How To Make Money In The Point Market
There is a small amount of money to be made in the point market, it's not a huge amount, but it's something fun to do when killing time.
If you'll notice in the Point Market some people may sell points for as low as $5,000...if you see any points that cost less than $6,000 buy them. They are a guaranteed to sell and you can make a small profit on a mass of them. Make sure you sell them for more than you bought them, or it will defeat the purpose.
Please Note - This is something that you will only want to do when hospitalized, I once did it when I was not hospitalized and I got mugged seven times before I could get it into my bank account.

Definitions Of Everything In The Game
I'm going to put this list in alphabetical order, so that specific things are easier to find.
======
50/50 Chance Money/Points: Two Mobsters put up an equal amount of money or points. Winner takes all (-10% for the house). You can either match an already-existing bet or start your own.
Armour: Armour adds a bonus to your defence. The bonus value depends on the armour.
Armour Shops: Armour can be purchased here. The name of the shop and the types of armour offered differ by city.
Awake: Awake points determine how efficiently you work out. The more Awake points you have the more attribute points you receive while training at the Gym. Awake points regenerate very slowly over time but by taking an Awake pill you can completely refill your Awake Points. Your total available Awake points increase when you buy a new house. Awake level also affects your probability of success at Crimes – the higher percentage, the better chance of success.
Bank: To open a bank account you must have $25,000 to open an account. The most your bank account can hold is $30,000,000 unless you upgrade it. Each upgrade costs $1,000,000 to raise that limit by $2,500,000. You can upgrade up to 5 times and raise your limit to a maximum of $42,500,000. The amount of money you have in your bank will be increased daily by 2%. For Respected Mobsters (RM’s), interest is 4%. There are limits to this though. For regular players, the limit for interest is $300,000. As for RM’s, the limit is $600,000. You will reach this amount when you have $15,000,000 in the bank.
Bus Station: For a fee a bus will take you to another station. In order to travel to some areas you have to have achieved the appropriate level. Note that there are cities that only RM’s can access. Higher level cities have a higher bus fee.
Bus Station Lockers: There is $10,000,000 hidden in locker 94G within the airport. You can have the money if you work out what the combination is. You only get 10 chances each day to get the right combination and claim your prize.
Car Dealership: A place to buy cars
Chat Room: Takes you to the Mafia Death chatroom using Java or Flash, where you can chat in real time with other players.
Consumables: Consumables are one-time use items that have some effect on your mobster. The table below shows all the consumables. Note that drug effects last for a limited amount of time.
Consumable Shops: Consumables can be purchased here. The name of the shop and the types of consumables offered differ by city.
Contact List: This is the list of gangsters that you have added either as enemies or as friends.
Crime: Crime is very important in the Mobster world. Crimes give you XP and money at the risk of getting yourself thrown in jail. Crime success is also dependant on your speed. The following is the list of trouble and their rewards.
Note that two cases of Crimes - Jail Break and Mugging - are not committed from the Crime menu.
Mugging players in the game, does not send them to the Hospital, but only takes a 1% of their money. It also gives the mugger XP depending on how much of a level difference.
A successful Jail Break yields 500 XP!
Defence: Determines how much damage you can absorb without being harmed. Defense can be increased by training at the Gym and by having a job. In battle defense is multiplied by whatever armor you are carrying.
Drive: You can also drive to another city, for a lower price, if you have a car. Higher level cities have a higher fee.
Edit Account: Here you can change you online name, your email, and your password. You can also upload an Avatar and add or change your quote.

The images that are added there must have been uploaded to the internet (try photobucket, imageshack or similar). You will then link to those images using the bbcodes.
Energy: Energy is used during training at the gym and during battles. At the Gym your Energy points are used to determine the increase in attributes. For battles your Energy level has to be at least 25% in order to attack someone. Energy regenerates over time, and can refill your energy bar by clicking on the “use” button near the amount of points you have but this requires the use of 10 Points.

You can play an unlimited number of times.
Hospital: The hospital is where you go when you are killed. There is a 20 minute stay if you are killed. While in the hospital you cannot train at the Gym, do crime, or attack other mobsters.

Be sure to advance as soon as you can.

Mailbox: Check messages from your team-mates or rivals – note that there’s a maximum amount of mails you can have in your mailbox.

Money: The amount of money you have on you. Money is used to purchase houses, weapons, armor, and other items.

