Last year was 800 but the situation has changed, because of some mobsters who abused mob safe many times... Now is 500 that you can use to succeed and if you fail, need to wait 24 hours to try other shots. Hunt for a prize of $ 40 or $ 50 not for 20 or 30. Good luck.

this change didnt bring anything to us,even you can use only 500 mob shots in 24 hours,because only one time (it was few days ago),we had prize of 50 $!till then we didnt had bigger then 40 $,so people still play mob safe and still put right combination on that day!

I thought it was 800 , good to know that the maximum number of shots that can be used to crack the safe is 500 . Personally , I wouldn't mind if they were just 200 , or even better only 100 . That way you would need more luck , no cheatings would be possible , or at least the cheaters would know that cheating wouldn't increase dramatically their chances . Still they would have to be rewarded by lack factor very much if they wanted to win. So why not , 100 (or less ???) would be better .
I mean, in addition , if I had to use all my few 350 shots ( few in comparison to other members' who claim to have 800 , 1000 , maybe more ??? ) just for a win , especially if I didn'twin in the end , that would be a catastrophe , cause I would have to wait one million years to win again such an amount of safe shots . But if they were just 100 or less , this limit would also protect players and their shots from very costly overtilt and unluckiness . Me to restrain my self to a specific number with self control , that would not be easy , especially on tilt, especially after using too many shots , then the urgent desire to get the win by all means would be unstoppably fatal .
I also wait for the prize to go up at least 40 $ , although rarelly I might use very very few shots for lesser prizes , in case I 'll be lucky and crack it cheaply .
Be carefull when exactly the next day that increase the prize begins , it would be a terrible waste , while you keep on trying using your points , to see the prize has gone suddenly up , which means that the code has changed , and you have to play again from the beginning using all used coded , such a unlucky terrible waste it would be .
Also playing in very rush hours (for most players , maybe especially Saturday/Sunday or no ??? just a thought....) , like I did last time , I don't believe that would be very good for your chances to win .
Good luck all BRM members.

I readed to the mobsters and I couldn´t stop to think: how many times you used to acumulate 800 shots? You are calculated how many daily shots you are losing within this time? If I read my history in Bank Roll Mob, I think that I would accumulate 800 shots (with prizes of Mob Calendar) in two years at least. So I would lost around 700 daily shots in these years. Bad business for me!

Antonis321 this istn cheating,this is normal way to guess right combination!if you have shots from mob calendar or you buy then,its your right to do it and to use them!nobody cheat if he have 500 shots on account! I have 1188 shots on account and still dont want to use them and all are from mob calendar!

We are actually already considering lowering it even further from the current "500" limit. The purpose would be to spread out the prizes more, so more Mobsters have a chance of winning and people would play it more actively instead of just accumulating and then spend it all at once

There is a way to get these attempts tested automatically? because in the manual mode is very hard and sometimes is stressing. Those who have many hits waste a lot of time to open this mob safe and it's pretty upsetting.

There is a way, it's called "Mob Draw". There you purchase all the tickets you want, and you get them all "tested" every Sunday at noon when the prizes at drawn.
For the Mob Safe, you of course have to do it manually. It's not supposed to be easy.

I hope that everything will stay same and that you wont change this system that is now!what we would have if you set on 100 or 200 mob shots!?I have so many shots and I never got prize at mob safe,even I used several times 800 shots and now I will never guess right combination!
Posted by antonis321: That way you would need more luck , no cheatings would be possible, or at least the cheaters would know that cheating wouldn't increase dramatically their chances.
Dude, I don't know what you would consider cheating, but multiple members can tell you here that even if you have 800 shots at one go finding the right combination is not a guarantee. Not only you have to pick the perfect starting point but you have to consider others are trying to open the safe at the same time with you - especially if the prize reaches $40 or $50 - so you have to be lucky and fast. Saying that the extra effort is cheating is weird to me.

