With the Community Shield coming to an end, Southampton defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Wembley Stadium with goals from Brahimovic and James Rodriguez, successfully winning the first championship trophy of the new season.

This immediately made Southampton famous and the call for winning the championship became even greater.

As the new season approaches, according to traditional practice, the three major European bookmakers have also offered the odds of winning Premier League teams. What surprised everyone was that Southampton was the one who called for the championship to win the championship!

The defending champion tied for the first place with Manchester City at 3.25, ranking first among the favorites to win the championship.

Manchester United is followed closely by Southampton and Manchester City, followed by Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

Although Tottenham Hotspur spent 200 million pounds this summer, in fact, the outside world has not had a high opinion of this team. Several warm-up matches in Asia performed quite averagely. Boas has never been able to combine the team into an organic whole and stimulate the strongest combat power of this team.

This is also the reason why the outside world is not optimistic about Tottenham Hotspur!

At least, in the opinion of commentators, Tottenham Hotspur's ideal position should be the top four in the league.

On the contrary, Southampton, after winning the Premier League championship with a promotion last season, with Manchester United's turmoil and Chelsea's adjustment this season, has tied for Manchester City as the favorite to win the Premier League in the new season with Manchester City.

There are even quite a lot of fans who are optimistic about Southampton's successful defending title.

As soon as the odds opened, the bookmakers were all busy.

They make a living by analyzing data, so after setting up odds, they have to pay close attention to the betting and trends of lottery players anytime and anywhere, and grasp all the movements in the market.

"We had exchanged with Lady Bo and Ribo before. Because we both lost a big order last season, our three companies have adopted relatively stable and even conservative strategies for the new season, and the odds are quite close."

In the meeting room at William Hill headquarters, CEO Ralph Toppin elaborates on the company's latest developments.

Group Chairman Gareth Davis sat at the top, flipping through the report documents submitted by the staff, seeing the last page from the first page, then gently closed it, looking at Ralph Topin.

"Ralph, we lost such a big bet in the first half of the year. What do you think about the second half of the year?"

Many core senior executives present also showed their attention.

The big order they mentioned is actually the betting orders that Yang Huan placed last year.

Southampton staged a miracle in winning the championship, winning the FA Cup and Europa League, Atletico Madrid also won the championship, and Monaco was promoted to the Ligue 1. These betting orders have caused a lot of losses for gambling companies such as William Hill.

Especially William Hill, they also took the risk transfer from the other two betting companies, and they lost a lot of money.

"Yes, Gareth, we have formulated a detailed plan to make up for the huge losses in the first half of the year. Please read it!"

As he said that, Ralph Topin asked everyone to open the document, with several pages focusing on the plans he would implement in the second half of the year, as well as the predictions and evaluations of this series of plans.

Gareth Davis and others couldn't help but nod.

But just as they were about how William Hill could generate more profits and revenue in the second half of the year and make up for the first half of the year, there was a burst of rapid knocks in the conference room.

"Who? Come in!" Gareth Davis was a little dissatisfied.

Haven't you seen so many management teams holding meetings?

When I knocked on the door at this time, I created such a big noise? What are the meanings?

The door of the conference room was pushed open and found that it was a manager of the betting department. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. It seemed that things were urgent.

"What's the matter?" Ralph Topin asked quickly.

"The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" The man shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the door.

"What the hell?" Gareth Davis asked dissatisfiedly.

What's this panic like?

Fortunately, everyone present is the company's own. If there are outsiders here, those who don't know will think William Hill is going to close down? As for such a fuss?

Could it be that the sky is about to collapse?

When the man saw Gareth Davis and Ralph Toppin, he looked unhesitant and quickly shut up. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down and immediately spoke: "Just just now, the betting station at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton called me, and he said..."

"What did you say?" Ralph Toppin's eyelids twitched, and he had an ominous premonition.

St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, isn't that Yang Huan's territory? Could it be...

"He said that when Yang Huan went to St. Mary's Stadium today, he would go to their betting station to place bets!"

"What?" Gareth Davis jumped up.

