Modi's new way of churning money from IPL !!!

Wearing white shirts does not make anybody a gentleman and cricket is definitely NOT a gentlemans game!! Its a game where emotions flare high, abuses are caught openly while watching it on TV and now its the same game where 'Maa Ki' was interpreted as MONKEY et al!! Its a circus and created by some foolish moral politicos who have dampened the spirit of the game!

Match fixing is not at a part of this! Why bring it up or even consciously compare??

6Up was a good way of attracting more and mor eyeballs and the SP was also making good money out of it! Quite a unique idea! Now I wonder if BCCI was promised a chunk of the revenue what it would have done?

I am not participating simply because I dont think I have that knowledge of the game.  However, I am not opposed to betting.  I agree that there is no need to be taboo.  When large number of people participate and large money is involved, regulatory mechanisms come into place.  Look at the share market.  There are people to manipulate.  They do succeed for some time.  But regulators catch up.  It is only because in betting and gambling there is a clear divide, of those who gamble and those who do not, the regulation is not properly in place.  For those who gamble, rational decisions are not possible since they are exploited.  Those who do not, don't bother to bring in regulatory mechanism.  Internet/SMS/TV is a good media.  If this can bring about regulation and a proper opportunity arises for intelligent analysis, why not sports become a platform for betting?

he is having creativity and the power to show and use ....and finally he is geting result

Is betting wrong?

Why is it such a taboo? Why is making money indiscreetly such a huge topic of discussion? And when the people involved are enjoying making money or losing it, why are others suliking? If you have the guts, intuition and the moolah... go ahead have fun multiplying it or dividing it!!

IPL has indeed offered us a visula treat! Its pulsating, its unpredicatble and it has the excitement of 'anything can happen' thumping under every match! And if Modi has dreamt this baby and is nurturing it to be a 'cash cow' why are we so biased? I am proud that an 'Indian' thought of this and is making it one of the most successful games after the Premier League!

Way to go!

Let us not try to draw comparision between Match Fixing scandal and this game of prediction.

The reason is in the case of Match Fixing the players were allegedly given huge amount of money to under perform hence affecting the outcome of an event in an biased hence illegal manner, while in this case predicting the scores for each ball in an over in advance does not affect the outcome of the event as the participant in this game has got no bearing/control over the events.

By trying to say that Lalit modi is promoting an event which will affect the outcome/results of matches is just going overboard and trying to kill the fun of reality game show.

Lalit Modi has done a smart act. It is true that it is only betting or lottery in which by putting 3 Rs. you earn 1 lakh.

But modi has smartly disguised the betting into a fun game. It needs skills and guts to predict the 6 balls of the over.

I do agree it just another way of jamming the network  by sending SMS till the time one has spent an fortune to get the prize money.

Betting hold on don't we have a contest going on of guessing the next PM of India and the winner stands to win an fabulous car besides that why do we tend to see betting in negative light unless and untill it induces/influences directly or indirectly the outcome of an event in an unlawful and illegal manner.

Let us also be honest enough in acepting the basic fact that it just natural human nature to try to predict the outcome of an event before the occurence of the event, let us not categorise all the astrologers betters??

You can call it betting if you are just guessing but here you are predicting based on the way flow of match. If there is a wicket fall you normally wont expect a 6 or a 4 immediately so, there could be some 0's and 1's and if you could atleast predict some of them correctly they say 4 or 5 or atleast total runs we can win so sounds good to me. But if you wanna call it betting its how you see it.

I think you have made no mistake in asking all these questions but you would have got all the answres if you have been to their website http://www.play6up.in/.  

Regarding you question "What is the time limit with in which a person can send the SMS?" - just had a look at the FAQ's on their site and other content areas - by the looks of it we can only send SMS before the start of the over so once the over starts the prediction goes into the next over. And regarding -"if a wicket fall in the over (No body will write about wicket fall for his favourite team.) how to write and will they give any extra importance to this?? " - it says you can only enter runs so if a wicket falls and if it is not a run out consider that a 0 or if it is a runout then count the runs made and no extra allowed so always it will be one of the numbers from 0 to 9.
And regarding network problems - I think we should start thinking optimistically. Anyway lets see how it goes.

When Other mobile service provider say to guess the MOM or MOS or no of 6s in the match, no body tells it is a betting but when IPL is doing ,it is betting!! Why??
