Nathan and the Twelve-Year Gamble Chapter 13

The days flow like water, and youth is a river full of desires, which often drowns us in our drowsy dreams.

We bet on soccer every day in the East. The European Cup in June is in full swing, and there are even more minor leagues. Once the bookmaker opened a total of more than 100 games, and we simply bet on all of them. Of course, only Fatty could come up with this idea. He said that he mainly wanted to figure out what the probability of winning would be if he bet on every game.

We didn't study those small leagues at all, and we couldn't even remember the names of many of the teams. We just sorted them out on the left, and when we opened the computer the next morning, we found that there was no winner or loser. It seems that this kind of gambling is purely for nothing.

Mason Ouyang hangs out with us every day and doesn't take classes seriously. He has also recently learned how to play basketball. One night, he followed Fatty and won a "five-in-one" bet (betting on five teams in five games at the same time). He actually won more than ten thousand yuan with five hundred yuan!

That night I bet two thousand and the fat guy bet ten thousand. The odds of nearly thirty times made us feel the joy of winning money. That unspeakable excitement was running rampant in our hearts, and our faces were shining with a layer of light as if they were coated with lard.
