Babys,

a dyed in the wool is not a negative term. It simply means you are a genuine, authentic true to heart , can not be changed kind of person. A dyed in the wool addict simply means you are addicted to bingo! I see nothing negative about that...even if you are not a bingo addict..many are and I do not consider that negative or a bad thing at all.
Sorry you misconstrued that.

alright... first of all, as I explained to BAbys,,dyed in the wool is not a negative term...GET IT? Someone could be a dyed in the wool housecleaner...workaholic... lover...car fanatic...get it? You asked me to tell you..so there it is!

The letter you are quoting from to bingo logic was to the hallmanager who is refusing to pay a player who they have CHEATED!
That was for informational purposes to the members of this forum.If it was you that a bingo site had cheated, would you want me to be all loving and pleasant to them? Stern language is sometimes called for and that was my decision. I do not get involved with trying to recover money for a player that has been defrauded only to be censored by someone who has nothing to lose or gain as a result of my attempt! If you do not approve of my approach, I apologize, but one has to do what they think will be most effective.

I am entitled to an opinion as anyone else is..YOU or anyone does not have to agree with me!
And I do think that anyone who deposits at a site would like to win..occasionally. And if they say they dont care and do not need to win..why play in a pay game? That is my opinion! If you dont agree. that is your right,but I certainly do not consider that name calling! I was simply remarking on what I have personally witnessed and expressing my OPINION on it!
And when and if the time becomes ripe that I must explain myself to ANYONE in detail or apologize for my opinions, I hope to GOD I am getting paid for it.

they may all be your opinions and that great might be a letter to a bingohall that cheat someone again not the point the only point was and still is you did call and or use nagitive names. but said you do not do that. that is and still is the only point i wanted to make and i made it. and that is my opinion as well as fact! thats why i posted your quotes so it could be seen that you in fact did call and use names doesnt matter why. I didnt even say it wasnt needed at times. As a admin or (someone more then a member) for bpu i felt in my opinion that you shouldnt be saying you NEVER call names or used negitive. Thank you for letting me also post my opinions

justwatching.
I said I have NOT called any names during the discussion going on. I have , nor never will claim I have never used a negative name! Of course it was the discussion I was speaking of, Not my entire life in review! Who could claim they have never uttered a negative word their entire life?
I dislike having to use base reasoning and speech to get a point across, but I am not beneath it either. When it becomes necessary, and I feel that is the language someone best understands, I speak their lingo! When in Rome, do as the romans do.

When and if I have the desire to offend, either by gesture or word, No one will have to guess what I am saying or what my intent is.
Perhaps you took it to mean I have never, ever used negative words, street language or bad names.I have and most probably will again in my lifetime, but in the case of this forum discussion, no, I did not.

I sincerely apologize to anyone that I have offended, it was not my intent.
My opinions still stand!!!!!!!!!lol

The number one site would be Bingomania and an other is Cyberbingo, of course with Cyber I haven't played there since the new bill came into affect and I'm now seeing negative things about them. Never saw anything negative about them before. The last one I can think of is Bingonanza of course they are closed now but thier U.K site is still up and running. When Nanza closed everyone got prior notice and it was done in a respectable way as well.

If you don't think calling someone an addict is not insulting then you better look up the term. Being addicted to anything is a bad thing not a good thing, no matter what kind of spin you want to put on it. I am the furthest thing from being addicted to gambling, I might put in 8 hours a week to online gambling, is that what you call addicted? It is not the dyed in the wool part I am referring to either, it's the addict part. And would like to remind you that you said this to me in THIS discussion.

Babys,
I can't speak for Dyna, but I'll tell you when posting that you're an addict of bingo, I didn't mean it in an offensive way, but in a way that says you're (as dyna put it) a dyed in the wool, diehard that isn't giving her bingo up no matter what. You believe you have a safe place to play, and I'm glad you do. I also have never seen or heard anything bad about BingoMania. It's the place I will play if I just can't stand not playing. I just recently did play a few bucks there cuz I was missing my bingo action. I used to dump A LOT of money into bingo, and I don't feel confident doing that anymore at any site, but BingoMania seems to be the one site that hasn't dumped on its players as of yet. I use the term bingo addict loosely when I use it. I don't believe being addicted to a fun activity (unless bills aren't paid and sickness ensues) is a bad thing. I'm addicted to food, not a good thing. Truthfully, I'd trade my food addiction for bingo addiction any day of the week. I apologize to you if you think I meant differently. I meant it in the context that there's no convincing you that you might be wrong, and please don't think I'm saying you are wrong. That's just the context I meant it in. I'll restate it the way I meant it to clear it up. "Might as well save our breath, Dyna, she's a bingo lover from way back that ain't givin her bingo up no matter what we say here." And if that's offensive to you also, then I'm sorry for that too, but that's more the context I meant it in. I do apologize for presuming to know you. But, by now I do know enough about you to know that you are as stong willed as I am in your beliefs. KUDOS that you are.

