Coming back to today's match. Looks like DC will have an easy win. KKR's chances are low if they can not take wickets.

The match was so thrilling yesterday. The last two overs were breath taking. Seriously everyone was filled with anxiety. The last two balls stunned everyone. Wonderful moment to see when the guy hit six at the last ball and the team cherished the winning moment. So nice to see. I missed this thread earlier. Good to start though in the middle.

Karthik gone!
Come on. I just placed a bet thinking that both Karthik and Russell was going to play fireworks but losing Karthik definitely will slow down the show.

Rana just fell to a terrific yorker and now my boy Russell is in. Hoping for a big score from him, such a fun batsman to watch.

DC need to roll out Rabada to try and break this partnership.

Now that Gill has made 50 he can slog out and let Karthik come on to score 20 (so my bet comes in!)  

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Edit: Well the Gill part came true at least - Come on Karthik!  

Edit 2: Crap. Ignore that first edit. Nothing to see here.... 

My pick is KKR today. Not sure if I will risk money today but I think KKR should have a comfortable win. Right now they managed to score 72 runs after losing two wickets. If the do well then we may see 180+ runs on the board. Chasing 180+ will not be easy.

By the way, does anyone has any complain about the bouncer rules now. Before if any ball was going to over the head then it was considered as no ball but now they call it wide. And this wide calling actually harm the batsmen. If the ball touch the bat and if the keeper catch the ball then they give out. It looks unfair in my eyes.

You are welcome Ronnie.
I hope some day I will check out your site and become a loyal customer, I can not promise you anything though :-)

KKR 62/1 after 8 overs (despite Ishant Sharma picking a wicket off the very first ball). Surprisignly, the Capitals left out Sandeep Lamichhane and included Keemo Paul in the playing XI. Perhaps they wanted to strengthen their pace bowling department. But things are not going quite well, with Paul conceding 17 runs off his fist over.

KKR v DC today , my chips are on KKR. They might have failed in the previous match against CSK but I am sure they will come back stronger today. Doesn't matter if they win or lose the toss according to me.

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! I'm speaking to the head of our sportsbook teams at the moment regarding lines people would like to see added so I'll make sure to include your requests in the list  

On a side note I just put another cheeky bet on Rabada, was just talking about the game over lunch and I just have a feeling he is going to come out swinging today!

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Till now, there's no more no ball in last over. I did only check matches which was played till 20th over. Checkimg matches which ended before 20th over doesn't require to check even. It doesn't make any sense.
However, I always had a doubt that some matches in IPL are fixed, I have mentioned it somedays ago too.

Hello Ronnie!
Good to see your efforts in this topic and also in the IPL pool. I did visit Cloudbet other day but unfortunately I did not find it much attractive to bet there. The only thing which pulled me back is not having many markets to bet.

I would suggest you (or the team) to add more markets. for reference, visit bet365 and see the markets they offer. Sportsbet also offer similar markets but not as many as bet365 does.

I am a regular gambler and to me having large number of market matters. I am not sure about others but I do feel the others feel the same. When I see many markets it makes me tempted to hang with them.

Funny thing is that - the markets I play are available with Cloudbet but it's the pre setup mind of a customer to have all kind options available in front of them.

So far I played (as I can recall),
Win Lose
Most six
Most four
Six under/over
Four under/over
0 to 6 runs under/over
0 to 10 under/over
0 to 12 under/over
under/over runs in x over
under/over runs in x^th ball
Innings total under/over
Best bowler
Best batsman
Toss
Player x to score under/over

I think I have gambled in many more markets too. I can not always remember them.

So, here is my friendly suggestion as I care about Cloudbet because of your presence, instead of offering low bet limit offer more markets :-)

Hope it helps.

Cheers :-)

@pffrt I owe you. Out of smerits right now.
I haven't cross checked your stats but will do may be in next 2-3 weeks 😁😁 I am sure if we dig deep then we can find couple of more incidents.

@juggy you might be right here because everything is possible when money is involved but I can somehow arguably vouch for some players that they may not have been involved in this sport fixing or possibly any fixing at all. Because i know thing or two about betting world locally and experienced it very closely.

Well yesterday's controversy has certainly made me look at the total extras markets for todays game!  

- Over 15.5 (2.14)
- Under 15.5 (1.77)

I'm going with a comfortable win for KKR today, but i'm really looking forward to watching the battle of wits between Russell and Rabada. If DC can bring Russell down early they could be in with a slight chance, as the other KKR batsmen (like Rana) haven't been performing as well as I expected.

My picks:

- Karthik: Total Over 19.5 (1.92)
- KKR Top Batsman: Andre Russell (5.70)
- DC Top Bowler: Kagiso Rabada (3.30)
- KKR Total Runs after 10 overs: Over 76.5 (1.59)

What are you going with for today's match?

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Certainly I do not disagree with you. In pressure the best one can make mistake. And talking about this IPL (or may be other seasons too), we are seeing in fact most of the matches are turning around. You think team A is going to have an easy win but after match you discover team B snitched the win from team A.

These matches are entertaining to see. Thanks to the franchises and the IPL management team.

Pressure. It happens sometimes. Bowlers usually end up giving up more runs during the final overs of the IPL primarily due to the pressure factor which is why there are very few amazing death bowlers who excel in such conditions.

Bumrah is one such bowler who loves these conditions and almost always bowls economically during such periods.

Thanks for your time. Only these three matches? That does not add up. Is it only me or someone else also is feeling that we have seen a lot of no balls so far in this IPL and those no balls were costing the teams to lose the winning matches?

I remember other day I was watching a match (not sure which one), I was telling my brother in law that just pray they don't do a no ball. It was the last over and the first ball was a no ball which was punished with a six. And I was telling my brother in law that, "see this? this is what I was afraid off"

I think, it was the match between KXIP vs MI.

No kiss is needed.

Listing extra run in last over of 2nd innings (included only matches which were successfully chased or close to chase)

1. SRH vs KKR
Sakib Al Hasan gave wides in first ball. Required 13 runs in last over and Rusell did it.

2. KXIP vs MI
Rajoot to Pollard- No balll and a six from Pollard.

3. RR vs CSK
Stokes to Jadeja, no ball and a six.

There's not much no ball in the last overs.

No matches without the two you mentioned. I have checked each match one by one.

I doubt they will (bookies). They are here to make money. Bookies do not play gamble they run business so they need to ensure that their return of investment is secure.

It really amazed me to spot a lot of no balls which were not needed to bowl.

25th match Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings: No ball # 19.2 by Stoke. Chennai Super Kings won a tight match
24th match Kings XI Punjab vs Mumbai Indians: No ball # 19.1 by Rajpoot. Mumbai Indians won the tight match

Check this two recent matches. I am sure there are more matches out of this 25 total matches that has been played so far.

I do agree that it is kind of weird, but this is how IPL is usually. The match fixing controversies in the past caused a lot of confusion which is why people might suspect these actions, but pressure can make cricketers do crazy things.

Hey I don’t think there’s any coincidence in IPL not any more, it’s a money making league for all associated parties. While there’s no proof for this think logically how does a winnng team suddenly loose match post the break, or the best bowlers of the world suddenly start bowling wide and no balls? Also the amount of money that changes hand during each match is very big, and you think bookies would leave it on chance?

I am stuck at work for past couple of days and no access of personal computer for good 2-3 weeks,  Otherwise would love to send all stats but unfortunately I can't do much about that these days. Using phone these days lol and it's really pain to compile all stats etc via phone.

I am sure someone else can look into it closely and post every detail without any bias. We got a good couple of cricket enthusiastic who might able to do that.
