Bookies say Rajasthan Royals are the favourites

If you are the sort who follows the odds, then plump your money on Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals. The bookies consider them favourites to win the DLF IPL Trophy

At Rs 1.60 per rupee bet, Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals is the most favoured team of the bookies. Initially, they were least favoured with bookies betting on at Rs 13.

Out of the eight teams playing in the tournament, Team Jaipur is the current favourites at Rs 1.60, which means that for every rupee you bet on Warne and his men, you will win Rs 1.6 (plus your rupee back). Team Jaipur is followed by Team Mohali with Rs 1.90 while Team Chennai with Rs 2.25 on per rupee bet.

Punjab 11 may topple them.The ipl as they say is WIDE OPEN. With Mumbai which was languishing at the bottom getting some wins they are also in a dream mode.

I guess there are only two teams with no realistic chance of winning the IPL. They are RC and DC.

The other teams still have a chance.

Lets see how Rajasthan goes when all their white boys disappear.

UncleJ,

Money?

Q said...

Thats exactly the reason why u shudnt bet on RR.

The bookies will take in all the bets and RR will lose with a few people richer than others.

Are the Whiteys disappearing?

Ott u remember 1992 and Pakistan?

For some dreamers, DC and RCB can still make it if they win all their remaining matches and other results go in their favour.

the teams who were running on top have already started breathing heavily...CSKs, 3Ds...

MIs are picking up with added presence of GOD...

KKR too are movng smoothly on rawalpindi express...

suddenly whole tournament looks open...we will see lots of urgency from now on from the team...

its like knockout stage now...

Q,

The Whitey's are staying.

Modi has made arrangements to maintain a buffer zone around the players dug out.

Viswanathan said...

Pan,

Yes all teams barring DC and RC have a mathematical chance of getting into the semi's.

Homer,

I miss the context. Can you elaborate?

Homer said...

8 matches to go before the Cup comes home..

8 wins more before Mumbai take their rightful place in India's cricketing hierarchy - at the very top

Cheers

that's a tough one... somehow though chennai does not look like the one to win.

Q said...

KKR for the CUP!! Although what MI did to them today was devastating. 67!!

Watch the Rawal Pindi Express crash into Mumbai.

Homer said...

Jayasuriya decided to pull the chain on the express.

After Pollock took over from Harbahjan the Mumbai Indians have also picked up some wins and are pushing KKR and DC and devils for the fourth place.It doesnt matter whether u r third or fourth , they carry the same price money of 10 lac dlrs.
