How to win at bingo
Most people consider bingo a game of luck - and they are correct. A clever player can however increase his or her winning odds by thinking “outside the box”. Let’s take a look at couple of simple strategy tips I personally have used with success.
Timing is the key
Bingo differs from all the other games of luck (like lotto) in one crucial way: every bingo game must have a winner. This may not sound such an important fact, but thanks to it the following conclusion is true: If every bingo game must have a winner, I will win more likely when there are less other people playing. Just by playing when there are fewer other people playing, your chance of winning the jackpot increases greatly!
So when should you play if you want to use this easy strategy? Well it differs from site to site, so you need to do a little bit of detective work: when you play bingo, make a mental note how many players are currently playing. You’ll soon notice peak hours and slow hours. And when you do, just take advantage of the latter by playing during them!
Be creative
You can also be creative. To chase those jackpots, think of times when there might be fewer players online.
Couple of examples to get you started:
- Is there a tv-show that most of your roomies love, but that you don’t care that much about? If so, play during that tv-show. Other players will be watching the show while you are winning!
- If you work, play during your lunch break. And if you can take your lunch break a little later or sooner than most people, you’ll make this simple strategy even more effective!
- Insomnia? Use it to win! My doctor once told me (I’m a very bad sleeper) that if I can’t sleep, I should do something that keeps my mind occupied for half an hour and then try sleeping again. I took her advice and whenever I can’t sleep I just play a bit of bingo. There are very few other players around at that time, so “thanks” to my insomnia I have won couple of very nice jackpots. Talk about making the most out of a bad situation!
But is it fun?
Some people think this is not a fun strategy, since online bingo is such a social game. They think this social game can’t be fully enjoyed with only few other chatters. I disagree - just because there are fewer chatters, the chatting isn’t any less fun. Actually it can be just the opposite: fewer chatters can lead to more meaningful conversations. And if you time your gaming right, the topic of the conversation just might be your jackpots…
Conclusion
There you have it: the jackpot winning strategy. Give this simple strategy a go, and who knows, maybe you’ll be the next jackpot king or queen.
