Lala's Beginner's Guide To Internet Bingo
Deciding Where To Play !
well this is the biggest problem !.. there are hundreds of Internet Bingo Sites out there and choosing which ones to play at can be mind boggling. For a beginner ( as well as the experienced player ! ) I would recommend Jewel Bingo their software is easy to navigate and use and fully automatic.... it even calls "Bingo" for you so you don't have to worry about missing your win !
Basically on the internet you will find 2 types of bingo games. Free Play ( or For Fun ) & Pay-2-Play.
Free Play is just as the name suggests. You don't pay any money to play in the game. Some of the Free Games give away prizes based on purchasing a "draw ticket" with the points you have won playing bingo. These games are good for the beginner as they give you good grounding and experience before moving on to Pay-2-Play games.
If you enjoy the excitement of gambling or competitive games then you will at some point move onto Pay-2-Play bingo games. After all "Free Fun" games will only hold your attention for so long before they become rather boring and we all like being rewarded for our wins? The downside of "For Fun" sites is that you win game after game of bingo and then nothing ? No competitive excitement.. after all .. what is there to get excited about ? you just won another game.. so what ?.. hummmm .. isn't gambling supposed to be exciting and give you a thrill as well as being rewarded for your efforts ?
Pay-2-Play …. Now this is where the real action is at, and again as the name say's you pay money to play the bingo game and have the chance to win money back ! ( hopefully at a profit ! ) Pay-2-Play games are very exciting and competitive. You play against a room full of people who all want to hit that big Jackpot ! … Bingo is very much a "game of chance" there is not a lot you can do to change the odds of winning except the obvious .. which is .. you got more chance of hitting a win if you are playing 25 cards then playing with 1 card ! .. that's based on mathematical "odds" and probability. But my years of being an avid bingo player has shown me that many many players win big time playing with fewer cards … just the other day I was playing merrily on a site when one of the players called bingo and hit the main Jackpot of over $4000 ! .. after she had got her breath back and stopped trembling she told us all that she normally plays with about 25 cards .. but that her luck had been down and she had gone down to playing 3 cards.. when she hit the jackpot she had only been playing with 3 cards !! $4000 + for only 75 cents !... now that's called BINGO !... This just proves that you don't need to be a big spender in order to feel the thrill and excitement of playing bingo.
