I just upped my max to 500, then max bet every game over 60%.
Is this the move? I had gotten my max bet up to 200 and was betting all the favorites but found my bankroll fluctuated wildly.

I made a second account and instead prioritized passive income for a good team on that one.

i did this and just max bet from the best odds to the worst, and when i ran out of coins i'd beg for more and keep betting. if you're not begbetting every hour, raise the max and keep going. by the end of the week i had gotten the maxbet maxed out completely and had like 40k coins
I did this and was able to max out my max bet by this morning.

I made a bunch of money and bought 1000 peanuts in an effort to Do My Part towards the million peanut consumption metagoal people seem to think exists, but turns out this squirrel won't eat peanuts automatically he just lets me eat 2 at a time. Sorta anticlimactic.

Once you get to the maximum bet limit of 800, the gambling part gets pretty... boring?

I hit the limit this past Monday evening and now I've got ~60k. What is left to do here? I guess I should check out the Tacos discord for voting ideas?

Been playing two accounts the last few weeks and somehow I managed to straddle the redistribution line. One of them had 13k coins and was in the 99%. The other was 14k and in the 1%.

If I were the devs (I'm not) I'd make the Idol Top 3 be based on the number of payouts during the season. If you switch mid-season the totals you accumulated for that Idol will remain, you'll just start adding to the new idol's current value. I don't know how to balance that between Hitting and Pitching, however.
Balance it by ranking on total coins paid out for each idol

From what I've seen the last few seasons, you can safely retain about the number of coins needed to max bet every game on the first day without getting redistributed.

When the max was 800 I had 12k and 13k on two accounts and only the higher one got redistributed. Last season (with the max bet now 1000) I had 10k on both and neither got chopped.

Looking at the division related star redistribution and things are... interesting.

The Crabs (63-12) are going to have to give stars to the worst team in their division, currently the Firefighters or Millenials both 37-38.

The Tacos (25-50) are going to have to give stars to the best team in their division, currently the Flowers at... 37-38.

I see that Axel Trololol has just crept back up into the #3 idol spot. Seems important if the top-3 are getting sacrificed as many suspect. It would really be something if the best three non-Crabs players got sacrificed and the Crabs escaped it completely.

what are Peanut players and does that have anything to do with Jaylen Hotdogfingers?

So far 1 of the three Peanuts is in the top-3 idols. There is only one more inter-game window left, will be interesting to see how much movement happens later this hour.

Peanuts Bong and Holloway are up to 6 and 7. But I'm guessing a fair number of people don't follow things closely enough to go for the Peanut idol thing. Jessica will likely remain on top.

red line is still there and it sure seems like the moment that mattered was when the peanut showed up after the regular season ended

EPT will improve the quality of the league over time, as it gives stars to bad teams every year without stealing them from good teams. Seems good imo

The Tacos are 5-1 and I feel like the only real consequence of this will be reducing their window for Extended Party Time improvement

The Tacos stayed good long enough to steal stars in the bloodbath

Looking like we still have a lot of "set it and forget it" fans on the Idols. Top 4 are still the best players, so there's not room for all 5 tacos pitchers plus the 3 peanuts.

Yeah Patterson leads the league in strikeouts this year and Trololol isn't even top-10. The same was true in season 6.

bawfuls
Oct 28, 2009

The idol goal was all set right as the hour turned, but at the last second PolkaDot made a jump up to #8 and knocked Tacos pitcher Wyatt down to 11

So the Tacos are going to have 4 shelled pitchers and 1 really good pitcher? Maybe??
