Satta, also known as “satta matka,” is a form of illegal gambling that originated in India in the 1960s. The word “satta” means “betting” in Hindi, and “matka” refers to an earthen pot used to draw numbers. Initially, satta involved placing bets on the opening and closing rates of cotton transmitted from the New York Cotton Exchange to the Bombay Cotton Exchange. Over time, it evolved into a broader system of gambling, encompassing various forms of betting.
Matka refers to a numerical lottery-based game that is a crucial component of satta. In this game, players choose a set of numbers from a pre-defined range. The numbers are then placed in specific permutations and combinations, and a winning number is drawn at random. The winning number is obtained by using various mathematical formulas and techniques, adding an element of excitement and complexity to the game.
