The Secrets Bingo Players Keep

If you talk to most Bingo players you will find each of us has a plan or routine that helps us to win. Specifically, I mean those smoke-filled stink joints I go to two to three times a week. I have been to the online joints, but was never intrigued enough to spend any time with them.

I talked to three of my "Bingo Girls," and one said she did not want to participate in my informal interview when I asked her about her winning secrets. Indignant she was!

The second blew me a raspberry and explained she had no secrets to divulge other than tapping the needed-to-win number with her chip (this Bingo hall has cardboard cards on each desk that you may change out between games, and chips to cover the called numbers with). I also noticed she gets up several times between games to get cards from other desks.

The third explained that she has absolutely no gimmicks, no hairless troll dolls, nothing. I also noticed she doesn't win that often.

So, now we are at the fourth player. That would be me. I have a few secrets, and I win much more than I ever have, as my gimmicks and hairless troll dolls have evolved over the years.

The first thing I do upon entering a Bingo hall is to "Release all negativity into the white light." Sometimes, I forget this, but I usually remember when negativity starts trying to creep into my mind. It could be something small, such as noticing the lady to the left of me with the gawd-awful purse, hint of autopsy perfume, and socks with balls at the heels. I became more aware of positivity sometime this year, as my blog progresses and negativity couldn't possibly work for me. Could it? No.
