Almost the moment Suming pulled out his crumpled betting ticket, the initially bustling racecourse suddenly quieted down for a second. Many spectators, who had been ready to leave, suddenly halted in their tracks, lifted their heads, and gaped in disbelief at the big screen at the racecourse;
Even more people were being dragged by friends and family to have a look at this huge screen.
The big screen at the racecourse displayed the highest prize amounts for this round of betting.
First place, Mr. Su; betting method, superfecta; bet amount, three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars; winning amount...
A string of digits so long it was almost twice the length of the second place, so nobody was really interested in the subsequent rankings.
Immediately after, the venue erupted with a continuous murmur of astonishment.
