Who Plays Bingo?

Not just the scratch card bingo, the actual hall bingo?
Just got in from a trip to the bingo hall (lol bored on a sat night) and its only our second time going, but it seems like people who constantly play it win more. whats your take on it? do you go? often or special occasions? what is your superstions relating to it? do you have any lucky things you take with you? I think its cute to see people there with teddies, and coins and odd stuff...lol

I dont play, I find it boring, but I once had a job working in a hall years ago.
You have to figure IF your chances are 1 in 10 of winning (for illustrative purposes only), if you play 10x you'll win 1x. If you play 100 times, you'll win 10x, so yes, play more= win more (as well as lose more).
There were people we called "regulars" who were there EVERY DAY. Some were nice, some were bitter and miserable. Attendance ALWAYS increased around the time of the month when the welfare checks went out. Some were the typical "little old ladies" and some were actually really attractive 20-something girls. Definitely more women than men, although for some it was a "couples thing to do on an evening.

I personally think gambling brings out the worst in some people so I dont go.
