Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh sleepless night
Lu Yao was sitting on the carriage returning to Lu Mansion. Tangxi asked Lu Yao a question. He didn't understand it. Since Lu Yao personally asked Lu Geng to come over, why didn't he tell Lu Geng directly the solution and marketing strategy? In Tangxi
It seems that Lu Geng does not seem like the kind of person who can think about problems independently and then find solutions, nor does he seem like someone who spends a lot of time studying football betting.
Lu Yao seemed very confident about this. He understood Lu Geng very well. Lu Geng would definitely go all out to develop the football lottery industry after understanding the stakes. After all, gambling was prevalent in the Song Dynasty.
Now Lu Yao's bank has opened, so he is sure that more people will come to buy lottery tickets.
Football lottery actually originated in Europe. Although Cuju has a long history in our country, football lottery came into being with the popularity of football. There are many types of lottery, such as winning and losing lottery, goal lottery, half full time, single game and so on.
.Different from other digital lotteries, it is predictable and entertaining, and the winning rate is higher than other lottery methods. Technical analysis of handicap and odds and collection of team information are important means of winning. Worldwide,
Football lottery tickets are sold by legally registered lottery companies or government lottery agencies. China's football lottery started late, and was launched on October 26, 2001. As the name suggests, football lottery is a competitive lottery, which is completely different from other digital lotteries and has predictable characteristics.
The sex, viewing value, and winning rate are also higher than other lottery games. There are many factors closely related to it, ranging from clubs, transfer markets, stars, lottery companies, to formations, weather, television broadcasts, etc., each of them can become a
Discuss the topic of football research. Single betting is when lottery players make predictions for the 13 games in the current round, that is, for each game, they choose one of three outcomes: "win, lose, or draw". 3 means the home team
Win, the away team loses; 1 means the home team is tied with the away team; 0 means the home team loses, the away team wins. If the prediction result is not unique, it constitutes a compound bet. The compound bet calculates the number of bets based on a combination of numbers. However, foreign football lottery and our country's football lottery
There are certain differences. Here are Italy and the United Kingdom as examples. There are two types of Italian football lottery: totocacio and totogol, with an annual circulation of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. Among sports lotteries, football lottery accounts for 90% and has become the Italian Olympic Committee’s official lottery.
The main economic source also brings economic income to the country. According to statistics, lottery revenue accounts for about 1.5% of the national fiscal revenue, ranking 15th in the national economy. The key to the enduring popularity of Italian football lottery is that "low value and high value"
"Sell a lot" and "Small money makes big money". The so-called "low value, high sales" means cheap. Each bet is only 700 lire, which is equivalent to 3.2 cents of RMB. In Italy, 700 lire can only buy two boxes of matches or one match.
Ice cream, people don't care much about this insignificant amount of money, and they don't feel bad even if they don't win the lottery; the so-called "small money to make big money" means spending 700 lire to buy a lottery ticket, and if you win the jackpot, you can get 15 billion lire (
approximately US$10 million).
Italy's football lottery is a guessing game activity that combines sports with entertainment. It can not only raise funds for the development of sports, but also promote the popularization and improvement of sports activities and cultivate public awareness of participation in sports. This is similar to the modern Olympic Games.
The spirit of emphasis on participation is completely consistent. Football stars from all over the world are still vying to play in Italy. People predict that the Italian football lottery market will only rise and not fall.
All Italian football lotteries use a computer sales system, which combines offline and online. The 14 regional sub-centers across the country and the sales terminals under their jurisdiction adopt an offline action method. Each retail point
The sales terminal operates independently; after the 24:00 issuance cycle ends every Saturday, the sales data of each retail point from 7:00 to 12:00 on Sunday are sent to the regional sub-center, and then the sub-center reads the retail data into the computer for summary and statistics
, storage and archiving, this process ends at 1 p.m. on the same day; from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the same day, each branch center summarizes data to the national center through the online networking system and seals all information. The football game starts at 4 p.m., and 1 hour after the game ends
The winning results are announced every hour. The system has two main characteristics: First, because the sales terminal adopts an offline mode, the system cost is relatively cheap, the operation cost and management cost are relatively low, and the technical skills requirements for managers and operators are not too high.
It is easy to promote and use; secondly, compared with ordinary computers, the special lottery ticket vending machines used in sales terminals have the characteristics of multi-function, easy and fast operation, reliable operation and good confidentiality performance; they have a friendly and clear interface with ticket buyers.
