Manta Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Uhm... I'm trying for today's bet.. At least there's some guides on who to bet on.. But I always wondered...Are the items to be considered when betting? (Ex; x pirates says he likes y item) It's too late to bet for today, the results are already in :( Looks like Peg Leg stole a win from Gooblah <_< The one day that i remember to bet, lol :P Quote
Carmichael Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 It's too late to bet for today, the results are already in :( Looks like Peg Leg stole a win from Gooblah <_< The one day that i remember to bet, lol :P :) Lol it's perfectly fine to me since I did the bet yesterday I think... But I'm getting impatient on seeing if the bets the guides told are good. Even though...since I'm not old enough...I can win like 30k or so....And that's nothing. :sad01_anim: Quote
Wembly Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah, I knew I should have made a bet without Goobah. It was time for an upset for him. Oh well, here's to tomorrow. :rolleyes_anim: Quote
rugrat0ne Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I made a Gooblah safety, but I never counted on Peg Leg to be in it at all. Carmichael, no one knows for sure which factors have the most weight in determining winners, but two items that seem to factor are a pirate's strength, and his food adjustment, which is his Favorites minus his Allergies. So if, for example, Gooblah's got 3 meat dishes in a round, and 1 slushie, his F.A. would be +2. EDIT: Can't sleep so here's a bit of a breakdown for 4 of the bets I follow: Goob and Buck for the most part. SEO stands for Sir Edmund Ogletree. Tracey/Jamila233 -Goob x Buck x (Bonnie, Blackbeard, Orvinn) -Goob x (Lucky, Buck) x (SEO, Fran) -Goob x Buck -Goob x Tailhook -Buck x Sproggie Good set of bets. Leaves off Scurvy Dan from TI for a Tailhook safety instead. I'd say medium, and so does she. Lukas/Shazeni (actually got his up early!) -Goob -Goob x Buck -Goob x (Treasure Island) x (Lucky, Buck) All Gooblah, all the way. A bit risky. I'd substitute the lone Gooblah bet for something else, personally. Christie/Emeryn_M1R3M -Squire Venable -Goob x (PegLeg, Tailhook) -Goob x (Bonnie, Orvinn, Blackbeard) x Buck -Goob x Dan x (SEO, Fran) x Buck -Goob x Dan x Lucky -Sproggie x Buck Similar to Tracey, but instead of leaving Scurvy Dan out, she multiplies him by SEO and Fran, and still manages to get the Tailhook safety, and one with PegLeg too. Squire Venable covers another upset by a 13:1. You could switch it for Sproggie/Buck, I think. Her rating is Medium-safe, and I'd agree. Hugo/Malvoliow -Goob x Buck -Goob x Lucky -Goob x (Treasure Island) x Buck -Goob x (Hidden Cove) x Buck Gooblah all the way again. Nice stacking bets, if you are sure about the Goob-man and Buck winning. So Christie is safest, followed by Tracey. Hugo's good if you think Gooblah and Buck can pull it off, Lukas is an alternative if you like Gooblah, but want some safety on Buck. Quote
xLaura Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I'm 97k up, lost like...30k in the past few days due to crappy odds...i think im slowly started to learn more about odds and such because as i bet i think "Oh i would have gone with this pirate over this pirate but ill just follow the guide" and im occasionally right Quote
rugrat0ne Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 That's how I started doing it. I'd write down what the guide said, and then wrote down what I would do differently, then see who was right. Quote
xLaura Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Jamila's bets keep angering me, might start going with someone else from now on..too many of these "oops, forgot to cover that one" have happened lately -.- Quote
rugrat0ne Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Hugo's are pretty good, I think. Interesting to see what Gooblah does today, he's at 6:1. I've never seen him with such bad odds. I bet on him anyway, but only with about half my bets. Quote
xLaura Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 fricken tracey, thats all i gotta say about the last week -.- Quote
RoboHissi Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I tried Food Club for the first time today, and won over 100K! :laughingsmiley: One of my bets was Lucky McKyriggan, Gooblah, Young Sproggie (32:1) and on that alone I got 155,456 NP in winnings for a 4,858 NP bet! I should really try this more often... Quote
Xepha Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 As I was saying to Co, yesterday I made 30k profit by not betting :P I'm following Tracey's today. Just because those faerie quests start to be pricey and I need an income while I finish my midterm assignments! EDIT: Won 48k today. Good :) Quote
rugrat0ne Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I won 32:10 today, which was a nice change from my luck lately. Also, I won a game of "Food Club Survivor" on the Games Board, so that was fun. Quote
IrishLiz Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I tried Food Club for the first time today, and won over 100K! :laughingsmiley: One of my bets was Lucky McKyriggan, Gooblah, Young Sproggie (32:1) and on that alone I got 155,456 NP in winnings for a 4,858 NP bet! I should really try this more often... I thought about adding Gooblah today to the other two but I just did Lucky and Sproggie. Still a nice win though. The 100K+ wins are the most exciting! :) I think part of food club is knowing which days not to bet... overall though, I've been trying it pretty consistently for the last month or so and I've made a fairly decent profit.

Wembly Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Goobah killed me 2 days in a row when he lost since I sadly had him in pretty much every bet and I guess it was kind of on spite that I refused to pick him today. Pulled out a 16:10 today but my bet feel so wimpy compared to a lot of other people since I can't even bet 1000 yet since I've got a baby account compared to a lot of people's account. Quote
youngrace Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Also, I won a game of "Food Club Survivor" on the Games Board, so that was fun. i think i may have seen you! congrats on winning survivor ^^ Quote
xLaura Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 not gonna bet today...risk/reward factor just isn't there for me Quote
Hexy Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Hhhmmm, so how are you guy's thoughts on today's odds? They seem ewwy to me... Anyone betting or following someone else's bets? I think I need guidance today :laughingsmiley: Quote
xLaura Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Hhhmmm, so how are you guy's thoughts on today's odds? They seem ewwy to me... Anyone betting or following someone else's bets? I think I need guidance today :laughingsmiley: i like that its relying on two strong people to win..scurv and buck...but i never liked not going for goob Quote
Wembly Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I'm pretty much relying on the scurvy/buck combo today too. The last few times I've been all in with Goobah he's failed and made me loose horribly <_< so I don't really feel compelled to bet with him right now. Quote
Hexy Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Mine's pretty much a mish mash of fran, sir, ol, dan, buck, orvin, lucky, tail, puffo :worried: Just hope 1 or 2 bets hit, and I'll be happy :whistle: Quote
xLaura Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 i can not remember that last time i bet on orvin...i did a stuff-a-roo bet today just for shiggles..paired him with scurvy and buck lol i follow jamila's guide so if scurvy and buck lose basically all my bets are useless Quote
Wembly Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Finally a nice return on my bets. 32:10 today, not too shabby. Quote
xLaura Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Can someone possibly explain to me what one means when they say 32:10 ? Quote
Wembly Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 It's the ratio of the amount won to the number of bets placed. So I had a 24:1 bet, a 8:1 bet and a 4:1 bet that I won today so adding up my winning bets equals 36 and I made 10 total bets so I won a ratio of 36:10 its much easier to compare what people are winning this way since everyone can bet different amounts and I've only got a baby account so I don't really win that much compared with people who have accounts for like 6 years. Quote
Hexy Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Sad won nothing today :sad02: Guess should have just followed blindly XD Would have won 24:10 if I had done so... Quote
