In gambling parlance, there's what's called head-to-head betting, which is when gamblers challenge each other, betting on the outcome of a single red stick.
The Zhuang Family guarantees the bets made head-to-head, and the results are outside of the main pot, stemming purely from the private grudges between the two parties. One side wins, the other loses, or there might be several winners and several losers!
For example, a few people on Pang Feng's side could go head-to-head with a few on Jiang Tianhai's side, where the winning side can make a killing and the losers could lose everything.
Zheng Xiaoshan schooled Jiang Tianhai and Zhao Shaojin, which made Xu Zhengyang and Tong Shaojie burn with anger.
Xu Zhengyang said, "So it's head-to-head betting, what's there not to dare? We bet on Ma Ken and Owen on our side, Ma Ken at even odds, Owen at three to one, ten million each—do you dare?"
Zheng Xiaoshan sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? Sir, you see..."
