Messy cards

[LadyHoldem]

I've done this so many times myself, that I thought it was worth a mention! I tend to daub and redaub the cards as I go along.. by the time I am finished with a ca, there isnt a white space left on the card.

I also generally use two colors on feature games, for instance.. 5 wild, I daub all of the wilds in one color, and then switch to another color and daub the called numbers..

Well the other night, a lady daubed the heck out of her card, she would have won 1199.. but her card was unreadable, she'd even daubed out the card number on the top.. she was not paid, as the card could not be verified.

You know most places now have the rule...you have to use one color. In other words...you said you used 2 colors..one for wild and one for others...that would void your win!

Just like with online bingo...gotta read those T&C's.

I think if you are going to throw a bingo party you should use custom printed cards. That way only furnished inks or daubs and counters can work. Bingo parties are more fun when they are less "general".

I've seen problems with the verifying too. Only when I saw it happen, it wasnt because of over daubing, it was over gluing!

You know how some ladies glue their specials together with paper cards? So they stay put while daubing....

Well, this lady used so much glue and she glued right over the numbers (printed on the sides of the card at this particular hall - which is uncommon and she hadn't noticed it unfortunately)
So, they had to seperate the cards to get the numbers and of course the paper tore, and the numbers were unreadable, so she was not paid either. They did give her a "consolation gift" of a box of chocolates and a vertif for $5 off her next admission hooray

woooooo chocolates hehe, I'm sure they were trying to make her feel better, but i dunno that might just be the straw that..