We, neither one are wrong for having the feelings we have, nor are we 100% right. I'm wrong in many aspects of my posting (personal attacks) but I'm not wrong in feeling the way I feel, nor are you.

I can be right.

I can be wrong.

I am right.

I am wrong.

(OMG did I just say that outloud? PLEASE DON'T TELL MY HUSBAND I EVER ADMITTED I WAS WRONG, LOL)

Brenmatt thanks for your apology, I really appreciate it. But I would like to know why you and Dyna are trying to get me not to play online bingo? Why would anyone stop playing if they don't have a problem funding or making a withdrawl?

As for Bingomania I have been playing there a long time and I have never had a problem with them, or heard from anyone in chat that has had a problem. Their office staff is the best I have ever seen, very fast and efficient, and the site always does the right thing by it's players. Just recently they ran a Mother's Day Tourney and so many people in the room caused the room to crash, although all the games were played not all people could get in to see them. It was a fair and square tourney where everyone had the same amount of cards so even if you couldn't be there your cards would play. They ended up playing 4 extra $500 games so they gave away $7000.00 instead of the $5000 that was suppose to be given out. They got alot of tickets and emails from players mad because they couldn't see all the games played, so you know what bingomania did? They ran the whole tourney over again the next weekend free of charge to those that had already paid for it before. The site ended up losing a great deal of money by doing this but they did it anyway. Now that's the kind of site I will stay loyal to. Also they have no pre-buy option there, I like that because house players are too easy to put in the game when a site has that option. This tells me the site is looking out for the player and not to line their own pockets, because I'm sure they would make a pile more money if they had pre-buy in place.

I know many addicts. I love my uncle dearly and of course my first love Both very much alcohol and drug addicts. Does not make them bad, nor do I personally think it is mean. They love their beer and drugs and that is their choice.
I, myself fell once amongst the addict list when it comes to bingo but I can proudly say I know longer carry that name. I don't think I was a bad person then and even if I was still playing and addicted to the game, I would still be great loveable me ~! ;))

Please do not take offense to that word, its meaning does not ever make you a bad or evil person ;)

The reason I know that to be fact is because a few sites that I have played at I have never had a problem with and have NEVER seen a bad thing posted or written about them anywhere, so in my books that's an honest site that doesn't cheat don't you think?


We have so been looking forward to hearing about some honest & fair site(s) please do share with all of us who these are.



Babys said :

Thank you so much for your input. I played cyber for a bit. I didn't like it much. I heard great things about Bingonanza but I didn't play as I was playing too many others at the time. Too bad they are not still around for Americans, I think I would have gave them a shot ~! ;) As for Bingomania.... I heard rumors of house peeps so I steered cleared. I of course did not know that to be fact but at that time I knew first hand from Zany what I would have been up against if that were to be true.

Again thank you for your input and please do not take offense for liking online bingo. Playing the game can be great fun WE ALL KNOW THAT,,, but some of us ( me included ) are a bit more hesitant considering I have been burnt one time too many. I still love the game, just wish like hell it was regulated as do we all I am sure.

I didn't say the person who is an addict is bad, I said being addicted to something is, and I don't appreciate being called one when I am not. My husbands cousin was addicted to alcohal and he hated that he was but there was nothing he could do about it, and it killed him. He left behind 3 young children. He was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and a wonderful father.

Ibeen said:



Sorry but I am hugely offended by it and nothing anyone says will change that.

There is highrollers there that go after the big jackpots so they win alot but they could be people maxing out cards to try and win the big jackpot. I heard through the grapevine that a jackpot of $30,000 was won by someone that put a second ** on their house to try and win the PJP and almost lost her house doing it, she ended up winning the $30,000 lucky for her, but in my opinion how dumb is that to almost lose you house over online bingo. Her name was a name you saw all the time winning but if she had to mortage her house to do it, then she must have lost more than she won until she hit the big jackpot. Because there is no pre-buy option I feel there are no house players there. I have personally seen the highrollers in chat at one time or another asking the hosts questions about specials etc, and playing the chat games from time to time. But big winners tend to stay out of chat because sometimes you get people in chat that get mad at the same person winning a lot of the games, so really I don't blame them for staying out of chat.

I would really like to know how you only deposit thirty dollars a month and withdrawl more than that. I dont know too many ppls if any that can say that. I know i cannot. I have deposited hundreds in a month and never made a withdrawl. Do you know something I do not, if so please let me know. And you cant be maxing out on cards you would be broke very quick. Just curious. PoohBear42

I DO play bingo, and I would love to have a clue on depositing 30 for a month and withdrawing big $$$$.
I think we all would! lol Please share.

