Yeah, I've been doing the airport car race but first place payout is closer to £4.5K no? Haven't gotten to parachute jumps yet tho.

I did make some dollahs investing in Fruit on one of Lester's missions. Other times I lost lots of money when picking up investment tips tho that might have been because I didn't cash in early enough. I think I was a little lucky with the Fruit tipoff as I sold the shares before they bottomed out again. Also, as that Lester Assassination mission seemed to belong to Franklin I backtracked a bit and got Trevour and Michael to put all there money in Fruit too. 3 times the payout!!

I need to properly explore the stock markets as Trance linked a good guide above as I recall. Haven't looked into it as there's quite a bit of mind boggling stuff going on in GTA that I've yet to get my head around (like the best cars to upgrade!)

Cheers for the tips tho. Keep 'em coming!

I sold the girlfriend and got 2 donkeys and he still wanted some cash as a part ex

Yea I got caught out with that once too, the shares rise and rise and then eventually they drop again once it settles, so it is important to cash out fairly soon.

Some of the races give more than others I believe, I did test if it was based on laps by doing a 10 lap one with my mate but got the same payout, was gutted haha.

I think some of the point to point ones give quite a lot, but I haven't played it for over a month so can't quite recall

$20k is a good score are you playing against AI or real players during survival games?

Racing is fun as long as it is not too difficult because I soon get [censored] off with it.

To maximise profits follow this IGN guide. I made $1.2 Billion for each character following it.

Full details are in the article but make sure you only do the first assassination mission (hotel one) then leave the rest until after finishing all other missions so you have more to invest.

Hahaha. 1.2 billion? Each character? I like your style.

Now, I really should have followed your link earlier as I am way past the first assassination mission. Maybe I should restart eh?

Checking out the only real guide to getting rich quick that works. Ta.

It all depends how much money you want or need after finishing the Story mode. $1.2 billion for each character is way more than you need but before doing the stock market investments I had something like 27 million which might not be enough, the Golf course for example is $100 million. All depends what you want to do in the single player after completing the story which might not be all that much as there is the online mode.

Yeah, I see your point. All three characters have less than a quarter of a million dollars combined I think. I better get busy investing or something!!!!

Just reset my game though. I deleted my game saves earlier so I've got to build myself back up now if I wanna progress but at least I shall have a good guide. Cheers pal!



100 million for a golf course eh???

Aye 100 million, I bought it but haven't got around to playing a game yet

So you restarted the story? you had already got quite far

Yeah - it wasn't intentional but I had to reset my PS3. No worries tho, I'm sure it'll be fun replaying the missions and it won't take so long...
