If you are new to the Indian Premier League then allow us to explain in a nutshell what it’s all about. The Indian Premier League is a brand new Twenty20 cricket tournament launched in April 2008 and should not be confused with the proposed Champions Twenty20 tournament. The league was created by the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and has been sanctioned by the ICC (International Cricket Council). What makes the Indian Premier League so unique is the fact that players all over the globe are bought and sold like soccer players in the Premier League in England, rather than automatically playing for their home nation.
The IPL, which started on 18 April, plays 59 games over 44 days. The Indian Premier League winners will take home US$2 million, and a further US$3 million will be distributed in the form of secondary prizes.
Apart from the vast amounts of money that players can win, the IPL presents cricket bettors with many opportunities to make a profit of their own. Click on the Cricket Betting tab for a full discussion of the ones likely to be of most interest.
Visitors in the UK may also be interested in reading about the possibility of an English Premier League being introduced in the future. If so, simply visit our EPL page and keep an eye on the proposed Twenty20 for 20 competition by Sir Allen Stanford
We have left no stone unturned in our task of bringing you the best IPL betting information you can get your hands on, so we hope you enjoy your stay and that you have the very best of luck with your cricket betting.