Ultimate Noob Guide!!
1) Getting Money and Points
Every day (starts at midnight, server time), you should go to the link that says "Vote for Rewards" and click on each of the sites. This will get you 25 points, along with some cash.
Then click on your City name (San Jose or Phoenix) and click on "Search Downtown". You have 100 searches, and you will find $ and sometimes items.
You should go and play the Lucky Dip every day for $1000 and play all of your Slot Machine turns for the maximum amount that you have. These two games pay out well and increase your money. Do not play the 50/50 or Higher/Lower games because you will generally lose money at these games.
2) Keep your $ in the Bank
VERY IMPORTANT: As soon as you have enough to open up a bank account, you should do so as quickly as possible. When you keep large sums of money on you, you become a target for other players to mug you or attack you. Each time they mug or attack you, they can get a percentage of that cash. If you leave it in your bank account, then they can't get to it and will leave you alone.
If at some point, you want to make a big purchase or know that you will be obtaining a large sum of money, it is wise to attack someone who is obviously higher level than you and commit suicide first. This will put you in the hospital, where other players can't mug or attack you. Then you can go ahead with your transaction, taking out that large withdrawal or making that large sale. Make sure to finish what you needed to do before the 20 minutes are up and deposit all of the money back in the bank before you come out of the hospital.
NEVER EVER leave a large sum of money out when you go offline. You can be sure that by the time you get back, it will all be gone. This also goes for any items you are trying to sell on the market. If someone buys it while you are offline, you can expect to be mugged out of all of your profits (sometimes by the person who bought the item, knowing you were offline).
3) Don't kill the "moneyman"
An unwritten rule in this game is that you should not attack and kill a person who has a large sum of money out. This will put them in the hospital so other people can't mug them for 20 minutes. If someone has a large sum of money out, other players want to be able to mug them repeatedly until they take all of their cash. This sucks for lower level players, because it takes at least 10 nerve to be able to mug someone so they miss out on these opportunties. However, if you do attack the moneyman, higher level players will usually put you in the hospital for it.
4) What do I do with my points?
Points can be used for a number of things: 1) to refill energy, nerve, awakeness; 2) sold on the market for $ (never sell back to point shop for $500 - you can usually get over 6K for it on the points market); 3) spent on bunnies.
For a newer player, it may not be worth it to spend points on refilling your energy, etc., because you don't have very much to refill. Getting $150,000 for your 25 points is probably much more valuable than filling up a couple of times.
5) What are these things called "bunnies" and why should I pay them?
Bunnies are players who have purposely obtained high levels of experience but still have relatively low attributes (strength, defence, speed). This means that someone who is lower level can attack and kill a bunny who is much higher level, gaining a LOT of experience in the process. This allows you to level up quickly. However, this does not mean all noobs can kill all bunnies. You have to go to their page and look at their stats, which they usually list. Since they are higher level, they have much more hitpoints. So you should have a significant advantage over them in terms of strength and defence in order to be sure you can kill them.
Also on their page, they list how much they charge - usually it is one hit for a certain number of points. Sometimes, it is different depending on whether they are online or offline. There is a general unwritten rule that if you use the services of a bunny, then you should pay for it. If you do not pay, they may have higher level players attack you and keep you in the hospital until you pay.
6) Crimes
You should start of by attempting the easier crimes at first. Your level of awakeness will be a factor in whether you succeed or not. As you level up, start trying more difficult crimes. If you find that you are consistently failing to commit crimes at a certain level, this means you are trying crimes that are too difficult for your level. Move your way up gradually.
7) Attack other players
Generally, people don't like when you attack and kill them while they are still online. It forces them to wait 20 minutes. If you are going to attack them, be prepared to accept any payback they may take by getting a higher level player to punish you. However, it may be necessary to attack some players online if you feel they have wronged you.
Only attack players that you are confident that you can beat. This means not only looking at their level but also the number of days they have been playing. Generally, I find the number of days is usually a better indication of their strength than their level. As well, if you really want to be sure, you can pay money to Spy on them. This option may or may not provide you with the info you want.
General advice
Unless you want to become a bunny, you should not look to level up too fast without also training and leveling up your statistics. If you become a high level but don't have the corresponding strength and defence, people will start to pick on you because you become easy experience points for them.
You may want to join a gang because the gang can provide you with protection, lend you equipment, free bunny hits, $.Good luck, have fun and don't get too addicted. It may ruin your real, non-criminal life!

Every day (starts at midnight, server time), you should go to the link that says "Vote for Rewards" and click on each of the sites. This will get you 25 points, along with some cash.
Then click on your City name (San Jose or Phoenix) and click on "Search Downtown". You have 100 searches, and you will find $ and sometimes items.
You should go and play the Lucky Dip every day for $1000 and play all of your Slot Machine turns for the maximum amount that you have. These two games pay out well and increase your money. Do not play the 50/50 or Higher/Lower games because you will generally lose money at these games.
2) Keep your $ in the Bank
VERY IMPORTANT: As soon as you have enough to open up a bank account, you should do so as quickly as possible. When you keep large sums of money on you, you become a target for other players to mug you or attack you. Each time they mug or attack you, they can get a percentage of that cash. If you leave it in your bank account, then they can't get to it and will leave you alone.
If at some point, you want to make a big purchase or know that you will be obtaining a large sum of money, it is wise to attack someone who is obviously higher level than you and commit suicide first. This will put you in the hospital, where other players can't mug or attack you. Then you can go ahead with your transaction, taking out that large withdrawal or making that large sale. Make sure to finish what you needed to do before the 20 minutes are up and deposit all of the money back in the bank before you come out of the hospital.
NEVER EVER leave a large sum of money out when you go offline. You can be sure that by the time you get back, it will all be gone. This also goes for any items you are trying to sell on the market. If someone buys it while you are offline, you can expect to be mugged out of all of your profits (sometimes by the person who bought the item, knowing you were offline).
3) Don't kill the "moneyman"
An unwritten rule in this game is that you should not attack and kill a person who has a large sum of money out. This will put them in the hospital so other people can't mug them for 20 minutes. If someone has a large sum of money out, other players want to be able to mug them repeatedly until they take all of their cash. This sucks for lower level players, because it takes at least 10 nerve to be able to mug someone so they miss out on these opportunties. However, if you do attack the moneyman, higher level players will usually put you in the hospital for it.
