As the main stadium of the Olympic Games, the Athens Olympic Stadium has its own commercial facilities. There are commercial streets and shopping malls in the vicinity. Most of them are not newly built, but transformed from old buildings. Although the construction speed of the Athens Olympic Stadium has always been criticized, the construction of the business district is very fast, even before the completion of the stadium.

At the corner of a commercial street, the crowd was crowded. Zhang Guan stood in front of a building and looked up at the large sign of “opap” on the signboard. He took out a tourist map and compared it. He found that there was nothing wrong and walked in.

Opap is the abbreviation of Greek football spinach company. Greek football spinach company is the largest spinach company in Greece and a Greek state-owned company. It almost monopolizes the entire Greek spinach market.

The Olympic Games is undoubtedly a huge gold mine for spinach companies, and for speculators, Olympic spinach is also a feast not to be missed. But Zhang Guan remembers many Olympic results, buying a few unpopular through spinach, a speculation is a good way to get rich quickly.

Therefore, Zhang Guan raised funds as much as possible before going abroad to exchange for Euros, even at the expense of loans. At the same time, Zhang Guan signed up for the rehearsal of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, hoping to arrive in Athens earlier to participate in this spinach event.

Zhang Guan first went to the bank to get a debit card. Although the work efficiency of the Greeks was not high, after all, it was very easy for foreigners to apply for a debit card in Greece during the Olympics. Take out your passport and minutes Can be done.

Then Zhang Guan came to the biggest betting station near the Olympic Stadium.

If it is a few years later, the European online spinach industry is maturing, Zhang Guan can completely handle online banking and then conduct online spinach through the website, but this time Internet spinach has no legal status in many European countries, and some countries even have many restrictions. . For example, Finland, the largest online spinaching country in Europe, has a law stipulating that only permanent residents of Finland can participate in online spinach; while the United Kingdom, the largest spinaching country in Europe, has not implemented the “2005 Spinach Act” that legalizes online spinach. Others such as Germany , Italy, Spain, etc. also have no laws and regulations on online spinach.

Therefore, in this era of spinach, the main bet is through live betting.

Opap’s betting stations are located all over Greece, and most of the small and medium-sized betting stations only sell opap’s sports lottery tickets, while some large betting stations, in addition to selling opap’s own sports lottery, also represent major spinach companies in Europe. Sports Lottery. In the case of European countries still striving to protect their spinach industry, this kind of opap is rare in Europe.

The spinach industry is an industry that makes it easier than making money. At the national level, it is natural to hope that local people only buy their lottery tickets; and from the perspective of big spinach companies, it is natural to hope that all countries can open the market.

The European Union has always been committed to the economic and financial integration of the euro area, so it also hopes that the EU countries can open up to each other, including some monopoly industries dominated by state-owned capital. At that time, Greece’s entry into the euro zone was actually opposed by many countries in the European Union. In order to enter the euro zone smoothly, Greece had to promise to open some areas of its own country to allow foreign investment, including the conditional opening of the spinach industry in Greece.

The Olympic Games is a big cake for the entire spinach industry. Greece also knows that it is impossible to swallow this big cake alone. Moreover, in order to build an Olympic venue, Greece also borrowed a lot of money from the EU. The big spinach group pressured Greece through the EU. Therefore, the Greek government allows foreign spinach companies to enter Greece through agency sales, but the only agent is the Greek state-owned company opap.

For foreign spinach companies entering Greece, Greece carries out strict approval and supervision. When it reaches every spinach transaction, opap will draw a certain fee as an agency fee. At the same time, Greece also stipulates that the purchase of foreign spinach companies’ products through opap must be To register an account with opap, you do not need to register for an account to purchase opap’s spinach products directly.

Although there are many restrictions, there are still many people who are willing to spend more time to buy products from foreign spinach companies. Many of them are tourists, especially local tourists in Europe, who are more inclined to buy products from their own countries.

…

Zhang Guan walked into the lobby of the betting station and saw that the walls were covered with LCD TVs, which broadcasted the odds of the Olympic Games in real time. There were also dozens of odds self-checking machines, some of which could check foreign countries. The odds of the spinach company.

Zhang Guan took the newly opened bank card and passport and registered at opap company. Then came to a self-service inquiry machine. He first checked the odds of the men’s 100-meter sprint.

Basically, all the athletes who entered the Olympics with the Olympic a-mark results are listed. As for the b-markers, it is not worth it for the spinach company to put them on. Even if they are put on, no one will buy them.

The odds of the champion are ranked from low to high. The top three are all American players. The first is the defending champion and the sprinter who has broken the world record. Morris Green, after Morris Green, is Sean. -Crawford and Justin Gatlin, Jamaican trapeze Asafa Powell ranked only fourth, the fifth is the Portuguese Francis Obic Viru, followed by the Caribbean island countries St Kitt and Neville Sri Lankan athlete Kim Chris and British veteran Jason Gardner are looking down, and Zhang Guan’s name obviously does not appear on the first page.

