Weekly hb Net Profit question
  • I noticed that my net profit is in the negatives, why is it negative? And what can I do to increase it?

    Thanks!
  • Net profit is the difference between the entry fees you have paid and the cash awards your horses have won for placing well in their classes. If it is in the negatives, this means you have paid more to enter shows than your horses have won. You can only increase your net profit by being very careful to enter horses only when their points make it likely that they will place in the top half of their classes, and even then luck will play a role, especially for the classes with only a few horses in them.

    However, the more important number is your Weekly Showing Bonus, which is about 75% of the total points your horses have collected based on where they placed in their shows (no points are given for coming in last, but all other horses get at least .5 points, and there is the potential to earn more, the more horses there are in the class). Eventually, as you increase the number of horses in your stable, you will reach the point where the showing bonus more than covers any losses in profit.

    The best way to increase your showing bonus is to enter all your horses twice a week, regardless of where they might place. Since you are just starting out, I would recommend entering your horses when you think that their score will end in 7, 8, or 9.

    Ammit made a very enlightening post in the HaJ1 forum yesterday, explaining how you can earn game money to grow your stable without having to spend a lot of real-life cash. I hope she won't mind if I quote her here.

    Ammit said:

    I want to point out that thinking you can't advance in the game because you can't afford real life spending is a myth. I want to nip it in the bud so new players don't think it has to be that way.

    A brand account has 25,000 hbs. At the moment I am giving away a 15 stall barn and 25,000 to ever new account so that is 50k and 35 stalls per for each new user.

    Simplest way to make money is to create and dump in the auction (auctioning yields a net profit because of the lottery) it's not guaranteed and is a grind so I will move past that.

    With 50k you can create 20 mares. Mares standing public at 1500 to 2000 hbs are always used up as et recip mares by the end of breeding season. That is 30,000 to 40,000 in guaranteed income every single month. In addition these mares an be shown and earn points.

    With in one season you now have enough money to fill the 15 stall barn. (faster if you watch for deals on the sales board).

    With that barn full you make 52k to 70k per season, that is enough to buy a new 15 stall barn every single season.

    You should off of that income be able to add additional barns and mares every season (including filling your pasture for extra income) and with in a few seasons be making enough money to buy a basic upgrade (only 375,000) with ease.

    None of this even factors in points from showing or weekly pay or anything else. No it's not the most fun way to play the game but there is no reason why a player can't dedicate a percentage of their income each season to expansion and building passive returning income. If someone really wants to have a big barn they can do so, having real life money has nothing to do with it.


    Find a profit stream and just keep investing in it until you build what you need.
    (also a good lesson for making money in real life too)


    End of Ammit's advice.

  • There really is no reason in worrying about where a horse will place in a class or your net profit anymore. Just keep entering and gaining points that is all you need to focus on.
  • Awesome, thanks for clearing it up for me! :)
