Older means wiser (gambling wise)?

[bitbingo.io]

Many Hollywood movies show older people enjoying their bingo nights. And bingo is a form of gambling. So why do you think older people would prefer bingo over other forms of gambling?

Bingo is completely different from most types of gambling. Its usually done in retirement homes and usually its never for money but for prices. Its usually to make it entertaining.

Its similar to playing the lottery.

at the risk of being attacked by your sig users...

you pay a lot for that but it doesn't seem to be helping the site. i wish i could play here more (been a user 3+ months), and at most played a couple games. i still have one active bingo card in a room that is weeks old. why not spend those funds on some other advertising as it is clearly not working?

in my opinion

also, to stick with the topic: life has beaten me down so much i actually enjoy bingo as it's stress free gambling (for me). i used to laugh at bingo players but now i'm one of them  not sure if that makes sense...

Bingo is a Form of Lottery which is totally Luck Dependent , but in gambling(Sportsbook or others) you can guess as one is your favorite or on based on performance but in Bingo you cant do anything.

And Yeah many hollywood movies shows old people playing bingo and i guess old people feel to be safe with it as in present gambling there are fixes and dishonesty but in bingo you are totally on luck , no intentional defeat.

true, there is a conection between old people and Bingo and I believe that it is a social conection and it begins with the fact that many of them frequently meet there.

as others have mentioned, bingo is very similar to lottery so it is very exciting. besides it doesn't need any sort of skills or a good memory so it is very suitable for elderly. for example in poker, you need to have some skills and you can't play with a lot of people while bingo can have more players.

IMO is for social aspect cause in my country, in China they claim official lottery(bingo) is for charity, of course they lie to public, so people who in China buy lotteries or bingo are fooled by the government cause they corrupt those money, never or seldom used the money on charity.

bingo is extremely time consuming, most of the older crowd enjoy this because it takes up most of their evening/or day
and they get to hang around people their age, why else would they do it? surely they don't all win so there has to be a deeper reason for them
all hanging out in bingo parlors

I feel so old I wanna play bingo...for a new dental equipment
Just kidding, I tried bingo once, well, more than once, but I never won.

[FrueGreads]

Only tried bingo once and it was for the social aspect. Actually more for the food aspect, because I went there with some firends since in that place there was an open buffet if you play bingo, so we can eat cheap and then just party, and if we get lucky and win somehting we even have the night paid by bingo lol, if we don't then we just eat well and cheap.

And now on the topic, I think it's the same with old people playing bingo, they go there and socialize for a while.

What does This: Older means wiser (gambling wise)?

have to do with This: Many Hollywood movies show older people enjoying their bingo nights. And bingo is a form of gambling. So why do you think older people would prefer bingo over other forms of gambling?

Couldn't you just make the topic "Why do older people like Bingo ?"

[ticoti]

I think not,
you have yo have a sixth sense for gambling and that is innate or acquired with a lot of experience

[LiQuidx]

The title has nothing to do with the actual topic and the vote... Age has nothing to do with being wise when it comes to gamble... You should just know that luck is what comes to play at the end of the day.

I played Bingo (not on your site) but in one of the local parlours and surprisingly it favors the old I mean they were winning one after the another.

I never won anything, I tried a few times and then went away, I think there is the social aspect plus it's a little slow paced game and which is why you don't see too many young people keen to play Bingo.

[Falconer]

Dont see any relation between subject and topic

But I think older people prefer to play bingo instead of other gambling, because bingo is a simple game, so the player doesnt need any strategy or skill with that like poker or blackjack. All thing they need is just to get fun with a game, and they could find it in bingo.

A bingo game takes more than an hour to play and can provide more fun at a lower cost than the same time spent on blackjacks or craps.
Older people can play bingo to occupy their free without losing too much money.

I don't know where you seen a bingo game take more than an hour, they mostly take just a few minutes each. I used to have to go with my grandmother a few years back and she would be running 8 boards simultaneously and they read the letter/numbers off so fast I am not sure how they kept up. I always hated when she would go to the bathroom and I would have to watch her boards, as it was a lot to scan when they would be calling off B14, N3... in rapid succession and people yelling bingo all the time.

I also think they charged $1 per board/per game, so over an evening they could have a few hundred dollars wagered in an evening easily. Of course, the payouts were pretty good too, with usually a few hundred people playing at once, and I believe a 80% payout. So a couple wins could put you ahead for the night.
