They have ACU for that but they are not police or intelligence. They cant tape players phone. they dont have that power. BCCI organize and manage cricket' date=' they are not govt. or vigilence agency. Gvt. should create a vigilence agency to look for corruption in sports.[/quote'] They can always hire private parties to do a check , have enough money in bank. Its not about whether they have power or not , its about whether they want a clean IPL. My concern here is whether BCCI is really interested in running a clean league rather than only getting profits out of it. [Not sure whther they run this like a game or business]

The police have been monitoring them for 2 months and they have been able to get evidence only against 3. I doubt it is very wide spread unless the police decided to leave some players out.
Look. Police accidentally came across this fixing when they were tapping one of the bookies. This doesn't mean that there are no other bookies fixed different sets of players.

What is ACU then? Isnt this consisted of private people who are paid huge for their job. ACU chief is former Mumbai police commissioner. Regarding clean league, there is nothing clean in life. Corrupt people are everywhere. If inquired, even you might not come out clean. These things will always. There is no real cute of it. They have an anti corruption unit headed by former police commisioner Ravi Sayani is enough proof that they want to keep it clean. We have all the laws, police, CBI, IB, but have it been able to stop the crime, no. Good and bad are two sides of a coin.

I don't understand when people propose legalizing betting as a miracle solution fixing. There is no way these two issues are connected. Even if betting I'd legalized, most of the betting happens illegally and tracking is no easier than is is today.

Legalizing betting is not solution . Fixing happened in Eng-Pak test series and county, both which were played in UK, even though Betting is legal there. Secondly what if they continue running fixing and betting business illegally ?

How can legalising betting will stop SPOT FIXING? Say if you's legalised the betting, would the Betting Shops offer odds of any bowler going for 14 runs or more in any particular over?

Defends on who controls them. There are multiple gangs , Dawood , Chota rajan etc.

BCCI is no law enforcing authority and it is impossible to completely eradicate the greed of an individual. Best they can do is work with law making authorities to bring a legislation to give exemplary punishment to those who caught. Fear psychosis may bring down the no of cases, if not completely eliminate it.

So you are asking them to do illegal things. No private agency is authorized to do this like tapping phones. Its not like BCCI will be happy with fixing. It will only malign their reputation and give gvt. more reasons to take over which will completely destroy cricket like it happens with other sports.

Most people do not know how betting happens in India.So they feel legalizing betting will solve the issues.No way.
It may not but it will help organizing it better. Fixing may still happen because it is more individual thing and its impossible to watch every player.

UK has been unable to stop fixing even though betting is legal there. Why give Dawood and his gang to run monopolistic betting business legally and threaten the young cricketers as reported to perform as per the bets placed with them. Do you think Dawood wilth all his influence in India will allow clean business men to become his competitors.He will get rid easily of them by just one phone call.And why should more Indian money go to Dawood?He will screw our country with our money only.

I don't think using Private agencies is illegal , what private agencies do is not BCCI business. As a custodian of game in this country , its BCCI job to save the game , even if it means bend the rules. Whom else we should blame then ? players alone?

UK is much more controlled than India. As for your second point that's exactly the kind of thing legalizing will prevent. Because then you will have to keep records. So any kind of huge bets placed on some random event will be thoroughly scrutinized and most of the time those bets won't even get money. So the scenario you mentioned will not happen in a legal setup

Betting on racecourse is legal in india but how much if betting happens legally? Huge amount of black money is traded illegally on racecourse and fixing horses is common. Why do you think it will be any different for cricket?
