Bingo Strategy

Bingo strategy. In an online bingo game, there are either 75 or 90 different numbers involved. In all games, the drawing continues, until a winner is found.

In other words, you do not have a great deal of influence on your chances of winning, since bingo is, first and foremost, based upon good luck/bad luck. This being said, there are some guidelines that you can (and should) follow, in order to improve your chances of winning.

Play with more than one card at a time

It may seem obvious that if you choose to spend a little money on a couple of extra bingo cards, stand a better chance of being the first to yell `Bingo!´ But how many cards should you choose to play with?

Well, this depends on several factors, such as the number of players involved in the game, the price of the bingo cards, and the amount of prize money, compared to the price of the cards.

Some experts believe that the optimum number of cards is five. This may vary, depending on the number of players involved, and on the amount of prize money, though.

When playing with more than one bingo card at a time ...

If you choose to play with more than one card at a time, just like we recommended above, then it would be a good idea to make sure that the numbers on each card differ as much from each other as possible.

Why? Simply because, if you have the same number on several cards, and that number fails to come up, then you have lost the advantage of having more than one card.

When playing with more than one bingo card at a time ...

Are we not contradicting ourselves now?

First, we tell you to get some bingo cards where the numbers differ as much as possible, and now, we are telling you the exact opposite thing. What is the point of that?

The point, dear reader, is that you should follow one bingo strategy or the other.

Where the strategy of `spreading out the numbers´ (as mentioned in the paragraph above) can be considered somewhat conservative, the last mentioned `concentrating the numbers´ strategy is much more aggressive.

The whole idea is that every time you hit a number, the chances are that you will hit it, not just on one card, but perhaps at two or three cards at the same time. Thus, you enhance your profit from each fortunate outcome.

Pick a game with as few opponents as possible

Even though fewer players generally equals smaller prizes, it also equals greater chances of winning.

In order to encounter as little opposition as possible, it is recommendable to visit the bingo room during the `dead´ periods of the day.

The times of these `dead´ periods depend upon the nationality of the players. However, many bingo rooms experience very little activity in the morning, while the Americans are still asleep, and the Europeans are at work.

Go for the large prizes

Once again, we seem to be contradicting ourselves: We previously advised you to choose a game with few opponents (and relatively small prizes).

However, there are exceptions to every piece of advice: By going for the large prizes/jackpots, you are also very likely to go for bingo games with many participants (= less chance of winning). On the other hand: When you do win, you will win BIG.

Even though you may improve your chances of winning, by following one bingo strategy or another, it is important to keep in mind that bingo IS, and always will be, based on good luck/bad luck. Just play, have fun, and hope that you can be the first to yell `Bingo!´
