So I am starting my own picks for IPL  2018, I don't know why but I feel just lucky that my predictions will be correct.

Date : 13/04/18 : RCB vs KXIP : Pick KXIP : Status : Lost
Date : 17/04/18 : MI vs RCB : Pick MI Status : Win
Date : 18/04/18 : Royals vs KKR Pick : RR  Status Pending

Surprised people are still betting on IPL.Which websites are taking IPL bets ? You do know right IPL is heavily match fixing scheme which manipulates the games depending on the bets.I have suffered it every time predicting an obvious winner and then exactly opposite happening.Best of luck to you though.

I doubt your view on IPL. You are probably misunderstanding IPL with PSL. IPL matches are not fixed. Earlier a scandal surfaced about match fixing and few teams got suspended for 5 years from the tournament. Also everytime you loose on prediction doesn't necessarily mean that matches are fixed. It is because you have predicted out of emotions and not on facts. IPL is a very clean tournament, it is not Pakistan Super League.

Dude really ? You seem like to be delusioned by all the media and social network talks.Why do you think all the super rich fuckers of the Indian society are buying players if making more money is not the main intent behind it ? Why would anyone promote a game if they don't get anything back in return ?
Recently saw a video of that African DouceBag Christ Gayle having a party in Yacht before arriving to India.Who do you think pays for all that ? Fuckin big time gamble is IPL.

IPL is definitely the mother of all gambling seasons if you observe closely the match will change post the strategic break, obseerve few matches and you'll believe it happens. I have heard lots of people predicting before the run or wicket happens, look how a winning team suddenly looses and then wins. How do you think it happens. For tonight game Bangalore I feel will have a good chance, and btw Gayle is not a SA player lol.

You can see that almost all the teams are sponsored by some brands so which is the main reason for their investing the promotional purposes of their brand through worldwide.But earlier the match was fixed by players not by the owners and the players and bookies were arrested and jailed.So we can't expect all the players to be like that.

Nitrogensports, Fairlay and Sportsbet accepts IPL bets not sure about other bitcoin sportsbook.

I rarely follow the competitive scene in cricket so I can't say anything about the teams fixing the matches. If there are fixing involved in the future matches these bookies should void or cancel all the bets that were placed.

What do you guys think about the matches today ? Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders to win ? or would there be a potential upset?

Damn none of the websites that I find reliable are accepting IPL bets. :/

The thing is,IPL is designed in a way that it promotes betting and investors.It's the way richer get rich and bookies multiply their profits.I shit you not,the game gets flipped entirely in mid-match.Like 1 run to make from 5 balls and then the players gets hurt all of a sudden.Lot of such instances which show how rigged are these games.

Bet on the obvious losing teams,you will win.

Looks like my first prediction turned out to be wrong.It was a close match tho, but giving ball to wrong bowlers changed changed the game.Ashwin is still inexperienced and needs better guidance from his fellow senior players.
For today's match I will pick KXIP
They are already 127/2 (11.3 Ovs), damn good score.Clear win for them .-.
You can do live betting at sportsbet
GOOD LUCK!

is one of the safest predictions. I did not really follow the match at the Indian premier league. just look at some threads that discuss this. where are you betting? other than in sportsbet?
I will follow some of your predictions. for luck

Definitely team owners are getting richer through IPL but that certainly doesn't mean that IPL matches are fixed. A parallel sports betting industry definitely exists but that's pure speculation like stock market.

There is term called sponsorship and TV rights. Cricket is most popular game in India and brands are more than willing to spend billions to get a right advertising spot in the tournament. If you see their jersey, it is overloaded with brand logos. That's how majority of the money comes from.

Secondly, the match tickets are 4 times costlier than the normal international cricket games. Teams get a percentage from the ticket selling as well.

Thirdly, the TV rights are equally distributed between the team based on the numbers of matches they play.

Finally the merchandising. This is a small but another source of income for the team owners. These are some significant sources of income I mentioned here. They don't need to fix the matches for earning. Definitely people bet and speculate on IPL matches but that's a parallel industry and doesn't really interfere with results.

As expected KXIP won, CSK gave a very good fight tho.Applauds for them.

Tonight mumbai will face RCB.Mumbai doesn't seems to be doing well this season(its too early to say tho).
Banglare has a strong line up but not a reliable one.Whereas Mumbai Indians has a reliable line up.It will be a home match for mumbai indians.Low key, I am hoping mumbai to win.But I won't place bets until the first innings is finished.Good luck bois!

As for the fixing thing, the matches AREN'T FIXED AT ALL.IPL earns a lot from advertisement, this isn't PSL.
IPL comes just next to NBA in revenue, WhyTF would they do bring shame by fixing matches.Albeit there might be some greedy players, who might be the fixers.But pretty sure it doesn't effect the match much.

