Bingo!

What do YOU think is the best way to complete bingo?

What i think :

Make X

Then 1st vertical

Then 2nd horizontal

Then what would you say?

curse you lol

diag

i always do diagonal, then vertical, then horizonal. filling in wherever needs the least number of spaces to finish a line. Never missed out on completing a card.

K thats what i did last time

Diag all the way

First of all, it only runs 9 days...with bonuses on 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 lines...that's a total of 14 squares when the board has 15...secondly, the bonuses(2 squares each) aren't really practical(even assuming the middle space is free)...here's the best strategy i've come up with so far(numbers are the day that I place that spot):

1---6
82-5-
7-0--
94939
4---4

as you can see, I was only able to complete 4 lines...I've tried several other strategies, but 4 is the most I can get...

It is completely possible to get all squares. Just listen to these people's suggestions

Your math is off, you get 2 for the odd lines so it's min of 19 spaces

Can someone explain a little more in detail?

just do one line diagonally, then a vertical line on on left side of the board, then horizontal anywhere you like as you'll have 2 spaces filled in at any point already. then continue to fill in wherever needs least amount of spaces to achieve a line (or two!)

in the 4(?) times that they have had bingo since game going live i've not failed to complete the card once.

I just played my first square on the bingo bonus and got 1 bonus square to pick as the first one's reward. Therefore, there is probably no reason why one can't unveil the whole board. I would suggest using some strategy though. I am going to be using the one described in previous posts.

wondering if this is a good tatic first get a1 through a5 use the bonus on b2 c2 then d2 and e2 then b4 c3 then since theres no more daily scratches left hope theres free ones under one of those tiles and use them to get the third scratch bonus and use that bonus to finish the 4th line straight across the bottom and have the other set up for just 1 and get it done having the middle set for 2 and get it and have the sides left and if u do it right you will have b1-d1 on the left and b5-d5 on the right and you get a line every 2 scratches

if thats hard to picture heres wat im thinking with the free scratchs and line bonus
A1 1 A2 3 A3 4 A4 5 A5 2
B1 B2 b B3 B4 8 B5
C1 C2 b C3 9 C4 C5
D1 D2 6 D3 D4 D5
E1 E2 7 E3 E4 E5
let me know thx
