If the number of entries in each draw is the same, it doesn't matter whether you spread them out. But one of the draws has to be less popular than the others, so your best move is to put all of your entries on the least popular thing. If you can't determine or guess which thing is least popular, the second or second-to-last thing on a list of equivalent choices will usually be the one least chosen.


The choices are displayed on a twenty-four timeline that changes every hour, so there's no fixed second choice. I've been stacking the 7-9am draws on the hypothesis that normal people will pick the nearest draw after they enter (probably in the afternoon/evening) and other crazy shut-in types will go for the middle of the night, when they think competition will be slimmest.

I also try to schedule any criminal activities for the morning because it seems like people are least suspicious after dawn, and any cops with court that day are busy preparing their testimony. Not scientific, mind you, but it hasn't failed me yet.
