Bingo Bingo Team

I've formed a (so far 2-person) Bingo team. I'll tell the long version of the story.

At the casino I play at, there is a bank of 4 video poker machines with extremely good payout tables (99.96% RTP on Deuces Wild and Double Double Bonus). I spend a lot of time there, and I always try to engage the other players in conversation to see whether they are there by design or accident. The other night I met someone who not only knew what he was doing but was even a bridge player with a number of masterpoints comparable to mine, and his interest in EV/AP was even stronger than mine. So after some discussion we decided to form a team, which will include playing together and splitting, but also we can be at different places at the same times.

I'll mention one new aspect of my quest to untangle Bingo. The TED-E electronic system assigns card numbers, and when someone wins they call out the winning card number. There must be some way to decode the numbering pattern to get an estimate of the number of cards in play. The numbering system is weird. At one session, I had cards 811301-811360 for game 1, 812301-812360 for games 2/3, 813301-813360 for games 4/5, etc.
