Introduction To Bingo Lingo
Imagine training to be a bingo host it would be like having to learn a new language because of all of the bingo lingo. You need to be someone with a big personality to do the job well, and if you have never ventured into a bingo hall before you can become completely mesmerised with these short phrases which can seem very strange indeed.
It is a great tradition amongst the players who love the game and in many cases has not moved onto the online medium although some of the best bingo sites have kept the tradition. The idea behind it was to make the numbers much clearer in the environment, and still today talking is not well tolerated amongst the majority of players during a draw as to miss a number call can mean losing a prize.
When playing online the noise factor of course is different and on the best bingo sites you have a wealth of visual aids however the tradition is inherent to those who played in the halls. Also online the numbers are automatically daubed on your cards whereas in the halls you had to pay attention to mark off your numbers as they were called out.
There is a nostalgic feel for veteran players if they can find these best bingo bonus sites which integrate the bingo lingo for them. To make the whole experience as authentic as possible these sites are getting bingo callers to record their calls to be used online. The beauty of this is that as we are no longer relying on the physical presence of the caller there is a vast choice of actors and actresses also who can be used who have different voices and accents, all of this bringing a richness and live quality to the online game.
What would you think if someone said Kelly’s eye to you? First of all you would think who is Kelly, unless of course you know someone by this name, and wonder if her eye was ok. Actually this means the number one in this strange, yet enticing lingo. Or if there was mention of a Knock at the Door, well most of us would want to go and see who is at the front door, but the in-crowd know that this means number four. Tony’s Den sounds like a dodgy place where some of the Eastend hoods might get together, but innocently enough it is only the number ten! We won’t give any prizes if you can guess the next one, as even a non player of the game with a little common sense may know what number is signified by the call Unlucky for Some. Yes, you got it right, it is indeed number thirteen. Which happens to rhyme with Sweet Sixteen which is another obvious one so we all know that as funny as the lingo is there is a good chance that will be the number sixteen. This one can bring back memories to many of us players and non-players alike, Goodbye-Teens. You remember departing for na-na-na nineteen into what used to be the distant twenties. So again a bit of logic here with this bingo call for nineteen. These are a few examples of what you can experience at some of the most integrated best bingo sites.
Top Football Betting Tips
Like any other wagering, football betting is not for everybody. Some take it lightly and others obsess over it. Whatever people do, they are playing with real money. So it will suffice to say that exercising common sense and self-control are pre-requisites to any kinds of betting. Here are some tips that will help you along the way and make things easier: –
1. If you are betting, make sure that you are betting with money that you can afford to lose. That means you should not bet with rent money or money that should rightfully go to mortgage payments. If you are betting, bet responsibly.
Football is an exciting game and its fans are really passionate about the entire process of the game. You may be an avid football fan and have your favorites. But when it comes to betting you have to let go of those emotions unless you want to lose a lot of money. Betting is about numbers and odds and who is more likely to win. If you blindly bet on a hunch or a favorite, chances are that you will lose a lot of money.
2. Understand what you are doing before you do it. You are likely to have a lot of people around you preaching different theories and strategies. They might sound really impressive and convincing depending on how well they speak. But you should not follow their theories without understanding what you are doing. It might look like they are winning all the time but you must understand that they know what they are doing. If you really want to do what they do, you have to read up on betting.
Hence, you have to learn how to place a bet and how the odds work. You must know what the bookies mean when they give all those numbers. Most of all, you have to know how hard it is to predict who’s going to win. Trust me on this one – if someone was so good at predicting winners, he would not be trying to advise people. He’d be too rich to care.
3. Do the research and do not bet blind folded. If you do not know about a game, do not bet on it. You have to know your teams inside out before you can bet on them. There are just too many things to consider like injuries, disciplinary action, game conditions, etc. You have to ‘watch and learn’ your way to winning.
4. Do not fall for scams. There are a lot of scams in the betting industry. Do not believe for one minute that someone can get you the winning prediction every time for $20. As I said, if these people were that good, they’d be too rich to care.
5. Long shots are exactly that – long shots. Bookies are not stupid and they will not give you 50/1 just like that. They do win but it is pretty rare.
All in all, keep a close watch on the number and always bet with your head.
