Vidarbha bookies betting on IPL


The advertising crowd, the media and even the blogger's are scratching their heads trying to decide on how or whether IPL will make money.


However, there is one set of people who are confident that they will reap a windfall with the IPL.


The Vidarbha bookies estimate that they will make atleast Rs.500 crore in the preliminary stages of the IPL tournament. They are quietly confident that the betting will increase as the tournament progresses's and expect the betting on the big matches to go upto 100 crores per match.


Now here is the shocker. They reiterate that these figures are just for the Vidarbha region and state that in metros like Delhi and Mumbai the betting will be "four to five times" more.


If the bookies themselves are confident, should we doubt the money making potential of the IPL?
