The whole idea of Bingo is based upon a lottery backbone, therefore there is no such thing as a universal strategy to win the game. We cannot possibly manipulate or somehow affect the outcome of this lotto, and we cannot exactly predict what numbers we'll get. Basically, maths here is of no use, so is a hope to develop a universal strategy for Bingo. Therefore, the only strategy is to follow some basic rules. These rules are not necessarily a 100% guarantee of a good fortune, but they may slightly increase your chances to leave the game as a winner.
Basic strategies
- Chose a Bingo venue wisely. It has to be a place with a high percentage of getting a payment for your winning. A simple indicator like this is simply defined by the ratio of the money paid by the participant to the money he expends. The payout percentage can vary from 65 to 90%. For example: the average payout ratio playing gaming machines might be 90-98%, and 99.5% via Video Poker. To be fair, it is extremely difficult to find out the exact revenue of any Bingo place. Therefore, if you have a particular gambling establishment or an online casino optionin mind and at the same time there is an opportunity to check the exact payout ratio, you should by all means do that.
- Buy as many Bingo tickets as you like and play simultaneously. Here lies a simple mathematial law: the more tickets are involved in the game, the higher the odds to win. We have to admit, though, that sometimes you may face a limit on buying Bingo tickets. However, if you play Bingo at an online casino, there's no restrictions on purchasing the tickets - you can buy as many as you wish.
- If you have a chance to limit the number of participants of the game, do it. The odds of winning are always higher when you choose to play Bingo with fewer participants. This element of the strategy is mostly relevant in terms of online Bingo, of course.
Introducing Tippett's Theory
Let's start by acknowledging the fact that this strategy is only suitable for a traditional Bingo game (75 balls & standard lines). The strategy was developed by a British scientist Leonard Henry Caleb Tippett who was widly involved with statistic studies and published several scientific papers on the role of science in gambling industry. Tippett's strategy is fairly simple: it claims that the probability of matching certain numbers increases with the duration of the game. The longer game runs, the higher the odd that one ball will drop out of the machine close enough to 38 (as to the average number in the range from 1 to 75).
So the good basis of the strategy is really in choosing a card close enough to 38 unless it's time-consuming. But if the game itself doesn't take that much time, Tippett's strategy isn't relevant, and you can choose from the standard card with any number between 1 and 75.
The Granville Theory
Joseph E. Granville is a creator of a fairly simple strategy. All you need to do is choose potentially winning cards based on the results of the previous game.
Joseph E. Granville was a very talanted mathematician and analyst, a famous creator of a number of very successful strategies for stock exchange.
According to his theory of probability, there're 3 main aspects:
- There will be about the same number of the balls with numbers ending with 1, 2, 3, 4, etc;
- There will roughly be a balance of high and low numbers;
- There will be roughly a balance of odd and even numbers.
Soin the end of the day this system is a simple 'test for eventuality' and, so to speak, a nice complementing bonus to the Tippett's strategy. They can be used or should be used together to multiply the chances of leaving the game as a sole winner!
Putting theories into practice
First of all, you need to consider the three main aspects of the Granville Theory and confirm the winning number in the first draw. The game often comes to an end after the first 10 to 12 drop-out numbers. The analysis might suggest the winning combination and a chance not to leave the room as a sole winner are running a bit higher in the next drawing. So by putting this information into practice you can choose a card with a higher chance of scoring the pot. For example, let's assume that the first winning number in a the next draw should be 31. From this point onwards, the likelihood that the second number that also will end on 1 is less probable (according to the first principle of the theory). And vice versa: the chance that drop-out numbers are going to be the ones that end with 2, 3, 4, is much more higher.
Therefore, if the first draw was a card with numbers ending with 1-3, the eventuality to score in the second drawing with a similar card are much lower. So you should choose the card where numbers end with 2, 4, 5, etc. If you won the lottery in a second draw with the card consisting of the numbers ending with 5 and 9, the third draw and the eventuality to win on the same terms are close to none again.
By aknowledging the results of previous draws, all you are left to do is to choose the card with the consistency of the numbers like 1, 3, 5 and 9.
