Common Bingo Strategies And A Few Rules To Follow
Anne Morris


For those of us who play Bingo on a regular basis, we know that
no matter what we do, there is always the element of chance
involved in game play, and that we may play our best game and
still not win. For those who don’t play Bingo often, or aren’t
very familiar with the game, I will briefly describe the way it
works for you. In the game of Bingo, each participating player
receives at least one game card, which has B-I-N-G-O written
across the top, and then 25 squares, one being a free space,
and the other 24 being filled with various numbers, from one
all the way to seventy-five.

Once all players have chosen their game cards, a caller with
start calling random numbers, and as those numbers are called,
players put small tokens over the matching numbers on their
cards. Numbers continue to be called until one player declares
Bingo, and the numbers have been checked for accuracy. To get
Bingo, you have to either match a pre-determined pattern on
your card, or get all of the numbers in a straight line,
diagonally, vertically, or horizontally. Your free space can
help you win the game. If you play online Bingo games, some
websites use gaming software that will actually fill in your
cards for you as the numbers are being called, and will alert
you when you have a winning card, so that you can call Bingo.
Not everyone likes this feature, as they feel it takes the fun
out of their game play.

Many people say that winning or losing at Bingo really doesn’t
have anything to do with the skill of the player, that it is
all just the luck of the numbers. But, others say that is the
very reason Bingo players need a good strategy, so that they
can combat the luck that so often goes against them during the
game.

As stated earlier, Bingo uses numbers 1-75, which players can
use in their favor. If a ball ending in a high number, such as
8 is drawn, chances are slight that another ball ending in the
same number will be drawn again anytime soon. When picking your
cards, you should keep in mind that the caller is more likely to
draw odd numbers than even, and try to pick a card containing
mostly odd numbers.

Really the only strategy that you can use in Bingo has to do
with card selection, and that is just based on your knowledge
of how the numbers are usually called, and with that huge
element of chance involved in every game, even that isn’t a
sure way to win the game.

So, when you start to play your next game of Bingo, pay special
attention to the numbers on your card, and try to find one that
has several odd numbers, even numbers, low numbers and high
numbers, as you will increase your odds of winning, if luck is
on your side.
