I am betting on IPL and I have noticed few other players too. I figured lately that not many people are interested in IPL however few of us are indeed hanging out on the pool topic.

It's just a start, I hope next year we will find more people interested in IPL.

Anyone betting on the IPL this year? I can't seem to find a discussion thread for the tournament specifically (besides @Royse777's pool)

We've just lowered our minimum stakes to just 0.00000010 BTC (10 Sats) on the majority of our Bitcoin Sportsbook - that's around 9000 bets for the price of your morning coffee!  

Our expert Matt Harris has written up a comprehensive guide to cricket betting, with a look at the IPL's top teams, batsmen, and who's going to be leading the run, boundary, and man of the match markets.

Do you think the Super Kings can hang on to the title? I was personally leaning towards the Sunrisers as this year's overall winners, but after seeing the initial games that might have been a little bit premature!

It is true that a particular team performance throughout a tournament is the primary indicator to suggest whether they will win the tournament or not, but this in no way means that people will forget other teams who performed well(2nd, 3rd etc).

I completely disagree with your statement that 'No one remembers who came 2nd or 3rd' and me remembering that NZ were the runner ups during last world cup is enough to justify that.

Remember I told you guys that Pakistan vs Australia ODI series will be a good opportunity to make some money by gambling?

Yesterday it happened again.

When Pakistan was batting I was able to get few good odds for Australia. It was known to me that even if Pakistan takes 300+ runs, Australia will still win. So I was waiting for the odds for Australia to be in better shape. The highest odd for Australia was 2.90+ but unfortunately I missed the rate however I was able to pick the odds of 2.04 to 2.18 and placed bet for Australia.

It was a mix day for me yesterday. I lost money in IPL but recovered it from Pakistan vs Australia match :-)

I am looking forward to the next match for sure ;-p

Yup but they had a choice to cover the match but they didn't bother to cover the match because it was a low profile match, no one wanted to cover this one. I remember Geoffery boycott saying this during the commentary, don't remember the series, maybe during the Ashes series.

The lack of genuine fast bowlers was the main problem for having earned the name of shitty touring team, back in the day the pitches were tailor made for fast bowling and India rely on spin bowling during those times and so does all the Asian countries, when Sourav Ganguly took over as captain he rebuilt the team and took the team to a new level and the reason we are seeing a strong team right now is simply because he had made the foundation.
 

With Warner and Smith coming back they will be a formidable team and it is likely that Warner will open the innings with Finch, to have left hand right hand combination and Usman coming down at no 3 and Smith following him and it will be a really strong team when it comes to batting power.

If Bangladesh or Srilanka started playing like this then we all say same thing about them too.  Everyone want to bet on winning horse hehe

Warner getting along with team management well? he can be the back-up opener for Oz. 100 times better than our KL Rahul lol. if possible you guys are up for trade

Not too long ago no one here gave Australia any chance at this years World Cup but now they must be in the top 3-5 teams to win it. If they get Smith back into the team then that just adds even more fire power as now I'm not sure if Warner can get back in as Finch is on fire right now and has come good at the right time as he was certain to be dropped for Warner if he didn't perform in this Pakistan series. The thing is that Finch plays well against Pakistan like he did in the ODI series last year so I just don't know however he is in form while Warner hasn't played international cricket for 1 year so the Australian selectors will have a tough decision on whether Warner comes back in or not. But smith will come back in for sure as Australia need to stabilise the top to middle order and I think Smith can help do that.

When i am writing post on that time,  in indian premier League Mumbai vs Delhi played in wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.Mumbai need 214 run to win.my prediction Mumbai win the match today.   

That's why English and old cricket legend from SENA countries ( Including Windies) consider 1983 and 1992 are the biggest upset in World cricket hehe.

India was a shitty touring team back then despite having good players.

Kinda sad that no one has a recording of that majestic inning played by Kapil Dev (175) against Zimbave. British Media didn't cover that match.

You are right however my judgement was after seeing the betting. The time I made the last post they could easily pass 300 runs but they could not do that. They made it hard.

I was not actually watching the match ball by ball but just changing the channel because I was watching KKR vs SRH match. Recent times I did noticed that Malik plays like he is not caring much.

They could not make it. 285 is the target and I hope Australia chase it easily. I have risked hell lot of money for Australia LOL

Earlier I lost a 4 fold because of SRH :-(

I am not judging anything here, i just said the facts, a causal fan might not know nor care about looking at who all played in the world cup finals, but they might know who all won the world cup till now, that is not the case with cricket alone, just take any major sporting events, no one remembers who came second and third, take athletics, football, tennis, just try to remember all the final matches you have seen or in the past, i bet you wont remember everything, but you might know who became the champion.

You really do not need the best team always to win matches, when it comes to a world tournament like world cup, if you can perform to the best for 8 matches you are the champion and Australia have done that many times consistently and so is the reason they were champions more than any other country.

I will site examples for you, when India won in 1983, they did not have the best team but they performed really well when it mattered and hats off to Kapil for his 175 when they were down for 17 for 5 something like that, it was a collective effort and that is how they won the world cup, in 1992 Pakistan was not the best team and they lost to India but under Imran Khan they played as an unit after those defeats and won the world cup, in 1996 world cup Srilanka came up with the tactics to open with Jayasurya and Romesh Kaluwitharana both explosive players and Aravinda de Silva to stablize the innings if they loose early wickets and they carried out that game play and won the tournament defeating Australia in the final.

Actually, Pakistani batsmen played bad on patches in the last match that's why they couldn't reach 300 runs in the end and in the start they were all set up for 320+ runs.

I dont think that the score will cross 300+ if this partnership is broken then they will score below 280, even then they should bowl well and take quick wickets in starting so that they can put pressure on Australia batsman.

Pakistan batsmen are doing very well in batting. In last match they were good, today they are looking better. I think they will be able to score 300+ runs but it's the Australians betting who are good too.

I am looking forward to a good chase hoping that Pakistan will score 300+ runs.

Guys, I hope I am not annoying you all.

By the way, we have Australia vs Pakistan ODI. Australia should have another easy win. What do you think? I am predicting this series will have a result of either 5 - 0 or 4 -1 for Australia. They are way better team than current Pakistan team.

I agree to this . I feel that there is no good opening pair right now in RCB , natural position for Kohli is 1 down and RCB should have kept either Gayle or Rahul for opening without leaving them . Look at Uthappa , Rahul , Manish Pandey they are doing very well in other teams and the interesting fact is all these guys are Karnataka born .

Moreover, it's a common fact for RCB to score lower. In last IPL, if I'm correct, they performed badly in some matches and got huge success in other matches, I mean no average was there.

Definitely Kohli don't read the pitch,you can watch the speech of Kohli at the time of toss,he wanted to bowl fist just because of dew factor but he ever thought this is an extremely turning pitch.
