When it comes to luck, some of us have it and some just don’t.

You’ll know if you’re the kind of person who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. The kind who puts £20 into the fruit machine then walks away in disgust, only to suffer the final indignity of hearing the next player hit the jackpot.

Playing bingo, when it comes down to it, is just a matter of luck. Wherever you play, whether at the local bingo hall or online, there are people who seem to win all the time and others who are perpetually “one number away”.

There’s nothing wrong in trying to change your luck. A large number of people are superstitious, especially when it comes to bingo.

Some folk won’t walk through the doors of the bingo hall unless their lucky heather, rabbit’s foot or lucky marker are in their bag. Some people insist on sitting in the same seat at every session.

It’s harder to translate that to online bingo – you don’t need a marker, and it’s not quite the same to stick your lucky horseshoe on the dining table next to your laptop.
It can be tempting to try and change your luck by buying more tickets, to give yourself a statistically better chance of winning. And, for many people, keeping an eye on multiple cards at the same time is something that comes naturally.

Even if you don’t have quick enough reactions to keep track of multiple tickets, online bingo sites offer an “auto-daub” feature which can automatically mark your cards.

It’s important to keep an eye on how much you are spending, though. If you’ve decided you’re just going to keep playing as many cards as possible until you do win, that can be dangerous. We all have days when nothing goes right, and such a strategy can be very expensive.

Playing bingo at a club means you’re more aware of how much it costs, as you have to pay for each game. With an online bingo site, though, once you’ve entered your credit card details you may not give much thought to how you’re doing overall.
It is a good idea to stick to a daily or weekly limit to how much you’re going to play, and stick to it even if you’ve had no luck.
