“Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and
greed” - Bhagavad Gita
Last week I wrote
about the people accused of cheating and destroying the sports for their
personal greed. My last blog was mainly on Football. There is no doubt
that football a sport that is more close to my heart but as an Indian once I was
madly attached with the cricket. However, turn of events over the years the
madness died down and main culprit is a demon name BCCI who is killing
it. Betting and fixing are the hot topics in the cricket for recent past and
mainly during IPL. Betting is illegal in our country and I don’t know how it
will help even it is legal. Betting and fixing more and more coming into the
games since shorter form came to the picture.
I feel “the Fixer” of any games should be treated as any petty
criminal. These are the few incident and people who involved in the betting
or fixing while playing the game.

Five uncapped
Indian players Mohnish Mishra, Shalabh Srivastava, T P
Sudhindra, Amit Yadav and Abhinav Bali was suspened from IPL in the wake of a television sting operation
which claimed to have exposed corruption in the cash-rich IPL.
2013
Current version of
IPL was most controversial. Cricketers, bookies, an IPL team owner, a small time actor and an umpire linked to
the fixing scandal. Three crickerts form
Rajasthan Royals team, Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and
Ankeet Chavan, was arrested on the charges of spot-fixing. A numbers of
bookies too arrested from different cities and it followed by the arrest of a
small time actor Vindoo Dara Singh and Gurunath CEO of CSK team. Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf
became the another casualty of this sordid saga.
!!!Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts
the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching
satisfaction.!!!
