What is a "numbers game"?
A numbers game is an illegal form of gambling where players bet on the outcome of a randomly selected number. It became popular in the United States in the early 20th century, particularly in urban areas. In this game, a "bookmaker" or operator selects a number, often based on a daily drawing or random event, and players bet on what they think the number will be. If they guess correctly, they win money based on the odds. The numbers game is typically unregulated and is often associated with organized crime and illegal gambling networks.
