Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

[Haunebu]

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.

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.

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.

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?

@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.

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

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 :-)

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.

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!

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.

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.

[AB de Royse777]

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 :-)

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....

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.

Don't know what's happening in today match. now it's getting more interesting. perfect opportunity for Raydu to get his form back and win match for his team.

Can we see another top-notch performance of Dhoni tonight?

The match is gaining good momentum as Dhoni and Rayudu makes the partnership very strong. Now there shouldn't be loss of wickets to win the game. Easy reachable target is kept in front of CSK, 88 runs out of 48 balls. RR is quite good in its fielding which makes them strong.

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.

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.

DC now just requires 19 runs in 20 balls and have 8 wickets remaining. Dhawan is batting on 91 and would complete the century and win The match for DC. He would be the Player of the match for today's match. Andre Russell is on fire in this IPL.

Yeh, unfortunately my bet was for KKR today. The luck is not favouring me. Always choosing the wrong team LOL

Pant just got out but I do not think this will make any difference. DC will win this match.

I bet on DC and made the right call. KKR have an amazing batting lineup, but their bowling lineup is pretty average when compared to DC which has a great batting and bowling lineups overall.

It is great to see Dhawan back in form.

Congrats bud in your winning. I hope the stake was good.

Yeh, DC made it an easy game for them especially when Dhawan took the ship to the port very safely. I was thinking sometimes in the middle they will lose wicket and the match will go away from them but KKR bowlers really could not challenge them at all. KKR also missed some chances to add some more runs in the scoreboard.

[Sithara007]

Finally Sreyas Iyer can be happy with the batting display by his team. Shikhar Dhawan made 97 and Rishabh Pant scored 46. But now the focus must return to their bowling attack. All the three foreign bowlers conceded more than 10 runs per over, and it was Ishant Sharma and Axar Patel who made sure that KKR will not cross 200.

[Little Mouse]

Rusell again played a good innings today. Seems he is unstoppable in every match. However, Dhawan made it at the end, sad that he missed the century. Sticking at 97 is really hurts a lot.
