win monopoly every time first we're

going to show which properties to buy

and which not to buy then we're going to

look at the odds of dice and how to use

those odds to give yourself good luck

and your opponent's bad luck

then we'll dig into the main Money Maker

itself houses how many to buy and when

to buy them and then finally the most

important key to winning good trades and

if your opponents are refusing to trade

how to disguise your trades to look good

for your opponent when they're actually

good for you

video with just advanced stuff in it

first we're going to look at what to buy

and what not to buy but before we even

get into that we need to understand how

the board works the board is incredibly

uneven so there are hot spots and cold

spots on the board you can learn all the

probabilities land anywhere on the board

but we want to keep this easy for when

you start your game and you forget

everything you know including your name

just remember jail is number one and

since jail is the most likely spot to

land on spots after jail have higher

probabilities of being landed on

also there is one spot you can't stay on

the go to jail spot

because of this it's harder to land on

the spots after this so we can split up

the board into two halves which I will

refer to as the jail side of the board

and the ghost side of the board

typical game of Monopoly you stand

higher odds of winning by owning

properties on the jail side of the board

now that being said here's the

properties you should buy and properties

you should avoid

for sake of time I'm not going to go

through each one if you have a question

write it in the comments and if we hit

enough subscribers I'll make the

follow-up video with these in detail

one important side note is if you're

playing Monopoly correctly there are

only two things that can happen with a

property if you land on it either you

buy it or put it up for auction

since you can mortgage a property for

half its price if you win an auction for

less than half of the price you actually

make money on it so don't completely

scrap the idea of getting a property you

don't want for very cheap in an auction

plus it also could be used later in

trades

next we need to understand odds of dice

if you have a firm understanding of this

you'll appear to be lucky and getting

more good roles than your opponents and

the reason is you actually are getting

luckier but let's be clear you're making

your good luck through good strategy and

good decision making

the dice are going to do whatever they

want

first observe this dice chart

for two dice seven is the most likely

Rule and then rolls closest to 7 have

higher odds versus rolls further from

seven

you don't have to be a genius to have

good judgment with dice You're simply

going to make offensive moves such as

buying houses when your opponents have

strong odds of landing on your

properties and you'll make defensive

moves such as hoarding money if you have

high odds of landing on opponents

properties

there are plenty of random variables

like cards that can shake things up two

of the community chess cards will send

you to other spots while a whopping 10

of 16 chance cards will move you to

other spots on the board keeping tabs on

these will give you a leg up

you can expect each one to be drawn once

a game so you can cheat a little if you

know a card has or hasn't come up

the best rule of thumb for a turn is

that each side is 10 spots and three

rolls of the average 7 is 21 spots so

assume half of the board is roughly

three turns away no matter where you're

at

then if someone is five to nine spots

away from something there is a two and

three chance or 67 percent of Landing in

that range next turn

if we take our number one spot of jail

and look at the spots five to nine

spaces beyond that we hit a range

largely encompassed by orange which is

why this color is so valuable

however none of the spots on the board

are particularly powerful without houses

there's only two rules you need to know

of houses first is never buy a house you

expect to sell selling house has only

returned fifty percent of your money so

avoid this at all costs

if you need money mortgage a property

instead it's much cheaper

second your best return on investment is

three houses

you don't have to have three houses for

a good setup but that should be your

initial aim

the strategy of when to buy your houses

is simple you need enough additional

cash on hand so that you can survive a

blow without selling any houses

let's say hypothetically your opponent

has hotels on the Light blues Brent here

is six hundred dollars

you have 300 you could gain from

mortgaging all of your non-house

properties

this means that it's safe to buy houses

until you have three hundred dollars in

cash left because you could survive the

six hundred dollars without selling any

houses

now let's say you have several players

who are six seven eight spots away and

you're halfway across the board from

that hotel

it makes sense to be more aggressive

since the odds of collecting house rent

is high in that incoming rent will

offset the cost of landing on their

hotel if you do

now on the flip side let's say you're 10

spots away from that hotel and no one is

near your properties it would be a

terrible move to buy the houses until

you've passed the danger because if you

do land on their properties you'll lose

a lot of money when you have to sell

your houses

as with all things this comes with some

finesse what do you do if the other

players seven spots from you and your

seven spots from their hotel

do you take the Gamble and build the

houses

if they land on your houses it might

force them to also break down their

hotel softening the blow if you do land

on it

this is a judgment call that only you

can make

along with this forcing your opponent to

sell their houses can be a major blow

for them and unravel any strength that

they've built

you can also set up the circumstances to

make other players unravel in the trades

you make

trades are a required part of the game

if you want to win

the odds are low if you're getting a

monopoly on your own so you'll need to

trade if you're going to build houses

there are two reasons to trade trading

for offense which is pursuing money

making properties for yourself or

defense which is blocking others from

getting their own monopolies

an example of a defensive trade would be

trading for the third orange property so

that another player with two orange

properties can't get it this doesn't

bring you much money but it stops the

other player from acquiring power

what trades you should make should

simply be in the pursuit of getting

property sets you want for property sets

you don't want or stopping players from

putting houses on good property sets

we can do this by simply owning a

rainbow of colors but often this can

leave us stuck as well and what do we do

if the properties we need are held by

someone who refuses to trade with you or

even worse holds a grudge against you

and will trade your opponent good stuff

for cheap

in this case we're going to need to be

stealthy and disguise our trade in such

a way where your opponent thinks he's

getting the better deal

don't worry if everyone thinks the trade

looks bad for you right now because in

the end you'll be the one who wins

let's look at this example you own two

pinks one orange one light blue and six

hundred dollars

your opponent owns one pink two oranges

two Light blues and also six hundred

dollars

by all measures your opponent is winning

since Orange Is The Better Property set

over pink and light blue can become

Fierce for cheap

now let's say you offer a ludicrous

offer

the orange and Light Blue for the pink

and four hundred dollars

if your opponent is smart you will know

he's getting the two best monopolies for

less than they're worth and you probably

won't hesitate to say yes

on the surface this is a terrible move

by you but if we look deeper it's genius

you now have a thousand dollars which

can buy three houses on the pinks while

your opponent only has two hundred

dollars which can't afford anything

dangerous

this is a risky maneuver because if that

opponent does get money it'll backfire

drastically

but if opponents are close by to Pink

when you do this you may quickly get

several house rents before anyone else

catches on to what you've done

you also need to be careful to consider

other properties that can be mortgaged

if your opponent is sitting on a bunch

of yellows and Grains they might be able

to mortgage them for several hundred

dollars and torpedo your plans

the biggest key is to recognize when

someone can or can't afford to reach

three houses

having three houses on a bad Monopoly is

better than no houses on a good Monopoly

on the surface this trade is awful but

underneath the hood you've hijacked the

game

this is just one example and there are

plenty of other trades like this that

you can pull off that can make even the

most reluctant to trade players bite

so

let's recap the entire strategy in one

quick sound bite

split the board into the jail and go

sites and work to control the jail side

then use dice probability to decide when

to go on offense and when to go on

defense

aim to build three houses on your

Monopoly but avoid ever Selling Houses

and use trades to get yourself a

monopoly in the cash necessary for three

houses while trading your opponent

properties that leave their properties

either incapable or too poor to build

three houses of Their Own

follow these strategies and you'll win

monopoly every time if you learned
