INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the idiom, "this just isn't cricket," refers to something awry or dishonorable.' The expression derives from the strict code of sportsmanship that gave cricket the badge of being the "gentlemen's sport." However, stemming from the increasingly immense popularity of Indian cricket throughout the last century, sports betting-an illegal pastime under India's gambling laws-has also become a huge industry. 2 Because punters3 often wager enormous sums of money, corruption within the sport of cricket, in the forms of match-fixing and spot- fixing,4 has become increasingly problematic.5 In response to this corruption, many Indians advocate for the legalization of gambling, including sports betting, arguing that legalization would remove the incentive to bet on the black market * Erin Gardner Schenk (J.D., 2014, University of Denver; B.B.A., 2005, University of Oklahoma) is grateful for the endowment of the Honorable Leonard v.B.
