[talbs]

@Jibrille We've missed you!

 

@Michaelhex Glad you are getting some winnings.

 

I have posted bets for today, so lets hope this semi hot streak continues.

[Nanarie]

Alright I read the guide and I still don't know what I'm doing. I guess I'll just throw some money at a high risk and low risk bet.

Really? I will see if I can find a more in-depth guide, but it can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't that familiar with gambling, and if it is your first time doing Food Club. Most of the people here who have never played just started betting, and overtime they developed an understanding so that's what I'd recommend. You can place 10 bets a day. Depending on how many NP you have, or wish to potentially lose, as well as the age of your account should determine the level of risk you use. If you want to PM me the specifics, or post here, maybe I can point you in a better direction. Regardless, I would copy all 10 bets that are listed. Just choose whether or not you want to go high risk or low risk. Bear in mind they are all risky, but the lower risk is obviously less risky, but in the event any of those were to win, you will get a smaller payout.

Oh no, thank you so much for this thread and the link to the guide, it's probably adequate for the average person - I've just never gambled at anything before I copied 7 of the high risk bets and 3 of the low risk bets at random, it's only about 30k for 10 bets for me so even if everything is a bust it's no big loss. I'm dazzled by the potential profit though so I'm excited to see how today plays out 

[talbs]

Oh ok then yeah 30k per day isn't bad, so long as you have at least a million on hand. I would recommend playing for at least a month before you give up. The good thing is it tracks your winnings over time so if after a month you are in the negative maybe you can call it quits. I will say that if you follow the bets here however it will be very unlikely to be in the negative after a month. If you are hit and miss, bet one day and then forget, I suppose it's possible though. I think the more active users in this thread would agree.

 

Currently on my main I have bet 130 days at a cost of almost 10 million NP, but I have won 15 million NP, so it definitely has paid off.

I do AB a lot so I think I'll be able to keep up enough funds. I hope I'll be able to keep at it daily though, I can't even keep up with clickable dailies and I always forget about my stocks XD

Maybe I'll be lame and set an alert on my phone...

[talbs]

I don't know what time zone you are in but just be sure to bet each day before 3:45 EST which I think is 12:45 NST but I am not entirely sure. I always try to post my bets around 10 NST/1 EST which is my lunch break at work.

[Nanarie]

I'm also in EST and it also happens to be my lunch break at work. perf timing then.

LOL totally opposite in my place, your place is like 3pm and here is 3am, but I'm glad you posted it early for today @talbs

[talbs]

Winnings were laughable today. I'm anxious to see how the low risk bets did, as the high risk only won 4:10 which is only slightly better than a bust.

i placed my own bets, id say they were more low risk than high risk

but got 40:10

[Nanarie]

+30k for me, I guess that was good?

[talbs]

Yeah, if you only had to bet 30k, then you must have gotten something around 8:10 or a 12:10.

 

Hugo's bets got 28:10, which is pretty good

 

Of course, the low risk bets just had to be the only good ones today.

What does 8:10 or 12:10 mean? The bet that won had 20:1 odds.

[ASadDog]

Thought I'd register to drop some thanks. I've wanted something to throw random NPs at for a while and the low-risk bets had a great return today.

It's the chance for winning and the neopoint returns it gives. The pirates that have a ratio like 2:1 are the ones that have the highest likelihood of winning, so their betting chances are low. You'd get 2 neopoints for every 1 you bet, so if you do a bet that's like 5,000 NP you'd get 10,000 back. The ones that have basically no chance of winning have odds like 13:1, but you'll get 13 neopoints for every one you bet. If you bet 5,000 and got a win on that, you'd get 65,000 NPs back. That's a high-risk bet. The low risk bets are ones that stack up bets on the pirates with better odds winning, like a couple pirates with 2:1 or 3:1/5:1 odds.

Hm... well I understand the x:1 odds and how the x is a multiplier of your bet. But what are the x:10 odds? 

 

This might be really obvious and I just suck at math idk

[talbs]

The x:10 comes from the assumption that you place 10 bets every day, so its the collective total. For instance, the individual bet you won was 20:1 as it paid 20 times of what you bet on that particular arena. However, since you made 10 bets, and assuming the other 9 lost, your overall payout was technically 20:10.

Ooh okay. It all makes sense now! Thank you

[Karyx]

44:10 today, wasn't expecting too high a payout but it was good enough

[talbs]

I updated the bets early today, because I am leaving work at lunch time and won't have an opportunity to post them later. Good luck to everyone today, and let me know how you do if you use Hugo's bets, or your own, as I always use the high risk.
