    I've done a couple before but my luck never seems to get me anything more than a bunch of junk items XD

    Most of the time, you won't turn profit so that's why I never bother.

    I could actually buy one every 1 or 2 days and not have it hurt my pocket but the average turn makes me think the money could be much better spent elsewhere, like neggs or something.

    Though that IS the nature of gambling lol.

    I have done hundreds in my time... Nerkmids, TMaps, Space Maps, Spooky Maps, Underwater Maps.. You name it I've done it!

    I just can't help myself... I LOOOOOVE to gamble. On neopets that is.. means I'm not wasting real money... I can still control my gambling though :p

    My last session was errrm... 10 TMaps I think... Majority bad stuff... A few UB's worth what the maps were worth. I think I JUST came below what I paid.

    Nerkmids... same thing. I do remember my first nerkmid.. I got a pink paint brush :D

    Aaaah.. why did someone have to mention this :p Once I sell some stuff.. I'll have to do some more!!

    I've never done any besides the lab and petpet ones. Personally, I know more people who don't profit more than people who do.
    Maybe I will try a few.

    I remember when I dropped 15mill on t maps, got a bunch of un released items, items that haven't restocked, and a draik egg, needless to say I was quite happy then again I did sell out one of the top tmap sellers xD

    You guys mentioned Nerkmids.. do the more valuable nerkmids give out better/more prizes? I'm tempted to try my luck :)

    Never bothered to. Not worth my nps. xD
    Got a whole lot of them stashed in my SDB though but too much hassle to find out the price of each individual piece.

    yeah, there should be a fixed price for EACH piece, not like 50k for one piece or 5k for another, it hurts my head =_-

    Nah, I'm never gonna do any TMaps. I'd rather just keep my NP.

    I don't think the more expensive nerkmids make a difference...

    I use the cheap ones... (most I did at once was 50 :D)

    I've had paint brushes, better nerkmids etc. out of it. I don't know for sure.. but from my experience in using nerkmids (and I've used all types) they give the same prizes :p

    Nerkmids are a bit too fast for me...plus TMaps get you 5 items and it's always fun to find out what each of 'em's worth ^^

    So to the guys that dropped a bunch on TMaps at once, you saw some big profits?
    Anyone know the chances of getting a DE?

    I just did a bunch of things - WC Maps, Treasure Map, Spooky Map. My luck is awful, though. =P Now I'm neo-broke again. I am seriously considering purchasing NP once I'm a high enough level to get into the Black Market forum. =)

    I have done tmaps all the time and spooky maps or the world challenge maps.
    And I end up getting not more than 10k XD So junk.
    I wouldn't recommend you doing a map unless you are certain you are lucky haha.

    I've always avoided it, assuming that it wasn't worth the investment. But I may have to go try a nerkmid. I tend to be a hoarder with nps and don't like to spend money on a gamble. But I might get lucky, who knows.


    -woo! 100th post.
