“X Means In Numbers Game Lotterie

The “numbers game,” also referred to as the “numbers racket,” was an illegal and low-cost lottery run illegally from bars and other places in slum areas. It provided income for black men and women such as Malcolm X. Today this phrase can also refer to situations where long-game math may ultimately pay off; for instance making more cold calls will eventually lead to increased sales or investing in property until its value increases over time.
