Bihar Election:Betting syndicates project BJP as front runner in Bihar

After Amit Shah Punters reposes confidence in BJP numbers in ensuing Bihar election

Though the first phase polling in Bihar assembly election has shattered the confidence of NDA alliance to some extent, the betting world still believes that Prime Minister Narendra Modi led NDA will emerge as front runner in Bihar election.

The BJP may have done permutation-combination while deciding the alliance partners and allocating seats to them to contest, but punters and bookies still have full faith in NDA.  This faith in Modi was first visible, when Modi started campaigning for the Lok Sabha election in 2014 and still continue.

It could be evident by just giving a cursory look in the table given below. On October 13 punters were betting for 150 seats in which lion share belonged to the BJP with 112 seats. On the other hand Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) got only 44 seats and its new found ally the RJD was getting bets for only 28 seats. Interestingly the telly of BJP is rising in the world of betting daily.

JD(U)                    42               44                  42               44

RJD                       26               28                   27               29

“Betting in this method is entirely different from that of another method, where parties get a particular value and if predictions of punters come true, he gets ten times the money, he had betted.  Here, in this method, if a punter today put, suppose Rs 1000 on ‘no’ of NDA, it means he is predicting less than 148 seats for NDA in final tally of assembly result. If it comes less than 148 seats, it means he will get Rs 2000after the result declaration,” said a source, who does not want to reveal his identity as betting in any form is illegal in India.

“It is not correct to say that seats allotted in punters’ world to parties or alliance get reflected in final result of Election Commission,” said another punter who use to bet in almost all form of betting, be it election or cricket betting. Last time in Delhi Assembly election, Aam Aadmi Party started with 20 seats and went up to 34 seats for betting game. The result is known to everyone. Aam Admi Party was winner in Delhi with zooming 67 seats.

The present trend of seats for parties may get change after the second phase of polling. The gambling world has got its own network spread across one corner of India to another corner. The punters and bookies have their own method of calculations. Based of which predictions of each party comes and get known to each interested player by 12 o clock every day. In fact gambling world starts betting from afternoon and it goes on till mid night.

“NCR has many centre through which this network of betting works,” said a source. While assuring, he further said “Your money will be in safe hands till the declaration of final results of election. If you win your wining amount will reach to you it is the guarantee.”
