00:00When you're developing a monopoly, what people do is they get one set and they build up to a hotel.
00:04Yes.
00:04No, you build up to three houses, then you look at your next set and you build that up to three houses.
00:10So you build up to three houses until everything has three houses and only once you've got three houses and everything do you push towards a hotel.
00:16Brilliant.
00:17Because the return on investment, the gain on your money, the amount your money multiplies, three houses is your sweet spot.
00:24Got it.
00:25People are building much too quickly, go around three houses and everything, only then do hotels.
00:30And why is orange the right, is that because most people, is that because statistically you're more likely to land on orange?
00:36There are two reasons you would buy orange first.
00:38One is it has the second best return on investment.
00:41Again, if you look at the rent you bring in compared to the cost, the amount that you're putting in, orange is second best for light blues.
00:47Light blues are the best, orange is best as a set, there are individual properties that beat it, but as a collective set.
00:52Yeah.
00:53And the most landed on board at Square and Monopoly is jail.
00:56You've got both going to jail and walking past jail and orange is six, eight and nine away from jail and therefore there's a higher probability of landing there than elsewhere.
01:07So the combination of those two factors makes orange your primary set to buy.
