However, bookies are doubly pleased as the maestro's next stop is Eden Gardens five days from now. And bets will keep piling up till then. But, before that, Big B's yet-to-be born grandchild is expected to take centre stage. "Over Rs 150 crore is riding on whether Aishwarya Rai will deliver the child on 11. 11. 11 or on Children's Day, the day the Eden Test match kicks off. This despite the fact that Abhishek Bachchan has made it clear that wife Aishwarya is not going for a Caesarean operation,'' said a bookie.
Police are keeping vigil on the betting scene for the two mega events. "We are aware there is also heavy betting on whether the actress will deliver a boy or girl. This is unfortunate scenario and shows how we are still obsessed with a male child,'' said a police officer.
The master blaster, though, can take heart. Though it's still five days to go, punters are already placing odds on him achieving the feat at Kolkata. "Sachin seems to be in great form. It will be good if he gets his ton on his home turf, Mumbai, during the third test. His century will help us rake in crores,'' said the bookie.
The betting mafia is pumping in crores to predict the sex of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's unborn child. The news doing the rounds is that bookies are trying to contact the actress' doctor to know the gender of the unborn child.
The Bacchan family has issued several statements in the past to clear the air making it amply clear they do not want to be part of any speculation."The highest bets are coming in for 11. 11. 11 as all astrologers are declaring it to be a very auspicious day. There are enough bets placed for Children's Day too,'' the bookie said. For a Bollywood and cricket obsessed nation, nothing can get better this week.