It can be used off-machine or online (reserved interface), and lottery tickets can only be sold if a specific storage module is inserted into the machine, and a special data reader is required to read the sales data.
The UK is also a country where football lottery is popular. In 1921, the UK established its first lottery company, which mainly issued football lottery tickets. By the 1990s, football lottery had become the main source of British sports funds.
The British football lottery is printed and distributed by the British Sports Aid Company and sold through Texaco supermarkets across the country. It is generally issued once a week, and the lottery is drawn on the weekend. Each bet is 1 pound, and the jackpot is up to 1 million pounds. In the early days,
The gameplay of the football lottery is to predict 8 draws except 0:0 in 50--56 games. If the prediction is correct, you will get 3 points, with a maximum score of 24 points. The bonus will be determined by the level of points in each round.
The football lottery not only predicts the results of victory, loss and draw, but also adds who will score first in the whole game; who will score first in each quarter (90 minutes in the whole game, every 15 minutes is a quarter, divided into 6 quarters); first half, second half
The score; the total score of the game, etc. These changes make the atmosphere of the football lottery more enthusiastic. In addition, in order to meet the requirements of bettors, the lottery company also adds the winners of the World Cup, European Cup, Premier League, FA Cup and other competitions to the final
The top scorer, even the results of the national team’s participation in international competitions, the next coach of the national team, etc. are included in the prediction range. These practices greatly increase the attractiveness of football lottery.
The British Football Lottery operates on a large scale and has relatively complete sports management. The British Football Lottery Company, like the Italian Football Lottery Company, enjoys a very high reputation in the world. The odds they propose (depending on the difficulty of prediction) are 1 to 1
1 to 1 pays 100 or more) often becomes one of the basis for some professionals to analyze the progress of the game. According to statistics, 80% of British people have purchased football lottery tickets. In 1995, the total revenue from football lottery tickets in the UK was 2.7 billion pounds.
, 50% of which is used as bonus return, 12% is used for tax payment, 10% is used for administrative expenses, and 28% is used as public welfare fund. 20% of the public welfare fund (150 million pounds) is used to develop sports (football receives 40 million pounds)
Funding from the British pound). These funds are allocated by the four local sports councils in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In 1995, the distribution of income from the football lottery was: England 1.25 billion pounds, Scotland 13.3 million pounds,
Wales £7.5 million and Northern Ireland £4.2 million.
In fact, before deciding to start a football lottery, Lu Yao also thought about what kind of lottery method should be suitable for sale in this era. In the end, Lu Yao chose the simplest way of guessing the outcome. After all, now
For Lu Yao, the most important thing is to make everyone recognize football betting, know that this kind of thing exists, and be willing to buy a bet when there is nothing to do. As for the rest, how to make the football betting industry bigger and stronger, that should not be
Lu Yao will have to worry about this problem. Once the Cuju competition is over and the manager of the winning team takes over, it will be left to him to handle it on his own.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but think of what he had just said to persuade Lu Geng. Now it seems that Lu Geng indeed made more money than the people who took over the football lottery later. However, if this Cuju competition continues
If the situation continues, once the number of teams increases and the scale of the competition expands, the bonus pool will increase exponentially. It is really hard to say who will earn more, the operator or Lu Geng. Therefore, the key to the final issue is still
Back to this Cuju competition, whether it can be successfully held.
Lu Yao thought like this, the carriage had already arrived at Lu Mansion.
After returning home, Lu Yao didn't say anything. After eating, he completed the writing of the two novels that were equivalent to daily tasks as usual. When Tangxi took the manuscripts and sent them to Cao Han and Han Yunyu, Lu Yao
Sitting in front of his desk, he began to think for the last time, whether he had really thought everything through in recalling the Cuju competition.
First consider the objective factors, the venue. Lu Yao and Zhe Kexing had already inspected it this morning. Although it is still a little short of Lu Yao's perfect standard, the perfect score can reach nine out of ten. The Bird's Nest Stadium now needs to
There should be no problem in holding this Cuju competition. The audience seats, commentary seats, players' rest area, including the exclusive area reserved for Emperor Zhao Zhen, although it looks a bit crude according to the current conditions, but this is the Song Dynasty, it is already considered
It's very well done. The commentary booth is not too far from the audience, which is a great help to the three commentators, that is, they don't have to shout into the loudspeaker at the top of their lungs throughout the game to provide commentary.