Dhoni played well I too agree for that but I see jaddu came early before Bravo. That is the worst move from the CSK move with the match against KXIP team. In the fielding side KXIP team captain to others done too much misfielding. Still CSK unable to reach the winning moment on that day.
Instead of Ravindra Jadeja, they may take the Karan sharma inside the time.
Jaddu as of now there is no any big performance from him mate.

IPL prediction is difficult than international matches.

Today its going to be between Mumbai and Bangalore. A tough choice, can't support any team by virtue of place haha. Though I feel Bangalore is a much better team but Mumbai is playing at wankhade, so this time I'll be picking up Mumbai for the win.
May my winning streak continue!

Hi mate,I think we already have a thread about IPL predictions so do you think this thread is also necessary?I think it will just shatter the discussion so it will be better if we keep one thread for the IPL 2018.

So lock this thread and concentrate on this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3233064.0

I believe that was more of a discussion thread however here I am just giving out my picks.
Didn't have time to focus on the matches in past couple of days so missed them. Keep looking out for the future picks.

But what I am saying is we can keep this picks on that same thread too right?

But if you want to keep only your picks here then it will be better to keep this thread alive.And one more think you can do is edit the OP about your win and lose about the games which you are pick.

That was some cool and common sense strategy but it is not very easy to pick up all the losing teams. Anything can happen anytime. Cricket is a game of skills but sometimes, luck is also involved and plays more important role in the success of a team than talent. Above all, I am also not in the favor of sports betting or any kind of gambling. It is just a risky and harmful game.

Even I expect Mumbai to win today.Even though they have lost the toss, and its a hard pitch so very hard to defend.But they can still put up a good fight.They are headed by Rohit sharma, who has guided MI to victory 4 times.He is an experienced man, and needs a win very badly today.
Today will be the test of his captaincy skills.Today McClenaghan will be playing today.

As for RCB, McCullum is on the bench today.The bowling wing will ride on Umesh yadav.He's an amazing bowler.Lets hope that his magic fails today lol
Whoever wins, this is going to be an amazing and intensive game.MI VS RCB has always been an intense battle .-.


Looks like OP wants to keep a personal thread on his predictions.I would suggest OP to add an ROI too.So that people can get an idea of your accuracy.

Umesh yadav opened the starting match spells and he picked the two wickets in first two balls bro. In the MI side Mclanagen picked the top two wickets for their side. Really fingering biting match.
After the Rohit sharma's 94 runs hit. Now I am looking to find the Virat's innings same like that for bangalore team.
I do not why the thread locking suggestion has been given. Instead of this suggestion you asked to lock the thread which is been used for spamming mate.

Rohit Sharma played the good innings and due to which the score went 213 despite the poor start from MI. RCB have lost 5 wickets already and still require 127 runs in 48 balls. Most likely MI should register their first win and captain led this from the front.

RCB is going to lose this game they need 77 runs in 13 balls and they lost 8 wickets. Captain Kohli is alone fighting but no use now time is over but he has a chance to make a century. This is MI first win in this season.

Tomorrow match RR vs KKR high voltage match maybe KKR will win.

This was the match where MI was looking upto the mark and the way they played reminded us of the last year champions MI was. This win came at the right team as captain led from the front and definitely it will boost the confidence of the MI as well for next matches.

Brilliant win by MI and an easy one. MI innings was really pleasing to see, RCB batsmen weren't at fault as the target was too high to chase.

Today's match : Royals vs KKR Pick : RR

Kind of very sure of this match, also getting brilliant odds on Royals.

Dude, thank you so much for your merits.And cheers on getting your prediction right(even I predicted the same ;) ).But I was serious about the ROI part, use the odds at the time of your prediction.I suggest you to do it after 4~5 predictions, but you should add the odds from now.Then it will be easier for you to calculate it.

As for today's match.Gonna disagree with you, KKR has better chances to register a win.They have got a perfect combination of bowlers and batsmen.And don't forget sunil narine,a fearless pinch hitter.I am just worried about Andre Russel and his injury.He's a leading run scorer, and if he is unable to play today then it will be a setback for KKR.

If andre plays then choose KKR, else Royals.Sports bet is giving 1.7x on KKR, WHICH ARE VERY LOW.Wait for the live betting to start, and hit your money just when the odds crosses 1.9x
GL!

You picked the wrong side bro,KKR won today's match,because RR doesn't have better team while batting lot of bad performance from rajasthan batsmen so they need to develop their team in the upcoming matches.

I sometimes feel if people start actually betting just against me, then they'll be in profit I.e just pick the team opposite as that of mine, I am maybe just too unlucky.

IPL games we can't predict based on previous game results i think you picked RR because the last match they batted well against RCB and won the match today same batting line up was failed to make a big score so they lost the game.

we have only two choices we have to follow your pick or we have to bet against your pick this time you lost but who knows tomorrow your luck may change and you will win.

