Thanks, the quicky guide really came in handy for me Now time to find an aged account to make monies with.

Fortunately we have a place to handle that as well.

Did daqtools stop working for anyone else?

Seems like it requires a password/neodaq forum acc with access now? Or is that just me?

Looks like that is down currently, if it comes back/I find an alternative I will update this thread at that time.

is it a good idea to bet on a couple different people in each location?

If you read the guide it explains pretty well, but essentially yes.

Thanks for this
I have something new to try now.

[kqts]

Thank-you. Now, I just need to try this out. Prehaps I can someday have the Food Club trophy!

[Yung]

It isn't too hard to get a trophy for this if you actively play every month.

Thanks for the guide Yung. I was doing 4:1 (2:1 and 2:1) as safe bets before and then doing sets of 2 but I've been losing my profit lately. We'll see if that Datools link comes in handy, lol.

There is a greasemonkey auto better for food club, but I have no idea how it works:

Does anybody use it and care to enlighten me?

[LoktarXero]

My friend was talking to me about this a few weeks ago, and to be honest...I never even knew about it.

And i've been on Neo close to when it started

 

Ty for this! :3

Food club is one of the most economic means to acquire mass wealth in Neopets--definitely refine your skills to become an expert and active user.

[ceterisparibus]

It works really well in the long run, you can't see it as a short-term thing where you'll get short bursts of income.

 

Thought i'll share this.

He's really good at doing it, even has the past stats to show that in the long run, you'll always make it big if you play constantly.

I've been doing the dutch booking method and it's been working beautifully. I'm making between 5000-10000 nps with betting about 12000 total per group of bets. It only requires a little bit of copying data from one sheet to another and it's a guaranteed profit. Is this sort of betting illegal with horse racing or other things in real life?

Nope. Although horse racing is significantly more complicated because a computer isn't assigning the odds or determining the outcome. Also, the contestants change, so you have to become adept at judging new horses. I wouldn't recommend it.

In theory, the same methods can work (cross-betting, hedging, ignoring 2:1 vs. 2:1 match ups, etc) but with real money and murphy's law, it's probably not a good idea.

[baseball93]

Damn, I think I lost a bunch of winnings because I didn't account for the week change and I forgot to pick up earlier today

 

If I can't even remember to do that, I think I should stay far away from any real gambling or book gaming.

I bet yesterday, following the recommendations from the given link and I'm pretty sure I won some bets but when I go to collect winnings it says I don't have any. Does this game ever glitch? Thanks

Your winnings clear every week, so that might be what happened.

Yung, just wondering what is your profit ratio at food club? Mine is between +70% to +75% based on my personal system, so I'm wondering whether it is worth switching to your recommended strategy.

Edited by Trey, 28 May 2013 - 12:19 AM.

[Yung]

It varies but I know it's always over 60%. I am unsure as the exact amount as I've not been tracking it specifically for quite some time.

You can check this easily under "Bet History". Just divide your win total by your bet total

We're also talking about a spread from 7 different accounts. 5 of which are currently iced.

If you used the same betting strategy for each account, then I would imagine that the profit ratio should be roughly the same whichever account you check (given a large enough sample size). But no worries if it is too much trouble!

Okay, let's take one account:

 

37,583,991 win total

7,589,462 bet total

 

Not as high as I'd thought it was but still not bad. Roughly 5x my pay in is returned.
