The Satta Matka history is a fascinating story that began in the cotton markets of Mumbai. What started as a form of betting on cotton rates in the 1950s evolved into the matka game we know today — led by two legendary figures, Kalyanji Bhagat and Ratan Khatri. RSBoss.net brings you the complete story of matka.
In the 1950s, people placed bets on the opening and closing rates of cotton transmitted from the New York Cotton Exchange to Bombay markets. This was called "Ankada Jugar". When the system was banned in 1961, the race course method and matka method replaced it.
In 1962, Kalyanji Bhagat started the Kalyan Matka with games open all seven days of the week. His version gained enormous popularity in Mumbai. Today, Kalyan Matka remains the biggest matka market in India, running Monday to Saturday at RSBoss.net.
Ratan Khatri introduced the Worli Matka in 1964, drawing numbers from a clay pot (matka) using chits. He declared numbers at 9 PM every evening and imposed a one-day limit on bets. During the peak of the 1980s and 1990s, matka turnover reached billions, and Ratan Khatri was called the "Matka King" of India.
After police raids in the 1990s, matka moved online. Today, websites like RSBoss.net provide live results, charts, and guessing to millions of players across India. Markets like Kalyan, Main Mumbai, Milan Day, and Rajdhani Night are now played seamlessly over the internet.
