All-round Athlete

Chapter 46: Complete Audit

Ladbrokes Corporation.

"Director, just received a bet that needs to be confirmed and reviewed, and it was made at an agency point of OPAP in Greece."

The director nodded and clicked on the bet. At the same time, everyone in the office looked at the TV hanging on the wall. The betting information that needs to be confirmed and reviewed has already appeared on the TV screen.

The office is full of technicians responsible for odds calculations. When encountering a bet that needs to be confirmed and reviewed, these technicians will discuss whether to agree.

"3,000 euros to bet on Iraq's 4:2 victory over Portugal. This is close to the upper limit of our company's single bet. The odds are 100 to 1, which means that if the customer wins, our company will pay the customer 300,000 euros. "The director paused for a moment, and then said: "Go and find out how much betting funds have been collected on the score of this game."

"Currently, the total amount of score bets received for this game is 830,000." Someone answered immediately.

The director nodded, and said, "That means the bonus of this 3,000 euro bet has exceeded the limit ratio."

Formal gaming companies have a limit ratio, which limits the return of single bets to not exceed the ratio of the total betting amount. Some are one-tenth, some are one-twentieth, and the most can reach one percent. For example, if a ball game receives a total betting amount of 1 million, and the limit ratio is one-tenth, which is 100,000, then the amount returned for subsequent single bets cannot exceed 100,000. Once the amount returned exceeds 100,000 The betting company has the right not to accept the order.

Ladbrokes implemented a limit ratio of one-twentieth in the match between Iraq and Portugal, and the total amount of score betting is currently 830,000 euros, which means that according to the limit ratio, the return amount of a single bet cannot exceed 4.15 million euros. The return amount of Zhang Guan's bet is 300,000 euros, far exceeding the figure of 41,500.

"Tell me what you think!" the director asked.

Someone immediately answered: "Although this bet exceeds the quota ratio, the probability of Iraq beating Portugal 4:2 is zero, so we can accept this bet regardless of the quota ratio."

"I agree with this view." Another person said: "Iraq is a country that has just experienced war, and they can't even guarantee daily training; while the Portuguese team has many top European young players. The strength is not at the same level at all. Although it is still possible for Iraq to beat Portugal 4:2, but from the perspective of probability, it can be regarded as zero."

The third person continued: "We can also make an analogy. Even if Iraq beats Portugal 4:2, we need to pay this customer 300,000 euros, but the current betting amount has reached 830,000 euros, which means we still It can make a profit of 500,000 euros, and the betting stake will definitely continue to increase, so we don’t have to worry about losing money.”

"Do you think someone got the inside story?" the director asked.

"Probably not. This bet was made at the OPAP agency station in Greece. I guess it is probably a bet made by tourists. For many rich tourists, 3,000 euros is nothing. It should be pure tourists. Want to make a fortune. We can also adjust the odds immediately after accepting this bet."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"It seems that everyone has agreed to take this bet. Do you have any objections?" After the supervisor asked, he found that no one had any objections, so he confirmed and agreed to the bet. Then he said: "Reduce the odds of the next one by 50%, and keep an eye on it. If it is really an opponent who is looking for trouble, tell me right away."

"Director! The data monitoring department has discovered a strange phenomenon. Someone has been betting on a super unpopular, each betting is 500 euros, and the current betting amount has already reached 3,000 euros."

"Call over the data immediately." The director looked up at the big TV on the wall, and then said: "Why is it the agent of OPAP in Greece? It seems that it is still a tourist's bet. The 3,000 euros should be made by the same person or the same group. The betting target is the men's 100-meter sprint champion, China's Guan-Zhang, with odds of 80 to 1. How could an Asian be the Olympic champion of the 100-meter sprint! Why are there so many strange things today!"

The director frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Observe again to see if you will continue to bet. If the amount exceeds 5,000 euros, stop receiving it first and review and confirm."

...

OPAP Inc.

"This account has been betting six times in a row, each betting 500 euros, and the betting amount is also on the Chinese athlete Zhang in the men's 100-meter sprint." An information analyst said.

"I really don't know how this client came up with the idea to invest all his money in a Chinese athlete. There are so many strong men in the men's 100-meter event in this Olympic Games. How could the Chinese win the championship! This client must be a lunatic." Another person Open your mouth and say.

"The Chinese player he bet on is named Guan-Zhang. He is 18 years old this year and holds the Asian record. His current personal best time in the 100 meters is 9.98 seconds. This time was created by him 10 days ago."

"Should we pause for a moment? He has already bet 5,000 euros. According to the ratio of 180 to 1 offered by our company, if he wins, we will pay him 900,000 euros."

"I don't think there is any need to worry. Although 9.98 seconds in the 100 meters is very fast, at the level of the Olympic Games, it is possible to win a medal if you run at least within 9.90 seconds. The gold medal must be within 9.85 seconds. It is possible for a player to break the world record and win the championship. It is also very sensitive. If it is said that the time of ten days improves by more than 0.1 seconds, it is absolutely impossible for athletes of this level to happen.”

Analysts have voiced their opinions.

The head of the department lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Check out this client's information for me."

