understand How to Play Matka step by step
You Decide Which Part To Play On
A Matka result is released in two parts. You can play the part of your choice.
Open
Play on the first part of the result
Close
Play on the second part of the result
Full Result
Combination of Open and Close
You Decide Which Variation To Play
There are 5 types of Matka variations you can play. They are different parts of the same result and have different rates.
You Pick a Number
Once you decide what variation works for you, you need to pick a number from that variation to play.
For example, each particular variation looks like this:
Single (Ank)
Open Single: (8)
Close Single: (0)
Jodi
(80)
Pana
Open Pana: (260)
Close Pana: (190)
Half Sangam
HS.A: (260×0)
HS.B: (8×190)
Sangam
(260-190)
For Open/Close parts you can only play Single and Pana.
As Jodi / Half Sangam / Sangam only gets known after both Open Result and Close Result are released, Full Result variations must be played in Open.
Example: You cannot play Jodi / Half Sangam / Sangam in Close as they are Full Result variations meaning that they are a combination of Open result and Close Result.
You can play any number of picks to improve your chances of winning.
Example: You can play Open Single (3, 8, 2, 7) — 4 Singles, each × amount you want. If the Open Result matches with any of the 4 singles, you win.
You Play it with a Bookmaker (Bookie)
To “Play” your game, you need to have a Bookie. A Bookie is the one who takes your game, pays the money if you win.
What is “Playing”?
Playing is essentially you betting money on your “Pick”.
Step
Play your Pick
With
A Bookmaker
Meaning
You bet money on your pick
For Example
Assume our Part, Variation & Pick is:
We are betting 1000/- that 8 will be the result in Open. If the result is 8, we win; if not, we lose.
Example values are for illustration only. You can even play 1/-. There is no known minimum or maximum bet in matka.
The Market announces the Result
The Market is responsible for releasing the result so that the bookie can settle the bets. Without a result, you can’t know if you won or lost.
Open Result
An Open Result is the first part of the Full Result.
Close Result
A Close Result is the second part of the Full Result.
Example Timings of Popular Markets
Kalyan (Market)
Open Time: 03:55 PM
Close Time: 05:55 PM
Runs Monday to Saturday
Main Ratan (Market)
Open Time: 09:35 PM
Close Time: 12:05 AM
Runs Monday to Friday
Let us assume, the result got released.
Here, 134 is Open Pana and 8 is Open Single
What we Played?
1000 × 9 Rs = Rs. 9000/-
are our Winnings!
For example, if you played Open Pana 260 and Open Single 8, you get payment only for Open Single 8 because the Open Pana 260 you played did not match with the result (Open Pana 134) as in the given example. Meaning that, you only get payment for matched part of the result. It is always recommended that you label your game clearly when playing.
Now, you can opt to play close as per your wish.
Win if it matches
As simple as that. You only win if what you played matches with the market released result.
You'll Win
If the result matches with what you played
You Lose
If not
Profit Calculation
Winning Example
If you Played 8 and the result is 8, you win. Your bet is multiplied by Rate and your winnings are transferred to you.
Losing Example
If you Played 8 and the result is anything except 8 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,0), you lose and you don't get your money back.
