Bingo really keeps the mind Sharp

I’ve been playing online bingo for about 18 months now and become a bit of a dab hand at it (even if I do say so myself). Despite learning quite a lot about bingo through reading reviews and the experience I have gained, there really is nothing quite like playing bingo in a land based hall.

Playing at a Gala Bingo hall last week I felt more out of my depth than when I first took up horse riding at the age of 14. Just like then I felt like I was lost, helpless, and pathetic all at once. Those old women and other regulars put me to shame. Scanning through multiple books and dabbing away in furiously quick succession.

It was then I realised their hand-eye coordination and alertness was far superior to mine. Their brains must have been working a mile a minute. Without a doubt bingo keeps your mind sharp, there was no chance of their gray matter turning to mush anytime soon.

Not surprisingly then, I recently read an article that suggested bingo does indeed keep the mind sharp. According to the research members of the old community that played bingo were less likely to develop illnesses like Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

Now on when I’m playing online, I think I’ll be taking the auto dabber off.

My Foxy Bingo Review

Just signed up to Foxy to see what all the excitement was about… Have been hearing everyone talking about it and saw an Ad on Teletext, tenner free and I thought why not. WTG!! Sign up was easy had to deposit a tenner to get the free tenner from Foxy but gather that is pretty standard now (gone are the days of the no deposit bingo bonuses). There are lots of rooms where you can play 90 and 75 ball bingo at lots of different ticket values –

I played in Nifty Fifty as it wasn’t as busy as some of the others and the jackpots still good – over 30 quid. All good and fun but then I decided to have a go on the instants – oh dear that’s where you lose your money – put it all on red, then all on black – won both times so put the rest of the balance on red and hey presto I lost! I think that the main attraction of Foxy must be the main events when you can win anything from a grand on Monday to £25,000 on Friday – always at 9 PM.

There’s even a mid week blockbuster – as they call it with a chance to win Take That tickets – now you’re talking. All in all I’d play again at Foxy – but watch what you call yourself… ;there were some unhappy rommies playing today when they noticed 2 donuts playing :-)
