Forty--Room Service

[To start from the beginning, click on Chapter One in the archives to the right.]

There came a knock at the hotel door, just as Pertman and Quincy came to realize, by listening to Piotr's horribad rap album on his iphone, that the Quincy's young Russian agent, manager, and accountant was in the midst of an evil plot to steal Quincy's money, to re-kidnap his kidnapped girlfriend, and to leave Quincy brokenhearted and busto.

In a daze, Pertman walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Room service."

She gave Quincy a glance.  He shrugged, shook his head.

"We didn't order anything," she replied.

"Room service!" the voice responded, louder than before.

"No thanks."

"Free food.  Yum yum."  A whisper now.

The persistence of the voice was beginning to tilt the shit out of Quincy.  He got up from the bed and started moving toward the door.

Pertman was also aggravated.  She ordered, "Leave it by the door!"

She tried to peek through the peephole but saw only darkness.  Were the lights off in the hallway?  Or was someone's thumb blocking her view?

After a long moment of silence from the other side of the door, the voice queried softly, "Leave it by the door?  No yum yums?  No tip?"

Pertman and Quincy exchanged a quizzical look.  What kind of delivery man had ever requested a gratuity before?  Was this guy new?  A new hire from a country where tip-demanding was a cultural norm?  And which country would that be?

Matching the stranger's voice, Pertman whispered, "No tip."

The voice whispered slightly louder, "No tip?"

"No tip."

"Baksheesh?"

She frowned.  "What's baksheesh?"

"Baksheesh?"

"No baksheesh."

"No tip?"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Room service.  Yum yums."

"Back to square one," Natalia muttered.  "Fuck."

Quincy gave it a try.  "Do you speak English?" he asked the door.

"Mocha soy caramel no whip with fries," the voice answered.

"Huh?"

"Whopper cheese no onion no mustard no mayo no lettuce no tomato.  No bun."

"Dude, just leave the food by the door."

"No tip, no food, no bun."

Pertman put a finger over her lips, and Quincy obliged by falling silent.  They put their ears to the door.  After another silence, they heard footsteps approaching.  The footsteps stopped, and an urgent whispered conversation ensued.  It appeared to be in a foreign language.  

Then there was a firm, professional tap on the door.  Pertman glance at Quincy; he nodded.

"Yes?" Pertman asked.

"Pardon the intrusion," a polished voice with a British accent responded, "but the Rio management wanted to offer a complimentary meal  for Mr. Capers and his guests.  We shall be content to leave the trays at the door, but a bottle of wine is included with the meal, and we take great pride in ensuring that our spirits meet the approval of our guests before departing.  If you would be so kind as to open the door, I can prepare a glass for Mr. Capers to taste."

Nothing spells authority and sophistication to an American teenager like a British accent.  Quincy turned the knob and opened the door . . . and immediately felt the cool metal of a gun barrel against his forehead, pushing him backward into his room.

"Yum," said a familiar voice.

  5. 그러나 많은 사람들이 조언하는 또 하나의 전략은 켈리 기준으로 알려져 있습니다. 토토 사이트 검증하는 것은 그럼에도 불구하고, 켈리는 취득의 기회를 이해하는 하나의 요구합니다. 그런 다음 입찰시 가격을 기회로 변환하여 축구 추측 크기를 해결합니다. 그런 다음 그의 베팅이 성공할 가능성을 근사해야합니다. 하나의 기회와의 비용 확률의 차이는 건설적인 것이어야합니다. 그것이 파괴적이라면, 단지 하나의 축구 추측을 버리고 다음 비디오 게임으로 넘어 가야합니다. 그런 다음 베팅 크기는 이러한 종류의 확률 변화를 적용하여 계산됩니다. 더 큰 구별은 더 큰 투자 결정을 제안하고 그 반대도 마찬가지입니다.

    이제 사람들이 생각할 수 있듯이, 일반인은 그의 축구 예측이 수익성을 가질 가능성을 근사 할 수 없었습니다. 따라서 이러한 종류의 방법은 그에게 최소한의 도움이됩니다. 실제로, 수학자 및 업계 전문가들은 이런 종류의 공식에 대해 열망하고 그것을 부정확하게 이해하지 않습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 실제로 적용하기에는 실망 스럽습니다.

    이 언급에 따르면 많은 남성과 여성이 일반적인 솔루션을 최대한 활용할 수 있기를 선호합니다. 스포츠 활동 교과서가 게임의 깊이를 면밀히 조사해 왔으며 종종 잘못된 결과를 얻지는 않습니다. 그렇다면 왜 이런 종류의 것을 적어도 하나의 이익을 위해 사용하지 않습니까? 이것은 적의 최고의 힘을 약점으로 만듭니다. 확실히, 화는 구체화되지만, 단지 하나가 스포츠 전자 책의 확률 권장 사항에 장기적으로 보인다면, 심지어 최종 결과를 심지어 1 달러로 인용 할 때마다, 이런 종류의 결과는 실제로 일부의 50 %에 근접 할 것이라는 것을 알게 될 것입니다 시각.

  6. 이제 다음 질문은 : 축구 직원과 얼마나 많은 돈을 계산할 수 있는가? 지금까지 가장 일반적인 의미는 모든 범위에서 항상 동일한 수량을 사용하는 것입니다. 비록 이것이 오래 지속될 수는 있지만, 단기 실행 중에는 고가의 축구 전략에서 일련의 패자가 발생할 수 있습니다. 4 명 또는 5 명의 패자가 연속적으로 1의 대출자를 고갈시킬 수 있습니다. 그래서,
