My busting philosophy is this. it may be slightly flawed but it's based off of my experience:
1) Start the day out busting someone that won't immediately land you in the slammer! The cost of each bust is 5 Nerve, that number can be reduced further with Faction Perks (The difficulty of self-busting can also be reduced by 50% through the Bachelor of Law course)
Level 50 RECOMMENDED BUST: Level 1 - 30
Level 40 RECOMMENDED BUST: Level 1 - 25
Level 30 RECOMMENDED BUST: Level 1 - 20
Level 20 RECOMMENDED BUST: Level 1 - 15
2) The recommended time a target should have for busting is around 1hr - 2hr (This time of course is for those that want to play it as safe as possible, Nothing more or you risk getting caught)
3) You're more likely to bust from 2 - 4 people daily (Education/ Faction Perks/ Books/ Company Specials can increase this number)
4) I usually bust within 15 minutes for the first two busts, then I wait about 4 hours for the third bust (This is my current max daily, as I only have a Faction Perk that increases success by 50%)
5) Your Level play a vital role in how successful you are at busting, so I inferred that the higher your Level is, the easier it'll be for you to bust higher levels with more time in jail (Upwards of 30hr).
6) One side note to remember is that busting merits are a really long term goal, you will get frustrated at times when you fail for absolutely no reason, but keep at it and help those criminals out of prison!
