Spy-x-War Showdown

"Anton, will you accept bets? Although we don’t need your permission to start betting, I think it’s better to ask for your opinion."

"Betting?"

"Yes, we all want to know who will win between you and the Robot. The Robot has already agreed, so will you accept the bets?"

Anton nodded and said, "Alright, you guys can place your bets."

Jethro broke into a smile, then said cheerfully, "Great, then the betting can start. By the way, I’m really rooting for you."

Anton smiled and said, "You’ve got good taste."

Jethro, full of energy, walked up to everyone and then loudly said, "Hey, everyone, Anton has agreed, so we can start placing bets now, but we need a bookie to start things off. The question is, who will be the bookie?"

Chris looked puzzled and said, "Since it was your idea to hold the betting, then of course you should be the bookie. Besides you, who else could take the bets? Even if I wanted to be the bookie, I don’t have that kind of money."

Jethro looked troubled and said, "I should indeed be the bookie, because I don’t want to miss this great betting opportunity. But you see, this competition is an internal affair among you all. If I am the bookie and accept bets, then if your bets are not balanced, I will lose money. Most importantly, if the Robot or Anton sees the betting results and either of them throws the match, wouldn’t I lose big time?"

Jethro’s words were met with a chorus of boos.

"Pssh, throwing the match, you think I’d stoop so low."
