Fever Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Right now I'm using Jamila's guide to bet.. But I feel bad when I'm betting and there are only like 3 pirates in that bet when there could be five. Should I just follow her bets for now, or work out what pirate has the best chances to fill up the open spaces in those bets? Any tips?

Manta Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I'd advise against it. She plans out her bets so they're synergistic with each other. Generally, if she's choosing not to include an arena, it's because the odds are bad. :/ And adding more pirates to a bet, doesn't make it safer, it makes it more risky lol :P I posted this in the Draik Lair thread, and my advise remains the same. If you want to make your own bets, then go ahead and try it. But Jamila's bets are made that way for a reason; to minimize losses if unexpected pirates win, and to maximize gains with as little risk as possible. Changing that around is just...not a good idea. Unless you're a. really lucky or b. are REALLY experienced in food club and know exactly what you're doing. I prefer to leave her bets as they are, and just note down what I would've done differently. That way, I get a little better without sacrificing profit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought of it that way. ^.^ Now to go dig up my notebook from my desk! :ohno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 No problem! :D I'm hoping a big win pulls through for all of us today. :) She made some risky but fun bets today, so I'm rather excited lol :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbraing Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I've been looking to begin betting at the Food Club, and I want to start by copying somebody else's bets to get experience before I risk making my own. How is it possible to tell which players are the best or most reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it possible to tell which players are the best or most reliable? I go by the bets on this page: http://www.neopets.com/~Jamila233 She tells you when the day is really awful, and not to bet and such. On her bets, I've made a profit of 589428 nps :D and that's just over the past two months or so :) If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fever Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Also, besides Jamila's foodclub betting page, are there any other really good ones? I know Shazeni looks reliable... I just don't know if I want to use Jamila's guide today because she admits she was in a hurry when she made them. :guiltysmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticFission Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 there is a pretty basic strategy that i use which usually tends to net me a decent share of np. i believe i posted a guide a while back on this site--i will try to find it if anyone is interested. Edit: also, there is this guide: http://www.neopets.com/~windagame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fever Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Out of Jamila233 and Shazeni, which are more reliable, do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugrat0ne Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks for the guide, I never would have tried Food Club on my own, and I doubled my money today! Of course, I didn't bet much, still testing the waters, but it's on my daily list now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think I'm going to try Food Club betting as well :laughingsmiley:. Though I'm probably going to play it safe for now and do one arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugrat0ne Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 which guide are you referring to? the "follow the leader" bets or the "do it yourself" bets? Follow the leader. I'm not sure of myself enough to go off on my own yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Question: If I make three separate bets with one arena each are the odds counted together or separately? This is in contrast to making a single bet with three arenas where the odds are counted together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've been using Jamila's guide for 3 days now and didn't win a thing !!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've been using Jamila's guide for 3 days now and didn't win a thing !!!!!!!!!!!!! That's strange. Jamila's bets have won twice in the last three days. Could you tell us what you did, or happen to have screenshotted your bets? Even then, the games a gamble. People lose. Weird pirates win. You have to be able to take the losses with the wins, or you shouldn't be betting. Question: If I make three separate bets with one arena each are the odds counted together or separately? This is in contrast to making a single bet with three arenas where the odds are counted together. If you make a bet, and then make another bet, those are completely different bets...They will have completely separate odds based on what pirates you put in them. We bet for Food Club using the latter strategy. Ten bets with between 1-5 arena winners selected. The more arenas we include, the higher the risk (generally, unless you're going all 2:1s) and the higher the possible payout. It's just all probability.

Angeló Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I bet on 3 or 4 of the lots she suggested every day (the ones with like 32:1 or 64:1 or something) ... then I go to the Winnings page and I have none ... I honestly have no idea what I'm doing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing ... Lol well that's why! :D See, Jamila makes her ten bets to work together. If 9 of the bets lose, that 10th one still stands to make you some money. It's all about the synergy. You need to do all 10 bets or it won't work. There are some days when she'll say, you can replace this bet with something else, but that's if you actually know what you're doing lol. I didn't bother to actually learn the game, so I just follow her bets word for word. And as I said on another board, my overall profit for the past month of constant betting has been over 600k. But that means I've had total loss days in there as well. So yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 oh ok thanks :) well yesterday I made 3 bets and one of them won (26k) :D today both Jamila and Shazeni are saying bet on Peg Leg Percival in Shipwreck but when I click on it ... there's no Percival to choose ??? :sad01_anim: the petpages are saying "round 4282" but my betting page says round 4283 . is it because I collected my winnings ??

Angeló Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 One more question ... I just went to bet .. one of Jamila's lots said the odds are 6:1 but when I bet it (I chose the same names) the odds said 4:1 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugrat0ne Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Odds can change throughout the day, so if one pirate was 3:1 when Jamila bet, and later changed to 2:1, your odds would show up differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I see , thanks a lot for your help !! 2 days ago , she said the bets r VERY risky , so I didn't bet .. and she won BIG-BIG !! the day before yesterday , she said they're poor ... so I didn't bet .. and she won 3x yesterday , she said medium .. i bet .. and I LOST everything !!! .......... I just bet for today , let's see how this one turns out .. I'm betting 15k a day !!! ... I only won twice so far, once 24k and the other about 60k . I'm still losing miserably in this game :angry: <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I stopped Food Club because I lost the majority of my bets even though they were only 8:1 :(. I might pick it up again if I get encouraged. My income's pretty much stopped when I stopped betting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
