By all accounts British bingo players have a reputation for being a superstitious lot. By the same token, many of these players also seem to have the most uncanny luck! Luck is something that nothing is really able to account for, it cannot be calculated by complicated computer algorithms, or any branch of science, luck just IS! While many people believe they are not lucky, others believe they are and believe it or not, the person who believes they are lucky generally is.
Although some people may argue the point, that this is a science, the laws of attraction state that if you think and act as though something has already happened, it will actually happen. And this is what happens with lucky people, they know they are lucky, so they are. The fact that they might need a lucky charm or ritual to ensure their continued good luck is besides the point. All this does is reinforce their belief that luck follows them wherever they go.
Bingo is a complete game of chance; the laws of probability dictate this so there is no getting past the fact, so when we play, we need all the luck we can muster to win. So what is really interesting in this discussion is the strange and wonderful things lucky people use to improve on their belief that they are already lucky. We have seen people who check their daily horoscopes, if the horoscope is bingo related, even better. So we see that quite a few online bingo sites make use of these services, some even offer birth charts from famous astrologists as prizes. One name which regularly crops up at online bingo sites, is Russell Grant, he is a favorite for bingo players.
Lucky seats are a big thing, and a bingo player who believes they have a lucky seat at a bingo hall, will only play in that seat, woe betide anyone if they are found sitting in it. Even online bingo players have their lucky bingo playing chair. This is more than likely just because the chair is comfortable so the player is better able to concentrate on the game and relax.
Lucky charms consist of many different things not least of which, lucky socks, jewellery, a rabbits foot, troll dolls, lucky dice, teddies are a favourite, pet rocks, lucky pants, colours, and lucky dabbers are all grist for the mill of the UK bingo player in search of that extra bit of luck.
