I know quite a few ppl who bet on matches...hv understood the magnitude of money involved in this too...though it seems hypothetical but matches being fixed cant be ruled out for the sheer magnitude of monies being betted.

Dear Ram and Naushad First of all, U may not aware that how much money these B type Players have got for 3 year's( its very low compare to some star players) . Second, you dont know, how much a player get to throw a match, if its peanuts as per u than it by of gold. third, there was a air that 20,000 crore was betted on final. There are so many good domestic players in IPL, but everyone knows the mysterious selection of indian time most of time. why following players have been left out eg- robin uthapa , murli kartik , pragyan ojha , saurabh tiwari ....... in coming t20, So why wont they accept it the money as they know or dont know the way to get in indian team. There are lot of retired players as well to make money, YOU dont need 7-8 player to fix, just 2 in any team can make the difference-- Robin, Yusuf, rayadu, tiwari, kallis, yuvraj, I hope its clear to u...

Those who believe tht, IPL matches were nt fixed, I have just one quetion to asked.. In the Mega-Finals b/w MI & CSK, when Mumbai was badly lacking behind in the Reqd. Run Rate.. Whn sum 70 runs are reqd in 30 balls, Duminy cums out in middle instead of highly potential Pollard, and what he does is scoring 6 in 7 balls & getting caught. Jus why was Pollard nt sent earlier???

My consciousness still say "NO". But, the way my room mate reacts...when some one looses easy catches..i also tend to believe ...yes match is fixed....but at the same time i try to explain him...it is a game of uncertainty ..anything can happen....it is just ur presumption that the particular catch is deliberately lost.

The I.P.L. has brought India all shame. --- Yes, now made known that some matches were 'fixed' - further probe may elaborate things -- Now India is at par in regard to "Money Laundering" that with Morisus and Dubai etc ... crores of unknown fund was invested in IPL --- Show of money strength and extra vaganza never done like this --- Violation of FEMA rules, Company rules, Anti Competation Rules etc have taken place in IPL --- Not all are political personalities, others got involved in the fisco - including national and international Corporates ( we like to express our 'graze' against politicans ... as if others are innocent ) -- Further probe may tell us whether D-company was used in this dirty game or not -- Had there any role of ' women and sex ' in IPL ? ... probe may say ----------------- A now popular joke copied here : --- AIDS ... = Humans --- MadCow desease = Cow --- I.P.L. .... = Cricket

I agree with Abhishek here, the way few matched have panned out, it does seem beyond reasonable doubt that there are some such forces working in tandem. However, it is also true that it's not the case with all matches/teams. Also, lets get together in our own way to thwart any out of court settlements being contemplated by these perpetrators.. It is a crime committed against a nation and not just a disagreement between individuals.

Sorry. IPL matches are definitely fixed. IPL should become a subsidiary of the WWF. The great ease with which matches are surrendered show that there is some other story ruling the roost.

All games are fixed by the rules of the game and the people who decide on these rules. And the main rule is that everything is OK as long as it is not specifically illegal and someone is caught in doing illegal things. From the history of the Olympic games we know that the men did not want the women to compete. The women sneaked in and participated, so the Olympic Committe change the rules: All competitors had to compete naked, so you could see if they were men or not. Money is just one of the means to influence the results. In the good old days most of the participants in Tour de France was drunk and high on cocain. Money is just one of a series of addictive means used in all sports. The right and obligation to make fair rules are guided by a small group of people. Usually it is the players who cheat and become responsible, the rule-givers are usually seen as above the game. Let the innocent throw the first stone. It is hardly the media who lives from scandals.

IPL is a big marketing gimmick, wherein all franchisees, players, advertising companies and all concerned including BCCI etc etc ?? end up making money for all obvious reasons. I do not subscribe to the idea that a player in an IPL team or the Franchisee would go to the extent of losing a match for money. They are making money by the tons. Why would a player who is being paid more than he would have imagined throw away a match for peanuts. The matches i do not think would have been fixed to suit a particular team.

IPLs main revenue is through sponsorship which is viewed by innocent fans of cricket and if they are lead to believe that everything is fair play and under the table if match-fixing is done, it is not only crime under Indian Laws but also ethically degenerated practice. To justify such act, if match fixing allegations are true is a shame on the sport itself. ---------------------------------------------- It is not for us to pre-judge till a thorough investigation is taken place, now that the allegations are in the air.

NO... I FIRMLY BELIEVE THEY R NOT FIXED... Lets undrstand one thing... To FIX a Match, U need at least 7-8 Players on your side & to find so many Players of That Nature is not possible. Second... earlier Cricketers were not PAID so well, Today they are HANDSOMELY PAID & PAID TO PEFORM... WHY SHOULD THEY SELL THEMSELVES ? We are taking all this a bit more seriously... LETS ENJOY THE GAME & HAVE FUN. Even if the were FIXED...Did WE NOT ENJOY THEM. Another Important Point to note is... This is such an Impulsive Game, that sometimes Players Play unimaginable Shots or Bowl a idiotic delivery... How Do We React ? BOSS... BOLTA THA NE, MATCH FIXED HAI ! Arrey Chill... and Enjoy the game. IPL 3 was certainly a fantastic LEAGUE & has inspired some memorable Performances from MANY... I WILL EAGERLY WAIT FOR IPL 4. Happy Debating Friends !

IPL is modern technology game of cricket. Just 20 overs, a nano game but sweet, interesting, facinating ,thrilling, motivating- batsman and Bowlers to highest performance of energy . Stadiums full of spectators ,all spectator full of zest, fashion, energy . Tickets are heavy compared to other matches but big flow for participating in matches as viewers . I Think It is not Fixing But love for gameacceptance from people . Viewers on tv ,homes, markets are anxious ,interesting. So it is not fixing . What is there in 50, one day, match it is there in 20 but more widely accepted. Now a days commercialisation is need so 20-20 is labelled as money money . Like industry ,business, Ipl is game cum business . If prinicipal runners of ipl have share capital it is good and legal . They can borrow money to pump up in IPl matches as reward to Cricket players just like taking working capital into Business, taking working capital loan from bank or foreign lender . If good business cycle,wc could be returned and profit made, if failed to return loss . so why to get burned for fixing . All the way fix is not good ,keep on changing is the rule of nature ,human psychology to find thrill and interest in life and i,e,20-20. Hope every thing is as per laws and acts .

I do not find space in between yes and No on toosteps. I strongly feel that Mr SHARLOCKHOMES or Pirote should be appointed for inveatigation. It is a big ? who invest in gambling, AND HOW PAISE IS IMPORTANT ,THERE IS NO QUESTION OF CHUTTA , comman public could be crazy for gambling or for making money. so real game joy is for innocent viwers to see the game and romance on ground of sixes and fours .

You can't really say with such confidence that they are fixed. Although I agree there is huge amounts of money involved in betting which could open up potentiality of match fixing, I do not think its happening. We have seen so many close fought games, and players playing with such huge fashion it really has been a wonderful tournament thus far. Though it is getting tarnished a bit with all the allegations on and against modi, tharoor, I believe IPL is still in an unstable state, it would take another couple of seasons before it is regarded as a huge oraganization for cricket passionates. It certainly has been hugely popular everywhere, I hope it doesn't lose its glamour and passion and it stays forever with lot of exciting teams and players coming. ~Abhi
