Really nice,we all come here to help each other through the harder spots and speed our play up. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Question: I have got the billion but I seem to be stuck here or should it even go higher than one billion? I might add that my bet is 50 million for each run. I would like to keep it up there if I can,since I to pay out some high bribes...lol Just paid UP 200 mil....lol

Ok, everyone seems confused as to what to bet and when. Let me try to clarify.
You will get a minimum of 5% of your current cash.
If you are below 100 million you may alter the bet at 5 million(5% of 100M).
Therefore if you do not have 100 million you should raise the bet to 5 million.
Once you have 100million or more there is no need to set the bet as the minimum bet will be over 5 million.
So to make the big bucks you just need to have more cash.
the bet = .05 * your current cash
100Million = 5Million bet
200Million = 10Million bet
500Million = 25Million bet
999Million = 49.95Million bet
So basically your biggest bet could be $49,999,999 else you already had the Billion dollars and the achievement.
You can not stack vertical, because the sticky hook will not grab the end of the box. What I did for a fast billion, was do it all in one go. I went and got 3 containers from the Maricabo Refinery Dock (north of the big rig outside your window), and stacked them up where I usually stack the ones that appear for the challenge. The stacked containers that you brought in, will stay where they are from challenge to challenge, whereas the spawning ones reset. (until you are killed, or load a game). You then just have to start a winch challenge, get in the helo and put the toolbox on your already stacked containers. Lazy bastard that I am, I even tried to stack the containers in the center; hoping the toolbox would spawn already on top of them; but noooo. Do not put them too close to the exact center where the toolbox spawns, because it will spawn under the stacked containers.
i tried it and managed to get to $1billion [is $1billion the max?]
using the closest jellycopter to the crate i completed the challenge in 14 seconds
I found out myself that once you hit 10 million in wages it starts over at 1 million; Unless you don't look at the wage. if you don't look at the wage it continues to keep going up 2 tenths every round. if you look at your wager then it resets it and you get 1 million. before the round if you just scroll down you can see how much you are waging. I will be in the billionaire club tonight or next morning when I wake up.
So that's what I was doing wrong! I'll have to try again and see what happens.

does this trick still work?
I tried to use it to be a billionaire but I think that, after game's last patch, it isn't possible to have more than 5 mil. as max bet, which is kinda lame...
How long does it take to get to/past $5M as the bet max? Because I already have about $340M from just playing the game and yet the most I can bet right now is about $1.7M and it goes up VERY slowly (less than $100K each time). I just want to check if that's how it's supposed to work up until you get to/past $5M or if I'm just wasting my time.

I think they fixed this little trick with last patch...
coz, I could raise my bet sky- high few months ago, but after my game was patched, I found myself with 5 000 000 max bet, instead of 120 000 000 I had before...
damn developers, they should be fixin' that damn co-op part, not making life & cash hard to get...
The patch should only fix some Onlineproblems, not more not less.
The trick works fantastic but there is one point to give attention at.
Try to build up your stack as high as posssible and your "overhigh" will be added to your wag and THATS why it increases, too.
For example: U just have to get 7m but if u build up to 10m you got +300K.
Hope i could help
Nearby is some kind of stadium, u can grab a fifth (maybe a sixth) box there ^^
And the nicest thing is: if u grab some new boxes and let them remain in your traget-circle and if u stack the tower together, they will be saved right there. So if u .start the next challenge, the boxes are still available from the start (next to the others).
That makes a nice coop work, one is stacking, the other one get's the boxes anywhere (stadium). My boxes became glitched, so one is hooving in the air without anything under it. So the stack is building up by itsself. I love it !

I figured that was probably the case so I tried playing offline after clearing out all the updates and it still does that. Maybe another glitch? I don't know but it's going to make the achievement a pain in the ass.
hey, i ve been doing the challenge and something has glitched to where it wont even give the tattooed millionaire achievement, can you think of anything to help ? thatnks

Are you connected to the EA servers ? You need to be connected online for it to unlock and you also need to save your game that should work.
i don't know if anyone is still goin for this... but the minimum bet is 5% of your total amount of cash... so keep doing the maximum bet for 5 million each, and once you get over 100 million total dollars. always bet the minimum bet,(so don't change the wager at all) and it will slowly tick up as you do it. this has not been patched and still works. and once you hit about 200 million it starts going up really fast. hope this helped anyone having problems with this.

Thanks a lot, I was having a bit of trouble figuring this out. I appreciate the post.
I might have missed it in the posts, and if so, I apologize. Here's my question: Is this accumulative or do you have to actually have 1 billion in your account at once to unlock?
