As with any gambling game, the question on whether it is possible to make money playing bingo is a very common one. The answer to this question, however, remains to be elusive and two-fold. On the one hand, bingo is so much bigger now than it was several years ago.
This means that the jackpot prizes are so much bigger now than they previously were; it is possible to earn significant amount of money now from bingo, something that may not be possible before.
On the other hand, bingo, whether it is online bingo or traditional live bingo, is still a gambling game. And since bingo is largely a game of luck, a player’s chance of winning is often out of his hands.
Nevertheless, many players still hope to earn money from bingo. In this case, the only thing they can do is try to increase their chances of winning. Since bingo is a game of chance more than anything else, skill has very little to do with this (if at all).
Still, there are a few things a player can do to increase his chances, although most of these steps aren’t really tactics connected with winning the game; rather, they are tactics on how to play the game effectively.
For instance, any serious player who wants to earn money from bingo will have to decrease his losses. This way, if the player does win, the cut from the losses won’t be large enough to make a dent on the actual winnings.
Of course, this is easier said than done, especially since one way to increase the chance of winning is getting more cards.
This is a common bingo principle. For example, one player bought two bingo cards, the other bought four. The one with five players have twice the chance of winning. However, if he loses, he will lose two times more compared to the player with only two cards.
The key here is to play with only a set number of cards per game. For instance, if you plan to play 10 games, you should decide on how many cards per game you will buy. Do not increase the number of your cards at any point within this 10-game period.
If possible, play with the same set of cards when playing a pre-set number of games. For one, if you marking your cards manually, this will help you become more familiar with the cards. This also decreases the random effect of the game; when your card numbers are constant, only the numbers to be called remain to be the unknown variable, so to speak.
Playing at a hall or at a room with few players can increase your winning chances as well, for obvious reasons. Fewer players, less competition - and the bigger your chances for winning. Of course, rooms (especially in online bingo rooms) with fewer players have smaller prize money.
This may seem like a disadvantage but consider this: it’s better to win something smaller than the usual than not win anything at all.
In the end, playing bingo should be done for leisure. While it is possible to play the game and earn from it, it should never be anyone’s goal.
