| Open Question: Seedy World of the Indian Bookies!!!!!!!!!? |
Illegal cricket betting in India is a shady and secretive affair. It's all done by telephone - often mobiles - to lessen the risks. Bookies who answer have little time for pleasantries during the game's frenzy. They simply relay the odds. Typically they might be 75/100 on a win. Meaningless to the uninitiated, and anyone else who might be eavesdropping. Even the sums staked have codes: one peti the shorthand for 100,000 rupees. And punters use a recognised codename to register the bet. It takes only a few seconds before the line goes dead.

And punters use a recognised codename to register the bet. It takes only a few seconds before the line goes dead.
Winnings, or losses, are totted up and settled later in cash. Few on either side welsh on the deal. It's all done on trust. Which is ironic for an industry awash with allegations of match-fixing and bribery. Hansie Cronje and his team-mates are the latest to fall under suspicion of involvement with Indian bookies. The betting blizzard of £16m that greets India's biggest one-day fixtures makes the temptation toinfluence the outcome irresistible. Especially for big operators with hot-lines to an expatriate Mafia sheltering in Dubai.
Most, though, are small outfits operating in seedy back-streets like Delhi's Paharganj district. A warren of narrow streets crowded with cheap backpackers' hotels, it is perfect cover for illegal bookies. Clerks man banks of phones. Televisions carry matches live on satellite. But such unprepossessing settings mask a sharpness. "These guys have brains like computers," said one awed punter. "They work out odds and positions in a split-second."
New clients must win the bookie's trust. It's a slow process. Friends of established gamblers introduce new punters. Bets are accepted for the first three or four months with the person who made the introduction acting as guarantor. Not that problems occur often. "With the underworld involved, these guys get physical if you don't pay-up," said one Delhi sports editor. "It's a dangerous business."
Perhaps more difficult than paying up is keeping up with the fiendishly complex odds. Rates might start at 75/100, where Rs100 correctly placed on, say, India winning, would bring a return of Rs75.Crucially, though, the odds can fluctuate as the game progresses. Odds can vary wildly as much as 70 or 80 times a game. "Cricket betting is like eight hours of non-stop sex," said one Bangalore bookie, who takes up to 2,000 calls during a game. Punters place seven or eight bets throughout the match to increase winnings, or, more likely, mitigate losses. "The essential difference between betting on the race course and cricket betting is that if the horse has lost you lose your money. But in cricket you have a chance of recovering your money until the last ball."
For punter and bookie alike it can be helter-skelter ride. "I personally prefer horse racing because the risks in cricket are too great," said one bookie. "You might have done everything right as a bookie, but your outstandings [debts] kill you."
Literally, it seems. Bangalore bookies settle up within 24 hours, but punters run on credit waiting for the next game to make up losses. Delhi, by contrast, has a tradition of next-day settlements, while Bombay sets apart a day weekly to square the books. Despite the Mafia's watchful eye, outstanding bets are sometimes so huge that bookies go under. At least two dozen have gone bust in the last few years two years and half a dozen committed suicide.
Pointers to pitch condition and the wicket are crucial to fixing the odds. Pradeep Magazine, cricket writer for the Indian Express, was offered an £80,000 south Delhi apartment to introduce a bookie to touringIndian team members. "The entire thing is illegal, so they have to get this information to set their odds somewhere. The bookie who approached me wanted information on the wicket and anything I could tell him as the match progressed."
Manoj Prabhakar, a former Indian swing bowler and opening batsman, has been pushing for a clean-up. He rocked the Indian cricketing establishment when he revealed that he was offered £40,000 by two team-mates to "play below par" at the 1994 Singer Cup in Sri Lanka. He fears match-fixing will have a disastrous outcome. "With the Mafia involved, it's a dangerous business and someone's going to get killed."

| Open Question: Palpitations or an anxiety disorder? I can hear my heart when I go to bed.? |
I will get right into the point.
I am a 17 year old guy and from what I read online I am suffering from palpitations or an anxiety disorder when I go to bed. Let me explain. When I go to sleep I hear my hear beating. It is a normal steady beat; but it is loud and produces vibrations. It's a feeling everyone gets when they are nervous; you know, your heart beats out of your chest? Well I am nervous when I go to bed which is why it happens. Every night I am nervous that I will not fall asleep and as a result will have a bad day at school. I end up listening to my heart beat all night long and inevitably I don't sleep. Obviously I try to stray my thoughts away from the heartbeat, but they always seem to linger back to it. Interestingly enough, some months I sleep like a baby, and others, the "bad" months, I cannot sleep for days! This is debilitating due to the fact that I am tired everyday for my high school sports team and it's difficult to study when you are going on no sleep - for days. As a result I have heavy rings under my eyes, which do not look that sexy I will say ;].
I exercise 4 times a week and lead a pretty active lifestyle, so in that department I am set. On my "good" months I can drink coffee and other caffeinated drinks all day and still sleep like a baby. On my bad ones I avoid caffeine entirely and still cannot fall asleep. It's obviously a psychological problem; I am nervous to sleep due to me being scared that I will not fall asleep. It's truly a vicious cycle. I am aware that melatonin and magnesium and lavender tea help relax the body but not for me. I have tried breathing exercises but they rarely help.
Honestly, it sucks being scared of not falling asleep. It sounds absurd and it is. Living on zero sleep is no joke and I would like to terminate this retarded anxiety as soon as possible. I wish I could ignore these thoughts of not sleeping but they just overcome my mind. I am these are many people with this problem but I cannot find the exact term for it. Neither did I find any medications that help with it. Speaking of medications - if anyone can recommend me any I would prefer for them to be as side effect free as possible. From what I know some medications lead to worse diseases than those they treat! Before you know you might develop chronic insomnia from an anxiety medication, ha!
I'm just babbling now, but if anyone, preferably a doctor ;), has any advice, please let me know! I want to overcome this f*cked up, pardon my French, sleep disorder.
Thanks |

| Open Question: Will Wenger get fired the day when Cesc leaves ? |
"He only thinks in blaugrana and he has started his own countdown until he’s back in Camp Nou.
His relationship with Wenger is colder and they already had the first frictions.
He knows that Guardiola will not sign a player to play in his position, which is only for him."
these all are in Sport mag . I think he's coming closer .
@K.Patel
How stupid are your statements , you know all of you will be a failure when it comes to play against Barcelona . zip your big mouth |

| Open Question: Top 10 Eastern European Boxers from the day the gates of Professional Boxing opened for them (1995) until now? |
It has been 15 years from the day the gates of Professional Boxing opened for a group of people (over 400 million of people,i hope some people in this forum can understand the importance of this for almost half billion of people who did not even had the same chances with the rest of the western world) who were excluded for over 100 years from the professional world of sports (even though totally dominant at the Olympics)
Anyways my top 10 :
Wladimir Klitschko
Vitali Klitschko
Vassiliy Jirov
Tomasz Adamek
Lucian Bute
Vic Darchinyan
Serhiy Dzinziruk
Dmitry Pirog
Viacheslav Senchenko
Gennady Golovkin
I did not mention the 2 legends Kostya Tszyu and Dariusz Michalczewski , or even Arthur Abraham cause all of them represented a western country and not a former communist Eastern European nation. |

| Open Question: Math Problem: Pls help to solve. ASAP. Thanks.? |
There were consolation prizes for those who would not win in the sport fest competition. The organizers prepared 49 candies for children and 84 fruits for the adults. They needed to place these goodies in a small paper bag. What was the greatest number of items that could be put inside without mixing the prize for the adults and the children? |
