How to develop ‘Bingo eye’

I love to watch the Bingo Babes that play what looks like a gazillion cards. With lightening speed they daub every number, very rarely missing one. These Babes have developed what I call Bingo eye. It is a technique that can be mastered with a little practice.

First let me remind you how organized they are. Their papers are all taped together and stacked in the order the games are played. Daubers, coffee cups and their personal chachkas are lined up neatly out of the way. They always locate themselves with a clear view of the monitor to quickly be able to check their numbers. These are basic practices that all Bingo players should use. I know I repeat this often, but these practices will help not only you, but everyone around you.

So now…Let me explain Bingo Eye…

First look at the Bingo Board. You will learn quickly which numbers fall under which letter.

• The “B” row are numbers 1 – 15
• The “I” row are numbers 16 – 30
• The “N” row are numbers 31 – 45
• The “G” row are numbers 46 – 60
• The “O” row are numbers 61 – 75

So as you can see, it is not necessary to look at all the numbers on the card because you know the number 32, for example, will always be in the N row. This is very important to know in speed games when the LETTER is not called.

We have been taught to read numbers from left to right. Your brain would see the number 32 and read it 3 + 2.
But at Bingo you will learn to read the numbers backwards.

Say you are looking for “N-32”.

As you go down the “N” row you should read the numbers backwards. Instead of looking at the entire number (3 + 2), you should only be looking for the 2. When you locate a 2, then you back into the number to see if it is 32 or a 42. It could only be one of those 2 numbers. You know this because the N row only contains the numbers 31 through 45 right? Just making sure you were paying attention.

It takes some practice to retrain your brain not to complete the task of reading every entire number, and to learn to skim over any number that does not end in a 2.

Research shows that playing Bingo keeps your brain in peek mental form. After a while you will have built in radar, and your Bingo eye will allow the number you are looking for to actually jump right up at you.

So don’t feel guilty about canceling your membership at the gym. Physical exercise will tone up your body, but the game of Bingo enhances your mental speed, observation skills and memory?

When you play Bingo you will not only keep your mind sharp, but you will also build mighty muscles in your butt that will enable you to sit for long periods of time. Ha! So even on the nights that you lose…You still win!
