Cool. I think I'll like my stay in this forum.
Very useful, guys.

Thanks a bunch! I got a silver trophy thanks to you

Speaking of which, I like to reward people who write game guides that get me trophies. Any particular items you're collecting at the moment?

nothing at the moment that i can think of. aside from sneggs (kidding). seriously, neopoints arent a worry for me. its the words that are appreciated and knowing that spending the time writing what was an ungodly number of words goes appreciated.

great guide going to give it a try..

One question though you stated:

"Take the 4 races, and add up the percentages. If they add up to less than 100, there is an arbitrage there. If it adds up to 100 or more, there is not an arbitrage."

Do you mean racers instead or races?

Ack, editing mistake! Blame that cran_b person... who is totally not me, by the way, because I don't make editing mistakes. *Whistles*

just started food club a few days ago because of this article, and i think its great, but i didnt remember the article saying this would happen "ERROR : You have already placed the maximum number of bets for this round!"

it cut me off at 10, and there were three rounds with winning bets, so i got through 2.5 rounds before it cut me off

i was going to try the multiple race bets today too

spent: 8906
outcomes: 7040, 10560

most likely i will still gain 1.5k though

It does say that, I believe a few times... but at least once:

Quote:Depending on your longevity, you are capped at how many neopoints you can wager, since you are limited to 10 bets, and each bet is capped.

And the cap is actually a good thing... otherwise some of us would be wasting a lot more money.

Yesterday was the first time I ever tried food club and had a
three-race monty. I also did the three hedges and this was my result.

Great Guide

Whew, the hedge bets confuse me. But thanks sirhatter for opening my eyes to this!

great guide, I'm already 500k up. Thanks.

Excellent guide though being only able to make 10 bets a day is limiting, particularly when more than 2 events show promise.  Nice, easy money earner.

Thanks, thanks, thanks,

Update - over a 2 week period, using a lazy version of the guide, I am averaging 27.5% return which in NPs terms is a cheap codestone every 2 days for about 5 minutes work.
