Online Bingo Myths

Bingo, as with all other gambling activity, has its fair share of myths and legends that accompany the game.

The only way a good online bingo site will attract other players to the site is by having winner, it is the best form of promotion for the site.

It has also been said that online bingo players who regularly win are using some kind of secret method of beating the system, the probability of this is absolutely nil, just as the land based form of the game is fair and randomized, so too is online bingo. It is just a case of sheer good luck, people who believe that they are lucky are generally good winners.
