I imagine at least some of you out there are members of moola.com. The most popular game is Hi-Lo, but for me there is way too much chance involved. I've found that playing Ro-Sham-Bo Fu you can implement a good deal of strategy and it's less about luck making me feel more like I can affect the outcome. I've decided to share my tips with you here at myLot before I do a formal write up and maybe someone else will also have tips to contribute.
Step 1: Identify the winning hand of the two options that give bonus. For example if rock gives no bonus then, that leaves you with paper or scissors, of those two options scissors beats paper. I will call this the bonus winner.
Step 2: Learn your opponents. I tend to play anonymous in Ro-Sham-Bo Fu when I remember, but many people do not and most people playing in patterns. Many have some idea about picking the bonus winner, and others are entirely random.
Step 3: Play as anonymous.
Starting out: Play the bonus winner first. If the other player knows about the power of the bonus winner choice you will tie. For most (not all players) if you play the non bonus card in the second hand you will win when they play the bonus winner yet again. They will get the bonus, but you will get the points and since you tied that is 6 to 2 roughly and you are in the lead. Often you can repeat these steps for rounds 3 and 4 by then just playing the bonus winner for 5 and 6 will usually get you the win.
For those who don't understand why this works, both players have the same choices for bonus so you can pretty well figure out what the other person is going to play. The higher up in money you play for the more complex the strategy of your opponents will become. Playing for .01 or .02 I win very often with the above strategy. As you increase in the amount you play for you will find that people use strategies to counter this one quite often to get the "new" high rollers. How to win at this point varies greatly, but the best weapon you have is step 2. Learn who you are playing and remember them for the next time. You can learn their moves and start to win more games.
Like any mention of a site where you can get money if you haven't already signed up feel free to add me as a friend and I can send you my sign up. If you are already on Moola please share your strategies for Ro-Sham-Bo Fu or any of the other games.

I am a member to Moola and I have played each of the games but it has been a while since I logged in there. For Ro-Sham-Bo Fu, I have noticed a pattern with some members.
I would have canceled my account a while ago but I am not ready to give up my referrals. I think I have 28.
I've read upgrading was free but I do not have a cell phone to do that.

The verification was free, but you do need a phone. With 28 referrals you should be doing pretty well if they play at all. Maybe you can borrow someones phone to receive the text message. It's a one time deal so once you are done you won't need to do it again.

That is definitely good. I have 1 and that is my girlfriend. I will probably recommend the site to others once I receive my first check. How money are your 31 referrals making for you? I noticed there were only about 250 people playing moola last night.

This is a very good strategy, but how do you play anonymously?

I tried to figure this site out as it looked like a fun way to waste some time and who knows, maybe make a few bucks. After I started reading about the payouts and all that I just stopped. It seems like unless I am going to upgrade, at a price, I will never really be able to claim any real earnings. I like the whole game concept but when I really started reading all the rules and fine print I just gave up.

They definitely need to reword it I had to read it a couple times before I got it. You can only cash out once a month for free. You can only cash out via mailed check once for free. After that as long as you cash out via paypal and just once a month it's still free. You do have to verify to have that available to you which is basically they send you a text message and you put it into the website. I've spent 0 money and I have an $11 check on the way. The first payment has to be through the mail to verify your address I guess. After that you can get future payments through paypal. I haven't made enough to get another payment, but when I do I'll go with paypal.
