Did the horse betting thing where you bet 100k or so on the 12:1 odds horse.

Made about 2 million in 15min of Save/reloads.

Felt much better then punching in a cheat code.

Talk about not having to worry about money anymore.

You must own every freaking safehouse there is.

I don't have the nerve to bet my 12 million (unless there's a 1million cap) all in one shot on a 12:1 race. Too much saving/loading for me.

Anyone do the pool game? Heard you can bet on that as well.

I played pool, put up $500, walked away with a thousand. On the betting, I just kept putting anywhere from 3 million to 5 million per bet, I just kept hitting "X" until I got tired. I was also posting on A-CL the entire time I was doing it

I couldn't find it either. But remember their not actually tracks, just OTB places.

So take the main freeway that runs through the center of Los Santos all the way north into the small town of Montgomery. The OTB is on the main strip there.

You can save your game at the house on top of Fern Ridge (if you got that far in the game) and then its a 30 second trip back and forth to Save/load.

The gamers forum is not public.

It is a hidden/private forum for those (few) who wish to talk gaming with gamers.

The main purpose is to organize the AcuraZine SOCOM/Halo-2/Whatever clans.

When it was a visible sub-forum, the majority of people who dont care about video games bitched and moaned about having too many sub forums

GTA is a mass appeal topic, so it belongs in Ramblings, an active--visible forum.

The gaming forum is available at
http://gaming.acurazine.com

Turn the game on and let it load but don't touch the controller. After about 10 minutes the timer dissapears and the camera follows the npc's. They have some great fucking conversations. The camera also follows around the hot chicks and prostitues.

Yeah after you complete the "Burning Desire" mission, which entails setting a house on fire and then rescuing a girl from it, you'll get the call from Sweet which will trigger the “Doberman” mission.

This one entails killing all the ballas in a certain location and starting your very first gang war. After its completion you can start gang wars and start taking over other territory at your leisure.

Make sure you have a rocket launcher. I think they give you one to begin with but it never hurts to have some extra ammo. Anyway that makes it a whole lot easier.

Has anyone visited the clothing store Didier Sachs in Rodeo, Los Santos yet?

Every other clothing store is now open except that one. I know that some stores only open after certain missions but it says nothing about when this store opens.

They have the pimpest shit and i can't get in yet!

I just found out that if you reach hitman level w/ the machine pistol you get to use 2. It's pretty sweet 2 fisting 2 automatic weapons. It tears though shit like crazy.

Finally got back to Los Santos. Took me all morning and afternoon yesterday but I was determined to take over all 59 or so gang territories available. There's even one way in the NW corner of the map that needed to be taken over. After it was all done I didn't even get a cut scene or a message acknowledging this great feat.

Also back in Las Venturas i never got the key card from that girl and I went ahead and started the missions back in Los Santos. Hope I can still go back and get it to complete the Casino heist.

You can still go back and do the Casino missions.........they have no real effect on the story, much like the Zero missions (which were the last missions I did). Sorta like the Donald Love missions in GTA3.