In addition to the Bird's Nest Stadium, Lu Yao also briefly checked the food court area where Lao Chen and his three families will open tomorrow. The place is quite big, and according to Tang Xi, Lao Chen was in the food court area this morning.
At that time, some people who knew Lao Chen from the outer city had already made an appointment to go to his stall to buy food tomorrow. Lu Yao thought, it seems that as long as the food street solves the venue problem, there should be no need to worry about the passenger flow.
After all, these three families are quite familiar with each other in the outer city. Because they have been doing things in various places in the outer city before, they know more people. Wait until tomorrow, if their friends know that they are going to go to eat and drink.
And the price is low, so why not buy one to save your face?
After the food street and your stadium venue are resolved, the next issue is the personnel issue. Regarding this, Lu Yao now feels more relieved. Although he was not on site to inspect with Zhe Kexing this afternoon, his brother was doing the work
Lu Yao was still trustworthy. Zhe Kexing had already said in the morning that he would invite the trio of Bao Zheng and the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che to go to the Bird's Nest Stadium in the afternoon to do a final inspection before the official game started.
In fact, in modern terms, Lu Yao's series of activities today are completely equivalent to an advance rehearsal for tomorrow's competition process.
Lu Yao is not worried at all about the abilities of the trio of Bao Zheng and the two brothers from the Su family. After all, their performance in the previous two warm-up matches was fine. Although the venue has become larger, it may affect Bao Zheng's physical strength.
, but after all, he is just a side referee, and the energy consumed by running in a straight line will not tire him out. What's more, Bao Zheng is the kind of person who never fights unprepared battles. He must also be fighting for these days.
Formal competition to exercise your body.
As for the commentary, Lu Yao doesn’t have to worry. In fact, what surprised Lu Yao the most in this Cuju competition was the commentary trio of Su Shi, Su Che and Zhe Kexing. Originally, Lu Yao
Yao wanted them to just liven up the atmosphere and give a brief explanation. After all, although Su Shi and Su Che had read the manuscript, Lu Yao felt that their understanding of Cuju was not enough at the time. But it turned out that
, in the two previous warm-up games, the performance of this trio in commentary was, in modern terms, superb. Even Lu Yao was so excited by their commentary once or twice. Lu Yao was so excited.
This is all the case, not to mention the people watching from the sidelines who are exposed to Cuju for the first time. Therefore, as commentators, Su Shi and Su Che are very qualified. These two people will be responsible for mobilizing the atmosphere during the game, saying
Some scenes also include simple Cuju knowledge and competition conditions. As the instructor of these eight teams, Katsuki Zhejiang is also the soul of this Cuju competition. Among these three people, he has to bear more professional knowledge.
and instilling tactical knowledge. However, this is not a problem for Zhe Katsuyuki. After all, he comes into contact with these things every day, and the familiar ones cannot be more familiar.
Now for the commentators and referees, what they have to do is to come to the Bird's Nest Stadium in person the day before the official game starts, adapt to the new venue, and make basic preparations. There should be no other problems in these two aspects.
Already.
The last objective factor to consider is the issue of the audience. The audience aspect involves the sale of tickets and the selection of audience members. Lu Yao is very lucky about this. When he didn’t think much about this issue, Zhao Zhen
He had already given himself a good strategy, and Lu Yao also agreed very much with Zhao Zhen’s approach. Finally, Lu Yao combined Zhao Zhen’s ideas and made a plan for how to choose the audience, and each audience had one game.
The game requires a penny to purchase a symbolic ticket. Lu Yao thought that all the spectators should be able to accept this ticket price. As for the selection of personnel, due to the first game and the size of the Bird's Nest Stadium, this is also a price.
This is a helpless move, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in this aspect in the future.
As for the popularity and the people's attention, these are all Zhao Zhen's imperial edicts can have an effect. It has to be said that since Zhao Zhen has promised Lu Yao to do a good job in this Cuju competition, now as the person with the highest authority
As the emperor, in order to attract more attention to this game, it is normal to use the power of the emperor. And when the official game starts tomorrow, Zhao Zhen will also go to the Bird's Nest Stadium to watch the first game. Regarding this situation
Lu Yao felt relatively happy, although everyone in the court and everyone involved in this Cuju competition knew that Lu Yao was actually busy doing everything in this competition. But for the common people,
This Cuju competition is an event held by the emperor. Therefore, because of this, Lu Yao has decided that before the competition starts tomorrow, Zhao Zhen, as the emperor, must say a few words, which will save himself a lot of trouble.
Less hassle.
