What is Fafi, also know as Mo-China? Fafi is one of the most popular forms of gambling in South Africa, and is basically a lottery betting product, where you choose a number between 1 and 36, and the odds for winning are typically set at 28/1.
Typically a spaza shop will be the bookie and take bets up to 3 times per day. The minimum bet is typically R1, so it is very popular and very easy to understand. The simplicity of the game shows how the online Lucky numbers product has also grown so popular so quickly, especially those with multiple draws per day, like the UK49. Six numbers are usually blocked and no bets can be placed on these numbers, these are numbers which have been drawn in the previous three rounds.

An issue often raised about Mo-China is how the winning numbers are selected. It has been thought that the winning numbers are chosen based on which bets have been made, and this is why it is often a better idea to bet on lucky numbers with a registered betting company, as that way you are ensured that the winning numbers are selected randomly and fairly.
