$9000 Spin

The admins mentioned a little after I joined Moola that someone will be hitting the $9000 spin soon. Little did I know, soon meant about 6 months. But someone did finally hit the $9000 search and win booster. Right now, the only proof we have is that the spin showed up on the event feed. I hope that Form22 (the member who hit the jackpot) will post in the forum soon.

Here is a screenshot of the feed that NeedLotsOfMoola posted on the forums (I cut it down to size for the blog).

Congrats to Form22 for hitting the big one. I haven't seen the guy post on the forums yet, but most likely he is way to happy to even bother.

Hope you all got some great presents too!

Booster Blitz Disappointment

Half way through the Booster Blitz, I began to write a post about how disappointed I was with Moola.com for not being prepared for the Blitz. I am now rewriting the post because even though the Blitz began very poorly, the admins were able to fix everything. It took them 2hrs to do it, but at least it was handled.


If you missed the first 2 hours of the Blitz, don't worry you didn't miss much. The number of people attending the booster blitz escalated very quickly, there was over 2191 people actively playing the games. But everything began to crash. I do not know exactly what went wrong, but it seemed like the servers were unable to handle the traffic.

The site began to slow down and lag like crazy. It took over a minute just to get to choosing a level and then longer to find a game. Although that the lag was bad, what made it worse was that the site began logging users out at random, so if you were just about to choose a level, you might have needed to start from the login page again. Worse still, I got kicked out of a game I was about to win a few times and lost the moola I was risking. To top it all off, the booster wheel was hardly ever seen.

But to the admins credit, they were able to fix everything. At about the 3hr mark, everything began to run at blazing speeds again, faster then Britney's Spears sister can get pregnant! Best of all the Booster wheel began to shell out bonuses again. It still pisses me off that I wasted time trying to play Moola when everything was just broken. I just hope the admins are better prepared the next time around.

I know that people like to say "stop complaining, it is free money" but in actuality it is not free money. We, the users, spend our time on the site viewing ads which in return makes the site money. So, no it is not free money. If it is free money, we would not have to spend our time watching 30 second ads just to make a penny.

Anyways, the admins fixed the lag issues and they will also be looking into the time out problems and refund people the money they may have unjustly lost in a game.

I got about two and half hours worth of gaming in this time around. My balance is currently at $13.

Booster Blitz Tips

As you may already know, the Booster Blitz is coming up very soon. The Blitz is a great way for you to get your games in and increase your chances of making more money. All you do is play lots of games and hope you get an booster wheel spin between each game. To help you out during the Booster Blitz, here are a few tips that I learned from the last event.

1. DO NOT start a game and not make your first move just to get to the Booster wheel. If you get caught, an admin will take all your booster winnings away from you. This happened during the last Booster Blitz.

2. If you are playing Gold Rush and after the first couple of turns you know that it will end up as a tie, I suggest that you let the time run out so that you can move on to the next game. The more time you save, the more games you can play.

3. DO NOT complain if you do not get a spin after your first few games. The spins are not guaranteed after each game. So some people may not get a spin at all during the event. Keep playing, you may just be lucky if you play enough games.

4. If you plan on visiting the forums, open a separate window to do so. Use one window to play the games, and you can use the other to browse the forums. Once again, this will allow you to maximize your time during the Booster Blitz.

5. If you are playing with a large balance, the booster blitz is a great time to find new opponents on higher levels. Make sure you have enough money in your balance to play those higher levels.

6. Don't forget to have fun. It's just a game. Don't get to frustrated. If you don't have luck today, there is always another Booster Blitz

7. If you are not doing well on a higher level, play a lower level and just hope for the booster wheel.

8. Most importantly Do Not forget about other priorities. Sure the Booster Blitz will allow you to PROBABLY make some additional cash, but this does not mean that you should ditch everything else in your life. There will be more Booster Blitz's in the future.

Best of luck to everyone. If you have any tips you would like to share, please add them in the comments (you don't need to register to comment)

December Booster Blitz

Great news, as the admins had mentioned previously, we are getting another Booster Blitz this year. Wednesday Dec. 19th from 6pm to midnight (EDT).

This is very short notice compared to last year, but who am I to complain, the Booster Blitz allowed me to hit my $100 goal faster last time. Hope to see many of you there. Don't forget to verify your account before then.

So Sad

Yes I know this has NOTHING to do with Moola.com, but it is important news! Jessica Alba's representative officially announced to People Magazine that Jessica Alba is pregnant (no, that is not a typo). She should be having her baby sometime this coming summer.

