While the vast majority of people wanting to Monopoly McDonald's each year for awards (including the Boardwalk game piece prize of $ 1 million), there is a group of people waiting for the game for a different reason - it's when they win a little extra money to spend.
Actually, there is a small group of people waiting for a game every year, so they can make a few hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of extra dollars. What these people have done is to realize that there is a big difference between playing McDonald Monopoly game to win and make money through gambling.
The simple trick to making money is not playing McDonald's Monopoly. The actual odds of winning any prizes worth significant value are extremely thin (his best chance was actually the pre-contest promotion), but it provides a service to those who are committed players can be an excellent opportunity to make a little extra money. If you are wondering how much money a person can do that by doing this, last year a reader reported earning more than $ 1000 game. So how can anyone make several hundred dollars off McDonald's Monopoly game? With a well thought out plan, and understanding the dynamics that make people pay for the game pieces.
Understanding the likelihood
One of the main reasons games like Monopoly McDonald's are so successful is that most people have little knowledge about the probabilities of the game to work. Not understand the sum, people play to win a prize usually collect game pieces back. In other words, instead of trying to pick just the rare pieces, try to collect all the pieces.
The most logical approach to win in this game is to try to pick up a piece of rare game. Once you have the rare piece, you can get the common pieces to complete the set of properties with relative ease on their own or through other means, such as friends, eBay or Craigslist. There is no reason to go out and spend money to get common parts until you have a rare piece in hand.
This, however, is not how most people approach the game. Most people listed trying to collect as many game pieces as possible. Thus, if they manage to get one of the rare game pieces, then they already have other pieces of property needed to win. As a result, people end up overpaying for parts common property when it comes to filling as many game pieces as they can on their white boards.
Selling Pieces
One way that people make money with this game is selling parts that accumulate on websites like eBay and Craigslist. The strategy tends to work best in the early days of the war when they do not understand the odds are quick to fill as much of the board as they can. Game pieces can sell for several dollars when there happens to be a bidding war for even common parts. Most are registered on the first day for $ 1 or more.
As the game progresses, you can still make money selling the game pieces to line codes. These often sell for $ 0.25 or more each, so if you are able to gain a lot of game pieces, you can earn a little this way. Most people who make money off the game make by collecting as many pieces as possible and sell them to others.
Sales of Instant Win Prizes
Even more lucrative to sell parts of common property and codes online is to sell instant prizes. You can eat these medium potatoes yourself, or you can sell the game piece to someone who will use it. Most of the time, the prizes are sold for about 50% of its sale value, but for those who collect a lot of game pieces, you are sure to come across these instant prizes, so can sell for money.
Inserting codes
This is a new way that at least one person is making money with the game that he wrote to tell me about it. Apparently there are some people who want to say they have won prizes online games but do not want to be bothered with the time it takes to input the codes in the online portion of the game. The person making the complete service for these people. Collect game pieces and insert the codes for them on your own, and to keep the prizes they can win. It charges $ 1 per code entered, and states that it is making $ 50 per day to do this by several people.
The key conclusion from this is that the way to make money from McDonald's Monopoly is not playing the game itself, but also to provide a service that makes it easier for those who do play the game. If you do, you can put a little extra money in their pockets each year the game becomes.