"Okay, but it will take a little time. We have to apply for permission with the customer service department, and it may take a little time." The information analyst said.

The protection of customers' private information in Europe is extremely strict. Whether it is at the EU level, at the national level or at the company level, there are clear regulations on the protection of personal privacy. Knowing that customer information also needs to go through a process, and you can only check it after applying for relevant permissions.

"Those people in the client department are too slow. When they give me permission, this client may have already invested tens of thousands of euros. We can't wait like this." The department head said anxiously.

"Then why don't we suspend it first and enter the review and confirmation process." Someone immediately came up with an idea.

The supervisor shook his head, vetoing the proposal, and then he said, "Inquire about the betting location of this account."

"It's the Betting Center of the Commercial Street of the Sports Complex, betting machine No. 7." The analyst immediately found the address, and then continued, "I guess the customer at this location is probably a tourist."

"Notify the security department that I need to monitor the betting center of the commercial street of the comprehensive stadium." The supervisor said. Watching the video surveillance of your company's betting stations is an internal management matter of the company and does not violate the relevant customer privacy protection regulations.

The staff immediately contacted the security department, and the security department responded immediately, allowing the monitoring screen to be retrieved.

"Director, I have obtained the monitoring screen provided by the security department. Look, this is the No. 7 betting machine. This man should be the customer who made the bet."

The supervisor immediately went to the computer. The video surveillance showed that it was not very clear, but it could still be seen that the client was an oriental man with black hair and yellow skin.

"It's an Asian from East Asia. He bet on a Chinese player to win the championship, so this client must also be Chinese, so his behavior can be understood as supporting his compatriots, although this behavior is a bit idiotic." The supervisor opened his mouth to analyze.

Then, he let out a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was malicious betting by competitors or other companies, but it is not currently.

"Continue to take orders! Anyway, it is impossible for a Chinese to win the Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter sprint. His continued betting is just giving money to the company." The supervisor smiled slightly, and then said: "I really want to remind this customer, Competitive sports look at the strength of athletes, not their nationality, and perhaps this client wants to use this method to show support for his compatriots, but this is definitely an irrational behavior."

Zhang Guan has been betting all the time, and there is no limit to the review and confirmation of a gaming company.

If someone says that the Chinese can win the 100-meter sprint championship in the Athens Olympics, then this person is either crazy or a fool. The analysts of the gaming company are obviously not lunatics or fools. In their opinion, the possibility of an Asian winning the Olympic 100-meter championship is zero. Even if the odds are surprisingly high, the gambling company has not restricted Zhang Guan's betting.

During the Olympic Games, there are always some strange people doing some strange things, and Zhang Guan's betting is classified into this category.

Zhang Guan invested the remaining nearly 100,000 euros in himself. The purpose of the scattered betting method he used was to avoid the review of the gaming company and to get the bonus smoothly. If all the 100,000 euros are invested in one company, the gambling company may have some means to avoid paying the bonus of nearly 10 million at that time. More than one million, it is not worthwhile for the gaming company to use some disgraceful means to not pay the bonus.

...

In front of the betting shop, a reporter was holding a microphone, and the three English letters "BBC" on the microphone were unusually conspicuous. Opposite the reporter, a videographer was dragging the camera, and the lens was aimed at the reporter.

"The Athens Olympic Games is about to open, and now a large number of tourists are pouring into Athens, which has brought a great boost to the local economy. While watching the exciting games, many tourists don't mind playing both hands, which is good for the gaming industry in Athens , is clearly a harvest season."

The reporter pointed to the betting shop behind him, and then said: "I am standing in front of a betting center near the Olympic Stadium in Athens. A large part of the people who come here to bet are tourists. Let's take a look now. Tourists Which sports and athletes are we optimistic about."

The reporter opened the door and walked into the betting shop, scanning the people passing by in the betting shop with his eyes, looking for his interview target.

In the eyes of Easterners, all Westerners look the same. If a Caucasian stands in front of you, the Easterner will definitely not know which country he is from. In the eyes of Europeans, Caucasians can be distinguished by their appearance, clothing, accent, etc.

However, the reporter hopes to find someone who is obviously a tourist to show that his interview is more authentic, and it is best that this person has already made a bet.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared in his sight. This person just got up from finishing betting, holding a thick wad of lottery tickets in his hand.

"Black hair, yellow skin, an oriental man, this man must be a tourist! We went to interview him."

———————————

The third chapter is delivered. Regarding the athletes' participation in gambling, I checked a lot of information before preparing this plot. I only found out that the Premier League prohibits athletes from buying football lottery tickets, and I didn't find out the rules of the Olympic Committee. In addition, a case was also found. During the London Olympics, an Irish athlete bought a game opponent to win, and then lost the game to win money. It was considered illegal. Passing the test can be inferred from this. It is allowed for athletes to buy events that have nothing to do with themselves. Athlete betting Winning games by yourself is also allowed. Passing the test is written from a historical background, and there is some obsessive-compulsive disorder in the rationality of the plot, and there may still be some small bugs, but when writing, I will try to check as much information as possible, at least my attitude will be serious and rigorous.
