A friend of mine, whom I haven't seen in quite sometime, came to visit the other weekend. We were sitting around chatting and I suggested the we go down to the VFW and play Bingo! After the game she said that she was never a big fan of the game and thought it was boring

Who can not like the game of bingo!! OMG!

Oh no

Well, at least you got to hang out for the night, and at least she was honest enough to say she didn't enjoy it that much so you know not to invite her to go do that again.

Took me a few games to like it. I had too hard a time finding where to make my dauber dots - played too many cards and had no idea what I was getting into.

It was stressful!

My very first ever trip to a bingo hall was with my mother in law... I went out and played in the main hall with my hubby (his first visit as well) While my mom in law played in a lil bingo room..

both her and I are smokers.. so thats not why we weren't in the same place... But I really am not sure now why she was in that lil room.. maybe it was speed bingo?

Anyway, hubby and I were clueless!!! And at a table all alone! no clue what we were doing at all! LOL We did by the end of the game learn that we played bonanza backwards.. who knows what else we screwed up :P

After the game, I played T-up (speed bingo) with my mom in law.. hubby watched

I'm sure I missed a few daubs, but I had lotsa fun... and I bought n bought n bought every game.. after all, 1 card was only 50cents right?

I spent about $300 bux that night! :O I had no idea till I went home and counted the cash..

I later learned to play and love the game! Hubby has never been back! hehe

bingo is a game that requires patience and focus. If people doesn't like this game or even appreciate it. They see life in a pessimist point of view...

I used to go to bingo alot, but that was years ago. I won the $1000 cookie jar once and the $300 cookie jar another time. But that was 30 years ago. And yes, they had bingo back in the day. Rofl.

I think people attraction to bingo is winning. You guys can correct me if I'm wrong, lol. I went on a cruise last year and some people spent everyday playing bingo.

i thinlk partly the attraction is winning but i think the other is getting out of the house and away form hubby and kids and for me it was the getting away lol but thats just my point of view
