Im getting frustraded of all the f**king scammers try to get new players to dropp expensive shit, so im writing how it works so everybody know.


Every game has a hidden number, you drop on that number, you win.

for example, lets say the game hidden number is 10, then the player that drops the tenth item wins the entire pot.

Value of the items has no effect on your win chance. Beer - Lolipops - Goose juice is all you need.


So it goes whitout saying, you want to drop when there is a good pot on the board. not when its just started. as you only win whats on the board.

if you didnt win when after you droppt your items, it means you didnt hit the number.

example 2 : hidden number is 60. you drop all your items at 3 - 4 - 5. now you cant win, as you had to drop the 60ith item to win this round. so the player that drops the 60ith item, wins.

Good to know, I'm glad yours is the first guide I read on it although I still probably won't bother playing it.

Deserves a bump tho If in fact there are dickheads giving false info

Without knowing the number how do some players seem to win multiple pots. If it was pure luck this wouldn't be the case. Often see same name in recent winners table

it`s a waiting game... The more items are dropped the higher the chance to win (since there are less numbers left with the possible winning option). You can even calculate at which number of Items in the pot you will have guaranteed profit (over 1000 games)...

11:49:31 - 18/12/2020 You won Pot and received 5x Can of Damp Valley, 10x Bottle of Beer, 1x Can of Crocozade, 2x Bag of Chocolate Kisses, 1x Box of Chocolate Bars, 1x Can of Rockstar Rudolph, 1x Bag of Chocolate Truffles, 6x Can of Goose Juice, 5x Bag of Candy Kisses, 1x Bottle of Mistletoe Madness

well just yeet the cheapest stuff you have into the pot lol, at least that what i do
Brev [2179462]
If the number was 10 for example, does the person who dropped 10 in win when the time is up, or instantly?

And what happens if the number is higher than amount of entries? 50 but only 30 items thrown in.
Iwasme89 [1693153]
items come in one after the other and once one item hits the trigger the round is over. So it doesn`t fill up to 96 items but only till the trigger space
skmoonlight [2619860]
because it isn't pure luck, if you know what to do, you can run a profit on it consistently. (i think i am up 80-90mil orso)

lets make an example, in practice you cant time it like this perfectly, but its for the general idea.
to throw in 3 items (cheapest of all) it costs you 420k to bet.

The number it generates doesnt seem to be random, it hits between 30-50 most often. but lets say it is pure random:

There are 96 item slots in total i believe. So lets say it goes to 93 items, if you throw in 3 items, you win 100% sure.
if you wait till 90 items, and throw 3 items in, you have a 50/50 chance to win that pot +- (because it will be 1 of those 6 slots at that point)
so at 84 slots, at that point you have a 25% chance to win, but if you win. you get 84+3 items. making it a huge profit.
So the more patient you are, the more you will profit on money spend, that said:

The number does not seem totally random, like i said before it seems to hit between 30-50 most often, only seen it go up to 65 a handfull of times.

so for convenience sake, lets say: If it goes up to 35 items, there is a 95% chance it will hit before it hits 65.

That means if you place 3 items in, while there are 35 items in, you have about a 1/10.5 chance to win the pot.
on average a 40 item pot is 10mil (from my experience, i have had upwards of 20m)

you have a 1/10.5 chance to win (if you always wait for the pot to go to 35+ items)
you spend 420k each time you bet. so on average you spend 4.4m to win a pot, which returns you 10mil


All of that said, its boring as heck to do, often the pot goes before 30, so you waste time. And me telling you this doesnt effect my odds really, since the people throwing in the early items probably dont read the forums
Smokey123 [248901] Helper
Pick a number before you play. Only ever dump your items when it hits that number. You'll get lucky eventually.

For example. I picked "60" on my very first go of pot this year. I dumped my items as soon as the 59th item went in and I won the pot on the 61st item :P

Stick to the same number, do not change it.
RadicalFanatic [1483140]
Yup I've seen one player win 15 out of 20 games he played then offered handouts to keep people betting i felt like i got scammed at a street hustle game tbh. And he won more after that 100% rigged. There should in my opinon be a warning or a disclaimer that this isn't a game based on chance.

In fact out of all the games I watched participated and checked the scores in there was only 4 separate winners, 2 of them getting 90%+ of the wins combined
gnar [2268922]
if you suspect someone is cheating report the account and let staff check and judge if there's really some kind of cheating involved or not.
RadicalFanatic [1483140]
If there's a method of setting up an almost guaranteed win due to the game being advertised as a game of chance when it isn't or it is easily manipulated into free billions, then yeah I can't exactly say they are outright cheating. Its like card counting except there success rate is much higher. And card counting while technically not illegal is illegal.

What i want is a disclaimer so people know that this is a rigged gambling game, so people can make an informed choice about there gambling. There should be a disclaimer that if you do not know the mechanics your chance of winning is 0.01%

Theres a reason why casinos give odds of you winning, so you can make an informed choice.

Also what happens when a group of players/faction work together to control the pot, no risk to them.

This game is a disaster.
gnar [2268922]
but there is no method. it's just RNG.
and the "chance of winning" is actually displayed in POT every time an item is dropped, so what more do you want?
just avoid pot if you don't want to potentially lose anything, it's not like it's mandatory to play.
TayvisSwelce [2563568]
Think of it more like poker. Or scrabble. Just one hand/game might be "chance" but in the end if enough games are played, a skilled player will come out ahead of an unskilled player. Sometimes your AA loses to 72 offsuit. doesnt mean it's rigged.
Brakier [2095393]
there is no timer, you land on the number you win instantly, if you put out all the items and didnt win, you didnt win. couse you didnt hit that rounds secret number.
