Title says all, questions are as follows:

1. What's the "best" bot in your opinion to use, for some reason CLAW doesn't want to play the game, but it'll load it up just fine, it hangs at the loading game status part. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, I tried to use CB2 by DeathbyNukes, and was wondering if the bot can recognize the letters in the word scramble on Chicktionary, because I've had to enter them all manually.

2. About how many Captchas would I go through to get to 30,000 tix as a base reference? I'm trying to factor in the price of Decaptchers.

3. Why do people have to send their prizes to other addresses? Is there a limit or something?

1. I use CLDL without any problems.

2. Well, you get 20 tickets per game, and there's a captcha every four games, do the math.

3. Yes. 1 prize per household.

1. CBX is the best bot to use.

2. I'd say you get one captcha for every four games or so (80 tickets total); so I'd say 1,500. Thanks bowen317 for pointing out my mistake

3. People send their prizes to other addresses because, yes, there is a limit. The limit is that you can have one account per address and order only one of each prize to said address/ account.

[the thief lord]

one of each prize, or one prize to each address altogether?

and @guitarguy, im told CBX is dead atm..

[GUITARGUY]

CBX is dead at the moment, but it is, well, was, the best bot. You are only supposed to order a max of one of each prize.

Remember each game gives you 20 tickets

[jkutter]

i'm running cbxl fine right now

[GUITARGUY]

I'm a retard, jeez. Thanks for pointing that out bowen; I edited my post.

[the thief lord]

okay, and my last question.

for chicktionary, does either CLDL or CBX automatically enter the characters youre supposed to scramble to the bot so it can use the anagrams?

i.e if i got "ASDFGHJK" as the starting letters, does the bot detect those letters and start finding combinations, or must the starting letters be entered manually? or is this something decaptcher takes care of?

[GUITARGUY]

It finds the letters automatically.

[the thief lord]

Alright, that's all I needed to know.

Thanks for all your help gents.

[the thief lord]

actually, one last question.

does it matter if i order two different prizes from two different accounts to the same address?

[GUITARGUY]

They don't want you to, but if you stretch it out and use the address trick you can probably get away with it. By the way, next time just edit your post. Don't double post, it's not cool.

[xBrandonx]

CLAW works great as of today

[the thief lord]

wasnt sure about double posting here, haha.

so what you mean by stretching the address out would be like Southeast instead of SE, Thirty Ninth instead of 39th, and so on?

is that the trick?

if an account with my full, unaltered address is flagged, per se, would i not be able to order to that exact same address, would i need to stretch it out if i were going to use another account? or can i use the same account and address combo?

[SpecialK]

dont do the address trick it doesnt work anymore. the only thing that really works now is to order to your neighbors address or someone you know.

[the thief lord]

alright, how about to different names under the same household?

[TECH90c]

Well everybody named a different bot, I'm unclear on which is best so, which is the best bot that works 100% atm?

The address form verification does a USPS ZIP+4 validation, so any simple stuff you try to do to get around the one-of-each-per-address will not work (i.e. it automatically changes Lane to St., Southeast to SE, etc).

And, even if you are able to get an address 'trick' past the form, they are catching most of the tricked orders during the actual order verification that takes place just before they submit it to Arvato (Bing drop shipper) for fulfillment (29-to-32 days after you order).

Additionally, since they implemented the second address check they also made the form a little more 'loose', so legit addresses that stopped working will now work again (as well as some of the old address trick methods). So, don't think you actually have a new address trick until you actually get your prizes.

I have been receiving prizes with 2 accounts to a single address using unique first names and the same last name. But there are other people for whom this didn't work (and their accounts were flagged). Since we never know exactly why an account is flagged, it is hard to tell if it was other actions that caused it (i.e. bad bot, same email, etc).

CBxL was probably the most commonly used bot until a week ago (roughly) when Bing updated the HTML on their search pages. This caused many of the bots to stop working properly. As far as I know, the only bot that has been publicly updated is CLDL.

So, you figure I'm best off ordering to a trusted neighbor in my name, etc? If that account gets flagged, would the address also be?

[SpecialK]

From what we know, address can't get flagged. Im not sure if accounts can even get flagged. I think the only thing that will get flagged is that particular order.