Jessica Alba is pregnant with boyfriend Cash Warren's child, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer," says rep Brad Cafarelli.
Alba, 26, has dated Warren, 28, since the fall of 2004 after they met on the set of The Fantastic Four, on which Warren was a director's assistant.
The couple have been seen being affectionate together in Los Angeles in recent days, shopping for mattresses last Saturday and attending a Lakers game, where they were spotted kissing Sunday.

There is no doubt that this is a sad day for half the male population out there. How can anyone do such a thing to her! Jessica Alba is a dream girl, in terms of looks and from what I can tell from her interviews. I don't think I have seen a horrible picture of her. I know I can't say the same thing about her movies, but I watch them anyways.

In all seriousness though. I do think she is gorgeous and wish her the very best with her new child.

First Cash Out

Argh... I just can't seem to make any progress lately. After losing about $30 dollars, I decided it is time to make my first cash out. I am cashing out about $95 $90 which will leave me about $.30. So I am practically stating from nothing again. It will be interesting to see how long it will take me to get back to $100 as well as find out how long it will take for me to get my check. I will update everyone as soon as I get my check.

Edit: Corrected cash out amount

Paypal Cash Outs

After a reading through a large amount of posts requesting Paypal as a form of cashing out and a few months of hearing the admins tell us that the feature is coming. It has FINALLY been added to the cashout system!

This is great news... why? Because this will mean that members will not have to complain about banks charging a fee for cashing in a foreign check. But more importantly, this MIGHT mean that we will get our money faster. This definitely means we don't have to stare at the mailbox waiting for a check.

However, there are two catches.
1. You need to cash out once via a check to have the Paypal option activated. This will allow Moola's security team to go through their process first.

2. Your Paypal account needs to be a verified account.

In my opinion, these are reasonable requests. Moola, Thanks for listening to your members requests.

Month Report: November

I took a "break" from playing on Moola.com for the month of November. It was a combination of me getting a promotion at work as well as the girlfriend complaining that I was spending to much time on the computer. So besides the first week of November, most of my the time I spent on Moola was either on the forums or using the search & win wheel.

On the 6th of November, it was the booster blitz and that helped me surpass my goal of hitting $100. It was after the blitz that I decided to stop playing as much. I spun the wheel 83 times this month for a total of $4.87.

Once again, like every other month, I seem to be winning my lower level games just fine, but when I try to play a higher level game, my odds of winning just seems horrible. I know this is just an assumption, but I think part of the problem is the addition of the new event feed. As you can see by looking at my chart, when I started playing again at the end of the month, my balance started to decrease again. Sure it could be that I was rusty, but I just don't want to admit that.

By any means, my new goal for December is to hit $250. Sure this may not seem like a huge goal, but with the amount of time I have left to play, I think I will have a hard time reaching this goal.

September Consisted Of:
51 Games of Hi/Lo (25 Wins, 8 Tied, 18 Losses)
170 Games of Gold Rush (86 Wins, 20 Tied, 64 Losses)
83 Search & Win Spins
39 Referral Boosters
40 Booster Blitz

Lessons Learned:
1. Not a big fan of the event feed
2. Booster Blitz is awesome!
3. Avoid playing Doremi. Shes to good!

Event Feed

Love it or hate it, the new event feed is here to stay (for now at least). Personally, I am not thrilled about the existence of such a feed. Mainly because the feed destroys the purpose of being anonymous in higher level games. I understand that it is there to assure questioning/new/curious members that there are people winning higher level games, but it also gives away peoples Gold Rush strategies.

There has been numerous times in which I was able to figure out who I was playing by just keeping the feed open in a different window. Because there aren't as many players on the higher level games, it is easy to distinguish who you were playing and assume that you will be playing them again in the next game. After playing the same person a few times, you can adjust your strategy to work around your opponents strategy.

Sure, I found it interesting when I saw someone win $600+ in a Hi/Lo game, or when I see the amount of referral bonuses being handed out. But I do not think this feed is worth sacrificing my strategy that had been working just fine before.

A New Gold Rush Solver

As I was reading the forums today, someone mentioned MoolaSolvers.com. The site claims that the tool provides the users with at least a 50% chance of winning it's games. I have not personally used this tool in a game, but from just messing around with it, my impression is that it can be very useful.

If you have read my previous posts, you may realize that I am very interested in looking at statistics. This is one aspect I like about the site which other solvers do not have. The site will give you stats on wins and losses so you can see how well solver has performed to date. As of this posting, the current win % of the solver is 59.8%. Give it a shot!

If you do use the solver, let me know how it works, I will update this post when I find time to mess around.
