Easter Bible Bingo

Playing Bible bingo can be a great way to pass the time with your family or church friends and can be a terrific way to raise money for your good cause. Bible bingo might be played exactly like regular bingo only at a church function. Or it might instead of the word bingo at the top of the cards, have the word BIBLE or another bible related term. Bible bingo also can come in other forms. Bible bingo might not use numbers but instead will use books of the Bible or names of people from the Bible on the cards. Then the ping pong balls used to call out the terms might have those same names of the people from the Bible or the books of the Bible printed on them.

Bible bingo can be great fun and a great way to raise money for your good cause. Many people think it’s a sacrilege that people in church would be gambling playing bingo. But in reality, people who play bingo never lose more than a very moderate amount of money. Most people who play bingo end up winning some sort of prize along the way and most people get about half their money back, if they play over the long term. Very few gambling games provides this much entertainment for as cheap of a price.

Free Bible Bingo

People who play Bible bingo often will buy a dozen or so cards at a time because they will then have a greater chance at winning. This does increase their odds, but not as much as they might think. If there are 299 players in the bingo hall, each with only a single $1 card at a session when you join in. If you buy only the one card, the management has taken in a total of $300. Each player has a one in 300 chance of winning a prize from a single game. The odds against winning for each player are 299 to one.

But if you buy three more cards for another one dollar, you have four cards that cost you $2. Each of the other players now has one chance in 303 of winning while you have four chances of 303. The probability that you will lose with four cards is 299 in 303. And the probability that a player with one card will lose is only slightly greater at 302 out of 303.
