It is the last over of the cricket match, with India requiring 17 runs to win against Australia.


In his two-bedroom house situated in main Mumbai, a middle-aged male is enjoying the video game, nervously. He's sitting on the edge of his grey colour couch with his smart phone glued to his right-hand man.


He has actually made more than 10 calls in the last 30 minutes - not to talk about the match however to keep modifying his bet.


Five minutes earlier his money was on Australia, however now as the Indian batsman prepares to deal with the last over he's altered his mind.


"I believe India is winning, make the modification," he tells his bookmaker on the phone.


And a couple of minutes later on his prediction comes to life, as India wins the match in a nail-biting surface.


"I have made $200 today," he states with a childish glee.


For more than three decades he's been banking on cricket matches. We can't reveal his name as what he's doing is illegal in India.


Aside from horse racing, sports betting of any kind is not permitted in India. Despite that, prohibited sports betting syndicates grow in the country.


'Black money'


According to the Doha-based International Centre for sports betting Security, India's prohibited sports betting wagering market deserves some $150bn a year. And much of that gambling cash is directed towards cricket.


With no legal avenue, punters place bets using their phones by making calls to bookies. Gamblers can bet on anything associated to the cricket match, from who is winning to the highest private run scorer.


The majority of these transactions include so-called "black money", which is cash not stated to the taxman.


The 1867 Public Gambling Act bars any sort of sports betting in India, but unlike in the US which has a law forbiding web sports betting, there is nothing similar here.


And overseas sports betting companies are utilizing this loophole to lure Indians. Despite the fact that there are no online wagering operators based out of India, a lot people have signed up accounts with offshore companies.

The panel likewise argues that legalised sports betting will bring in tax revenues for the exchequer that could total up to $2bn a year.


Even bettors feel that legalising sports betting wagering is a move in the ideal instructions.


"I don't mind paying some money out my revenues, as long as I can gamble publicly," says our cricket gambler.

"If you work alongside sports betting business, you will have a very reliable method of stamping out match fixing," says George Oborne, who runs a mock sports betting website, India Bet.


But lots of likewise think, that the taxes levied on the bettor and the bookmaker will need to be sensible to make it attractive enough for them to gamble legally.


However, there are limitations.

And considered that India has a federal structural - each state will have to also pass a separate law to legalise sports betting in their territory.


"The process is so long and tricky that it will take years," says Mr Ranina."That's why, we are negative about this becoming a reality anytime quickly."


Yet with the idea having actually been endorsed by an official panel for the first time, at least an argument has sparked around a subject - which up until now was considered a taboo.
