Odds of Bingo


 Did you ever wonder what are the odds of  Bingo ? First off how many Bingo combinations are there? That is easy to figure out since each row of B,I,N,G,,O have a set of 15 numbers, using 15 in the 5th power (15^5)  or 15x15x15x15x15) we get 759,375 combinations..  

However, we do not use the number combinations to determine the odds of any one certain player, It depends how many cards a person is playing ,and how many cards the other people are playing. The more people playing against you then the higher yours and their odds.

So look arounds see how many cards are playing against you, if   9 players have 2 cards (18 altogether) and you are playing two the oddsa are 2 out of 20 or 1 out of 20 or 10% so every person has a 10% chance of winning.And most likely 90% of losing.

Meaning if you want to lower your odds on paid Bingo games,-go  during the week nights. Weekends will have more people playing increasing your odds  against winning.Or just visit free Bingo gatherings and just enjoy the game.

Technically, using math one bingo card are 1 out of 759,375; Or 5 bingo cards are played then the odds mathematically  are 759,375 / 5 or 1 out of 151,875. which gives us 20% of winning and the most likely 80% of losing. :)  Note: This post uses the American  Bingo  game 1-75 .End
