Through out the years we’ve received numerous comments that the same players win over and over again and the response has always been that bingo is a game of odds, the more bingo cards you purchase the greater your chance at winning the bingo game.
Recently I had our database guy run a report that showed us the player activity in each bingo room. This report showed us the number of bingo games played in each room between a specific period and the average of bingo cards purchased per game per player along with their winning percentage.
The Purpose of this report
The purpose of this report was to help us understand the reason(s) why some players win more than other players and hopefully in return be able to use the results to create a better online bingo experience for you.
The Results
Players who played at least the minimum average cards per bingo game had a higher winning percentage than those who purchased below the average cards purchased per game.
My response was “EXCELLENT – This makes sense!” But how in the world can this report help our players?
Well the answer is simple – Why not show the average cards being purchased for each game in the bingo room in real time?
For example, let’s say you are playing in the high paying CyberBingo Diamond room for a $15,000 coverall minimum $200 prize in 75 calls and there are 40 players with one (1) minute to last call for cards, you will be able to see the average cards purchased by the 39 other players in that bingo game and if necessary purchase a few more cards to better your chance.
The Benefits to you
This way you can clearly measure your odds per game with the number of players in the game and average bingo cards purchased per player for that game.
You can then decide to buy more cards to increase your chances or play with your chosen number of bingo cards.
Will be Available Soon
This feature will be available to you in the next couple of weeks as part of our upcoming CyberBingo room updates. As we get closer to the upgrade date, I will be able to share with you more on the new upgrades and what they mean to your online bingo experience with us.
Until next time, best of luck!
Excellent idea, great job Cyber.

I have increased my buying and it makes no difference CB is taking 40% that much I have been able to calculate....its a no lose for u...however i have a big problem when someone appears for the first time, wins all day and then takes the 10.000.00 at the end of the day, it certainly looks fishy!!!!!

Great idea! I've seen the same winners over and over also and have often wondered if they're maxing every game. We see how much they win, but how much are they losing? I know we could never see that, but I tried maxing once and you do win a lot more, but you lose even more! I really like the avg card idea. Keep up the good work.

I have been playing in Cyber Bingo for many years now and see many players come and go but one thing is for sure, some players are just luckier than others. Some names come up over and over again and I can only imagine how much these people are spending!!!! I buy the average amount of cards I am sure and have my winning and losing streaks... I still think this is the most honest bingo on line Great Job Her Again

I know what you all mean!
I have been playing here for years and I sometimes win "big" like a hundred here and there once in a great while.
But, this is still a good site.

I liked it so much better when you won a game and the sound and lights went off. It made you feel like you were special. I also found the games more interesting when we used to play all the games not just a select few like now. We always played games like two lines, three lines, snake, first person to get six numbers on one card ect. For bordoms sake--let's bring some of the fun games out of the archives.

Like Red 13 posted above, I too, miss having a variety of games like two lines and three lines, etc. It does get boring playing the same set of games over and over every hour. Also, you must be able to see that people have favorite games they like to play, such as 6 pack, 9 pack. Those jackpots are always higher. I wonder why those games aren't played more often. A large variety would probably do well, with no repeats for at least two hours. Also, I miss getting your newsletter in my email. I haven't seen one in months. But, all in all, Cyberbingo is the best there is on the net.

I quit!!! been playing off and on for five years and I am tired of the same people playing always wins.I spend just as much money here as they do and I don't win all day and turn around and get the big pots seems I am only capable to win the low jackpots. I have max and I have picked a few and never win .When someone aka the same group are playing forget it I have no chance .As for the free draws forget that also the same people winning all day get those too.I am not buying it anymore just can't believe it took me this long to get it, I am a sucker. Being a single mom can't afford to donate to the millionaires. Will so miss the friends in chat but cannot afford too keep losing.

I too, must stop playing. It does seem odd that the same people keep winning the large jackpots. I only wish that I had realized sooner just how much money I am contributing to this site.
