Players can quickly earn the star tokens required to purchase all items in the shop by betting green, since the mathematical probability the wheel will land on green is 75%, versus 25% for orange. The probability is not a guarantee for any single roll, however. For efficient profit while protecting against losses, always bet half of your current stars. This can be calculated using the Kelly criterion for bet sizing:

A number of points for each item are awarded based on its sell price and quality, with a maximum of 8 points per item. The sell price used in-game is the actual sell price, not the base sell price. For example, a gold-quality item with a base sell price of {{price|200}} would earn points for having an actual sell price of {{price|300}} AND for being gold quality.

Assuming that nine items, each worth 8 points, are submitted and that the items represent at least six unique categories, the highest score obtainable is {{#expr: (14 + 8*9 + 9-2*0 + 5*6) }} (14 + 72 + 9 + 30). Getting the maximum score of 125 is only possible if one has access to [[Deluxe Fertilizer]]. Out of the eight categories that exist, six contain 8-point items: Animal Products, Artisan Goods, Fish, Foraging, Fruits, and Vegetables. 8 point Vegetable items are only obtainable with Deluxe Fertilizer. Without deluxe fertilizer to grow iridium quality crops, the next best vegetable item is the iridium-quality fiddlehead fern, at 7 points. Because of this, the highest score obtainable without access to Deluxe Fertilizer is 124.

Once the judging is complete, make sure to retrieve the items from the table, as they are '''not''' automatically returned. If you do forget to retrieve them though, you can find them later in the Lost and Found in the [[Mayor's Manor]].

* The Fortune Teller refers to the [[Dwarf]] as "she" even though the Dwarf's gender in the game data is "undefined" (<tt>Content\Data\NPCDispositions.xnb</tt>). That's due to the way the gender check in the code is written, with all non-males defaulting to "she" and no checks for "undefined" genders.
