Many people believe we can be born lucky. Some scientists believe we are born with a jammy gene. Psychologists also spend years and thousands of government grants researching luck. However, little is still known about luck itself, as it is one of the most unscientific research subjects ever undertaken. In fact, the research itself also tends to be somewhat unscientific as luck itself is not an object or form which can be seen or monitored with equipment. Most of the tests undertaken to research luck also provide murky results, as it is not possible to forecast luck or to impose luck upon a person.

What many scientists who research luck have discovered, is that being lucky is more about being confident and seeking opportunities rather than lazing around hoping luck will come your way.

Perhaps this is why many people who play bingo online continue playing for so long. They are playing continuously in the hope that it will provide lady luck with the opportunity to grace their bingo ticket, allowing their numbers to be the lucky ones that provide the giant jackpot prize.

Unlucky people are deemed to be more tense than lucky people. They are said to be the type of people who miss opportunities that come their way. For example, they may go to parties looking to meet a partner and become disheartened if they do not meet someone. Yet in the bigger picture they may have missed the opportunity of meeting new friends. They may also be the type to look in a newspaper for a certain job and yet miss a great opportunity for a career that they hadn’t thought of.

Lucky people get lucky by accepting their breaks and accepting failure without losing enthusiasm for life, while it is said that unlucky people hate things changing and stick with the safer option. Psychologists call it ‘change blindness’. By refusing to accept changes in your life, you are not allowing space to let luck in. So by taking small risks, the fearfulness, tension and routine around your life evaporates.

Again this may be why those playing bingo continue playing. They are accepting a small financial deficit for the opportunity of a bigger lucky financial windfall.

Gut instinct also plays a part in luck. If you feel drawn to a particular decision on instinct then you must stick to it. The subconscious mind can be alerted by visual clues and past experiences which nudges you towards an opportunity. So the next time you apply for that new job, before sending off your application listen to what your gut instinct is telling you.

Lucky people also are deemed to be highly extrovert and outgoing. This means that they are maximising chance and opportunity. Bingo games can provide an advantage to help towards this. By chatting and having more random conversations in the bingo chat rooms, you are more likely to hear of an opportunity or a great idea that you are interested in and that may eventually provide you with a little bit of luck.

Scientists believe that there are fundamental elements that help us become more lucky. These elements are said to be more about our mental outlook on life and how we approach events or experiences. For example, you may receive a broken ankle strutting around in your high heels, but you can be more thankful that you had not suffered a worse injury and can consider yourself lucky.

Below are the four elements that psychologists have come up with in relation to helping you towards a more luckier life. Why not try them before you play your next bingo game online and you never know, you might just feel your way to becoming a lot luckier!

Listen to your gut instincts; they are normally right. Experiences of the subconscious can help us make a decision in the right direction.

Be open to new experiences and break your normal routine. Why not do a routine task differently than normal. Take a different route to the shops or shop at a different store altogether.

Spend some time at the end of your day remembering things that went well. A positive end to the day will certainly bring on a positive and luckier start to the next.

Visualise yourself being lucky or being a winner. Luck is very often a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Good luck the next time you play bingo.By: Morgan Collins
