<br>It is the last over of the cricket match, with India needing 17 go to win versus Australia.<br>
<br>In his two-bedroom home located in main Mumbai, a middle-aged man is seeing the video game, nervously. He's resting on the edge of his grey colour couch with his smart phone glued to his right hand.<br>
<br>He has made more than 10 hire the last 30 minutes - not to discuss the match but to keep revising his bet.<br>
<br>Five minutes earlier his cash was on Australia, today as the Indian batsman prepares to deal with the last over he's changed his mind.<br>
<br>"I believe India is winning, make the modification," he informs his bookie on the phone.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>And a couple of minutes later his forecast becomes a reality, as India wins the match in a nail-biting surface.<br>
<br>"I have actually made $200 today," he states with a childlike glee.<br>
<br>For more than three years he's been banking on cricket matches. We can't expose his name as what he's doing is unlawful in India.<br>
<br>Aside from horse racing, [sports betting](https://social.oneworldonesai.com/read-blog/1754_how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html) [wagering](https://mgnm.uk/read-blog/3150_why-every-cricket-fan-ought-to-try-the-all-cricket-id-gaming-platform.html) of any kind is not allowed India.

<br>'Black money'<br>
<br>According to the Doha-based International Centre for [sports betting](http://experienciacortazar.com.ar/wiki/index.php?title=Usuario:RamonWrixon34) Security, India's prohibited [sports betting](https://chatkc.com/read-blog/488_just-how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) wagering market deserves some $150bn a year. And much of that [sports betting](https://dev.fleeped.com/read-blog/92_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) money is directed towards cricket.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>Without any legal avenue, punters place bets using their phones by making calls to bookies. [Gamblers](https://sfqatest.sociofans.com/read-blog/674_how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) can bet on anything associated to the cricket match, from who is winning to the greatest individual run scorer.<br>
<br>Most of these [deals involve](https://links.gtanet.com.br/oihcaren212) [so-called](http://woorichat.com/read-blog/10319_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) "black money", which is cash not declared to the taxman.<br>
<br>The 1867 Public Gambling Act bars any sort of gaming in India, but unlike in the US which has a law restricting internet [sports betting](https://oeclub.org/index.php/User:AshlyClymer6), there is nothing comparable here.<br>
<br>And offshore wagering business are using this loophole to draw Indians. Despite the fact that there are no online [sports betting](https://doum.cn/read-blog/1927_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) operators based out of India, a lot individuals have actually signed up accounts with overseas firms.<br>
<br>"Legally you can escape [with this], as the law is unclear for online gambling," states Mumbai- based attorney HP Ranina.<br>
<br>But in spite of this, it is "offline gaming", done through phone calls which dominate the market.<br>
<br>Calls for legalisation<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>The clamour to legalise [sports betting](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:SaraP4853583338) in cricket has actually grown after a panel appointed by India's Supreme Court proposed the concept, stating it would assist clamp down on corruption in the country's favourite sport.<br>
<br>The Justice RM Lodha Commission was set up to recommend modifications in the functioning of India's cricket [regulatory](https://cheere.org/read-blog/36302_things-you-need-to-understand-about-rafting-adventures.html) body, the Board of Control for [Cricket](https://zamhi.net/read-blog/15_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) in India (BCCI), after the 2013 Indian Premier League wagering scandal came to light.<br>
<br>Two franchises have been banned for two years after some gamers and group [officials](https://wow.twinear.com/read-blog/1003_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) were found guilty of fixing parts of the match at the of [bookies](https://socialsmerch.com/read-blog/10534_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-us-after-sports-wager-ruling.html).<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>The panel also argues that legalised [sports betting](https://flowsocial.xyz/read-blog/577_the-history-of-the-nfl-and-how-to-bet-on-it.html) will generate tax revenues for the exchequer that could total up to $2bn a year.<br>
<br>Even bettors feel that legalising [sports betting](http://www.vmeste-so-vsemi.ru/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:AnibalGlockner) wagering is a move in the best direction.<br>
<br>"I do not mind paying some money out my earnings, as long as I can gamble openly," states our cricket gambler.<br>
<br>It would also open a big organization opportunity for certified bookmakers and international online [sports betting](https://ifairy.world/read-blog/1355_the-history-of-the-nfl-and-how-to-bet-on-it.html) business to establish operations in India.<br>
<br>And it would assist restrict match repairing in cricket and other [sports betting](https://genzkenya.co.ke/read-blog/85_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html), argue numerous, by assisting make transactions associated with [sports betting](http://1600-6765.com/board_fyUJ95/176750) more [transparent](https://sabiile.com/read-blog/2140_sport-betting-industry-seeks-to-protect-itself.html).<br>
<br>"If you work together with wagering companies, you will have an extremely efficient technique of marking out match fixing," says George Oborne, who runs a mock wagering website, India Bet.<br>
<br>But numerous also think, that the taxes levied on the gambler and the bookie will have to be sensible to make it attractive enough for them to gamble lawfully.<br>
<br>However, there are constraints.<br>
<br>"Definitely there will be illegal wagering since (some) individuals would not want to leave an audit path by going into the white market," says Mr Oborne.<br>
<br>He includes that people who utilize unaccounted money to position huge bets will never ever gamble legally.<br>
<br>Approval question<br>
<br>For [sports betting](https://truthbook.social/read-blog/8423_missouri-sports-betting-ballot-measure-approved-by-voters.html) gambling to be legalised, parliamentary approval will be required to create a new law, and politically this will be a hard concept to sell.<br>
<br>"Although numerous individuals are associated with some sort of [sports betting](https://grade1d.smaportal.ae/read-blog/2406_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) - it's still a controversial issue for many," says our unnamed punter.<br>
<br>And provided that India has a federal structural - each state will have to likewise pass a different law to legalise [sports betting](https://naijamatta.com/read-blog/34910_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) in their territory.<br>
<br>"The procedure is so long and difficult that it will take years," says Mr Ranina."That's why, we are negative about this ending up being a reality anytime quickly."<br>
<br>Yet with the concept having been endorsed by a main panel for the very first time, a minimum of a dispute has actually ignited around a topic - which till now was thought about a taboo.<br>