The athletes ranked on the front page only listed the odds for winning the championship. Obviously they were regarded as sure to enter the finals, and the athletes afterwards gradually listed the odds for the finals and the semifinals.

“Where am I?” Zhang Guan kept pressing the page-turning key and finally found his name.

“Only one company gave me the odds to enter the semi-finals, and the odds are very low, only 1 to 1.2. Apparently the spinach company thinks that I can definitely enter the semi-finals. I enter the final odds, Ladbrokes is 2 for 1; Ribo for 2.5 for 1; William Hill for 1 for 2.1; Tibo for 1 for 2.5. Hey, this Spanish company opened me the highest, 1 for 3.3.”

Based on these data, Zhang Guan knows that major spinach companies in Europe are relatively optimistic that they can enter the finals.

“Look at my odds of winning… Uh, Ladbrokes 1 loses 80, Ribo 1 loses 100, William Hill 1 loses 80, Timber 1 loses 100, this Spanish spinach company opened 1 Lose 120, and this Italian company opened 1 to lose 150! Opap gave me the odds to win the championship is 1 to lose 180, the Greeks are going to die! I am the rhythm of getting rich!”

Zhang Guan was secretly happy, but looking again, from the fourth page, all athletes have the same odds to win the championship, ranging from 1 to 80 to 1 to 150.

“It seems that this is the highest odds offered by various spinach companies.” Zhang Guan thought to himself.

Large spinach companies have an upper limit when setting the odds. The upper limit of odds given by the British spinach companies is basically 1 to 100. Since the United Kingdom is the most developed country in the European spinach industry, Western and Central Europe The spinach companies basically refer to this British standard.

The biggest business of the spinach company is Football Lottery. Spain in southern Europe has La Liga and Italy has Serie A. The two top leagues and the Premier League also have a competitive relationship. Spain and Italy will naturally not be on par with the British in terms of odds setting. In particular, many spinach companies in Italy have the shadow of the Mafia behind them, and it is not without artificial control of the game. Naturally, the odds are more bold, and they can open odds of 150 or more. Occasional odds such as the Greek opap company that pays 1 out of 200 in the local market also occasionally appear.

As for Northern Europe and Eastern Europe, they are small spinach companies, which can only be mixed in their home countries, and have little market and influence overseas.

The larger the company, the more conservative the odds are given. For example, in the World Cup in Brazil, the big odds for the North Spinach company to North Korea is 1 cap 100, and some small companies win odds Can reach 1 to lose 700.

Zhang Guan started to check the odds of other games. The single-player events are almost the same. The odds for winning the hot players are very low. Players who do not want to win the championship are all about 1 to 100.

In the team project, the most popular basketball championship is of course the American team. The second odds are the Greek men’s basketball team, the Spanish men’s basketball team ranked third, followed by the Argentina men’s basketball team and the Italian men’s basketball team, then Germany, Russia and Cyprus. Black, as for the Chinese men’s basketball team, Ladbrokes’ odds of winning are 1:80. Of course, the Chinese team is not the worst. The highest odds of Japan and Nigeria are 1:100.

“The men’s basketball team’s performance in this Olympics is still very good. Although there is no hope of winning the championship, it has also reached the quarter-finals. It’s just why the Greek men’s basketball team ranked second. The Greek men’s basketball team has been in the past two years. Losing, is it because of the host, because there are too many people buying, and the odds are downright downright?” Zhang Guan thought to himself.

The odds given by the spinach company are not static. According to different game performances, the odds will always change. In addition, if the amount bought is too much, the odds will also fall. Theoretically speaking, even if the odds of 1 to 100 are lost, as long as there is enough buying, it may be reduced to 1 to 1.1.

“Remember that the basketball champion of this Olympic Games is Argentina, but the performance of Argentina in the past two years is indeed very good. It is not an upset. The odds are also very low. I haven’t made a profit by buying it. Let’s watch football!”

Zhang Guan began to check the odds of football.

European football has the strongest atmosphere. The annual sales of spinach in the top European leagues are tens of billions of euros, so the Olympic football is not only the most concerned, but also the most involved in spinach.

However, the Olympic football athletes have an age limit and cannot exceed 23 years of age, which makes many famous big-name football players miss the Olympic Games, and also increases the uncertainty of the Olympic football events. If you are not a senior fan, I am afraid that you will not have too much understanding of athletes under the age of 23, so the odds given by the spinach company has become the most direct way for fans to understand the strength of each team.

From the odds, the four teams of Portugal, Italy, Argentina and Paraguay are the favorites to win the championship, but Zhang Guan did not pay attention to the odds of these strong teams, but directly found an Asian team-Iraq.
