That’s the key to winning Monopoly - own both Mayfair and Park Lane  |

I'm so obsessed with owning those two that I ignore all the others then end up bankrupted by the Old Kent and Whitechapel Road hoteliers!  |

It is a high risk strategy, especially if you go all out to build up the property portfolio on both.
The rewards make it worth while particularly when you start getting opponents having to remortgage one order to pay the rent for landing on park lane with 4 houses or a hotel |

When I was a kid I worked out which square made the most money based on being able to build hotels on it, looking at the probability of landing on it including the times you go to jail or get sent to specific squares using the chance and community chest cards.
The best payoff was Vine Street, for £200. Mayfair and Park Lane were a little way down because of the chance of you getting sent back to the left hand side of the board so often - high result if someone lands there but lower probability.
Yeah, I didn't have many friends as a kid. |

I didn't care if I won or lost so long as I had the top hat. Just gotta have that hat. |

none of this mathematical modelling for me... nothing quite like the thrill of the high risk strategy and going with your instinct....

Buy as much as you can, stop others getting sets, until you have one or are in a position to do some hard bargaining. |

If I wasn't the Scottie Dog I'd simply refuse to play  |

thats the other (nasty/ruthless) part of my mayfair/park lane preferred strategy "stop others getting sets"
Limits your own risk to cash flow issues, and it gets under the skin of your fellow players, who become distracted by the pain of not being able to invest in houses and hotels
