Overdue (Bingo term)

In the game of bingo, the term “overdue” is used to describe a number that has not been called out for a long time and is therefore more likely to be called out in the next round. For example, if the number 40 has not been called out in several rounds of play, players may consider it overdue and mark it on their cards in anticipation of it being called out in the next round. Some players may use overdue numbers as part of their strategy, while others may ignore them altogether.
