People who can select their cards do so for a simple statistical reason. One of the ways to get a BINGO is the “four corners,” and when BINGO “pros” make sure that all their cards have different numbers in these locations. That way, they increase their chance of hitting the corners with a wider range of numbers.

Thanks to my Mom for this insight into BINGO dominance.

Because the paint marks stay on the cards from round to round?

We can call it a “mental exercise.” Or perhaps we can just call it Bruce.

That was my guess, but I am not quite sure I would call that a “brain game.” Perhaps this should have gone into “Guess the Interesting Theory” section.