"He wants to bet again?"

Ralph Topin was also surprised, "We didn't underestimate Southampton this year, right? The odds are ranked first in the Premier League! He still wants to bet in anger?"

Let me ask, from ancient times to the present, and even in the world, which team has become the number one favorite team to win the championship in the second season after upgrading?

Even if there are, it is probably very rare and rare?

At least in the top European leagues, Southampton's treatment is unique!

We have all done this. You, Master Huan, still want to be angry with us? And that's the case?

The manager of the betting department smiled bitterly, "The site people said that Yang Huan said that he was happy this time, and he happened to have some change, so he wanted to invest a million pounds and play around with it as a good lottery!"

Everyone present was stunned!

It’s a big deal, are you too rich and generous?

In your eyes, one million pounds has become change? You still play around with it and want to buy a good lottery?

In order to compensate you for the big order last season, we almost sold ourselves to pick up soap. Are you still making the money now?

If we lose again, wouldn’t we have to pay our lives?

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion on whether to accept Yang Huan's bet.

"Actually, it doesn't seem so scary!"

"Yes, Southampton is now losing three in one place. He is investing one million pounds. At worst, we can only pay him more than three million. But I don't believe that Manchester City is so strong this season, Southampton can win the championship again!"

"You can't say that, I'm afraid Yang Huan will become addicted to betting. When will it happen again and again, then..."

"Well, you're saying something makes sense, but if you don't accept it and spread it, then the image of our company will be over!"

"Well, this is not true, and it is not true that it is not true that it is not true that it is not true. What should I do?"

After everyone talked about it, they all felt that this matter was very difficult.

"Ralph, what do you think?" Gareth Davis asked, looking at Ralph Topin.

The latter also looked sad, and obviously was in a dilemma.

"I heard that Southampton's data analysis center can deduce the results of the competition, even predict the score, with a very high accuracy!"

Ralph Toppin's mindless words surprised everyone present.

What does it mean?

We are talking about betting, how do we get to the Southampton Analysis Center?

Wait, the results of the deduction competition? The accuracy rate is quite high?

Gareth Davis was the first to react and looked at Ralph Topin, "What do you mean is that Yang Huan's betting is not random, but predicted through precision calculations and deductions?"

Ralph Topping nodded, "It's totally possible."

When everyone heard what he said, they suddenly realized it.

"No wonder, he has made many bets with us before, and he won more than he lost!"

"Yes, it's like last season, I lost one million in the League Cup, but the Premier League champions won more than 100 million, and the FA Cup and Europa League were also making a lot of money!"

"The media reported before that Yang Huan's wife also bets for Southampton every major competition, and every time she bets, Southampton will definitely win. The media regards her as the lucky star of Southampton. Now it seems that it is probably also a conscious hype!"

"Oh my God, if that's the case, then Southampton's data analysis capabilities are too terrifying, right?

"Who said no? The three largest European companies can't do this!"

"It's different. We are proficient in the calculation and analysis of the gambling field, but they are proficient in the professional field of football."

Everyone said it all, as if Yang Huan could win as long as he bets.

If Yang Huan was present at this time, he would probably have laughed three times.

This young master is really just a playful game, and he still needs to use a data analysis center?

Isn’t that setting up a cannon to hit flies?

If you really want to do this, I'm afraid the big guys in the Data Analysis Center will leave sooner or later, because this is simply an insult to their research results. Is it true?

But everyone in the conference room obviously believed their inferences.

"Ralph, what do you think?" Gareth Davis asked again.

Ralph Topin thought for a while, "I think the best result of this matter is that Yang Huan voluntarily gave up betting."

After hearing this, everyone nodded frequently, thinking that it made sense.

Since Yang Huan gave up on his own initiative, William Hill's face was preserved.

It’s not that we refuse or dare not accept your bet, but that you don’t make a bet by yourself and it’s not our business!

"But how could he give up on betting?" Gareth Davis asked again.

Ralph Toppin thought for a while, "I think we should take the initiative to go to Southampton."

Everyone was wondering why?