Next match: Kings XI Punjab vs Sunrisers Hyderabad i will pick: KXIP

I'd pick KXIP as well, primarily because of Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, and Ashwin. The match would be interesting though, Sunrisers Hyderabad does have some good batsmen as well like Williamson an Shakib, and they've not lost a single match in this tournament till now.

Surprising that you have listed out Yuvraj, Gayle and Ashwin as the best batsmen for KXIP. I would have given more importance to younger players such as Karun Nair, Lokesh Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. Rahul's strike rate is close to 200 so far this season.

But what he said is right the best batsmen is who can perform consistently in the international matches we can't say someone as best batsman for played well in the three games,but KL rahul is one of the best batsmen he played in international matches others need to perform well consistently to call as best.

Punjab has one of the best consistent hard hitters in their line up, plus ex Indian bowler (as he rarely plays for India now) experience matters a lot. Punjab are a formidable side and if Gayle starts blasting at the top of the order they'll continue to dominate this tournament. Though if they falter it'll be bad, let's wait and eee how they perform in the coming matches.

OP, told ya.KKR won, as I said! All praises to Nitish rana.Winning without andre rusell, is really an awesome job done by KKR.


Yup, Punjab is really coming out to be a strong team.KL rahul, ashwin, gayle.DAMN, they have everything, real kings XI punjab.

Today's match CSK VS RR.CSK will be an obvious pick.No need to give any thought to it.I will place my money on CSK :)

Yesterday none of the other factors came in to the picture. It was Chris Gayle all the way. Apart from Karun Nair (who made 31), none of the other batsmen scored more than 20. And remember that during the auctions Gayle went unsold during the first day. How humiliating it could have been for him!

Team owners insulted the champion batsman ohhhhh,now he is answering with his performance that you did wrong guys,he played only two games but he now is getting on to the top run scorer list,I think he is in the third place.

They not insulted actually his performance was not good since last few seasons that is why he was not sold the first day. Did you observed one thing all x RCB players are playing excellent in this season Chris Gayle, k L Rahul and Watson. yesterday match Chris Gayle made a century and today's match Watson made a century. rahul also playing well.

That is why I am saying they are answering to the RCB owner he did wrong thing by not buying them.Chris Gayle always a champion batsman only a songle game can get back him into the form,now he is in red hot for with top 3 run scorers of this season but the important thing is others played four games gayle played only two.

Today is RCb vs MI match. I'd like to go with RCB this time. Enough of seeing them loose for the season. This might bring up my ROI and the team itself isn't too bad but the odds being offered on RCB are excellent.

RCB vs MI : RCB

Do you think RCB can win this match?

I don't think so because their bowling is quite bad and they are not able to defend even 200+ runs. They actually failed in all departments like batting, bowling, and fielding so it is very hard for them to win this match and to qualify for the next round. Virat failed as an IPL captain and he should give it to someone else to manage it.

I see more odds for MI and I will wait till the toss. Whoever chases wins this match according to me :) Both the team are strong and MI has just won a match against CSK and hence will be out there on the field with more confidence than RCB . One thing for sure , both teams will give their best and it will be entertaining match .

So I have finally concluded that sports is not my cup of tea, and almost all my picks go right in the very opposite direction.

Lost a lot this IPL season, finally taking retirement from sports gambling.

Closing this thread.

Hahaha, you need to pick the team means wait till 6 overs to complete first. I mean power play should be over before you go to bet on any team. Really you will find the good value in odds as well. Then the team you see will mostly shows the winning momentum from the over you pick it.
I think IPL matches fixed after I see the Mumbai team started winning the most of the matches. They are not all capable team see these winnings.

Sorry to hear that bud , the thing in sports betting is you gotto see individual performers potential . I have made good profits this season ( just like past 3-4 seasons) sorry to see you give up but a break is essential in sports betting . Good luck.

Long back I mentioned that IPL matches are very difficult to guess the results because most of them might be fixed. Most of these teams got good players so don't know when these guys start hitting. Just one or two guys do a good batting is enough for the team to win on that day so you can't bet just based on their past performances. That's why for betting I will always go with international matches. But these IPL matches are very good for watching and enjoying your free time.

Perfectly said mate. I see recently Jos Butler to came to RR team and he is smashing the bowlers to over the yards bro. Therefore betting on IPL matches will not show the result as we expected bro. Best you can keep invest on tennis matches alone. I see you can gain the profit according to the less odds player or you can check the stats in flash score website and bet on the player you believe.

Every sport has its own risk associated with each match . The amount of risk in soccer is more because of 3 way outcome ( 1 x 2) and in cricket also its more ( IPL ) because all the teams are equally strong . In tennis the risk is just less compared to other sports but it has its own risk too , last week Nadal v Thiem , Nadal had 1.05 odds pre-live and Thiem had around 11.5 , the latter won the match in straight sets .

From next time bet on that opposite side. :)

I have also not been able to follow much on this season due to my busy schedule. College time was fun when we used to have bets on almost all the matches even when we had no money. :)
