All the sources which cover Kolkata FF state that the interval between rounds is "about 1.5 hours". It is quite convenient and rather correct statement. But it is quite misleading because the intervals between Kolkata FF rounds vary depending on the time of the day. Analyzing the result timestamps and drawing them as a graph you can see clearly that there is a special pattern in the intervals between rounds. While some rounds have 1 hour 30 minute interval between them, some rounds have noticeably shorter interval and the interval between other rounds becomes larger. This information is quite useful for a real player because it affects the planning of his bets and even his rhythm.

The Standard Schedule for Reference

Before analyzing the gaps, let's look at the standard schedule of rounds:

- 1st Baazi: 10:28 AM.

- 2nd Baazi: 11:58 AM.

- 3rd Baazi: 1:28 PM.

- 4th Baazi: 2:58 PM.

- 5th Baazi: 4:30 PM.

- 6th Baazi: 5:28 PM.

- 7th Baazi: 7:28 PM.

- 8th Baazi: 9:00 PM.

These are the result timestamps which were used for the calculation of intervals between baazis. It should be noted that these numbers are the result announcement times and not the times of closing the betting windows.

The Morning Time of the Day Has the Most Stable Interval Rhythm

The interval between the 1st and 2nd baazis equals exactly 1 hour 30 minutes. As well as the interval between the 2nd and 3rd baazis and the interval between the 3rd and 4th baazis. So, the interval between morning and early afternoon baazis is the most accurate and stable. There are three baazis which are spaced 90 minutes from each other. This is the best time for the beginner to get accustomed to the rhythm of the game as the schedule is the most predictable during this period of the day.

4th and 5th Rounds Have the Smallest Interval Difference

The 4th baazi at 2:58 PM and 5th baazi at 4:30 PM have the interval of 1 hour 32 minutes. In other words, there is a difference in the interval between 4th and 5th baazis, which ruins the pattern we just discussed. The difference of 2 minutes is quite small, however, on the graph it looks like a small irregularity of the day. This is the time when the traffic on the website increases and tipster channels actively promote the predictions for the 5th baazi.

The Interval Between 5th and 6th Rounds Is the Shortest

Now we face the complete change of 1.5 hours interval rhythm. The 5th baazi at 4:30 PM and 6th baazi at 5:28 PM have the interval of 58 minutes. It is the shortest interval of the whole day and catches the most casual players unprepared. In case you made a bet on the 5th round and started analyzing the chart after that, you will have only 45 minutes left for the analysis before the closing of betting window of the 6th round. Also, this is the time when the impulsive betting occurs as there is no time to make a rational decision. I'm quite sure that this interval is intentionally created to provoke the bursts of activity in late afternoon.

6th and 7th Rounds Have the Largest Interval

After the short interval between 5th and 6th baazis the schedule becomes much slower. The 6th baazi at 5:28 PM and 7th baazi at 7:28 PM have the interval of 2 hours. It is the largest interval of the whole day and occurs in the evening rush hour and dinner time. It doesn't matter whether the schedule was made taking into account cultural reasons or it occurred accidentally, the 2 hours interval of the evening creates good conditions for the players to either stop playing or gather the necessary emotional energy for the final rounds. Almost all regular players claim that the interval between 6 PM and 7 PM is their thinking time.

The Interval Between 7th and 8th Rounds Becomes Normal Again

The 7th baazi at 7:28 PM and 8th baazi at 9:00 PM have the interval of 1 hour 32 minutes, almost exactly matching the interval between 4th and 5th baazis. In other words, the evening schedule ends with near-normal 1.5 hours interval before the finale of the night.

The Pattern of Intervals in One Look

- 1st to 2nd: 1 hour 30 minutes.

- 2nd to 3rd: 1 hour 30 minutes.

- 3rd to 4th: 1 hour 30 minutes.

- 4th to 5th: 1 hour 32 minutes.

- 5th to 6th: 58 minutes.

- 6th to 7th: 2 hours 0 minutes.

- 7th to 8th: 1 hour 32 minutes.

Analyzing this schedule you can notice that it creates a wavy pattern. There are three baazis with normal interval in the morning, small irregularity, compression at 5th to 6th baazis, the largest interval of the day and transition to the finale at night.

The Reason for Varying Intervals

There is no official reason for the intervals between rounds of Kolkata FF to vary. But the discussion with veteran players and the analysis of the community behavior helped us to find a couple of possible explanations. The morning intervals are uniform as the system works flawlessly at that time. The interval between 5th and 6th rounds may correspond to the late afternoon time when office workers give a quick glance at the game between 5 PM and 6 PM. The 6th to 7th interval may correspond to the dinner hour when most of agents and players are away from their phones. In other words, the schedule of the game is influenced by the attention of its players, not the clock.

Why You Should Know About This Information

If you ever follow the results of Kolkata FF, don't expect rounds to have equal intervals. Take into account the actual intervals while planning your day. The morning time of the day is the most peaceful, the afternoon is tricky with one tight interval and the evening has the largest interval of the day. The websites like fatafatkolkata.net regularly publish these timings, but very few of them plot the interval map the way it is done above.
