1. T-Bills are the only accepted form of currencies for any & all aspects of play in Traffic. All advertisers & Subscribers receive $5000 in T-Bills (Traffic Currency) with their Ad Slot purchase. See current Ad Form for more details.
1a. The entire board cost is deducted from your account at the time of board validation. For Example; if the Tingo roll is "2 Tingo's to win @ $15 a peg" your board cost is $15 per possible pegged number per card purchased. $15 x 24 = $360 per card and/or $360 x 3(Cards Per Board) = $1080 per Tingo Board.
1b. Once there's been a winning Tingo the cost of your unused pegs will be refunded to your account. For Example, using 1a. scenario, 3 cards, 72 possible pegs = $1080 board cost. Of the 72 pegs purchased you used 31 to cover called numbers. 72 - 31 = 41 @ $15 = $615 $615 would be credited to your account. The net Tingo peg cost is $465.
1c. The Tingo win pool can be large at first but keep in mine credits have to be applied after a called Tingo win. Plus a called roll (CR) can contain as many as 24 called numbers. All numbers post at the same time making it possible for several winning Tingo boards just in one CR. All winning boards spilt the pot.
1d. Advertisers & Subscribers are responsible for accurate board submissions. Out of context numbers & void spaces will reject the submission. The Board [Traffic] cannot modify, alter or recommend on any submitted Tingo board.
2a. There are 8 type's of Tingo's consisting of 27 possible patterns. All patterns consist of 4 numbers only. See Tingo Scoring Page.
2b. The entire Tingo board, containing 3 tingo cards, contests as one for the Tingo win. That is using the 1a. scenario, the board purchased is for a contest of, 2 Tingo's @ $15 a peg using all 3 cards. Any card that has a Tingo for a board total of 2 Tingo's is a winning board.
2c. You can purchase a Tingo board containing only of one or two cards. Your peg count per card is 24. Using the 1a. scenario, 1 card of 24 pegs @ $15 is $360. 2 cards of 24 pegs @ $15 is $720. Same scoring applies as in rule 2b. just using 1 or 2 cards. Same crediting applies as in rule 1b..
3a. Hedging is the purchase of a single Tingo number between 1 & 75. Once this number is called during the current Tingo contest your entire board is eligible for discounts on your peg cost. There are 3 peg discounts possibilities available. (1)No Tingo's scored on an entire Tingo board will receive a 10% off the peg cost. (2)If less than half of all the called numbers are pegged on the entire board, the board will receive a 20% off the peg cost. (3)Any one card containing only 5 called numbers or less, including the called hedge number being one of the five in the field of play, will receive a 30% discount off the entire board cost. The discounts apply to the adjusted net cost of a called Tingo. It is possible to have a winning Tingo board and still meet the eligibility of 2 hedge discounts. [Ideal hedge scenario] A high call count = high pool pot, your board "Tingo Wins" at just under the 50% use rule, plus (possibly by design) having one card at the 5 peg rule.
3b. When a board is eligible for more than one hedge discount the order of discount will be; (First) No Tingo's @10% of total cost, (Second) Less than 50% rule @ 20% of the adjusted (First) rule, (Third) Single card 5 peg rule @30% of the adjusted (First & Second) rule.
3c. Hedge fund premiums will cover discount claims first before being deducted from the Tingo win pool. Once the hedge fund is depleted the claims will debit against the win pool. If the premium fund is positive after all the claims are filled that fund will be transferred to the T-jack pot pool.
4a. Hot Pegs are created by covering called numbers that contain the hot peg pick number. Selecting one number 1-9 provides bonus returns on the called covered number containing the selected number. There is a 50% rule that must be met for pegs to go hot. The numbers (1-9) have different values of bonus as to their frequency of possible combinations.
4b. The 50% rule is; half of the selected Hot Peg numbers being covered on any one card first. Once this requirement is met the entire board of hot peg numbers will pay if called.
4c. The values of the hot peg numbers are; the 1 - 5 have the most possible post @18 each and they pay $25 per covered number. The 6 has 17 possible posts and pays $30 per peg. The 7 has 13 possible posts and pays $50 per peg. The 8 & 9 have 7 possible posts and pays $100 per peg.
4d. The Hot Peg premiums are deposited in the Tingo win pool. All Hot Peg claims are paid out prior to the Tingo win disbursements.
5a. Super T number is the selection of one number (1-75) to win on.
5b. All Super T premiums are deposited as a stand alone win pool. The winning board(s) collect the entire pot. If there are no winning Tingo's on a selected Super T the pool carries over to the next Tingo contest.
