Starting with about 7,500 FPPs and absolutely no cash, I now have $211 in my Stars account. It's not that difficult. Here's the formula (courtesy of Oscar, who found a thread on 2+2 of a guy who did the same with stunning success ( Read more... )

This is pretty funny if you know darts.

Me: So, what game are we gonna play?

Little B: 501. Because 502 takes way too long!
