Lucky Numbers and Superstitions in Bingo
09/05/2008

Like all aspects of gambling, people feel more confident when they are playing in their own superstitious way with their lucky numbers. Over the years these factors have made the game of bingo much more thrilling for people to play. Clearly with all the numbers on a common 90-ball game people have the option of picking a variety of their favourite numbers that inevitably will hopefully increase their chances of winning. At the same time, people who are superstitious fell more confident in playing the game if perhaps they are wearing their favourite socks or playing at a certain time of day. All these different tactics chosen by the player to help improve their odds of winning ultimately make this fun game more enjoyable for everyone playing bingo, both land and online.

Looking in detail at the lucky numbers in bingo it is very clear as to the reasons why players feel at ease playing certain bingo cards and would not even entertain the idea of playing a card that doesn’t feature any of their preferred numbers. By nature we are all human and all have instincts. The majorities of people are superstitious and consequently have a variety of numbers that are associated with them in a good way. If we compare bingo to the way our friends and family choose their lottery numbers we often talk about how the numbers chosen all refer to birthdays, house numbers or generated through individual names. Bingo players often purchase cards in batches of their lucky number. For example if a particular player had a lucky number of 21, she may only want to play in games where she could purchase the corresponding amount of tickets.

We all talk about the time, which if we were to change are numbers and pick a random selection, the winning line would be our lucky numbers – sod’s law! As a result, we would reluctantly change our set ways in playing our favourite games. Bingo is no different.

Lucky charms are commonly used in bingo for those of us who are superstitious when it comes to gambling. Although some players may not feel comfortable admitting they use a charm, you can be sure that a significant number do, whether it is hidden or not. You may see a rabbit’s foot next to the computer keyboard but they may also wear their favourite red woolen jumper even if it is boiling hot outside just to increase their hopes of winning!
