DEFINITION

Noun

Popular numbers that are bet on for 4-digit lottery (4D).

由来
  • 新加坡的博彩项目中，包括万字票（4D）这一项。万字票指的是从0000至9999共一万个号码之间选出四位数号码投注。
  • 投注者在电视节目、报章新闻或车牌号码中看到一些漂亮的数字（如1888，8888等）时，会把它当成幸运号码，投注万字票。
  • 在万字票中，博彩公司对每一组四位数字的发售是有一定的数额的，若某几组数字成为大家抢购的号码，那么那几组数字就成了红字，超出销售顶限后，投注者就无法再为这组数字投注。因此，红字也是旺字。
ETYMOLOGY
  • 4D lottery is one of the betting activities in Singapore. The term “4D” refers to the 4-digit number ranging from 0000 to 9999 which can be selected and betted on.
  • Some betting pundits would be inspired by “nice” numbers (such as 1888and 8888) that they see on television shows, newspaper reports or car license plates, and treat them as lucky numbers to bet on.
  • In the 4D lottery system, there are limited times that each four-digit number can be sold. If a large number of people bet on certain numbers, those numbers become popular numbers. Once the sales limit for a number is reached, pundits will not be able to place a bet on that number. Hence, the popular numbers are also considered auspicious numbers.
例句
有字迷受访时表示，担心该组数字成为“红字”后，这两天开奖之前怕买不进，因此趁早到博彩公司的投注站下注。（《新明日报》，16/9/2018）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
Some pundits indicated that they were afraid that this particular number would become a “popular number for 4D”, which meant that they would not be able to bet on it in the two days before betting was closed. As a result, they made their way to the Singapore Pools outlets as soon as they could to place their bets. (Shin Min Daily News, 16/9/2018)
