I like electronic bingo.
No markers. You just sit there and watch your numbers light up.

Why?
You still don't have the same chance of winning. It's random selection.
You could go with one card forever and never win while someone else does. Once again. It's not the point of winning. It's the point of participating and having fun.
There are a couple of trivia sites I play on and the questions are really tough. I hardly ever win but I don't care. I'm playing for fun. I don't tell the developer to make it easier so everyone will have a fair chance.

Have you ever experienced how cranky some elders can get when they don't get their way???

That Simpsons clip is all too true. The caller has to keep yelling the numbers and they still can't hear what it is even with hearing aids in both ears.
I've finally figured out the definition of "elder": anyone older than yourself.

The number of cards each player has doesn't bother me as much as the changing rules. For instance, if the caller says we'll be going for "regular BINGO and 4 corners" and after each players get one of those patterns and I remove the markers from my cards, then the caller says "Now keep going and we'll play for cover-all."
Then there's the woman that attends and plays, but if she wins she says "I really don't want any of those prizes." Makes me ask the question "Why does she even play if she doesn't want anything?" That the same person that left her Christmas grab bag draw on the table when she departed the meeting last December.
