Profit From Dave and Buster's and Other Arcade Games

By M. G.

Ever wonder how people walk into high-end arcades like Dave & Busters and walk out with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of tickets that they later use to buy iPods, iPads, PS3's, Xboxes, and the like? There aren't many of us out there, and for the past 5 years I have been one of those individuals who can walk into a Dave & Busters, spend $200, and walk out with over $500 in merchandise on a bad day. Merchandise that I then turn around and sell for HUGE profits!

How do I do this? Well for the last 5 years I have kept that a secret among myself and my fellow players. But after careful consideration and deliberation, I have decided to compile all 5 years worth of my personal notes, calculations, and strategies that I use to win millions of tickets every month. Strategies that I am now willing to give out to the public in the form of an in-depth guide/look into how I do what I do and soon how you can be one of the big-winners at your local Dave and Buster's.

I don't just tell you what games I play at Dave and Buster's in order to win big, no, I list every game found at my local Dave and Buster's, and therefore most likely at your local Dave and Buster's and what you need to know about them in regards to how much of a profit you can make from them. I knew from the start of writing this guide that I needed a way to quickly and easily display the basic information about each game before I went in-depth as to what the game was, if you should play it for a profit, and how you should play it if you do, and most importantly, how to win!

x. Introduction

Greetings! First I’d like to thank you for purchasing my guide to winning skill-based games at Dave & Buster’s, it took me 5 years to compile this information and I am grateful that you took the opportunity to allow me to share it with you. Just to give you some background information about myself, allow me to share my story about how I started my journey to where I am today. It all started when I was 11 years old when my Dad took me to Dave & Buster’s for the first time in my life. Now, only being 11 years old, the closest thing I had seen to a large arcade-style play area was Chuck-E-Cheese, and when you go from an arcade like that to an arcade aimed primarily at adults, it can be quite overwhelming. Walking into the Midway area for the first time was, for a kid my age, like walking through the gates of Heaven. There were so many games to play and so many people there that were just having a good time, and the atmosphere was so welcoming that you’d never want to leave. I was hooked, and even 10 years later I still go back to Dave & Buster’s every week, although now it’s more or less to just put on a show for the future generation of big-winners like myself! With that being said, I hope you get a wealth of information out of this guide and take it with you to the Midway and start on your own path to winning mountains and mountains of tickets just as I did. It won’t be the easiest thing in the world, but with a little patience you’ll find that beating the system is a lot easier than you thought.

xx. Explanation of Risk

I’d like to take the time to explain that while this guide can show you how to win a majority of the time you play, it is not a guide that shows you how to win 100% of the time. There will always be some element of risk involved when you play skill-based games and there is no getting around it. You will find that there are hundreds of elements that go into determining whether or not you will win, I am simply showing you how to alter those elements in your favor. Please do not take this guide as Cheat Sheet of some kind because it is nothing of the sort. There is literally no way to win 100% of the time at ANY skill-based game at Dave and Buster’s. You will lose and when you do you have to realize that being a game of chance, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Every single game is based in some way on odds and/or the percentage of people who win and how often they do so. This guide will teach you how to take your win ratio from, for example, 1:22, all the way down to 1:4. When you take that and apply it to how much you are winning each time you win, you will realize that if there were some miracle way of winning 100% of the time, Dave and Buster’s would do something to counter-balance it ASAP.

I – The Confidence Effect and How to Avoid it

The Confidence Effect is something I noticed very often over my years of playing these games and I am sure you all have seen it as some point in
