How it ruined my interest in Cricket ...
Till a few weeks ago, I was totally into IPL cricket. For the past five seasons, I did not like this division of Mumbai,Delhi,Hyderabad into different teams. But this season apparently something different happened. I love to fantast football in English Premier League. A small bunch from college plays this for the whole year with fantastic intensity. For the first time, IPL official site was offering this and I was hooked onto it for the fun and thrill of selecting a squad and analyzing the teams. For the whole IPL season, I played the league with total commitment. And on one friday, news comes in about betting and fixing in IPL. Now, I am an avid fan but a practical one too. There was always a chance of betting in such a high profile event. But, this news took the wind out of my sails. Then, I stopped playing IPL fantasy and inadvertently stopped with cricket.
MY FAVORITE IPL PLAYER : CHRIS GAYLE
MY FAVORITE CRICKETER : SACHIN TENDULKAR
How is this run ..
Today, the betting circuit is run by a superbookie like CSK owners and RR owners. They provide team information to the betting mafia that sits in london. This way they pass onto info to TOP punters in India. The top punters gather that info and predict the outcome. That way they manipulate the odds and play the game.
God, this game has stooped to new levels. Thank you IPL. :(
