If you think that time will change your ways, don't wait too long. - Madeleine Peyroux
That's what's up.

Susan's been playing a lot of Monopoly with her friends lately, and has managed to get me into it. I beat them all my first game, but then Susan beat me one on one, so now I have to cheat. I looked around and found this page on the Probabilities in the Game of Monopoly. To make a short, incredibly boring story short;

The railroads are excellent investments, particularly when owned together, although in absolute income terms they don't keep up with heavily built on properties later in the game. The best return on investment to be found is from putting a third house on New York Avenue. In fact, the third house has the fastest payoff of any building on almost all of the properties. The square most landed on other than Jail is Illinois Avenue, and in fact a hotel there will bring the most income other than a hotel on Boardwalk. By far the worst individual investment is to buy Medeterranean Avenue without first owning Baltic. That's not to say that you shouldn't buy it, but it's not going to make you much money without quite a bit of construction. The properties between the Jail square and the Go To Jail square are landed on the most, because of the jump caused by landing on Go To Jail. The Orange ones have the biggest bang for the buck as far as building goes.

Oranges FTW.
