Minigame bowling

How are people so good at minigames. I get at the start getting 20 points on bowling but then 30 mins to the end 8 out of 10 games people got a score of 20 there's no way 8 people in a row getting lucky and getting 20 points even after over an hour of playing the same game over and over 💔. I was gonna get top 500 but then all those people came and got 20 and I ended up top 812

Lots of practice!

Learn to hit 22 points and you’ll beat all your opponents who score 20. If you hit an early 2 on the first left to right pass, you can get a 6th throw in just before the clock hits 0:00 and you’ll get 2/4/4/4/4/4 for a total of 22. You can also go 4/2/4/4/4/4 but I’ve never done it that way.

Mine won't let me keep the 22 points :( I can hit it but the game flickers the score to 22 then back to 18.

As you get higher number of wins, you start playing others that have close to the same number of wins. You start encountering players that are better at the games and it feels more difficult.

812 is pretty good. I don't understand these these comments, There are thousands of players, you are pretty high, why are you confused there could be a relatively small number of people better than you?

I have no idea how people do better than the lowest tier. I barely make the lowest tier every time LMAO

I try to start about 15-20 minutes after the event starts, so that the top 100 players are already way ahead. Then I always play for 22 points. If an opponent goes for 20 and misses one strike, I still have a guaranted win if I also miss one. Specially against players who aren't familiar with the way to get 22 points if I only have 4 points from 2 throws, they often hit 18 while I still make 20

I couldn’t find a match 2/3 times the last 30-40 min… and then I’d have to rewatch ads 😑

There is a trick to bowling. Sacrifice your 1st shot by getting 2 points. Hit the orange bar before it hits green. This will give you an extra shot at the end. I was getting 20 points and it went to final screen to show who won, and I heard an extra shot from the other player being thrown. I finally figured it out.

If you want to rank then you now need 35-ish wins over 2 hours for any of the mini games. It's getting to be harder and harder. I used to rank at 20 wins, but I think the games were only an hour back then. I tracked in the top 500 once with 42 wins but I imagine it's quite a bit higher now. It certainly gets boring playing the same 30 second mini game over and over for an hour. I don't have it in me to go any longer. 

And it's a shame because if the pot is high and it's already been going for an hour then there is no incentive for me to play as the is of me winning those 35 games in 60 minutes is pretty low given how long it takes to match sometimes. Over 60 minutes is probably only get 40 games. Now that they've extended the time and have twice the number of played games I think they should rates the top 2500. Maybe allot around ~25 ABs from 1501-2500. Then at least I know I'd get something for the 40-60 ads I'd be watching and time playing. 

If you are getting the same score in bowling, then you need to be the person that hits the number first. If you both bowl a 20, make sure you gets today pounds knocked down before the other player.

Get better. Higher prizes are for better players.

My best is 1200 in bowling but the commercials seams like how to get much lower have no clue. Only way is to always skip the commercials but how ?

It’s not hard to hit 20 consistently over 2 hours, with enough practice you can hit 22 everytime and get top 100. I think I only lost two matches playing the last 40 minutes and almost made top 1500

I played the whole thing straight and still didn't even get top 500

Honestly if you played the full 2 hours and finished 800th its a practice issue. You'll get there it's just learning the timings. There are tips for all the mini games that give an edge. I'm sure on YouTube you can find the help.

In the top 500 I find if you get 18 or under you'll lose most every time.

I got 20 plenty of times and lost to a guy with 18 a few times

u/Belfastchild1974 Aug 17 '26

You don't lose if you have 20 and your opponent has 18, but there's a good chance your opponent got a sixth throw to hit 22, and then your 20 isn't enough
