Sports Betting in India

‘Betting’ is often a misunderstood term across the globe. Yes, it involves a lot of risks and is based on luck rather than skills.However, things have changed with the advancement of technology. While offline betting is illegal in many countries like India, there is no law so far that makes online betting an illegal activity. Except for some countries like the USA where they have American Internet Gambling Prohibition Act that makes online betting an illegal activity. India is a land where cricket is worshipped, and so is the IPL(Indian Premier League). IPL tops the list of betting in most of the betting companies. The world betting market is estimated to be around $2.5 trillion. It is estimated that the Indian gambling market alone is about US$60 billion with steady growth every year. You can bet on every prospect of a match from batting, bowling to the wicket. You may also bet on the final result of a match – who will win and who will lose. Also, you can bet on a wide variety of sports which means not only cricket but also games like football, horse racing, basketball, badminton and many more.

Betting Odds

The betting rates are displayed in the form of these odds. They help you to know the probability and price of betting. For example, if you place a bet on 6/1 and win, you will get six units you have won plus the one unit which you had bet.Let’s take that you put a bet of 800 on these odds then if you win; you get a profit of 4800(800*6) and your 800 which you had bet back that makes a total of 5600 (4800+800). These odds can also be sometimes written as ‘money lines’. You will see odds on almost every kind of sports betting. The odds are quite similar in terms of value, but there are certain terms in each game that are associated with an odd. It means that you need to understand each and every fact of a betting term before placing a bet. If you try to jump to different sports, you need to put more effort since each game has many different betting terms and style. That is why we recommend that you stick to one game until you become an expert in that. After that, you can try out other games.
