What is India Satta Matka?

Indian Matka is a kind of gambling that has been active for some time. Satta is called gambling, and Matka is called a pot (Pots were used to draw numbers).

The genesis of India Matka

Ratan Khatri happened to be the father of the Matka Game in India. He is even called Matka King. After the New York Cotton Exchange ended the tradition of providing closing and opening prices of cotton in 1961, Khatri launched his version of the game. He brought in the practice of announcing the opening and closing rates of imaginary products. Numbered Chits were kept in an earthen pot (or Matka) to be drawn to proclaim results. A person would pick a drawn chit and announce the numbers. This kind of Matka game attained a lot of popularity in Mumbai among textile mill workers.

How it is played?

In India, the Matka game is usually played via drawing three cards from a deck. Players must choose three numbers from 0 to 9. If the selected numbers can be turned into a two-digit number by addition, then the last of the two digits is factored in for the output. For example, if a player selects 5, 6, and 8, which via addition comes to 19, then 9 happens to be the last output number. Making the draw 5, 6, 8 *9. In the same vein, the second set of three numbers are selected from 0 to 9, e.g. 3, 8, and 7, which bring the total to 18 and make the draw 3, 8, 7 *8.

The final card for the player will be:

5, 6, 8 *9 x 3, 8, 7 *8

All the bets get placed before the draw. Players have the option of hedging a bet on the whole set of numbers, the first number, the second number, or a combination of numbers allowed by the bookies.
