manipulates the card server
First thing Belle, is the WHOLE online bingo game is nothing but a software program, whether it be Byworth, Parlay, or some other software. For a long time we wondered about the randomness of the balls called. I still don't go for it when i see pattern after pattern that absolutely targets the letter rows ( B-I-N-G-O) that you need the least for a specific pattern, forcing the game to last the time period it is programmed to play. How can that be considered random?
"Manipulating the software" according to my husband, who is a programmer, is not something that can be done by the push of a button. Features must be REprogrammed, to do anything different that what they were written to do.
Now, do I think some sites can "manipulate" players accounts to give them more cards, which enables their ability to have an edge over other players? ABSOLUTELY YES I DO! Do I think some online sites have "ghost accounts" filled with max bbs and prepurchased for max every game? Again, YES I do!!
I will probably go to my grave trying to figure out what, in my gut, just "isn't right" about the online bingo games. Trust the site operators of the site that you play in. Search yourself for the REASON you play... is it the gambling or is it the friendships, or a combination of both?
But... I do sit in chat for 8 hours a day, 6 days a week and what seems to some the same winners day in and day out, changes on a daily basis. I see new players win win win.. then they go to they "win enough to keep playing for a bit" and on to the "couldn't win if I were the only one playing" part.
My advice, given from what I have seen is... choose 2 bingo sites you like to play. Play ONLY x amt of time every day. NO LONGER. Play the same amount of cards. And do not even log back in until tomorrow.... I have seen it work too many times. Those who play 24/7 or as close to it as they can get, sooner lose their bloomers than those who have conditioned themselves to schedule of play that enables them to win 2 or 3 games a day during their 2 hour time period. And a word to the wise.... MAXING CARDS DOES NOT MAKE YOU WIN MORE!
Thanks for bringing this back up again Belle, we needed to be refreshed on it!!
