Alwar : Alwar It is 8 o’clock in the night. In winter, people usually reach their homes by this time. But at this time, a betting market is set up in the middle well outside Delhi Darwaza in Alwar. Some people were sitting outside the house and betting. When the reporter took out money from his pocket and gave it to the bookie and asked him to place a bet, he asked him to go inside the room. A young man came there and asked the betting numbers and asked which one to bet on among Delhi, Mahalakshmi, Gali, Dishawar, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. After this, he took the money and placed the slip on the number and name of the city given by the correspondent.
There is so much crowd that there is no time to speak: When I reached the second place of footy game, a large number of people were seen moving there. When I went inside the street, I saw that four people were sitting on two separate benches. Who were busy making slips. Also, some people were standing around and monitoring. When I gave money to a person making slips, he asked on which number to bet. When the correspondent started thinking of the number, the bookie said, quickly tell me the number, there is not much time, we have a lot of other work. The reporter told the number and the person handed over the slip.
You get hundred times the money: By betting one rupee in the betting market of Alwar, one gets 100 rupees. In this, the person cutting the slip has to pay Rs 10. People are betting from Rs 10 to lakhs in the city. In this, this money is given when the number is opened.
