The Life and Times of a Bingo Player

31 March 2012

We see it all the time, a gambler wins and they are on cloud nine but when they are on a losing streak head for the hills because they can be as sour as day old milk!

Winning feels great as we shout from the rooftops “look at me mum I’m on top of the world” but losing is not one of our favorite ideas of having a good time.

I like to equate the ups and downs to gambling to a rose. The petals are soft, aromatic and beautiful but the thorns will prick your finger. In order to appreciate the beauty, there has to be an element of the downside.

Imagine a world where everything was perfect and every online bingo site you were a winner on every single game? Now, now I know what you’re thinking “works for me” right? But in reality how could we ever appreciate the finer things in life if everything was always a bed of roses.

There is nothing more thrilling than coming off a losing streak and winning. It has to be the biggest high for any gambler.

And should we really be complaining when we lose? After all gambling is a gamble. A gambler is a risk taker which means even though the odds may be stacked up against them and the house has the edge it’s still a risk worth taking.

Then why do we hate to lose and pout when we do knowing that losing is a probability. For the most part a gambler is complex. A gambler is in it to win it and they have a very competitive edge. It goes with the territory of every player. Without that competitive streak half the thrills would be missing.

The name of the game is about winning and losing and there is no other way to get around it. So the next time you find yourself whining about losing just remember it will make that winning bingo that much more exciting.

Progressive Jackpots, Jackpot Slots, Instant Wins are what make every loss worth losing because the high beats the low every time. So grab that dauber, pull that tab on Instant Games and spin those reels and you will win not all the time, but some of the time!

I say give me the thorns with every rose, besides no one ever promised us a rose garden
