Chapter 247： The Big 3 of British Gambling

"Boss, after looking for it, they are all here.<щww.suimeng.lā"

For a long time, Li Qian said softly in a soft and soft voice, and at the same time put the selected newspaper in front of Xia Yu.

"Thank you!"

Xia Yu raised his head and glanced at Li Qian, said with a smile, then took the newspaper and put it in the pile he picked out.

"Okay, it's getting late. After a day's flight, I think you are also very sleepy. Go back and take a bath and rest early."

Xia Yu cared about Li Qian.

"Well, the boss, I'll go first, and you should rest early, so don't be exhausted!"

Li Qian stood up obediently and reminded Xia Yu gently before leaving.

"Well, I will!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then continued to look down at the newspaper.

"Click!"

With the sound of the door lock metal colliding, Li Qian left Xia Yu's room, Xia Yu was left alone in the room.

As Xia Yu kept looking at the newspaper, more and more information was collected and stored in his mind, and he gained a certain understanding of many things.

At this time, the World Cup in Argentina is in full swing.

But in this World Cup, the England men's national football team did not enter the top 16 of the Argentina World Cup finals.

But it does not mean that the British have no chance, because the Scottish national men's football team has entered the finals.

At this time, many people will look dumbfounded. When will Scotland be a country, there will be a national men's football team to participate in the World Cup!

In fact, there are historical reasons for this!

In the United Kingdom, many people think that it is called the United States of America or something with English characters like the United States.

But in fact, "Britain" is just a short name, and its full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

The United Kingdom is a Western European island country composed of England, Wales and Scotland on the Isle of Great Britain, Northern Ireland in the northeast of the island of Ireland, and a series of affiliated islands.

The England national team is a national football team managed by the English Football Federation. For historical reasons, the four major regions of the UK: Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland exist as independent national football teams.

Before Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom, the Free State of Ireland (the predecessor of the Republic of Ireland) established another new football association, and the original Irish Football Federation continued to manage the Northern Ireland team. Since then, there have been five national teams in the British Isles.

But the most famous Olympics does not allow a country to have multiple national teams to play, so many people don't know the special nature of Britain.

However, although the Olympics are not allowed, the World Cup is allowed, so the England national team did not enter the finals, and the Scottish national team can also rush in.

So after the Scottish national men’s football team rushed in, it can still be said to represent the United Kingdom in name and entered the finals. Of course, the participation of the British people is high. Major newspapers and media report the World Cup every day. latest news.

Since paying attention to the World Cup, British people who are good to gamble will naturally buy a few bets. The major gambling companies have mobilized all their power to attract as many people as possible to their betting points.

In these newspapers, there are a lot of soft advertisements of gambling companies, such as how much heavier such and such or unknown lucky ones are. Use this example to guide readers to think that their gambling companies have a higher winning rate, which tempts more Of customers go.

After reading these newspapers, Xia Yu sorted out the information, combined with the memories in his mind, and finally gained a certain understanding of the distribution of the British gambling industry.

Watching football, there is no shortage of beer and gambling. What's more, the British are gambling. Just like later generations, the Premier League is almost "gambling for all." There are 20 Premier League teams, and more than half of the teams’ sponsors are spinach. the company.

In fact, the modern sports betting was invented by the British.

From the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the upsurge of raising horses and racing horses spread to the people from among British princes and nobles. Although ordinary citizens and villagers cannot afford the cost of raising horses, they still vie to watch the wealth show-off contest of the local tyrants. Everyone rushed to evaluate the horses. There was no consensus. Those who had something good simply made a bet to prove their vision. Bets are generally handed over to certain so-called "respected" people. The middleman guarantees that the bet will be distributed to the winners according to the result, but a certain commission must be drawn.

Since then, the first batch of British "bookmakers" were born.

With the development of horse racing, gambling has become increasingly prosperous among the British folks and spread to other activities.

As the British invented modern football, football has become an increasingly important market in the gaming industry. At that time, the British government had a subtle attitude towards gambling-it cancelled the national lottery that had been issued since the 16th century, but it did not prohibit private gambling. The "Gambling License Law" of 1860, the "Gambling Law" of 1892 and other related laws incorporated gambling into the system of government management, and gambling began to show a large-scale and regular posture.

So, since then, the British have held up the amulet of liberalism and began to "gamble on an order"!

In the Hong Kong Jockey Club, betting on horses only appeared under the influence of the United Kingdom.

It is precisely because the British people all gamble and the law allows gambling, so the gambling industry in the UK is booming, spreading more and more, and more influential.

Up to now, there are a lot of large-scale gambling companies in the UK. Not mentioning horse racing spinach. In football gambling, the Big Three of British gambling are world-famous. They dominate not only in the UK, but also in Europe, and even in the world. One of the giants.

The boss of the Big Three, William Hill, the true largest and most stable in the UK, was established in 194 and belongs to the William Hill Hotel Management Group. It has the reputation of "the spokesperson of the gaming company" and is the world's most One of the betting companies affected.

William Hill operates more than 200 betting stations and betting shops across the UK, with over 100,000 customers worldwide, and is the world's largest telephone betting service company.

The second child, Ladbrokes, is one of the world's largest betting companies. UU Read www.uukānshu.com provides betting services in the UK, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, the United States and Argentina. Ladbrokes Group has offices in almost 50 countries and more than 66,000 employees.

In addition, Ladbrokes is also a subsidiary of the famous international hotel group Hilton Group, so Ladbrokes has set up betting terminals in these hotels. For example, at the hotel where Xia Yu lives, he saw Ladbrokes' betting terminal.

The third gaoral, whose main business is concentrated in the UK and Italy, has more than 1,800 stores in the UK and 870 stores in Italy.

The British gambling company operates a gambling store like a convenience store. From this we can see the real situation of the British gambling industry.

"They are all giants, and the annual turnover is very scary. Then the probability of my betting is not detected, and the amount of gambling can be larger, which can speed up efficiency."

"It's decided, starting tomorrow, we will start betting from the betting shops of these betting companies, and we will start a new round of betting tomorrow!"

After the decision, Xia Yu finally put down the newspaper and checked the time, and found that it was late, he yawned and walked into the bathroom...
