bollocks LOL

You know that the phase 2 maps are almost always more efficient in terms of currency:stam right? Not to mention the higher currency event SGs.

P1, Mission 1: 10 stam, 50 cocktails (5 currency/stam)
P2, Mission 1: 15 stam, 95 cocktails (6.3 currency/stam)

P1, Mission 2: 20 stam, 105 cocktails (5.3 currency/stam)
P2, Mission 2: 30 stam, 185 cocktails (6.2 currency/stam)

P1, Mission 3: 40 stam, 210 cocktails (5.3 currency/stam)
P2, Mission 3: 50 stam, 310 cocktails (6.2 currency/stam)

Ready? Steady? Place your bets!

Ok, who do you bet on? Man, random girls winning makes it hard for us to bet on. I've betted on Southern Cross and Hollyhock, since they seem 2nd best after Aster. 15 minutes till race begin.

all in on Yulan, I have faith

aaaand yulan didn't won. so we can't be sure who will win tomorrow.

So, the best strategy - to bet equal amount on every boat?

It depends of what you want. If you aim for a fixed revenue, you can do this:

odds	bet
100x	3*n
50x	6*n
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.

Can you explain again but in real people talk LOL

Im not good at math

and with the predictions and advise being seemingly pointless....pick one or spread your bets

Wtf man, that was damn unexpected. None of us got it right. Here's part of it:
"Uh-oh! It looks like Hollyhock and Aster just got hit and both of them are lagging far behind! So it's between Gladiolus, Southern Cross and Yulan! Ugh, it seems like Gladiolus is in the lead now, Yulan just inches behind, Southern Cross trying to keep up, wait, it looks like Hollyhock and Aster are catching up fast to them! Will they get neck to neck with the current lead? The first three are maintaining their positions, not wanting to give up. Ohhhhhhhhh......anddddd.........GLADIOLUS WINS THE RACE! Damn, that was a close match, especially Yulan who was right behind Gladiolus! Well, stay tuned at the same time tomorrow for the next race!"

Only have Manyus, presents and the goldpile left. So I'm not too worried about clearing the event store. Not sure I'll manage the entire goldpile, and I can always use more gold, but I'll definitely take a good chunk out of it.
