The ODI World Cup is a busy time for betting houses in India. During the 48 matches of the World Cup, billions of rupees flow in the betting market. Small and big betting groups are active in many cities of India like New Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Varanasi, Mangaluru, Goa. During the World Cup, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is being used by the betting groups that have been operating in different cities.
Some media have reported that more than 250 crore rupees will flow into the betting market for this World Cup in the cities of Lucknow and Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh alone.
Dear India
Since the World Cup is being held in India, India is the favorite team of the betting groups. India’s matches have more attendance and more cash flow. In this, India-Pakistan competition was ahead. Although not so much, the matches of Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa and Pakistan teams are also being bet on.
App for betting
Betting groups operate by providing online applications and websites. Their addresses will be circulated through Telegram. There are apps where you can participate in betting by depositing an amount starting from 5000. There are people who make many promises like ’20 percent will be returned’.
The betting gangs arrested by the police in South Delhi developed their own software. There is a slight time difference between the match taking place in the stadium and telecasting. This is what they used. A representative of the betting group will be at the stadium. Each ball is then sent to the outside representative via an electronic device. It was found that this group was making a profit of Rs 5 to 7 lakh in each match.
Police to catch
Police in states are working with central agencies to crack down on World Cup betting gangs. The state police is liaising with Mumbai and Delhi crime branch teams who have earlier caught betting cases.
Police arrested 19 people belonging to betting gangs from Dharwad in Karnataka. Rs 53,650 and mobile phones were seized from them. Three people were arrested in South Delhi yesterday. They are connected with big betting syndicates. 31,000 rupees and four mobile phones were seized from three people who were recently arrested in connection with betting in Mangaluru.
