Which Bingo is Better for You: the Bingo Hall Vs. the Bingo Chat Room?

March 31st, 2010 | No Comments »

Torn between playing bingo at the bingo hall and playing bingo online? There are many reasons to choose the latter as explained in the following piece.

Optimum Environment

If you’re using a desktop computer, online bingo can be accessed from the comfort of your own home. If you’re using a laptop computer, you can access online bingo halls from virtually anywhere! By taking advantage of this benefit, one does not need to travel, so more game time is enjoyed. Furthermore, if you are playing online you can save countless dollars that would otherwise be spent on food at the bingo hall! Another benefit is being able to have a familiar menu of snacks from your own fridge makes online bingo playing that much more enjoyable.

Socializing at your Fingertips

Another advantage of playing bingo in the comfort of your own home (or coffee shop, or wherever you happen to be) is that it will be a lot less crowded, noisy, and overbearing than the environment of a traditional bingo hall. You won’t have to shout to talk to your friends, and you can listen to your own music whilst effortlessly communicating with thousands of people through the chat features available on most bingo websites.

Instant Gratification

Playing bingo with multiple cards can be difficult for a normal person as the fast pace and unrelenting bingo calls can wear you down. However, while playing bingo online, most websites offer the auto-daub feature, which allows players to purchase and keep track of their card in amounts never before thought possible. The greater amount of cards you purchase increases your odds of winning, and thus one of the greatest parts of bingo is expanded – the winning! The auto-daub feature also leaves one free to chat, removing the awkward silence found in halls during bingo games.

Personality

If playing in a bingo hall, you don’t often get a chance to meet anyone, whereas in online bingo, the fun never stops. The online chat hosts keep the chat bouncing and you can play in special chat games for extra cash which give you even more opportunities to win it big! In bingo halls the caller can be monotonous and repetitive. Whereas with online bingo the variety of callers and the company of the chat hosts, you get the chance to thrive in a dynamic environment online.

Convenient Savings for yourself and the Environment

Bingo is a fun and inexpensive way to gamble. However, it’s the side costs that add up in the real world. Bingo cards cost money and paper to print, and this is reflected in the cost of cards as well as in the garbage that gets put out the back at most bingo halls. The cost of daubers can add up as well. And don’t forget about the precious fuel and time that are consumed on the way to the bingo hall. All of these problems can be easily alleviated by playing online bingo, where the cards are digitally created and disposed of with no more effort than the click of a mouse.

Fast-Paced Action

Online bingo has adapted to suit the pace of the modern world by keeping the games playing with greater alacrity than bingo halls. The auto-daub feature available on most online bingo games makes it easier to keep up with these fun and fast-paced games. This feature helps to eliminate much of the time problems caused by the distribution of real bingo cards, ball drawing, and ball calling. Now you can spend your time watching the numbers fall and chatting with your friends!

Bingo Nights in Modern Times

Ever wanted to host a bingo night/soiree in the comfort of your own home, but never had the resources? Thanks to the convenience of online bingo, every one of your friends with a portable computer can come over, and you could have a network game with just your best friends. Or get everyone to connect to your favorite site at an agreed upon time and you’ll all be chatting and playing the night away! Playing at home provides the additional incentive of selecting the music – always an important bingo component.

All in all, the benefits of playing online bingo far outweigh any of the negative attributes. The convenience, ease of play, and overall fun combined with the home-style atmosphere and comforts add up to a fantastic time whether alone or with friends. Online bingo is never a bad choice when you need a fun way to spend your day.

Can someone help me find a gift for my Aunt, she likes Bingo and is Catholic?

This is for Christmas – I would like it to be close to $20! I have been online trying to figure out what to buy her for a couple of hours now. My Aunt loves Bingo and is also into Christianity. Yet I have no idea what I should get her for Christmas. I was thinking something she could sit on her stand because she is almost always in her one room of the house so to get her something that she could easily look at would be nice.

Print Your Own Bingo Cards

March 30th, 2010 | No Comments »


I’m fairly sure that most people know how to play the game of bingo. For those who don’t, the game is played:

1. Each of the players is given a card. The card contains a grid (usually 5 by 5) with a different number in each square (there is often a special “free space” square in the center of the grid).

2. When play starts, the announcer calls out numbers one at a time. If the number matches an item on their card, players check off the corresponding square.

3. When a player achieves an agreed upon pattern of marked off squares (usually a line of five in any direction, or two overlapping lines of five), he calls out “bingo!”. The first player to do so is the winner.

It is possible to buy ready-to-use bingo cards, but an alternative option is to print the cards yourself using your computer. Printing the cards yourselfm allows you to play themed variants of the standard game. In these variants, the bingo cards are not printed with the usual numbers, but instead contain words, phrases, or perhaps even math problems.

These themed versions of bingo can played as a leisure activity to celebrate holidays or other occassions – for example, if you wanted to play Christmas bingo, you would use words or phrases relating to the holiday. Additionally, themed versions of bingo are increasingly popular in education, especially K-12 and English as a Second Language (ESL) – more and more teachers are printing their own bingo cards, and thus using bingo as a classroom activity.

Understanding Poker Player Types

March 30th, 2010 | No Comments »


More than the starting hands that you are dealt with in a poker game, there are other factors that you need to consider when playing poker. If you remember my article with quotes from famous poker players, you will remember one that described poker as being a card game played with people – or something to that effect.

This cannot be overemphasized.

More than the cards that you hold, you need to know your opponents in order to be a successful poker player. As in most other things, you can classify – albeit loosely – poker players into different categories. Before you go on reading, it is important to bear in mind that this is just a general classification and in reality, you cannot box any person into a single type. There are always gray areas between the classifications and many people would fall under these.

The term “loose” is often associated with inexperienced players. If you are a loose player, then you will play out more hands than necessary. This means playing out even some of the worst starting hands that we discussed in the last post. This attitude can be attributed mainly to lack of experience. If you have decent enough cards, you can take advantage of the loose players at the table and win.

On the other hand, a “tight” player waits for the best starting hand possible. As opposed to the loose player, he folds more often than not. If you know that your opponent is a tight player, you can bluff more often and lure him in. However, if a normally tight player doesn’t fold, he is probably holding something really good.

Then there is the “aggressive” player. This category has two sub-categories, the first of which would be the aggressive loose player. More than just playing out each and every hand that comes his way, the aggressive loose player would even raise the bet – even if he doesn’t have very good cards. He is usually quite the talkative one around the table. The aggressive tight player is somewhere in between the loose and tight player. He may fold several times until he gets the cards he wants – and then he plays like a loose player. He would then bet and raise without a care in the world. Confidence marked in this type of player. Bluffing an aggressive loose tight player is quite a difficult task as he usually knows what he wants.

As mentioned earlier, in real life, classifying people into clear cut groups don’t really work. Personalities vary and so do actions. What is important is that you know the general types of players and then observe your opponents carefully to learn their personal brand of playing. Then you can adjust your own style of play to suit them. You should also be ready to change tactics in mid-play, depending on how your opponents make their moves. Flexibility is the key. Do not fall into the trap of branding people as such and such a player and then boxing him in. That mistake can very well cost you your game!
