Looks like I won my bet by betting on SRH and they won quite comfortably with an over to spare. They need to work on their and middle order since they consistently seem to underperform(Pandey, Hooda, Pathan etc) if they wish to lift the cup this year.

Congratulations on your winning bud. From last three days I am having bad days. Not sure when I will come back with some winning. Anyway, SRH deserved the win after restricting DC in only 129 runs.

Tomorrow we have RCB match with KKR. I don't think RCB can beat KKR. What do you think?

Thanks. Felt good to win after losing several times recently. SRH performed as expected and got the job done. Among RCB and KKR, I bet on RCB to win finally (Random guess) because I honestly feel sad for them.

I've gone with a comfortable victory for KKR in the pool, I can't see RCB beating them off the back of their awful performances recently, unless the reported 'strategy change' pays off in a big way.

That said, it's produced some interesting long odds for today's match which might be worth a small bet (min stakes are just 0.0000001 BTC after all!)

- Kohli to score 50 (2.74)
- De Villiers to score 50 (2.84)
- Lynn to score 50 (4.10)
- Stoinis to score 50 (5.50)
- Hetmyer to score 50 (7.00)

- KKR Total Runs after 6 overs: Under 44.5 (2.72)
- RCB Total Runs after 6 overs: Under 43.5 (2.84)

We've also just added top batsmen and top bowler markets

I feel like Kohli and Stoinis will score 50s, but I don't think Hetmyer will perform since he has underperforming very badly through out this tournament so far. Lynn seems to be out of form too along with De Villiers.

It will be interesting to see if RCB can register their first win of the season.

I have a feeling that RCB will play a massive match todaym Score will be 200+. It's KKR whom to lose by RCB for first this season.
What do you think? Anyone placed bet today?

RCB has a good start. Both Kohli and Parthiv started very well for them. They are hitting the balls very easily. Not sure who will win however it will be an entertaining match I think.

I have a bet for RCB to score under 126.5 runs in after 15 overs. Highly risky I feel now.

Totally possible due to the rate at which Kohli is striking the ball currently. They did lose Parthiv, but they still have a lot of power players remaining. Lets see what happens.

Kohli is already set. De Villiers will take few balls to settle down. I am expecting the next few overs will have slow run rate. Let's see what happen. I think I have 50/50 chance to win the bet I placed.

With RCB hitting 90 in 11 overs it's going to be close, a couple of wickets to shake up the batting order and you could be on to a winner there!

I'm still thinking the strike rate is too low to beat KKR on their current form, RCB are probably going to finish around 150 and I don't think KRR have scored under 180 so far this tournament.

After 13 over the run is 108. The 13th over from Narine was expensive. They scored 12 runs. If we see another high scoring over from any of the next 2 overs the I lose :-(

I think RCB will easily cross 150 mark. They may target 170+. Wickets are in hand so I do not see any pressure.

Edit:
There you have it. I can assure you that I lost. Russell gave 16 runs

Wow I spoke too soon, they really upped the strike rate in those last few overs 

I'm still going for a KKR win but it's going to be much tighter than I thought.

It's cricket. Like other sports it's also hard to predict. 205 runs after 20 over where it was looking like that they barely will score 170 runs. All started from 14th over from Russell.

Sad part of this evening is that I am done with gambling in IPL (may be). Last few days were terrible for me. Lost one after another bet and I need to take a break from gambling.

Hey this was going to be a redemption match for Rcb I was expecting nothing less than 180 runs, but never expected they would actually score 200+ runs. I also feel KKR has a strong batting line up, but then in IPL no team is guaranteed victory till the end. Also it’s sad to hear about your journey Royse777 I would advise you to save for now, and then play in the final as I feel the league is starting to get very volatile now.

What the hell is Russel playing!! He has ruined the dream of Virat Kohli. I thought it will be the first win for RCB this season. Alas! What a match by Russel. Rain of sixes.

[Bdstar]

Russel is unstoppable, 48 runs from just 13 balls.KKR won by 5 wickets.Andre Russel took 29 runs from second last Over of Southee.So, now RCB have to wait for thier first victory on IPL 2019.It's a horror night for Kohli and his team.205 runs isn’t enough to beat KKR.RCB will be very disappointed for sure.

From the initial match of KKR onwards He just blasting everyone's ball.

I am not really fan Windies players but his all round performance was making me to think Flintoff from England team. Windies players needs good management to handle then perfectly. Perfect way to understand it by seeing their performance on intl matches and league matches.

Insanity. RCB could not defend 66 freaking runs from 4 overs. This team is in a horrible place right now and I can only imagine how their home crowd must feel after this match. I guess a glimmer of hope that they held on to faded away.

RCB bowlers seriously messed up big time. Also, I lost my bet again by betting on RCB.

Andre Russel just stole the show with his power hitting and I really wonder what the odds would have being when Karthik got out with a lot of runs needed to win the match . Kohli does not know how to win these kind of matches and his sad face after every defeat is a common theme now, best two batsmen in the world in ABD and Kohli and still they cannot win even with runs on the board.

Sorry for your lose bhai, This thing tends to happen when we place a bet against overs-runs. take a break for some time or just switched to simple Win-lose scenario.

But man what match we have witnessed last night, How many time we see Kohli and ABD batting together and hitting sixes and complementing each other so well. It was a pleasure to watch both of them.  I used to wish Sometimes that if they could somehow manage to play red ball cricket for one team against Rest of the world's team.

But Rusell stole the show, and that was some excellent power hitting.

In the End, apart from bowlers, everyone enjoyed the match here

I didn't expect Southee to bowl like that,he was such an experienced international cricketer but at the end he even can't control his nerves.Only Spinners bowled well yesterday for RCB and all other pacers gone for 16 runs per over so this could be the end for RCB in this tournament since they lost five out of five.

Russell is going through one of hi best from taking the matches to win single handed fro the KKR. he has stole the show yesterday where at one point it was an easy win for RCB but he came and splash the ball all around the park.
