Unless you like to donate money to the top players, the only way to stay ahead on worldwinner is on ladders where you control who you challenge. The scrabble cubes ladder is about over, but next time it starts up, join at the bottom and choose people you know you can beat and pray they play you. You'll make a little bit of money in a rather safe way. You won't retire or live off of it, but it's sure better than getting pounded over and over in the other tournaments! IMHO it's the only way for even really good players to not lose money on WW.

Also I only won about 1 out of 8 scrabble cubes games last night even though I thought I played some of them good for me...... and now today I am placed in division 1!

Doesn't make sense, I had a go at it and seen the top scores and there is no way I can compete against the people in division one, so i'm not going to waste my money attempting to.

And i've had similar problems with other games .

I like that in king i can see my ranking level go up and down, I know what level I am at and so I know what to expect and who i'll be up against.

With worldwinner it is more of a risk, as I can't see how they rank me and it's therefore in my opinion closer to gambling. I really hope they improve it, don't think i'll be playing much more money games unless they do.

Anyone else feel the same?
