Why do cricket lovers always have a secondary status in our country, which considers cricket as religion. Cricket lover sometimes dies in the crowd of stadium and sometimes standing in line to watch the match. Every year, crores of rupees are lost in the game of making teams in the match. Yesterday, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the match after 18 years. He received Rs 20 crore as a reward and while Punjab Kings got Rs 12 and a half crore despite losing. But according to an estimate, crores of people of the country lost 4 thousand 400 crores yesterday.

Crores of people lost

The IPL was a great manner, that’s why crores of people took part in the online fantasy sports match. But except 2-3 people, more than 35 crore people did not get any tropy of victory. He is only disappointed, he is frustrated and cursing his fate. But do you know what you are playing is not a game of luck. Do not be surprised, today we are analyzing this strange game of betting.

‘The Great Indian Fantasy Sports Combat’

The 22 -yard pitch in Ahmedabad had a contest between 22 players from Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings. But there was also a fight between more than 35 crore players outside the stadium. This was ‘The Great Indian Fantasy Sports Combat’ which was going on for the last 2 months. This match, which is rich overnight, has been going on for the last 17 years. But in this ring of sports, it is decided to defeat the players every year and win the ringmaster.

Do you know how many crores of rupees do the companies who have earned online fantasy sports in this annual 2 -month celebration of cricket. Now look at the figure we are going to show very carefully. According to a research, a person spends an average of Rs 127 in every IPL match. There were a total of 74 matches during the IPL this year. That is, a person spent 9 thousand 398 rupees during the entire IPL.

Based on the reports of companies making fantasy sports, more than 35 crore people try to form a team through fantasy sports during the IPL. That is, in the last 2 months, companies who have done fantasy sports in the last 2 months earned more than Rs 3 lakh 28 thousand crore. But what did the teams formed the team got? Only Chillar. Actually, the dream of becoming a millionaire without hard work is often broken.

Of the 35 crore people, only 2-3 are of luck that can win a large amount. Despite this, this game is not called a game of luck. Rather it has been described as a game of intelligence. Actually, betting has been seen as a game of luck in our law. That is why betting and gambling is considered a crime. But fantasy sports have been considered legal by calling it a game of intelligence. Whereas the truth is that this game of intellect is a game of luck.

Supreme Court expressed concern

The Supreme Court had expressed concern about the betting in IPL last month. During the hearing, it was given that in the last few years, 1023 people committed suicide due to fantasy sports competition and betting in Telangana.

The Madras High Court has justified the decision to stop playing online real money games from 12 noon to 5 am and giving a certificate of playing more than 18 years of age. About 50 people committed suicide after losing money in online gaming in Tamil Nadu. Betting, which is a game of luck, has taken advantage of the shortcomings of strict laws and has been made a valid business of billions on the basis of advertisements by stating the game of intelligence, skill. According to Meta, more than 1 thousand ((1,040)) advertisements are shown to promote fantasy sports platforms on social media. That is why any fantasy is trapped in this trap of game. Now think what will you do if you do not have millions of rupees? Will borrow and even after that if you lose, what will you do? That is why our question is, how did this game of luck become a game of intellect?

According to reports, today there is more than 300 online fantasy sports platforms in the country and it is believed that the number of people registered on it will be more than 50 crores in the next 5 years. Currently, about 34 percent of the country’s population is playing this game. In this, we have not included children under 18 years of age, for whom fantasy sports are not legal. Now if betting is added to it, then the figure can increase considerably. Apart from the fantasy sports match, the betting market in India is more than 8 lakh crores and according to an estimate, the government is losing more than 2 lakh crores every year.

Many fantasy sports platforms have also been facing serious allegations like registering minor children, making quietly payment in crypto. That is why you also keep an eye on your children. See, they are not playing the game of betting in the name of watching pocket money or work given for work.

It used to say that cricket is a Gentleman game, but now cricket has become a quick game. In which cricketers are also auctioned and cricketers also become rich and famous. Cricket lovers also want to be rich immediately and in this hope, they play a game of wisdom for 2 consecutive months. Work hard 400-500 hours. But in the end there is disappointment. The noise of the advertisement, the appeal of big stars enchanted people to win crores of rupees and the lack of strict law prepares a strong pitch to promote online betting. But the money is yours, that’s why you have to decide,
