Hey all,

I wanna play liars dice and poker, but worried that I'm getting through my money a bit quick, how do you earn the money for buy-ins? Earning it around freeroam doesnt seem to top up the wallet at all.

Nobody knows?!!

This section is dead Anyway if I needed money I usually go hunting and shoot anything that moves, then sell them in the shop. But doing missions should give you enough money for the buy-ins. Other then doing the wanted posters I can't really think of much else.

Isn't it just!! Sorry didn't explain properly, I mean on multiplayer, you get $160 to start or something similar.

Oh multiplayer, I haven't really played much online. But I suppose playing team deathmatch, etc will give you quite a bit of cash.

When I did play online I cleared out the gang hide-outs (I think), which gave me quite bit of money for little effort, if I remember correctly.

Thanks to you guys for replying, have just found the answer to my question. I started out on free roam with $0 to spend on liars dice and poker (according to the multiplayer menu when pressed select, it displays this balance in the mutliplayer menu next to the liars dice and poker options. When you go to join a multiplayer game of either, you get credited with money. you have this balance for as long as it takes to spend it, but if you spend all of it in one day, you have to wait 24 hours before your balance is reset. 

Earning money in gang hideouts on multiplayer doesn't actually result in more money in that wallet, money in that instance tends to equal XP. More money, more XP!
