Teer

The “Thoh Kyntip”, popularly known as “Teer” is all about dreams. Dreams that usually have no meaning otherwise, but the connoisseurs of the game know how to interpret your dreams. There is a number associated with each dream and it is most likely be the lucky number to win in this gambling sport. You can bet in a number with as low as Re. 1.

Legalised by the state government only in 1982, gambling through archery has been in existence for more than a hundred years now.After the turn of the last century clubs of various localities and villages in and around Shillong started holding a weekly archery contest. The competition evolved and took its present form only in the late 1950s when a unique system of adapting the results with the requirements of gambling emerged. The last two digits of the number of arrows embedded in the target would be the ‘winning’ number. For instance, if 1,024 arrows hit the target, the winning number would be 24.
