Chapter 194 Yin Jun’s goal odds

On the afternoon of August 15, the entire Manchester United team stayed at the Laurie Hotel as usual.

This is their first Premier League match in the new season. The coaching staff was very strict before the game and required all players to go back to their rooms to sleep after 10 o'clock in the evening, and they could not leave the hotel for activities. It would definitely not work if they wanted to go out to play from the hotel.

At Manchester United, Ferguson has always been strict in managing the team. Even in home games, the team must stay in the hotel the day before the game, and no one has special treatment. Because even Ferguson himself and the coaching staff have the same requirements.

Because I found that the newly joined Portuguese boy liked to follow Yin Jun's butt very much, and with the same age, Ferguson specially assigned Yin Jun and C Ronaldo to a room. On the one hand, both of them were the core figures of Ferguson's creation of a new generation of Manchester United. On the other hand, out of trust in Yin Jun, he hoped that Yin Jun's words and deeds could influence C Ronaldo and that this kid could get on track as soon as possible.

Now they have all taken a shower and are lying on the bed, turning off the light and chatting casually.

……………………

Suddenly, Ronaldo talked about his outlook for the new season. He asked Yin Jun: "Yin, how many goals do you want to score in the new season?"

Yin Jun shook his head and said, "I never thought that it's enough to play seriously. It doesn't matter how many goals I score."

Ronaldo said: "But, I heard from Jorge that your new contract has the terms of the Golden Boots. How can you not want to score many goals? Then how do you get the Golden Boots?"

Yin Jun gave Ronaldo a blank look and said angrily: "What does writing into the contract have to do with getting it? Can you get it by writing it? How can you think about good things all day long, Chris?"

Ronaldo smiled and said, "Yin, look at what you said. I don't want good things. Do you want bad things? For example, we will lose to Bolton at home tomorrow?"

Yin Jun glared at Ronaldo and shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I am your roommate, Chris, if it were Roy (Keen), you would have been beaten by him now."

The reason why Yin Jun is so sensitive to Ronaldo's words is because Manchester United's record is really worrying when they played against Allardyce. Last season, their score against Bolton in the Premier League was 1 draw and 1 loss.

Of course, both games have nothing to do with Yin Jun because he did not play. Manchester United lost 0:1 at home in the first leg, and Yin Jun was still sitting on the bench and did not get a chance to play. The second leg was against Bolton away in late February. At that time, Yin Jun missed that game because he returned to China to participate in the national team game.

At Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United has lost two consecutive games against Bolton.

……………………

Ronaldo thought about it and felt that Yin Jun was right. Captain Roy Keane was a very serious and responsible person and always had a desire for victory. If he knew that he said that the team lost on the eve of the game, he might really beat him up.

Ronaldo said again: "Yin, even if you don't pursue the Golden Boot, you always have a psychological expectation of your goals? You scored 18 goals last season. I think there are fans on the Internet guessing how many goals you can score this season. And Spinach Company is opening the market for your goals this season..."

Yin Jun was stunned and asked, "Oh? How did you open it?"

In the UK and even Europe, professional football has been deeply penetrated by the spinach industry. Every Premier League team has a dedicated spinach sponsor, and some teams' jersey sponsors are even spinach companies. The developed spinach industry covers all aspects of professional football, and anything on the Premier League can make spinach companies take a bet.

Some bets seem particularly weird, such as whether a certain player will transfer to a certain team, whether a certain player will start in the game, the possibility of a certain player being injured during the season, and whether a certain player will eat pie in the game...

In comparison, betting on the championship and runner-up, winning and losing games, goals and corner kicks are all considered traditional events in football.

In the life of British people outside football, almost everything can be taken out by spinach companies to bet. For example, who can be elected president of the United States, who can win the British Prime Minister, whether it is sunny, rain or snow this Christmas Eve, what color of hats will Her Majesty wear during horse racing... etc. The reason is that Britain is a country that is keen on gambling. The British really like to bet, and even professional players are no exception.

……………………

The betting phenomenon in the UK is very rampant, with 2 billion pounds betting on mobile phones, laptops and tablets every year, and players are involved in betting on football, which directly affects the fairness of the league and the reputation of the Premier League.

Yin Jun remembers that the FA will issue a gambling ban order in the future, first banning players from betting on their team's games. Later, it found that this left an opportunity for betting players to take advantage of. Later, it issued a complete ban on players from participating in gambling. Even coaches, club staff and other practitioners, as well as players' families, are not allowed to participate in gambling in any way or anywhere.

However, in 2003, the FA has not yet issued such regulations. So players are also very crazy about betting on football. Star players such as Irving and Beckham are all big bettors.

Ronaldo scratched his head and thought for a while, and said, "Let me think about it... predict that if you score less than five goals in the Premier League this season, you will lose 100. To be honest, I also think it is difficult for you to score such a few goals in a season... Six to nine goals are 50, ten to fifteen goals, odds are 10, and odds are 16 to nineteen goals are 10, and the odds are 10, and the odds are 16 to nineteen goals are 10, and the odds are 2... Obviously, they all think that you should be able to score a double goal again, and the maximum possible possibility is about 18 goals the same as last season."

The odds of Spinach Company are basically based on the performance of the players and then calculated by actuaries, and they must be adjusted at any time according to the players' recent status.

The odds of one or two losses mean that Spinach Company believes that Yin Jun’s chance of scoring sixteen to nineteen goals in the new season is very high. Taking such odds almost tells the lottery players: If you bet on this, you will most likely not lose money, but even if you win, you won’t make much money.

The reason why Spinach Company offered such odds is closely related to Yin Jun's performance last season. In addition to not having any chance to play in the early rounds of the season, Yin Jun quickly became the main player of Manchester United and rarely missed the game. He also played a relatively complete season at Manchester United, and his performance is of great significance.
