Yo. IPL time again
Most readers will know I post quite alot in here, mainly on the football and horse racing threads, and occasionally golf and snooker and threads about most big sporting events.
I am a useless punter, I do it for fun, and small stakes, and don't keep any kinda record of how much I've won or lost. That figure would probably reduce me to tears as the fivers and tenners soon add up.
Anyway I'm going to use this thread to try and make some money during this years IPL, it wont be big money either way, but hopeully it will enhance my enjoyment of the tournament.
Will post bets on most of the games, as well as overall tournament markets, and update the thread at least once every 2 days throughout the duration of the tournament.
The aim is simply to show a profit @ the end !
Bet sizing will be smaller to start with, T20 is a high varience game! and the IPL is crazy at times, so I want to see all the teams play at least once before committing to any 1 team to win the tournament.
Open tournament bets
Ashok Dinda, leading tournament bowler, £1ew @ 33/1
Leading tournament batsman, £1 ew, Rahane @ 25/1 & David Miller 50p ew @ 125/1
Miller is dynamite, there for the whole tournament, and shouldn't be anywhere near 150/1 if he gets a game. Only 4 overseas players allowed to play thought, and looking at his teams squad, I doubt they'll pick him very reguarly, hense the tiny stake.
Hoping he gets a game early when others might be unavailable, scores a load, and makes himself impossible to drop. Worth a go for a quid.
Also like Youvraj @ 40/1, can't understand why he's that big. I can't find anything online that suggests he's injured, so will have to wait and see if there's any info when his team plays.
Todays game
Highest 6 over team total - £10 on Dehli @ 4/5
Don't intend to have a tenner every game, but really like this bet, even without Sehwag.
KKR are more reserved at the top of the order, whereas Dehli aim to get off to a flyer. Early wickets could ofc change things, bt I expect a winning start!
Day 1
Profit/loss = n/a
Open bets = 4 to the value of £15
Lets hope ITV have sorted some decent pundits/presenters out this year, was unwatchable at times last year
Good luck any1 having a bet, and enjoy the cricket
*op changed slightly, just put the bets on that I picked out this morning, and prices changed slightly. All bets w/ B365 fwiw

No luck on Saturday, Pune somehow managed to fluff chasing down 130 on the flattest deck ever, tyvm Dale Steyn.
Missed yesterday, would have backed Rajistan, who won @ 13/10, but also Chennai who got beat. So would have broke even.
Have received a good offer from Corals, stake up to £20 and get 50% back if I lose.
So going to use that to bet on todays double header.
Keeping the faith with Pune @ home to Punjab (4/6) and obviously sticking with my team RCB who are odds on against Hyderabad (8/13).
£20 @ 1.5/1, w/ half of it being a freeroll.

Leaving the 2nd innings alone, kinda hope RCB lose so I can back them @ a bigger price to win the thing soon
