neilovan Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) A few interesting developments regarding the IPL. Stokes is out, and this will seriously dent the RR chances of doing well. They need him like blood for the batting, but their real weakness is in bowling. No team conceded more runs in the last IPL (Round robin stage) than the Royals (2482 runs in 14 matches, for an average of 177 per match). In 15 of the 20 overs they were in the top 3 teams for runs conceded. Normally this would not be such a problem because this is a batting heavy side. But without Smith and Stokes, they are now lopsided, and will struggle. Looking at two critical sections of the game from a bowling perspective. Mumbai are 14% better than the Royals in the 1-6 over range in S/R conceded. Mumbai are 22% better than the Royals in the 15-20 over range in S/R conceded. No amount of batting can overcome this sub standard bowling, giving the Royals virtually no chance of making the playoffs. I think the Sunrisers will do very well in this IPL, based on exceptional bowling. They are the best bowling attack in the comp, especially on slow, spinning, Indian wickets. In 10 of 20 overs they are either leaders in runs conceded or 2nd in runs conceded. But they are a little over-reliant on Warner, and Bairstow. Holder needs to step up, but in a game, if any of these three get going batting wise, they are a great "in match" bet for the win. Again, nobody will be more difficult to bat against than Rashid Kahn. Another team that still looks unbalanced are Kolkata . They blew a big win yesterday. They have no batting power at the tail end, and have not rectified this problem for this season. For me even at this early stage I would be betting against the Royals, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata almost every match. Tough matches will be when these teams play each other, and I would leave those. I just don't like CSK. Not much changed for them from last season, and Dhoni and du Plessis are a year older. OUTRIGHT WINNER Mumbai Indians +275 Delhi Capitals +500 Royal Challengers Bangalore +550 Sunrisers Hyderabad +650 Chennai Super Kings +700 Kolkata Knight Riders +750 Punjab Kings +1000 so RCB are at 5.5, while RR are nowhere. TODAYS match is the Royal Challengers versus Sunrisers. For me the RCB are a better balanced team. Almost matching SRH in bowling, but definitely superior in batting. They just need to play smart against Rashid Khan, and not lose (KEY wickets) to him. They do that I think they win today.

One thing that annoyed me in the match was Morgan going for a big 6 when they were fully in control. It just wasn't necessary and it started the capitulation.

Fader Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'm going to stick with my pre-tournament pick and pick RCB to win again, today. They look like they have Padikkal back and with ABDV, Kohli and Maxwell also in that line-up, I just feel like they have a potent batting line-up with a solid bowling mix. I think Hyderabad may have to look to Bairstow once more for the majority of their runs. 5pts RCB to beat Hyderabad 4/5 bet365 1pt Bairstow top Hyderabad batsman 4/1 paddypower 1pt ABDV - Man Of The Match 8/1 paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Nice and simple for today. I'll be taking Delhi Capitals to beat The Royals. Delhi looked really good in their first match, with a 7 wicket win. I feel like Raja rely on Samson pretty heavily and although they have Jos Buttler, also, he is prone to go early. Where as, if Delhi lost Dhawan and Smith early, you'd feel like the likes of Pant, Shaw and Rahane would still do a job to get them over the line. 5.5pts Delhi Capitals to beat Raja Royals 8/11 betfred IPL -8pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fader Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Bowling from primary school does the job for Raja. I have to admit, I think I'm once again done with IPL. I just don't see it as a profitable market. I feel like it's betting on heads or tails and so I'm unlikely to bet much on it much more and hope for RCB to do the business.

Stupid decision making from Delhi in not bowling Ashwin for his 4th over, when lack of pace was the way to go. Stoinis bowled 1 over for 15 and Curran's last over was a shambles. He bowled a back of the hand slow ball that bounced 2/5th's of the way down the pitch. Just nonsense regarding dew on the ball for the last 4 overs, because they got a used dry ball 5 times (after every huge towering 6).

neilovan Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Money to be made in IPL with strong patterns. 11 games played so far. Venue Chidambaran . Team batting first has won 5/6 games played. At venue Wankhede stadium. Team batting second has won 4 of 5 games. Tomorrow game is at Wankhede (CSK v RR) . So for some reason team batting first has a big advantage. Two teams that are quite even, but I feel that Miller and Morris are finding their form and could well win another game for the Royals. Team batting first should be favorites, but need to wait for the toss. Not betting huge here. I would be betting inplay here, hoping for the team batting first to get off to a good start, and then backing them. 6 overs should be enough for a strong indication.

Means you end up having to go for bigger odds selections, which in the long-run probably doesn't make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 We're at the Play-Off stage now then and the first qualifier will be Delhi Capitals taking on Chennai Super Kings. Winner of this match makes the final, which will be played on Friday. I really like the Delhi Capitals and I think that defeat to my pre-tournament pick RCB may have helped them re-focus. The bookies can't split them but I think over the course of the season Delhi have been the best team and I expect that to shine through here. 5.5pts Delhi Capitals to beat CSK 10/11 bet365 vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Well somebody decided it was a good idea to give Curran the final over CSK make the final and Delhi will play the winner of today's elimination match. Today RCB take on Kolkata Knight Riders and I'm going to stick with my pre tournament pick, RCB. Maxwell has been inspired in this event and despite Kohli not really living up to expectation recently, I would like to think that with so many good options, somebody will shine today. 5pts RCB to beat Kolkata KR 4/5 bet365 1pt Maxwell Man Of The Match 8/1 paddypower vikki37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
