IPL Betting Bonanza Kicks Off As Season Opens In Mumbai

There's not much time to get your IPL betting sorted out before the first match of the 11th season gets underway at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, and with plenty of cricketing superstars in the ranks of the eight franchises vying for the title it's going to be an interesting couple of months, but if you're going to take advantage of Indian gambling laws to bet on the opener, should you back the Mumbai Indians or the Chennai Super Kings? We take a look.

Having won last season (by one run against Rising Pune Supergiants to snatch their third title like the jammiest winner in a casino in India ever) the Mumbai Indians are back again and they'll be looking to set the tone for the rest of the season leveraging their experience. If you're going to do some IPL betting you could do far worse than backing Rohit Sharma and co, those that do the online gambling in India thing will find they're temptingly 9/2 to take the title, and 8/11 to win against the Chennai Super Kings.

Chennai are not as heavily favored to be a title contender this year, they garner barely 7/1 odds at best to take the series win, and just 6/5 to win on the weekend, probably reflecting this being their first season back after a two year suspension after the spot fixing scandal. Now any half drunk loony sat in a poker room in India will tell you this means they've something to prove, but honestly if you're going to do some IPL betting this weekend, stick to Mumbai, it'll be steady play not desperation that wins.