I did this at Bingonanza and Amigo Bingo, but did it at Amigo a couple of years ago when the site didn't have as many members. The way I play bingo is the smart way, not the way to win all the time, because in the long run you will lose more than you win. I never went after Jackpots and Coverall games. I would buy in the quarter room min cards for patterns that aren't crazy, you know the ones that don't move lol. But for games that are crazy like the one line, two line etc I would buy 10 or more cards because your chances of winning are much higher on those types of games. I never ever bought max cards. They also had special $100.00 games that cost $1.00 per card I would pre-buy 1 sometimes 2 cards per game on those and would win at least once a day and be able to cashout $100 or sometimes $200.00 at a time. So when I won those I would keep some money to play with in the quarter room and the games I won in the quarter room would fund playing the $1.00 games lol. Also when they had the .50 cent room open I would play in there because it was set pots. There were not a lot of big spenders at Nanza so you only had to buy limited cards and I would win quite often in there. Most people thought since it cost 50 cents per card it was too costly, but if you win it really isn't, so there were limited amounts of people you were playing against. It's a system I thought up and it worked. It will not work at a site that has a ton of people playing however. Bingonanza was fairly new so you were never playing against to many people at one time. Also choose the right time of day or week to play, like between days that they give out the big deposit bonuses, on those days that they give you extra bonus for deposits you are competing against more people, and weekends is a bad time as well. Watch for set pots to play on those off days when there are not many people around, that's when you can make a lot of money. I hope I have explained this well enough and I hope this helps ya.

Babys, I have to agree with you (don't faint LOL). That IS smart bingo playing. And I can indeed see how that would work. To a degree. But, you spoke in PAST TENSE here. You talked about sites when they were newer and didn't have as many players. Bingonanza closed up shop so there is no more playing there. Amigo Bingo (I wouldn't drop a dime in Amigo because of their rules and their deposit rule of not being able to deposit unless you drop to $19 or below) it sounded to me like, you aren't playing there any longer, so that's also past tense. You've mentioned playing at Bingo Mania most recently in your posts. Do you still play there? They have lots of people playing there, so I'm wondering what your play pattern is there. Could you let us know? I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm really interested in your current theory and play pattern.

I have been playing at bingomania a bit the last few days. had a few bonus bucks left from the last time I ventured there until I got tired of losing. I gained a few bucks on the slot and lost them again.lol The bingo is hardly worth playing unless you max...or something. The single game I won was for 2.40. It seems a nice site with the cm being very cordial, the players are friendly to newbies,but it sure is tough to win a game. I think 8 people playing..pots under 5 dollars and I still couldnt win. I dont know how you all play, but having to spend more than one third of the pot price to win a pot under 5 is nothing I am happy with. I played until I saw one player win 4 times in a row right after she said she been there for 8 years , so i made an exit to the slots and proceeded to go bust there!lol

Due to my increased hours recently at work I don't get to play as much any more, but when I do play it's at BingoMania now that Nanza is closed. Since Mania doesn't have the pre-buy option (which I like) I don't get to play nearly as often as I did at Nanza. I stopped playing at Amigo due to their rules constantly changing and changing to very dumb rules. For instance the last one that pissed me off the most so that I never went back was: "unless you deposit every I think 7 or 10 days you can't get into the chat room" What kind of a dumb A$$ rule is that? Anyway my system does work at Mania if you know when to play and when not to play.

Dyna I don't know what room you were playing in but I have never seen the pots that low unless you were in the nicknacks room. I never play in there not even for set pots. BingoMania has 6 or 7 pay rooms, and I tend to stay away from the nickle rooms they have. I play mostly in the quarter room and dollar room and of course the 50 cent room. Because in the 50 cent room they run 3 part games so you get 3 games for the price of one, and you can't beat that lol. I have won numerous times only playing one card per game in the dollar room, and the pots in there are huge. I thiink the main reason for that is that max cards is only 24 in all the rooms, unless it's a coverall or set pot game, then max is 50 cards. I only play at sites that have low max cards, because it gives a person like me that doesn't like to play many cards a one time, a fair chance of winning. I played at one site where max cards was 100, can you believe that? Needless to say I never went back never even came close to winning a game, I think I might have gotten down to 4tg once lol.

One of the things I like at Mania is they have 3 withdrawal days a week and never any hassle making a withdrawal, I don't even think there is a set number of days between deposits to qualify for a withdrawal either. Actually come to think of it I am sure I read somewhere that at Easter when Mania gave everyone that made a deposit in the past, $5 bucks to play, that one person won off of the $5 dollars, that had not deposited there in 2 years, and was allowed to withdraw it, you can't beat that right? As for the slots I stay away from the slots at all sites, even though some people win big on them, I think they are just a tool to suck your money out of your pocket as fast as it can lol. I think if the people that win big off of slots keep track of how much they spend on them, odds are they are spending way more than they are winning. And you can't win chat bbs playing slots lol.
