Kolkata FF ecosystem is highly interlinked and once one of the websites announces the incorrect Patti, the information is immediately spread over dozens of other websites. Thus, the misinformation is created among the FF community members, who may get confused if they are trying to check the information against one of the copying websites and fall prey to the number that was never announced. In the following part, I am going to discuss the process of misinformation creation in FF community and explain how it can be prevented by kolkataff.net.
The Chain of Copies behind Each Result Update
The majority of Kolkata FF websites do not employ their own workers in the vicinity of the place where the draw took place. Indeed, either one or two "primary" websites announce the number and then hundreds of other websites automatically or manually copy this number. And if the number turned out to be 456 instead of 465, all this websites will get the incorrect number and keep spreading it further. The fact is that most users are simply not aware of the fact that their favorite website is one of the copycats.
Why the First Incorrect Number Remains Incorrect
As soon as the false information has been posted on the website, its correction becomes difficult. Some websites do not even care to check the received number and, thus, remain unaware of the mistake. Others know about the mistake but they do not want to correct it because it will make them look rather sluggish. Finally, some websites simply do not want to fix the mistake since it is no big deal, because very few users cross-check it. The consequence is that the misinformation spreads and stays there for hours or even a whole day. Users place bets on the Patti that was never actually announced.
Telltale Signs of a Copy Website
There are several distinct characteristics that distinguish the primary source from the mirror site:
- The number appears with a peculiar delay and equals 10 seconds of another source.
- The formatting is absolutely identical to another popular website.
- Older results contain the same typos and mistakes as another website.
- There is no clear "updated at" timestamp and no verification whatsoever.
- The digit sum occasionally does not add up since the website owner simply copied everything blindfolded.
If you notice two or more of these signs on one website, you are definitely dealing with a copy of someone else's result feed.
How Incorrect Numbers Ruin Reputation of FF Results System
Users, who have placed their bet based on the incorrect number and found out that it was placed on the wrong Patti, become mistrustful towards the entire FF results system. Regular players of the game become dubious of all the numbers they see in the table. The consequence is that they spend much more time cross-checking than actually checking. It is bad not only for the game community but for the legitimate websites as well, since they are becoming associated with dubious ones.
How kolkataff.net Does Not Fall into the Copy Trap
Unlike some other websites, kolkataff.net does not copy the results from one source. Rather, the number is compared with several independent sources before it is placed on the table and the automatic digit sum is checked in order to prevent mistyped Patti. In case of discrepancy, the number waits for verification, so a couple of extra seconds is much better than the incorrect data "sabse pehle".
Conclusion
Misinformation in Kolkata FF gets spread because of the special structure of the system, which is based on the copy-paste mechanism. Mistake is made on one primary website and then is copied by dozens of other mirror websites without any verification. As a user, your only protection from this issue is to cross-check the digit sum, compare against the second independent source and use the website that does not chase the speed.
