BINGO Strategy

[AAr]

In BINGO, I read that it is often good strategy to underbid in BINGO to get the low-level squares you need, but:

 

When, if ever, and how often, is it good strategy to overbid in BINGO. When would the risk be worth the award?

 

 

Example: You need a 3H and a 4H, and you figure a game is close. Is it better to try for the 4H square, even at the risk of one down, to get the 4H square and more points towards redeals, knowing the risk of going down, or is it better to just go for the 3H square?

 

Thanks for your input.

It's better to go for the 3H square because it's much more difficult to get the bots to stop into a 3rd level contract. So if you've got them to pass 3H just stay there - it's a lot easier to bid and make 4H later.
