Who does not want to become rich in the world? Remember, there is no shortcut to success, but there are people who believe in this fantasy. This prompts them to try out gambling and other forms of activities. One such gambling activity very popular in India and Pakistan is the Matka. It is also known as Satta Matka in local terminology.
The origins
There is a very odd explanation as to why this name Matka stuck to this gambling activity. Now, Satta is the right word for gambling. In this particular game, the winning numbers are plucked out from a pot. Now, a pot means Matka in Hindi. Hence, the name stuck, Satta Matka. It has become so popular that Matka has become a colloquial word for lottery in Hindi.
The situation in Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) in the 1960s was that of unrest among mill workers. There was a sense of anger simmering deep inside the self. It was at this time that a person by the name of Ratan Khatri started this game of gambling in Mumbai. The mill workers were poorly paid people. Hence, it was very easy to target them.
The pioneers
Along with another person by the name of Kalyanji Bhagat, Ratan Khatri has the credit for pioneering this gambling in Mumbai. The game was a simple one to understand and play. There is another variant of this Matka known as Kalyan Matka. In fact, there is not much skill involved in playing this game because it was a matter of pure luck. Let us look at how they played this game at that time.
The rules
The gambler has to pick up three numbers each at random in two sets. Let us consider a simple example. You pick up the numbers 3, 5, and 8 in the first set. Add these three numbers and you get the figure 16. Ignore the ten’s digit and concentrate on the unit’s digit, i.e. 6. Thus you have four numbers now, 3, 5, 8, and 6. Similarly, you choose the second set at random; say 2, 4, and 7. You add these numbers and you get 13. Ignore the 1 and concentrate on the 3. Now, you have a second set of three numbers 1, 4, 7, and 3.
How do you win?
As a player, you can bet on the entire range from the first to the last. You also have an option of placing any other bet allowed by the bookie. The payout is in the range of 9/1 to 999/1. This is a game of pure luck. The draws are held at 9 pm for the open number and after two hours for the remaining two numbers. If you get one number in the right sequence, you get 9 times your investment. Similarly, two numbers will get you 99 times your investment and all the three right numbers get you the jackpot of 999 times your investment. Now that can be a lot of money.
Final words:
Gambling is always an addiction. The more you play this game, the more you are drawn towards it.
