More balls will be drawn before a winner is announced, and so you should try to pick numbers that are more in the middle of the spectrum-those closer to number 38. Games where there is a more complex pattern to complete will generally take longer to finish. Tippett argued that in these games, it would be best to choose numbers at either end of the spectrum (ie. For simple games, where the aim is to complete lines or a Full House (FH in bingo lingo terms), it doesn’t usually take very long for one player to win. He thought that as time progressed in a 75 ball game, numbers would be drawn that were much closer to to this ‘perfect average’. There are many different ways to calculate an average, but Tippett chooses to use the number that lies exactly in the middle: the median, 38.
Tippett’s theory is based on what we shall call the ‘perfect average’: the average of all 75 balls before any have been picked. Now it’s time to take a look at another strategy, this time proposed by a British statistician, Leonard Tippett. Last time we discussed Granville’s strategy he thought that the secret to success was to select a bingo card with numbers that were as spread-out as possible. We’ve begun an investigation into some of the most popular tactics claiming to increase your chances of winning at bingo. How To Pick The Best Bingo Numbers: Tippett's Theory
