Playtime Bingo

[Sailorgrl]

Does anyone play at Playtime Bingo? They have the house players!! The same ones win all the time. Occasionally they let one of us "token" players win. One player 'wins' thousands or it's put back in the company. If this place was on the up-and-up jeaniebuck and aunt piggie wouldn't be the primary winners.

hey do you like sailor moon?

i have a wicked avatar i can post for you to use.

or are you truly a girl who sails? i am also keenly interested in sailing. we should talk.

as regards your situation, i recommend you chat with bingoT here on the forum (though i suspect he'll come after you to chat you up before too long anyhow) because he's here all the time and is big on bingo (and ladies). i think he has a website dedicated to bingo as well, for much more info.

Hi Sailorgrl I don't know much about this bingo.Sorry but I'm sure someone will put something here.
I looked and I can't even find how long they been around.or my eyes are playing games on me lol
I don't care what anyone says you will hear that this place and that place have house players.I don't know the truth behind all this *&^%
And to tell you the truth if I don't promote them if I was a bad mouth I would spread &^%$ around town about them all the time so I can lure people to see what I have to offer. But I can't lower myself to spread rumors things I don't know.The only thing I look at is if they pay it's players that counts in my book and they treat the players with respect.
In the past I use to promote BingoSuit they turned out No Good and my friends at BPU told me of one place that I did promote that was no good too so I stopped that one too after looking into it more.
You have your Pro's & Cons It's really hard to say who is good and who is bad.
I say if a Bingo place has been around for over five or so years by this time if they are still in business what's that tell ya.
I don't like talking about any bingo but this one for some reason I don't care for them.

Thanks & Welcome to the forum

As far as any site having houseplayers...That is difficult to prove, but who needs proof? If your at a site and the same people win consistently over a period of time, what does it matter what they are called? Max players, favored players, houseplayers, bots, it all results in the same end.
I do not, and have never bought the convoluted theory of "luck" as defined by site owners or chat hosts. When a players lucky streak can be seen as more enduring and absolute than the rising and setting of the sun every day, the proverbial wool is being pulled over the eyes of depositing players on a daily basis with effectiveness and intent. Players that defy statistical evidence of odds in the world of chance over a long and continuing time frame are houseplayers or bots! PERIOD!
I have seen jeanniebuck win thousands and thousands in a months time...at several sites begiining several years back when I began noticing same winners. Remember the infamous stonelady from Zanybingo? No one ever actually proved she was a housie, but the site closed and "stone" turned into woodwork. I have also seen other players like "luvmypup" win many, many times without a hitch over a long haul at many sites.
I am not claiming they are houseplayers, just very, very historically consistent winners. You decide for yourself where the "luck" emerges from that allows for that.
Luck has its limits or it wouldnt be called luck. A singularly deviated event from the norm or expected may be construed as luck, but a running display of wins is NOT luck, and anyone that beleives that it is should consider removing the rose colored glasses and just send a check to the "lucky" person and save yourself the bother of clicking on the "wtg" every 5 minutes.
Show me a site that does not have same consistent and regular winners.........anyone? It does NOT exist.

[lauram]

So true there are a few places i play at and now and then i click see the winners. So shocked someone nameed doug in week won 5 dif jackpot lines over 150k there was another lady katy she hit 30k for that week and so on and so on. Yes at times we might just hit that week ourselves as if i get on a roll no matter where i play i seem to win something but as fast as saying that tables turn and cant hit a hit at all. But when reading those winners its not just a nice line they have hit its jackpot live in 4 5 dif games that give them that total.
So lets us here see if one of us on this site can win in a week more then one jackpot line and prove the casinos are up and up. good luck all

[dynamitewoman]

I do think a huge contributing factor to sites staying alive and prospering is due to the concept of "hope" being eternal. Every player thinks they might be the lucky one next and get that jackpot. If we used mathematical probability and statistics to determine our odds, we would run like a jackrabbit on hot tar as far away and as quickly as humanly possible from SWS sites. But that dream remains of seeing our name up there as the big winner. I am not saying it could not happen.....and neither are the sites. That is a marketing strategy to keep that dream alive in spite of what you are seeing with your eyes, and in spite of how much you spend to make that happen.
When you see 30 to 40 in a room all competing for the same win and a small group, or even 2 persons, seem to be winning all the games, save a few morsels the site tosses at playing depositors, a light should go on. I am not talking about one event or even a few days....I am talking the ritual pattern at a site over many weeks or months. When they keep winning in spite of the number in a room, a big "FIXED" sign should begin flashing. In fact, it would be appropriate to have a "fixed" to click on for chatrooms just as they have wtg, brb,etc.
I hear people say " no one could be that lucky", and yet they keep depositing to prove themselves wrong in their suspicions. The sites love folks like that! LOL
