If you had an opportunity to look through several websites offering baji, you must notice that the timing is different on each of them. If one of them claims that 1st baji will happen at 10:20 AM, the second site would state 10:28 AM, and the third would claim that the drawing time is exactly at 10:30 AM. As a result, new players might get confused with the process. However, it should be realized that actual drawing time and posting schedule are different matters.
What Is the Difference Between Drawing Time and Posting Time?
- Drawing time – this is when the actual patti was drawn;
- Posting time – this is when the patti is actually posted;
- Some websites post the drawing time, other websites post the posting time;
- Some websites post the average time between the two;
- Usually, the time difference between the two is 5 to 15 minutes per each baji.
As a result, the confusion is rather natural, and in many cases, it is not connected with any website being "wrong". All the websites have their own point of reference. For instance, sites such as Kolkata Fatafat post round timings.
The Issue of Server Delay and Automation
Almost all the websites that publish information regarding the results of Kolkata FF use automated scrapers or manual updateers to get the needed information from feed sources. Automation is fast, but not instant. There is always a delay between the moment the baji was posted and the moment when it becomes available on the website. Some websites are faster because of their optimized cloud servers and professional fetching services, while others are slower due to hosting issues. Thus, this difference in server delay impacts the "official" timings of websites.
Absence of Centralization and Schedule Regulation
Here, people fail to realize the whole situation. Kolkata FF is not related to the government-regulated lottery like the Nagaland State Lottery and, therefore, there is no official gazette timing schedule that could be enforced publically. Schedule is kept privately, and each website has its own schedule according to the traditions and practices of the community. Isliye, there are differences that cannot be standardized due to the lack of any regulatory body.
Differences Between Round and Exact Timing
Some websites prefer using the round timing for convenience because the number is easier to remember when it is used in the table – 10:30 AM looks nicer than 10:28 AM. On the other hand, some websites are more interested in precision and provide the "exact" timing down to the minute. Both of these conventions are equally valid.
- Round timing looks neat and is easier to remember;
- Exact timing is more accurate but harder to remember;
- New websites use round timing schedules taken from the old websites;
- Old websites still use the minute-based timing schedule;
- There is no convention that would be objectively better, it is a matter of preference only.
Baji Delays That Might Happen Only Rarely
Sometimes, some individual bajis may suffer from delay because of operator-level problems, network failure, or server overload. Consequently, the websites that provide updates in real time will show the delay, while the other ones will still show the usual timing. This is yet another reason why two websites may have different timings for the same baji.
