Chances of cracking the safe are 999 to 1 (1/1000) as there are 1,000 different safe combinations.
If the safe is <$50 then it is negative EV - as each shot costs you 5c.
If the is exactly $50 - then its neutral EV - break-even money
If the safe is >$50 then it is positive EV - if you keep buyin shots every time the safe goes over $50 then you should ultimately make a profit. Although, this doesn't happen often enough and you're not allowed to buy enough shots at once, for this to be *really* exploitable.
Also - now that people win points and safe shots on the mob calendar - it's pretty rare to see the safe over $30.
Regarding the mob draw - it's pretty much always break-even money.. It's also great in that you win the exact amount you need to cash out - so if you've saved up 1000pts then I recommend jamming them all in the draw and hope for the best.

well said your chances of cracking the safe are small- but if you just go the free way- that is just take one shot a day- you have nothing to lose, and you just take 1/1000 shot...regarding buying additional shots, i doubt there is big reason for doing this, unless you form a gang and you all buy enough shots to have 1000 goes at safe, but this is not very worthy in the long run, and besides someone can just crack safe at first attempt...

About the safe, there are 1,000 possible combinations, so if you buy 100 shots, you will have 10% probabilities in opening it. I ususaly only use my free daily attempt, but this might be a good strategy. You should define first which numbers do you want to try, either a range of numbers (from AAA to BBB) or a serie of combinations. And don’t forget: you should go for it all, using all the combinations in the shortest period possible, because if it happens for someone to open it while you are trying, or if the amount in the safe changes while you are trying, that means the combination to open it has also changed, and you have to start from the beginning.

I never bought safe shots. I did use my 50 or something i won, when it was 30$ in the safe. Bad thing is, when you win shots, that you cant use your daily free until you wasted you extra shots. I tryed to use , but then my extra shots did get -1, so i didnt wait more
i have won it one time with 50 safe shots . of corse ther is luck involved you could have 500 shots and start at 000 or start at 500 and work your way up one by one . if you pick the wromg one you wont win. the only way to win anything is to play as much as you can

There is a chance of not getting a hit, either you get a single shot or you buy more. Of course you have more chances with more shots, but you will need to be lucky too.
If you notice about the draws, there are members that win often, with the free shots won at the calendar. Of course you may buy the max of shots for the draw(5000) and go for more than one prizes and getting nothing at all (see jessthehuman )

Now what are the chances on that? Buying only five tickets and winning with the second try And i see it was a nice amount. Was your first number 500 and decided to try the numbers in row or it was random picks?

i never crack the safe... always guess the wrong numbers.. yes, there's too much combination wht we can do is only hope for lucky shots.. even that u have 1000 shots
and you all buy enough shots to have 1000 goes at safe, but this is not very worthy in the long run, and besides someone can just crack safe at first attempt...
