Uncertainty associated with the game could make the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) new SMS game 6UP an exercise in gambling

Contributed by Deepak Miglani
Game 6 UP offers a minimum prize of Rs10,000 for someone who can guess the sequence in which runs will be scored off the six balls of an over, couldn’t immediately be ascertained. Participants pay Rs5 for the SMS, the par for such contests, and some of this revenue goes to IPL through a revenue share agreement with telcos. The game is powered by iPlayUP, an Australian mobile business generation company.
This game is purely a betting game. In bet we do not have to do nothing, does not involve the skill and we depend on chance. In this game also does not involve the skill. Whether guessing involve skill or not depends on the circumstance in different situation . Some body say that it involve the viewer skill to prediction based upon weather condition, players capability to play ,sequence order and pitch condition etc. So Guessing the sequence in which runs will be scored is purely based on chance. This is purely a gamble of Rs 5 per sms for Rs 10000 which a gambler pay to telecompanies. IPL has some share in this Rs 5 through revenue sharing agreement with telecompanies. This game is a big online gambling.
