The other gamblers were all reckless, unable to control themselves. In contrast, when Ye Qiu said he wouldn’t play, he really didn’t play.
As for why he didn’t play, it was because he knew there were too many certainties, so he could only wait to see the results of the third horse race.
The Huo family mbers went to play again, but they didn’t gamble much. Just like Huo Yingying’s cousin who, by following Ye Qiu’s bets, suddenly earned millions, enough to keep a small celebrity entertained for a while.
These things were definitely not sothing Mr. Huo should know about.
"Dr. Ye, I’ll treat you to a al when you have ti."
Huo Yingying’s cousin said.
However, even Mr. Huo couldn’t find ti to invite Ye Qiu, let alone this playboy.
When the third race started, and while Ye Qiu was watching, Huo Yingying asked, "Then who do you think will be in the top five this ti?"
Picking five out of fifteen, the odds of winning were very low, comparable to that of a lottery in China. However, Ye Qiu felt that determining the results here based on horse races was much fairer than the lottery back ho.
"I don’t know," Ye Qiu said straightforwardly.
Huo Yingying found it hard to believe that Ye Qiu actually didn’t know.
As the third race reached its climax, while the surrounding spectators were cheering loudly, the results ca out quickly. This ti, first place was neither number seven nor number nine, but number five, which no one had been optimistic about.
Could these people have made an agreent with each other?
That was definitely impossible.
After all, everyone was competing for first place, and the prizes were awarded based on rank. Besides the jockeys getting bonuses, the horse owners and trainers all had stakes. Cheating would be extrely difficult.
Moreover, if a horse consistently didn’t perform well, not only would the jockey be penalized, but the horses would also no longer be used for racing.
There was an elimination rate involved, which reduced the possibility of cheating and actually made betting harder.
Before the fourth race started, which was when people were placing bets, Ye Qiu started heading towards the betting station again.
"Dr. Ye, you’re playing again?" Mr. Huo was surprised.
He thought Ye Qiu had already made quite a bit.
"Another gamble, I’m planning to buy a luxury house for my girlfriend."
Ye Qiu was, of course, referring to Liu Lingxiu.
He was planning to buy a multi-billion dollar luxury villa on the hillside here in Hong Kong for Liu Lingxiu.
Not only Mr. Huo, but also Huo Yingying and the other Huo family mbers hadn’t expected this.
This Ye Qiu was too generous.
Whether he won or not, with Ye Qiu’s status, he was sure to make it happen, which made Huo Yingying sowhat envious of Liu Lingxiu.
Liu Lingxiu also hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be like this.
At least in Jinling, she always maintained a state of non-contention, and she felt quite satisfied as it was.
If Ye Qiu were to buy her a luxury house in Hong Kong, what would others think if it got out?
Now with Ye Qiu, Liu Lingxiu, Huo Yingying, and other Huo family mbers there, Ye Qiu spent another 3 billion, betting separately on the single odds for the first-place horse, and also on the top three and top five.
If he won them all, he would surely make over ten billion in prizes.
Imdiately after Ye Qiu made his bet, the odds he purchased dropped significantly. However, several Huo family mbers who followed his lead placed bets ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, which was their pocket money. It wouldn’t matter if they lost.
If they spent tens of millions following Ye Qiu, regardless of winning or losing, they’d definitely be scolded by Mr. Huo.
Besides, betting is all about luck.
Having fun was fine, but truly wanting to get rich off of it was certainly unlikely.
With all that, Ye Qiu had already spent 6 billion in total.
Of course, if one counted his previous winnings, even if he lost this ti, he would still co out ahead by a few billion.
When they returned to their seats, indeed, a reporter ca to interview Mr. Huo, who just made a brief appearance to show he was in good health. As for the interview, he didn’t accept it, so the reporter just snapped a photo to show that Mr. Huo was in good health and rarely ca with his family to Shatin Racecourse to watch the horse races.
For other private matters, as long as Mr. Huo was present, they dared not dig too deep. These were not journalists they could afford to provoke.
Of course, Huo Yingying was there too. Being a popular actress, she was even more favored by those entertainnt reporters, especially the paparazzi.
But they could only interview her if they got consent from both her and her agent, Li Fanghua, otherwise, they could only take a picture.
And whether the photos would be published was yet to be known.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu sat down, holding Liu Lingxiu’s hand, Ye Qiu asked, "Are you nervous?"
"If my parents find out, they probably won’t be able to sleep tonight."
Even though Liu Daqing and his wife had seen millions, if they heard that Ye Qiu spent billions on betting, they might think Ye Qiu had gone mad.
In the fourth race, when numbers seven, nine, and five surged ahead, the horse number six that Ye Qiu bet on lagged behind.
"Ye Qiu, aren’t you nervous now?"
"Nervous about what? Win or lose, I won’t lose out," Ye Qiu said as he looked directly at Huo Yingying.
However, Mr. Huo felt that Ye Qiu wasn’t just relying on luck, believing that this young man had a good understanding of horse racing.
Thinking about the possible identity of this young man, Mr. Huo thought it very likely.
"Tian Ji’s horse racing was recorded in ancient tis," Ye Qiu said.
When the race ended, the surprise for those Huo family mbers around Huo Yingying was exactly as Ye Qiu had bet.
Whether it was the first place horse, the fifteen out of three, or the fifteen out of five, he hit them all, undoubtedly winning over 12 billion Hong Kong dollars this ti.
This more than ten billion could indeed buy a very nice luxury house in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Huo, now help contact the real estate agent," Ye Qiu said as he looked at Huo Yingying’s cousin.
"Dr. Ye, are you sure you want to buy now?"
"Of course, not less than a five billion luxury house."
With the networks of playboys like that of Huo Yingying’s cousin, they definitely knew many people, and in Hong Kong, if you had money, buying a property was quite easy.
During the fifth race, Ye Qiu didn’t place a bet.
But in the sixth race, Ye Qiu placed another bet, this ti switching the fourth and fifth places, but again he won several billion.
And then during the seventh race, Ye Qiu didn’t place any bets, until the eighth race ca and Ye Qiu bet again.
When the eighth race results ca out, besides Mr. Huo and Liu Lingxiu, the way Huo Yingying and those Huo family mbers looked at Ye Qiu was as if they were looking at a monster.
In that race, Ye Qiu won again, clearing out the entire jackpot, more than 40 billion accumulated over that period, had all been emptied by Ye Qiu.
