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.
