To be a successful thief, you must be persistent.

I've found a good strategy is to wager 1. If your wager fails, wager 2. If that wager is successful, start over at 1, you've successfully stolen 1.
If that wager of 2 fails, however, wager 15. You're more likely to win now. If 15 fails, wager 30.

As always, know when to quit, I know times I was ahead 118 devs and I kept on goin, ended up at 0 again.

Have fun.

Yep, but I think they changed something about a week ago, because I lost 1000 devs, I kept thinking maybe it'll give it now now now but nope kept failing, then of course it works when you do like 1.

Small amounts are easier to steal (and recover if you lose them.) So if it is mostly a random chance, eventually you are going to come out pretty well.

A new strategy.
Ok, I just robbed the heck out of someone (not naming names, you probably know who you are). I just went from about 10 devs to 388.

Robbing for dummies:
Ensure you've got enough money built up to use this next strategy.(80ish, use the method described above until you're ready for this.)

Wager 1 until it fails once. I can hit 1 about 5/6 times in a row, then it'll fail. Wager a much greater number the time after it fails on 1 (eg 40, 60, 80, 100, etc). I've gotten good payout by doing this up to 144 devs at a time.

As always, know when to stop. Also, make sure you don't drain the poor sap's bank pockets. If you continue to steal from a sapped sap, I'm sure it'll play the see-saw game with you.

Enjoy

Not if you put it in the bank , anything in the bank can't be stolen, I steal from people then when I leave make sure I have zero left.

And ya that staragy works you just have to make sure not to get greedy just lost the 100 I made.
