Satta Matka Chart FAQ
Answers to the questions readers ask most about matka results, the jodi chart and panel chart, the timings and this website.
What is satta matka and where did it start?
Satta means a bet and matka is the clay pot that numbers were once drawn from. The game began in Bombay in the 1950s and 60s, when people bet on the daily cotton rates that came in from New York. Once those rates stopped arriving in the early 1960s, operators such as Kalyanji Bhagat and Ratan Khatri switched to drawing numbers instead, and the open, close and jodi format used by every market today grew out of that.
What is the difference between a jodi and a panna?
A panna (also called a patti) is the three-digit number drawn for the open or for the close, such as 458. A jodi is the two-digit pair made from the two anks: the open ank first, then the close ank, so an open panna of 458 (ank 7) and a close panna of 239 (ank 4) give jodi 74. The jodi chart records only the pairs; the panel chart records the open patti and close patti around each jodi.
What does a result like 579-19-360 mean?
579 on the left is the open panna and 360 on the right is the close panna. Each panna gives one ank: add up its digits and drop everything but the final digit of the sum, so 5+7+9 = 21 gives 1, and 3+6+0 = 9 gives 9. Put those two anks next to each other and you get 19, the jodi printed in the middle.
What do single, jodi, panna, half sangam and full sangam mean?
A single is one ank, a lone digit from zero to nine. A jodi pairs the open ank with the close ank, giving a number from 00 to 99. A panna, also called patti, is the three-digit number drawn at the open or the close. A half sangam joins a panna from one side with the ank of the other side, and a full sangam is the open panna and the close panna taken together.
What are single, double and triple pannas?
In a single panna no digit repeats, as in 158. A double panna contains a repeated digit, as in 223, and a triple panna is one digit written thrice, as in 555. There are 220 valid pannas in all: 120 single, 90 double and 10 triple, and our 220 panna list groups every one of them under the ank it gives.
Why is only part of a result shown for some markets?
Each market has two declarations a day, one when it opens and one when it closes. Until the close comes out, the board shows the open panna with its ank, and stars hold the places still to be filled. Those stars are replaced as soon as the close result is declared.
After midnight, why is the board still on the previous day?
Several night markets declare their close after 12 AM. A result that comes at, say, 12:30 AM is part of the session which started the previous evening, so the date on the board only changes at 1 AM. That is how each result ends up in the correct row of the market's jodi chart and of its panel chart.
How is a jodi chart different from a panel chart?
Both cover the same dates, and each row is one week. The jodi chart holds just the daily two-digit jodi, so it is quick to scan for patterns. The panel chart keeps the full line, with the open panna and the close panna on either side of the jodi. On either chart, tap a cell to see its date and complete result.
How quickly do results appear on this site?
A result shows on the board as soon as it reaches us. While the page is open it checks for new numbers every 45 seconds, so you do not have to reload it, and the Refresh button checks straight away. The same number is written into that market's charts, both jodi and panel, at the same moment.
What is Starline?
Starline is a separate game with a draw roughly every hour through the day. Each draw produces a panna and the ank it gives, such as 380-1. Because Starline has no separate open and close draw, it has no jodi. When Starline is running, its hourly results and a day-by-day record have their own page.
Why does a market say NO DRAW?
It means the market is shut for the day, usually because it is Sunday or a festival. No result comes out, so that date stays blank in the chart.
What is the Final Ank in the lucky ank box?
The Final Ank box shows one digit for each of a few popular markets, written as the market name and a digit. Like the Lucky Ank above it, the digits are worked out from the date, stay the same for the whole day and change after midnight. They are for fun only and say nothing about the real result.
Are the daily lucky ank and the weekly lines meant as tips?
No. They are meant as entertainment and are worked out from public charts that appear on this site. Earlier results have no say in future draws, and nobody linked to us sells fixed numbers.
Can an old chart tell me the next result?
No. Every draw is separate, and a digit that has not come for weeks is no more likely to come tomorrow. The jodi chart and the panel chart are a record of what has already happened. They are useful for checking past results, not for knowing the next one.
Should I trust someone selling a fix jodi or a leaked number?
No. A genuine result cannot be known before it is declared, so anyone offering a fixed, leaked or guaranteed number for a fee is running a scam. Do not send money or share personal details with such people. This site never sells numbers and never asks for payment.
Is satta matka legal in India?
Gambling is regulated by each state in India, and betting on matka is not allowed in most of them. Rules differ from place to place, so find out what the law says in your state. This site only publishes results and charts for information; it does not take bets.
Can I place a bet on this site?
No. This site only shows results, charts and reference tables. If you want to play, do it in the app or on another platform that is lawful where you are, and only once you are 18 or over.
Do I need to register or pay to see results and charts?
No. Every result, jodi chart, panel chart, time table and reference tool on this site is free to read, with no account and no login, and it works on any phone or computer. You can even post in the forum without signing up.
Are forum posts official results?
No. Forum posts are visitors' own guesses and opinions, checked by a moderator only for spam, abuse and phone numbers. The official figures are the results on the board and in the charts.
What should I do if a result or timing looks wrong?
Write to us through the Contact Us page with the market name, the date and what looks wrong. We check it against the declaration and correct the board, the jodi chart and the panel chart if there was a mistake.
