hoochan: I'm still in the hole because of that extraordinarily unlucky streak with high wagers (I went from rank 3 most gained to rank 3 most LOST in a night), but to get from like having 10 credits to a couple hundred thousand, you really really really need to be patient and NEVER bet what you can't afford to lose. It really takes forever. What I did was ask people for "investments" -- people would lend me some money to bet with, and I'd earn profit off that investment, and then return the investment back with a fair degree of interest (and by fair degree I mean absurdly nuts-high). For instance, if someone lent me 30k, I'd try to turn that 30k into 90k, and then give 50k back for a personal profit of 40k. I did this a few times and managed to get back up to speed pretty quickly. You need to have a good strategy though because you don't want to piss off whoever lends to you.

Alternatively, stick with low wagers until you slowly build yourself out. At the rate I was going, playing it safe with low wagers, it would have taken me a week or so to get up a few 100k's.

lump: You do know that if you just spam a whole bunch without covering yourself, you'll end up with less than what you started on average.

Yeah that's essentially what happened to me the other night, with the added insult to injury of only winning the lower wagers, but losing heavily on high wagers. I lost 2.5 million

Well that's the same thing you did the other night that raped me of a million and then some. But mind you that was an extremely lucky run for you, and if you keep doing that, you will start losing money -- same thing happened to me, mind you. You need to cover more.

It's really not smart for the three of us to bet against each other, for various reasons. How about we make a truce which will provide us with higher added value?

Also it's never smart to bet against Tasslefoot, for one reason.
