Live Bid Predictions and Strategies

KKR targets all-rounders (Green mock ₹30 Cr); CSK spin (Chahar ₹10 Cr mock). SRH batting finishers, LSG rebuilds 19 slots.

Shocking pick potential: Domestic leggie to ₹8 Cr like Bishnoi mock. Unsold stars (₹2 Cr base) drop to ₹50 lakh—value for Tenexch futures.

2024 moment: Cummins bid war—SRH odds lengthened 15% instantly, then shortened post-win. Live cricket betting mirrors this bid frenzy.

Tenexch Betting Tips: Live Auction Markets

Safe plays:

  • KKR total spend over ₹55 Cr (purse math).

  • Uncapped Indian over ₹2 Cr (Bishnoi precedent).
