Inkarmat looked back at Shiraishi, "I don't really understand horse racing... How exactly do you bet?" She asked.
Shiraishi took his eyes away from the excited crowd of men, " There are two types of betting tickets you can buy," he held up two fingers, "Gara and Ana. With a Gara betting, you pay what you want for a ticket, and that ticket has a number written on it. Before a race, they do a lottery to see what number corresponds to what horse. Then, if the horse that matches the ticket number wins first place. The payout is either several times what you paid or some fixed amount." He explained with a smile. ((Now, Y'all know how to bet on horses.))
Shiraishi's brown eyes scanned the ticket tent, " It seems they don't do Gara betting here though. But I don't like it anyway, you can't choose which horse you want." He looked back at Inkarmat, "The other type of betting is ana. You get to choose what horse you think will win, but each ticket cost 5 yen. You can buy as many tickets as you want for each race. The payout is based on the odds."
Inkarmat rose a brow in confusion, a smile never leaving her face, "Odds?"
Shiraishi nodded, "It basically goes like this: Everyone predicts what horse is going to win and buys betting tickets for it. Then, all the money will be pooled aside for after the race. Once the race is over, the pool of money is divided between the people who bet on the winning horse. And If only a few people bet on a horse, they get a huge payout."

Now, Shiraishi had spent a ton of money and he looked abso-fucking-lutely stupid. Inkarmat was just happy she was able to gain something from this experience.
Asirpa pointed over into the distance, "Hey I see them. The Excrement King and the Red Fox lady are over there."
You cupped a hand around your mouth and waved a bit, "HEY! YOSHITAKE!"
Shiraishi turned around to see who it was, "huh? Oh, it's just the sow." he muttered, sauntering over to the group with a smug look on his face. "I was wondering where that stench of poverty was coming from."
You rose an eyebrow at him, "Yoshi... What the hell is on your head?" It was like a flower crown, only without flowers, just sticks, smelly ass sticks.

"Shiraishi!" Sugimoto yelled, ready to beat the shit out of him, "What do you think you're doing? You've got a lot of guts going off and gambling when you owe (Y/N) and Asirpa money."
"Oh yeah~. I did owe her some money, didn't I?" he asked, closing his eyes and licking his thumb, "Go on. You can pick it up." Shiraishi threw a couple of bills into the air, making Sugimoto drop with the quickness and catch them.
"Huh? I can't find the other one." Sugimoto groaned, patting the ground frantically. Shiraishi lit up a piece of paper that read, '1 Yen', "Here. Is that better?" he asked mockingly. Sugimoto blinked a bit at the new found light, "oh. there it is." he muttered, standing up quickly.
