Big Bottoms up….Bangalore and Deccans crash through Finals

A mind-boggling pitch of IPL season2 came alive on the semi finals. Friday came out as a big day for Deccans beating Delhi Daredevils in the most fascinating way by Gilchrist. Delhi was totally flashed by this genius batman called Gilly who scored the fastest fifty or IPL for just 17 balls with a total individual score of 84 for just 33 balls.

Bets were much in favor of Delhi but this was a total up down of the position.

In other semifinal on Saturday between Chennai and Bangalore, Bangalore proved yet again successful leadership of the Jumbo Kumble. Bangalore came out again with the mesmerizing batting of Manish Pandey to easily chase the target of 147 with 6 wickets in hand.

Bet bazaar was much in favour of Chennai and saw a major loss. Other bet was the toss which the bazaar favored Chennai but Bangalore proved that wrong.

Last 2 teams of IPL season 1 are now the top 2 contenders for IPL season 2. I wish both teams a great performance in the mega finale to be held on Sunday and wish our bet bazaar with some stunning results. Get ready for the biggest day of 2009 and get ready to flush into the bets forever……..enjoy.

In the first match Delhi conquered Mumbai Indians while chasing a big target of 166 runs. Sehwag was declared Man of the match for a nippy fifty.

In this match Bet bazaar was supporting Mumbai Indians with 9:8 against Delhi. Other bet was to decide what score Sachin would come with. A huge loss for Bet bazaar players as all the bets were put in the range either below 40 or above 50. Sachin was out for 46 runs.

Manish pandey from Bangalore played an unforgettable innings of 114 for just 73 balls being the first Indian to hit a century in IPL. Deccans lost the match chasing the total of 171 runs.

Bet bazaar was favoring RCB with 9:8. Other bet was who among Gilchrist, Gibbs, Taylor, Kallis and Boucher would score more. Fortunately only one player was betting for Gibbs who scored 60 runs as the highest among all options. Final bet was to decide which team would score more in the first over. It was a tie as both teams scored 4 runs in their first over.

Now IPL season 2 goes to its uppermost level of excitement with semi finals round the corner. Delhi, Deccan, Bangalore and Chennai will have to face tough days. Let’s make it more stirring, while enjoying the big thrills coming home all along with our all time high bets…

Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals crashed out

21^st May, A very decisive day in the history of IPL season 2. Two strong contenders Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab both lost their matches and any hope to be in Top 4. It was a day with low scoring matches. In the first match between Kolkata and Rajasthan Royals, RR put a target of 102. Knight Riders somehow managed to achieve the target in 20^th over losing 6 wickets. Lakshmi Shukla proved to be the Dream Man for Kolkata.

In other match between Chennai kings vs Punjab Kings, Chennai put a very low score of 116 runs. It was again the great captaincy of Dhoni to endure at harsh circumstances. Punjab Kings were brought down to ground by Chennai bowlers scoring just 92 runs.

Bet bazaar witnessed very tense day because of the low scores of the matches. Bets were in support of RR but went to KKR. Target for the first match was betted less than 135 by just 5% of bet bazaar players. Loosing more wickets was favoring KKR while RR lost 9 wickets aginst 6 by KKR. In the second match, Bet Bazaar felt relaxed after CSK winning the match. Total Catch outs in the match was favoring 6-9 which came rejoicing with 9 catch outs. Winning the toss was also favoring CSK which Dhoni proved right yet again.

Now the IPL picture is quite clear where Delhi, Deccans and Chennai are in Semis while Bangalore is on the verge of banking the spot. Game goes tougher now and the real infatuation has to come alive among the teams and the bet bazaar players. Keep your fingers crossed and keep watching the unlimited stimulation…

Dravid and Kallis outform, Bangalore in Top4

A quite balanced game by Bangalore Royal Challengers put them in top4 position. A low scoring match between Delhi Daredevils and Bangalore was a now or never situation for Bangalore. Delhi scored 134 runs with 7 wickets loss. No batsman could perform a dazzling inning for them. Pravin Kumar hit 3 crucial wickets for Bangalore. In reply Bangalore played very sensibly along with Kallis and Dravid. Dravid scored 38 while Kallis was not out for 58 runs. Ross Taylor played good hits to keep Bangalore in a very contented situation to win. Kallis was decided Man of the match.

Bet market was equally supporting Bangalore and Delhi to get a neutral response from the match. The other bet was to decide the team giving maximum runs in an over. Here Bet Bazaar was favoring Bangalore but got staggered with Delhi scoring less in any over.

The game is getting tougher every day and teams are in a big anxiety to reach the semi Finals. Will Bangalore make it to reach beyond Deccan and Punjab? More interesting days are to be followed. Till then enjoy betting every moment…Just live with pride…Cheers!!!

Knight Riders in wonderland

May 19^th, wait of 10 matches and then a triumph like magic. Really it felt as if Kolkata Knight Riders were dreaming in a wonderland. Not a decisive match but still a time for Kolkata to show their capacity against Chennai was held on Monday. Batting first Chennai Kings scored 188/3 in 20 overs. Dhoni and Raina made it a clean way for Chennai.

But came the Knight Riders from darkness and took out the breath from Dhoni’s members. Ganguly played his usual to score 4 of 14 balls. McCullam started showing the man behind him and kept hitting hard along with Hodge. 81 of 48 by McCullam and 71 of 44 by Hodge vanished Dhoni’s bowlers. This was by far the highest run chase with 7 wickets remaining in IPL season 2.

Bet bazaar was dazed heavily with the unappreciated performance by the most unexpected team. This was a history for bet bazaar along with the history for share bazaar with 2100 points jump to break the upper circuit limit haulting the trading for whole day. 80% loss was incurred for betting against Kolkata. Other bet was to decide the team with highest scorer of the match. McCullam disappointed the bet market with his best performance.

Shahrukh must be happy to register at least one victory without using Duckworth lewis rule. Come on dada you also need to show the man behind you in field as others did or else there will be a clean sweep for your place as that of your favorite Left front….

Yuvraj shines over Sharma, Devils stop Warne

Last Sunday of IPL 2 claimed an electrifying day for 20-20 lovers and bet players. In the first match between Punjab and Deccan, batting first Punjab scored 134. Sangakkara played his level best to score 56 runs. RP Singh did it again and took 3 vital wickets. Deccan seemed quite contented at the starting phase while Gilly was showing his all time favorite shots in Johannesburg. Then came Yuvraj with dramatic bowling and took another hat-trick to tremble Deccans. Rohit Sharma repeated the previous day thrill but was let down to not take it to an end. Preity’s team finally won the match with just 1 run.

Bet market was favouring Deccans who disillusioned the players. The other bet was to choose the victory margin which must have thrilled the bet bazaar with 1 run victory.

In the other match, Delhi Daredevils traumatized the dreams of Shane Warne. Batting first Delhi scored 150/3 going along with De Villiers, Dilshan and Dinesh karthik. Rajasthan could score only 136/9 in 20 overs and lost an imperative match.

Bet Market must be feeling good as it was in favor of Delhi this time. The other bet was to decide better first wicket partnership. Delhi again leaded this bet with 12 runs against 7 of Rajasthan Royals.

Overall a good day for IPL lovers. Game goes tough this time and also the bets. Last week remaining for this season. So keep betting with high spirits and dare bet for the losers….Enjoy!!!
