Satta Matka
Gambling Matka (Satta Matka) is an analogy of lottery games with guessing numbers. This game appeared in India and immediately gained popularity in many countries around the world. It is so called because the player needs to place bets in a matka or clay pot - an old tradition dating back to Indian independence.
A Brief History of Matka Games
This game dates back to the distant 50s of the 20th century, at a time when bets were made on the opening and closing rates of the cotton trade. This cotton was imported from New York to Bobay. But this system was abolished due to the fact that the New York Cotton Exchange stopped this practice 10 years later.
In this regard, R. Khatri, who was nicknamed the king of queens, created a new type of gambling, which was based on bets on random numbers. The point of the game was that 3 numbers were drawn from a clay pot containing plates. Thus, it turned into a big gamble for many people who liked the principle of the lottery.
What is the principle of Matka games?
The main idea of the game Satta Matta Matka is to place bets on any numbers in a random order. Players must select 3 numbers from 0 to 9, and then add them - the last number of this sum will be applied together with the selected three numbers from which the sum was obtained - thus a new combination of numbers will be formed. For example, the player chose the numbers 2, 5 and 7: their sum will be 14, which means the set of numbers will be 2, 5, 7 and 4. And this process will be repeated again to form the next combination of numbers. Then all the numbers are drawn and the winning set of numbers is announced.
Terminology used in the game
In order to freely navigate the game, you need to carefully study its terminology. Let's list the basic terms for the game Satta Matka:
- womb – meaning a clay pot from which winning numbers were drawn;
- single – one number from 0 to 9 on which the bet will be placed;
- pair (or jodi) – two numbers from 00 to 99, also for betting;
- panna (or patti) – a 3-digit result that resulted from a bet;
- opening / closing – the initial bets are divided into 2 parts: open result / closed result;
- patti cycle – the last 2 numbers of patti (for example, if patti is 256, then the patti cycle is 56);
- single, double and triple patti - 3 numbers are different, 2 numbers are the same out of three, all 3 numbers are the same (for example, 235, 337, 444 respectively);