As I thought only in the random lucky, I thought that if you have more shots (daily+prizes), you have more probabilities to win some times. But it appears that the hard work of try number by number (praying to not change the combination), maybe successful...

I had no idea that the limit had been changed. Doesn't really matter to me tho, I like the change, it gives you a 50/50 chance of winning if you've saved up to 500 shots. I have 600+ at the moment so I might give it a shot soon and we'll see what happens. Would be nice to crack the safe for ones! I just need to find the time to actually go through all the combinations.

Just think 500 shots , 50 shots , 5 shots , how many times you have to try on each case , think , think again , once more , then come again ant tell me the same thing
Ofcourse BRM has ways to catch cheaters , I have no doubt of it at all . Maybe no action at all is needed on that cause , i don't know , I am sharing my humble thought
But for more chances for everyone / better chances for all members with few shots / fighting better the losing-due-to-tilt -all-shots-and-not-even-win (lol) syndrome , yes , I believe what I said is good

I don't believe I said sth like that . Everyone can use his shots whenever he wants , and as many as he wants taking in consideration the max number of shots allowed everytime by BRM .
I just shared my thoughts for sth that I consider better , not only for me , because I don't have many shots as if I want sth that fits only to me or whatever , but for everyone .
Would it be better for you to have 12 times to use your shots or 2 only ??? 800 shots /1000 numbers sounds a better deal , ofcourse , but still you could lose , even with 950/1000 (if it was allowed ) there is a chance not to hit the number then only 388 for next trial lol . And if this argument doesn't persuade you or you think it is wrong statistically , consider the fact that you are not alone , the same time many (and how many you don't know) members try , so even if you want to try 100-200 numbers , another member might hit a number between 100-200 in that time you would also be trying , and hit it , even if he has 25 shots only , even in his 10th attempt . Also , the manual way to put numbers , when it doesn't remember/maintain the previous numbers that you entered (lets say 158 and next number you want to try is 159 , it doesn't keep 158 so as to put the 9 , you have to put the numbers from the beginning that consumes a lot of time to put the codes , worse for your chances to win )
If you don't agree that a change is better against cheating methods , then you should agree it's better for your chances to win , protection from tilting and trying and loss of all your shots , etc .
Anyway , it's just my thoughts , maybe I am wrong , I am not the one to judge it

It's time consuming putting again the numbers , but that's the game if they find a way to keep numbers on the number pad , or another better system , I will be the first to applaud it Nor game is 100% perfect unfortunatelly everywhere in the world .

That would be nice

Better be sure when the code changed and the prize went up , it would be extremmelly bad , also sad , to lose because of that

Today the prize is $40 so it worth to try. Chances with 500 shots is 1:2 so it's pretty big
PS. Admin - could you change the message after try? Eg. your code XXX was wrong, try again. It will show, if I clicked code for sure. Because now, sometimes I don't sure if I pick the code or not.
EDIT: Over 300 tries and... no luck
------------ 500 shots and nothing... My palms are sore...
------------ It will be nice to convert MobSafe shots to MobPoints It will be better for our hands.

I'm sorry because you didn't succeed and i know that is very hard. I missed with 800 attempts and many mobsters the same. These mob shots are hard earned in the mob calendar and a conversion was good. This will not happen because there are many members who have a lot of shots and will put the site in difficulty...

antonis321 but again I dont understand what is cheating and how can you cheat on mob safe!? yes,its very hard to click so many times and that you need to put every number for every single combination,but even with this way of clicking people still guess right combination,but some of us cant do it with 800 shots!

But I think the ratio conversion could be 1:1 - so 800 shots will give you 800MP ~$8. Not too bad.

That is the exact reason of my fear about accumulating many shots! I never have luck with this, so I think that I might waste 700 daily shots to accumulate 800 Mob Calendar´s prizes, and when I have it, I would loose anyway, or the combination change in the middle of my long, long, entering of numbers one by one...
that consumes a lot of time to put the codes , worse for your chances to win )