However, Lu Yao felt that Zhao Zhen must know this, so he did not take the initiative to talk to Zhao Zhen about this matter.
After talking about the influence of these objective factors, Lu Yao turned his attention back to the game itself. There is no doubt that the order of the first round of the game was unanimously decided by Lu Yao, Zhao Zhen, and Zhe Kexing after discussion. The reason is simple.
, for the common people, among the eight teams, the one they want to know the most and is also the most famous is naturally the Royal Cuju Team, also known as the Huangtian Team. After all, it is a team under the emperor, and they are the first team.
The participating teams in this game couldn't be more suitable. This first shot is equivalent to being fired. Through the performance of the Huangtian team, it can leave a deep impression on the people. Moreover, in terms of football lottery, because of the first game
, in the eyes of outsiders, the outcome has basically been decided. It is absolutely certain that the Huangtian team will win, and this has also promoted the development of football lottery.
It can be said that it is a very correct decision to put the Huangtian team on the first match day. However, as the opponent of the Huangtian team, the grassroots team may be a victim, which can also be said to be a tragedy.
The same existence. No one thought that the grassroots team would defeat the Huangtian team. In this situation, Lu Yao couldn't help but think of the comic he most wanted to read when he was young. The protagonist team of "Slam Dunk", the unknown Xiangbei team, in the first
After entering the national competition once, they met Sanno Industries, the national champion team of previous years. No one believed that they would win, and the pressure was unprecedentedly huge.
Of course, since it is a comic, it still has the halo of the protagonist. It is known as a comic that leaves indelible memories of youth for those born in the 1980s and 1990s. The Xiangbei team finally successfully counterattacked and defeated Sanno Industry. Lu Yao now recalls
When I read the comic, I was somewhat excited. However, comics are comics after all, and reality is still reality, and reality is always cruel. Lu Yao knew that adjusting the schedule, and also using grassroots when opening the bank,
It is indeed unfair to Chen Chen and his team members. In addition, these days, the Huangtian team has the sole right to use the palace training ground. The existing gap between the two teams may be resolved by then.
Being pulled bigger and bigger.
In fact, as long as Chen Chen refused at that time, Lu Yao would not have adjusted the game schedule in the end. The two teams on the first day of the game were still the Fan Lou team and the Tigers. However, Chen Chen finally chose to agree. Lu Yao knew that Chen Chen would
It was a sacrifice he made for himself. And Lu Yao should be the only one now who thinks that the grassroots team can still defeat the Huangtian team.
From this morning when Lu Yao went to the Bird's Nest training ground and saw the reactions of Chen Chen and Wang Da, Lu Yao felt that Chen Chen had grown up a lot compared to before. If it were the previous Chen Chen, in the days when such a competition is coming,
, I have been extremely nervous for a long time. But when I saw Chen Chen today, I felt a sense of relief. Just like what he often said, do your best to obey fate. He will exert all his strength, and Chen Chen will not be able to get any results by then.
Can accept it calmly.
This was enough. Lu Yao was very satisfied with Chen Chen's current magnanimity and maturity. He also believed that his other butler had not chosen the wrong person.
At this point, both sides of the final battle are also considering ending. Before the Cuju competition starts tomorrow, Lu Yao has gone through all the factors in his mind. There should be no hidden dangers and uncertain factors. The rest is looking forward to it.
, it can be said that since Lu Yao traveled through time, whether it was making money, making food, or engaging in various industries, or even the food streets and hot pot restaurants that have just entered their infancy, they have not given Lu Yao such huge achievements.
feeling and anticipation.
This new Cuju competition can be regarded as the first major event that Lu Yao did after traveling to the Song Dynasty. How many pairs of eyes were staring at him. Some of them were full of expectations for him, and of course there were also some who were waiting to see his jokes.
Everything will be verified after the Cuju competition starts tomorrow. Because of this, Lu Yao has never been so looking forward to tomorrow. He wishes it would be dark now, so he goes to sleep directly, and when he wakes up, he goes straight to the Bird's Nest.
Went to the stadium.
However, this night, Lu Yao couldn't be said to have stayed awake all night, but he was still in a state of insomnia. He couldn't sleep because of excitement. Speaking of it, this was the first time he had felt this way since he traveled through time. Although he had been in a state of insomnia before.
There are also times when I can't sleep because of Cao Han and Han Yunyu's affairs, but the love between children is still incomparable with my own career.
Tomorrow's Cuju competition will definitely be a success. I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yao fell asleep with this thought...
