odds	bet

30x	10*n
20x	15*n
10x	30*n

So, you'll always get a revenue of 300*n (n, whatever integer multiplier). And you'll spend 64*n tropical cocktails.

If your n = 1, you'll be betting:

3 on the 100x return boat
6 on the 50x return boat
10 on the 30x return boat
15 on the 20x return boat
30 on the 10x return boat

Doing this it will get you a guaranteed 300 cocktails as a reward by spending 64 (3+6+10+15+30) pearls for the bets.
For higher n values, you'll get 600 for 128, 900 for 192, 1200 for 256 and so on.

Got 1000 cocktails from the bet, seems that I was right to bet on different girls.

Not sure what you're getting at. You seem to be agreeing with me that the phase 2 maps are better to be running instead of the phase 1 maps since P1 doesn't award the betting currency and as I mentioned P2's SGs have higher currency?

Oh! Now I get it

Jesus, im slow - thanks man

Just bet 100 on the 100x for the eventual 10k payout. Any extra goes to the 50x.

Did nutaku break the bonus stage for this event?
I ran the ultimate stage about 8 to 10 times today already and I didn`t get the bonus trigger a single time... wtf

Just RNG, i got event bonus stage 3-4 runs even sometimes one run

except for P1, thats quite hard for me to spawn event bonus stage

Surefire method to spawn bonus stages: start the map, then go afk and don't come back until 5 minutes after the stage finishes. Worked basically every time for me today.

Hey Hunter, every 64 you bet in total will get you 300 back. To spread out your 64 in bets, follow his table, e.g., bet 3 on the one paying 100 to 1, bet 6 on the one paying 50 to 1 etc.

If you have 100 pearls, you may want to get to 128 pearls and follow the guide above instead ofbetting 20 on each as you get a better return on average. You miss out on a big payout though if the 100 to 1 or 50 to 1 wins, but you get the guaranteed return of 300 per 64 spent.

Yes, I agree, P2 are more effective than P1, but if you only look at the cocktails, P2-3 (6.2 c/stam) is more effective than P2-4 (6.125 c/stam), and the bonus 50 (20 c/stam) gives more than the bonus 80 (18.75 c/stam).

On the other hand, you get 15 bettings points from P2-3 (0.3b/stam) and 30 betting points from bonus 50 (0.6b/stam).
And indeed, on P2-4 you get only 20betting points (0.25b/stam), BUT the bonus 80 gives 50 betting points (0.625b/stam).


edit: Aaand shop is clear, thanks to the race. Now, I can buy those gold ^^

Well, Rowin' Rowan won this time, so betting 60 pearls on each boat netted me 3,000 cocktails this time.
