around!
