With the exception of Nerkmids & Wheel of Ext, most of the gambles available are pretty shit. Which is the worst??

Make sure to keep price in mind - so even though you probably won't get anything from tokens, something like 1 T-Map = 100 Tokens = 6 Spooky Maps etc.

In order of worst payout, IMO:
1. WC
2. Tokens
3. Spooky
4. Treasure maps

Have any of you ever been lucky with any of the above? Share your pain
A few months ago I bought 2 full sets of WCs to try (3-4m total I think) and got shitty PBs and PPBs (Cloud/Striped etc.)

[Kyouma]

Exactly. Those WC's are horrible. Perhaps if you get lucky, you could get an Usuki Paint brush from the level two, but really, its really really not worth it.
I'd say spooky is less risky than Treasure maps though, cause those spooky foods are worth alot sometimes

[Junsu]

WC maps. Yep yep.
BUT FOR SOME REASON PEOPLE KEEP BUYING IT LOLOLOL.
So more money for me.

I lost 3 grand in Vegas this past april. I'd say those were bad gambles

Was it slots? Don't say slots.

And you forgot to include Space and Underwater maps
I'd say those are worst gamble

It wasn't really a gamble since I had like, a lot of millions and only spent like 400k on neocola tokens. But I guess that'd have to be it.

But I also spent $150 at the casino. Which is a lot to me since I'm poor.

[Musician]

WCs are the worst - which is why I've never gotten any.

[ZKK]

I didn't include space/underwater maps and expensive scratch cards because no one should play with them

Tokens might be worse than WCs, because it wouldn't be surprising if you spent 2m on Tokens and had absolutely nothing to show for it. There was that dude who spent 1000 tokens and only got 1 trans potion, lol.

I don't understand why people buy Spooky Maps, because the chance of getting something great is incredibly low You'd consider yourself lucky if you won a Snorkle Snout but that's only a 20k profit. Most of the time the rewards are spooky food trash.

Treasure, Spooky & WC maps have become overpriced now. I always feel bad when a legit noob buys one of them and loses all his/her money.

Out of curiosity, what is a WC map? I've never heard of it.

You win map pieces

[enigmaticarc]

Thanks; it looks like it's a really tedious process to win stuff. I'll stick with scorchy slots.

Its pretty easy if you just use SS or AoB for 1 or 2 games for a round or two. Easy 60k at least there, more if you get rare WC pieces.

[Jaws]

WC maps, bought 1 set to try and ended up with a RED petpet paint brush... god.

[Shirwinator]

Nope betting on sports I went with 3k, got up to 13k, and lost all 13k on one game. But essentially I only lost 3k =/

WC maybe the worst but not when you earn them free then its a gain even if you convert or sell

[Keil]

WC is definitely the worst. I played Snowmuncher like crazy to the point I filled both level 1 and level 2 with minimal purchasing of the map pieces. For level 1 I got a screal and level 2, I got a Halloween pb. Feeling lucky I bought all the pieces for level 3 and got a biscuit paint brush and I was like WTF. I was considering treasure maps to be a huge gamble, but I regain like 50K which is not extrememly bad

[Pilot]

WC without a doubt, why do I even try sometimes.

[Pavement]

Neocola tokens aren't bad. I've gotten a few good things from it.

[semore]

WCs were an awesome gamble back in the day before they formatted which prizes you can get from which map. There was lotssssssss of NPs to be made in reselling full maps before they changed that crap -_-

i over price my maps and though the people can buy all pieces in shops separate and cheaper they still buy them off me, sold one yesterday for 100k more then what you can get off shop wizzard. Im pretty sure people will catch on to that soon lol still a little spare nps to be made but converting not nearly as much

[Debbie]

last time I bought a spooky map, I got nothing but rubbish!

Never tried the others though, gambling doesn't do me much good at all

[RWS]

I've only tried the spooky map, and I didn't get anything good. In my mind, most of these things are just a waste of NP.

If somebody had the time, and enough people had the money, you could do a small study on the chances of getting certain items.
It wouldn't be very conclusive, but it'd still be interesting to see.

[jlovesa]

I have to say that I see a lot of you saying WC is the worst gamble but I have done a lot of these and made great profit from the pb's I have gotten I have had up too 5 Halloween and atleast 3 Usuki, as well as Normal colors and some of them go for a million or two. I would have to say that the neocola is the worst for me I have spent a lot of neopoints for nothing. However Nerkmids are so so.
