There is a setting on how frequently/infrequently you can get busted. Default is 100%. My guess is the lower the number the better as you would be less likely to get busted robbing?? The range is 10% -> 850%. Can someone please confirm my assumption here. Thanks

Hey, here is the answer from Cruncher's website
at http://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/Formula.htm

It seems some twgs sysops are getting a little "creative" with the rob/steal ratios in thier games. Just to help you out a bit, here is what you need to do to find out just how to play red in a game. First, from the game menu type * to see what the settings are. If both rob and steal are set to 100%, then it is classic door: rob=3%exp, steal=exp/30. If the settings are 50% rob, 70% steal, then it is in MBBS mode: rob=6%exp, steal=exp/21. Anything else then you will need to apply this forumula:
Rob: 3/(%set)= (x)% exp to rob
Steal: 30*(%set)=exp/(x) to steal
Replace the (%set) with what the game settings are, (x) is the product.
Happy Crimes!

Most games are set to 30% steal factor

I think you meant most games are set to 100%, which is exp divded by 30. The other common one is 70%, exp/21
