Matka Bet Types Explained With Examples

A matka result is only eight digits long, yet a whole vocabulary of bet types has grown up around it. Some point at one digit, some at the middle pair, some at a three-digit panna, and a few gather a group of numbers into one selection. This page takes each name in turn and shows which part of one example result decides it. It explains terms and nothing more: Satta Matka accepts no bets and recommends none.

One result for every example

All the examples here use the result 138-23-445. The open panna 138 totals 12, which gives an open ank of 2. The close panna 445 totals 13, which gives a close ank of 3. Write the open ank before the close ank and the jodi is 23. If this sum is new to you, start with how Satta Matka works and come back afterwards.

Open bets and close bets

Most selections belong to one side of a session. An open bet looks only at the first panna and the ank worked out from it, so it is settled the moment the open is declared. A close bet looks only at the second panna and the ank that comes from it, so it waits for the second declaration. On 138-23-445, an open bet can only concern 138 or 2, and a close bet can only concern 445 or 3.

A few types need both sides at once: the jodi, the jodi family, red jodi groups and both kinds of sangam. None of them can be settled until the close is out.

Single (ank)

A single is one digit, 0 to 9, placed on a chosen side. The name is short for single ank. On the example, 2 on the open matches and 3 on the close matches. The same 3 placed on the open does not, because a single is tied to its side as well as to its digit.

Jodi and the types built on it

Jodi

A jodi selection names one pair out of the hundred between 00 and 99, and it is compared with the middle of the result, digit order included. Here 23 matches, while 32, the same digits reversed, does not. The 100 jodi chart lists all of them.

Red jodi

Red is a label for a shape of pair. A jodi is red when its two digits are equal (00, 11, 22 up to 99) or when the second digit is the first one’s cut (05, 16, 27, 38, 49 and the reversed forms 50, 61, 72, 83, 94). That gives 20 red jodis. On the charts red is only a colour; where an operator offers a “red” selection, it is simply a group of those pairs covered at once. The example jodi 23 is not red: 2 and 3 differ, and the cut of 2 is 7.

Jodi family

A family is built from a pair, the cut of each of its digits, and both orders of writing. For 23 the digits are 2 and 3 and their cuts are 7 and 8, so the family holds eight pairs: 23, 28, 32, 37, 73, 78, 82 and 87. When the starting pair is red the family shrinks to four, for example 11, 16, 61 and 66. The hundred jodis divide into exactly 15 families, ten with eight members and five with four, all listed on the family jodi chart. A family selection matches when the declared jodi is any one of its members.

Panna types

A panna selection names three digits for the open or for the close. Single, double and triple are three shapes inside one pool of 220 valid pannas. A market holds no separate draw for each shape.

Digits are written in rising order with 0 counted as the highest, so 0, 4 and 7 appear as 470. The 220 panna list shows every valid panna.

Sangam types

Half sangam

A half sangam joins a panna from one side with the ank from the other side, and both parts have to match. It can be built two ways round:

• Open panna with close ank – on the example, 138 with 3.
• Open ank with close panna – on the example, 2 with 445.

It always crosses sides, because the digits of 138 already fix its own ank at 2.

Full sangam

A full sangam names both pannas: 138 for the open and 445 for the close. The jodi is not written down, because the two pannas already settle it. With 220 pannas possible on each side there are 48,400 open and close combinations, which makes this the narrowest selection on the whole list.

Panna bundles: motor and cycle patti

Three names describe a set of pannas generated from digits the player supplies. Operators do not all word these rules identically, so read the lines below as the usual meaning rather than a fixed standard.

SP motor

The player gives a list of digits, and the set holds every single panna that uses three different digits from that list. The digits 1, 3, 6 and 8 produce four pannas: 136, 138, 168 and 368. A list of five digits produces ten. On the example, the open panna 138 belongs to that four-digit set.

DP motor

The same idea applied to double pannas. The set holds every panna in which one listed digit appears twice and another listed digit once. The digits 3, 4 and 5 give 334, 335, 344, 355, 445 and 455, and the close panna 445 is one of them.

Cycle patti

Cycle patti, often written CP, usually starts from two digits and covers the pannas that contain both. For 3 and 8 that means the single pannas 138, 238, 348, 358, 368, 378, 389 and 380, and some operators also count the double pannas 338 and 388. The example’s open panna 138 sits inside that set.

All the types on one result

Starline uses fewer types

A Starline draw declares a single panna plus its ank, for example 380-1. Only the single and the panna types fit that shape. There is no second side, so the jodi, the family, red groups and both sangams simply do not apply to it.

What the names do not change

A bundle such as a jodi family or an SP motor does nothing to the draw. It covers more numbers only because it is several selections joined together, and the stake normally grows with them. Payouts are set by each operator, not by the game; the game rates guide compares them with the real odds, and the matka dictionary defines every term.

Read this before anything else

These definitions are here so that results make sense, not as an invitation to play. Betting on matka is illegal in most Indian states, and the law differs from one state to another, so check the position where you live. Nobody under 18 should take part anywhere, and an adult who does should use only money they can afford to lose. No bet type, chart or guess can predict a result, and anyone selling a “fix” number is running a scam.
