Chapter 226
After the 28th round of the Premier League, Leicester City at home, with Andy King's 86th minute goal, equalized the score and continued to lead the standings with 57 points.

Leicester City's draw is good news for the chasers behind them.

But Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City all lost this round.

Not only missed the chance to reach the top, but Leicester City continued to widen the gap.

But after the game, the British media were not satisfied with Leicester City's performance in this round.

There are still some uncontrollable factors in Ranieri's team, which lead to the ups and downs of the players.

This is a very fatal flaw for a team that wants to compete for the championship.

Leicester City's ability to come to the present is entirely dependent on the set of fixed formations and techniques and tactics that have been polished.

They give up control of the midfield, making the space between the midfield and the defense narrow, and it is difficult for the opponent to pass the ball easily in such a space.

The untiring and fast running of the attack line, coupled with fierce steals, made Leicester City's counterattack extremely threatening.

But once a player in a certain position is injured or suspended, the operation of the entire team system will be affected to some extent.

In the next three games, their opponents are Watford, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

These three teams are all teams that are good at fighting and have a tenacious style.

This season, they have many feats of overthrowing the giants. They are ranked in the middle and lower reaches. In order to avoid relegation, they are bound to block Leicester City.

At the same time, in a place invisible to the stadium, a huge black hand is slowly reaching out to the stadium.

William Hill, a British gaming company, has a history of more than 80 years. It operates more than 1500 betting shops in the UK and has 30 customers worldwide.

Their odds have a high degree of grasp of the Premier League, League One and England's leagues and cups at all levels, known as the "Premier League Compass".

However, this time, there was a problem with their compass.

At the beginning of the season, William Hill offered a "courtesy" 1:5000 to Leicester City's winning odds.

At that time, many fans joked that if you spend 10 pounds to buy Leicester City and win the championship, you will lose the 10 pounds.

Before the start of the season preparations, there were only 25 diehard Leicester City fans who bet that the home team would win the Premier League title this season.

But when the new season was about to start, at a concert, Pixie Lott publicly stated that she would bet on Leicester City to win the championship with [-] pounds.

When he heard the news, the person in charge of William Hill secretly rejoiced, and only gave a few words of symbolic "persuasion", telling Pixie not to weigh too much money, and to buy a few hundred pounds casually, as a pastime.

But as a public figure, Pixie can't keep her word in public, otherwise she will only be ridiculed by the media, so she reluctantly bet [-] pounds and posted photos on her personal social platform.

The whole world knows that Pixie really spent [-] pounds to bet on Leicester City to win the championship.

At the beginning of the season, many fans used this incident to ridicule Rossi.

However, 8 months later, Leicester City led No.57 Tottenham by 2 points with 3 points, which surprised everyone.

Although the mainstream media and most fans in England will think that Leicester City will miss the championship in the last 10 rounds of the championship.

But the gaming company considers it more carefully.

Leicester City's championship is just a hot topic after dinner for the media and fans.

But for the bookmaker who offered 1:5000, it is definitely a fatal blow.

They will pay Pixie Lott 2.5 million pounds.

What is this concept?
William Hill's total revenue in 2015 was 15.9 billion euros, or about 13.5 billion pounds.

Leicester City won the championship, and the company will pay 18.5% of the annual income. This is definitely a nightmare for bookmakers.

William Hill Group Building, Conference Room.

On the long desk, the leaders from various departments and the principals of the company are having heated discussions.

The company's chief executive, Bob Reeves, stands in front of huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bustling street.

"What's the result of all the discussions?"

Bob, who returned to his seat, asked in a cold tone.

Although the company's total revenue has been rising year by year, due to the substantial increase in other operating costs at the same time, the net profit in 2015 was 1.899 million pounds.

This amount of money is not enough to pay for Pixie alone.

These executives and persons in charge never dreamed that the gaming company would face a huge crisis of compensation.

"BOOS, according to the precise calculations of analysts, the probability of Leicester City winning the championship is only 15%. He does not have the background and strength of the giants." Executive John Finnigan said.

After Bob Reeves heard this, his face was displeased, and he reprimanded mercilessly: "15%? You know, even if it is only 1.5%, this probability is enough for me to have nightmares for a whole year. Is it the first day you come to work here, and you actually say such a thing."

Another executive, Gary Turner, smoothed things over and said: "Boss, Leicester City's chances of winning the championship are low, so we will have more chances to recover. According to analysis, they have not completely got rid of the chasers behind them. We can start from here."

"Go ahead!" Obviously, Gary Turner's words hit the nail on the head.

"We can give rewards to some teams to motivate their fighting spirit. As long as one or two of them can beat Leicester City, our crisis will naturally be lifted."

At this moment, Ron Clara beside him asked a question.

"In this case, we have to increase the input cost. How much do you think we need to achieve our goal?"

Gary Tuna said: "We are doing our best now to recover the losses, don't even think about making money on Leicester City. [-] pounds, all thrown out."

This opinion is supported by most people.

In their hearts, they actually had the same idea.

In recent years, with the heavy blows from the UK and other countries, not only did the Far East gambling groups withdraw from Europe, but also the three major gaming companies in Europe did not dare to act too recklessly.

With the development of modern football in this era, no gaming company can control a league or a major competition like the World Cup.

The "Calciopoli incident" that caused a sensation in the world of football back then is still in yesterday.

It can only be said that it is not ruled out that the gaming company may manipulate in individual games.

Therefore, using money to motivate fighting spirit is a legal and reasonable means.

Gary Turner hit the nail on the head, at this point, don't even think about swallowing the [-] pounds in chips.

Then it is a safe way to avoid potential risks.

Bob Reeves agreed with the proposal, but he was still worried, after all, until the last second of the game, no one is 100% sure.

At this time, someone suggested that more risks could be avoided through the referee.

Although this method is feasible, Bob believes that it must not be used until the last moment.

As mentioned before, referees can only change individual games, and it is extremely easy to leak information.

Gary Turner also suggested that if it is really irreversible, they can use the buyback method to buy out the betting results in the hands of Pixie and other 26 players in advance.

Although it will increase expenditure, it is nothing compared to 2.5 million pounds, and it is not worth mentioning.

After the meeting, Bob Reeves stood in front of the window with a dignified look, and he still kept cursing, the troublesome reporter back then.

If it weren't for his instigation and guidance, would Pixie bet fifty thousand pounds?

"That bastard, why are you messing with that female singer?"
