    It is the last over of the cricket match, with India needing 17 go to win against Australia.

    In his two-bedroom home located in central Mumbai, a middle-aged man is viewing the video game, nervously. He’s resting on the edge of his grey colour sofa with his smart phone glued to his right hand.

    He has made more than 10 employ the last 30 minutes – not to go over the match but to keep revising his bet.

    Five minutes earlier his money was on Australia, today as the Indian batsman prepares to face the last over he’s altered his mind.

    „I believe India is winning, make the change,“ he tells his bookmaker on the phone.

    And a few minutes later his prediction comes to life, as India wins the match in a nail-biting finish.

    „I have actually made $200 today,“ he says with a childlike glee.

    For more than three decades he’s been banking on cricket matches. We can’t expose his name as what he’s doing is prohibited in India.

    Other than horse racing, sports wagering of any kind is not permitted in India. Despite that, prohibited betting syndicates thrive in the nation.

    ‚Black money‘

    According to the Doha-based International Centre for Sports Security, India’s unlawful sports betting market deserves some $150bn a year. And much of that betting money is directed towards cricket.

    With no legal avenue, punters place bets utilizing their phones by making calls to bookmakers. Gamblers can bank on anything related to the cricket match, from who is winning to the highest specific run scorer.

    The majority of these deals involve so-called „black money“, which is cash not stated to the taxman.

    The 1867 Public Gambling Act bars any type of gaming in India, but unlike in the US which has a law forbiding web gaming, there is absolutely nothing comparable here.

    And overseas betting companies are using this loophole to entice Indians. Even though there are no online wagering operators based out of India, a lot individuals have actually signed up accounts with overseas companies.

    „Legally you can escape [with this], as the law is uncertain for online betting,“ says Mumbai- based legal representative HP Ranina.

    But regardless of this, it is „offline betting“, done through call which dominate the market.

    Calls for legalisation

    The clamour to legalise wagering in cricket has grown after a panel designated by India’s Supreme Court proposed the concept, saying it would assist clamp down on corruption in the nation’s preferred sport.

    The Justice RM Lodha Commission was set up to recommend modifications in the performance of India’s cricket regulative body, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), after the 2013 Indian Premier League betting scandal came to light.

    Two franchises have actually been banned for two years after some gamers and team authorities were condemned of fixing parts of the match at the request of bookmakers.

    The panel likewise argues that legalised betting will bring in tax incomes for the exchequer that might total up to $2bn a year.

    Even bettors feel that legalising sports wagering is a move in the right direction.

    „I do not mind paying some money out my revenues, as long as I can bet openly,“ states our cricket bettor.

    It would likewise open a big company chance for licensed bookies and global online betting companies to set up operations in India.

    And it would assist restrict match repairing in cricket and other sports, argue many, by helping make deals included in betting more transparent.

    „If you work together with betting business, you will have a really reliable technique of stamping out match repairing,“ states George Oborne, who runs a mock betting site, India Bet.

    But many also believe, that the taxes imposed on the gambler and the bookmaker will have to be affordable to make it attractive enough for them to gamble lawfully.

    However, there are limitations.

    „Definitely there will be illegal betting due to the fact that (some) individuals wouldn’t desire to leave an audit trail by entering the white market,“ states Mr Oborne.

    He includes that individuals who utilize unaccounted money to put big bets will never ever gamble lawfully.

    Approval question

    For sports gambling to be legalised, parliamentary approval will be needed to create a new law, and politically this will be a hard concept to sell.

    „Although many individuals are included in some sort of gambling – it’s still a controversial concern for numerous,“ states our unnamed punter.

    And considered that India has a federal structural – each state will have to likewise pass a separate law to legalise sports gambling in their territory.

    „The procedure is so long and tricky that it will take years,“ states Mr Ranina.“That’s why, we are cynical about this coming true anytime quickly.“

    Yet with the concept having been endorsed by a main panel for the first time, a minimum of an argument has actually ignited around a subject – which up until now was thought about a taboo.
