Chapter 592: Manipulating the Odds

Thomasson obviously has some experience in how to manipulate and guide the odds.

In the early stage of betting, he only used 100 million low-grade immortal stones to successfully lower the odds, thus attracting the attention and discussion of a large number of viewers.

After that, he began to slowly place bets, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and continued to increase his bets on Yi Chen's victory.

On the other side, Shadow King also took Shadow King and successfully found the items used by the Flame Clan gladiator.

Through tracking methods, he successfully determined that he was in the palace complex of the arena.

After a search, Shadow King not only found the specific palace of the Flame Clan gladiator, but also determined that in the entire palace complex, the arena only arranged a 200-level strongman to sit in.

And the 200-level Earth Tree Clan strongman, with Shadow King's concealment method, is enough to sneak in and approach silently.

…

"What the hell is going on? Why do so many people still believe there is inside information?"

"Yeah! I originally wanted to take a gamble. After the odds are raised again, I bet on Clay's victory, betting that he is a genius of the Earth Tree Clan! In the end, the odds just won't come up!"

"Could it be that many people are already betting that he is a genius of the Earth Tree Clan? Can he ignore the restraint of the Flame Clan and kill the opponent?"

"If the odds are only 1 to 2.0, it would be a bit worthless to bet on him. After all, if you want to win, you have to bet that he is a genius of the Earth Tree Clan."

"The point is, even if he is a genius, he may not win! This Flame Clan gladiator is undoubtedly a genius of the Flame Clan."

"When the odds of the Flame Clan gladiator are also 1 to 1.9, it is better to bet on the Flame Clan gladiator to win."

"Indeed!"

More than an hour later, the attention to Yi Chen's game has not decreased but increased.

The reason is that many viewers who originally wanted to follow the trend and bet on him to win with 100 million lower-grade immortal stones were surprised to find that the odds had never increased.

This made most of the audience change their minds and decide to bet again, or directly bet on the victory of the Flame Clan Gladiator.

On the other hand, after the odds of Yi Chen's victory began to increase, Thomason began to increase the frequency of betting.

Let the odds slowly drop again to ensure that most of the audience choose to bet on the Flame Clan Gladiator.

Only two or three hours after the betting was opened, the total amount of bets was far ahead, even surpassing a 180-level life-and-death fight in the same period.

This made the attention of this fight rise again.

The total amount of bets increased rapidly.

No matter how the resources and treasures bet on the victory of the Flame Clan Gladiator increased, Thomason always followed up and increased the frequency of betting.

This made some veterans vaguely smell the breath of a big boss secretly controlling the situation, and they secretly followed and bet on Yi Chen's victory.

Because the larger the bet amount, the more likely it is that a big boss firmly believes that the Earth Tree Clan will win this fight.

This situation is not uncommon in major arenas.

Some big bosses are short of resources and treasures, and when they want to make a fortune in the arena, they are unwilling to go out in person, because their reputation will be damaged and there are risks.

Therefore, they let their Earth Tree Clan geniuses sign up for the life-and-death fight, and they place a heavy bet on their Earth Tree Clan geniuses to win, so as to make a lot of money.

In this case, following the big boss to bet, the chance of winning is very high.

Of course, it is not absolute.

In the arena, various accidents and Jedi counterattacks of the weak defeating the strong are never new.

In addition, the odds of Yi Chen's victory are always low. Even if these veterans smell the opportunity with experience, no one dares to bet heavily, but only a small amount of bets on Yi Chen.

Throughout the whole gambling game, Thomason was still betting against countless spectators.

And as the attention increased, the amount of bets also continued to rise.

The only people who really knew this were the person in charge of the Zhulu Arena and a few staff members.

In the interests of the arena, they naturally hope that the bet amount of each game will be as high as possible.

Because the higher the bet amount, the higher the commission of the arena.

In order to promote the increase in the betting amount as much as possible, the arena adopts an anonymous betting method.

Every gladiator can pay a certain deposit and receive a space stone with special functions in the arena.

The resources and treasures in the space stone can only be put in but not taken out, and the image will be transmitted to the staff of the arena.

The bettor only needs to put the betted resources and treasures into the space stone, and the staff of the arena can evaluate the value of the betted resources and treasures based on the image, and then convert it into fairy stones and announce it.

The published data will only show the amount of each bet and the latest odds, but will not show who these bets come from.

The biggest reason for doing this is to help bettors hide their identities.

Reduce the probability of being targeted after winning and getting rewards.

At the same time, it can also prevent some people who place heavy bets from causing a large number of followers, thereby reducing the odds, resulting in the odds not meeting expectations after the heavy bettors win.

If the odds are not high and do not meet expectations, naturally no one will be willing to place a heavy bet.

On the other hand, if someone secretly places a heavy bet, the odds will inevitably make people feel profitable, thereby attracting more viewers to bet and greatly increasing the total amount of bets.

"Master, 6 billion low-grade spirit stones have been bet, and there are still three or four hours before the end of the betting. If we want to maintain the odds later, it will only get higher and higher. Do you still want to continue betting?"

After fifteen or sixteen hours, even Thomason was a little weak and panicked, and could only send a message to Maris to ask for countermeasures.

With his strength of level 190, 6 billion low-grade immortal stones is already a terrifyingly high sum of money.

"Idiot, what is 6 billion low-grade immortal stones? His Majesty can't lose. Even if he loses all of them by accident, as long as the Emperor Ying and I successfully rescue His Majesty, we will not blame you. Resources and treasures are nothing. The key is His Majesty's safety. If anything goes wrong with him, not only you will die, but I will die too."

"So, bet as much as you can. Once you have bet everything, I still have some here. Just follow His Majesty's orders and complete them without any discount."

Maris felt that this subordinate was an idiot, and didn't even know what to worry about.

Only 6 billion low-grade immortal stones, but he was a little weak.

According to his estimation, Shadow Emperor definitely gave all the common resources and treasures he got from the Time Clan, Hyatt Clan, and even Morris to Thomason.

The total value would not be less than 100 million middle-grade immortal stones, which would be 1 trillion when converted into lower-grade immortal stones.

6 billion lower-grade spirit stones, not even a fraction of a fraction.

"I understand..."

Thomason was shocked by this.

He wanted to ask the emperor about his background, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

He knew that he was not qualified to know.

At least, he was not qualified to know now.

After the call ended, he was no longer soft-hearted in betting.

But his mood became more and more uneasy.

But he was no longer worried about what to do if he bet too high and lost, but worried that if he lost, even Maris and Shadow Emperor would not be able to rescue Yi Chen in time.

There were defensive restrictions on the ring.

Even if a strong man took action, he could not break it in a short period of time.
