Many bingo players swear blind that their bingo charms bring them luck when playing, even if they do not win, they dare not leave home without their lucky bingo charms, you just never know! For some people it is as simple as having a lucky animal, these animals range widely, from lucky black cats, to pigs and the luckiest bingo animal charm is said to the unassuming teddy bear.
For people who play bingo it is not necessarily the win that matters, but the adrenaline rush they receive when knowing they have only one number left to bingo. Charms and rituals are believed to be able to increase the chances of having this feeling. For some people it is a simple as wearing their knickers on backwards or inside out, others laden themselves with teddy bears and seat them in the chair next to them, while yet others always sit in the same seat or rub a lucky charm over their bingo sheets.
Other popular charms are pictures of Jesus, small statues of Buddah, touching the bingo club manager on arrival, and it is also believed that if you drop your bingo card before swiping it, you will have luck.
