Racketeering on Mafia Wars – FACEBOOK?
December 10th, 2009
Okay basically my problem is …
I have racketeering available on Mafia Wars on facebook – but when I watch videos or look on website guides, it says jobs cost Influence? Firstly what is influence? and secondly – is their a reason as too why jobs don’t cost me influence? For example … The Dockyard Scam – It pays me $4,500,000 back in 2 days and it costs me $1,500,000 to ’shake it down’ insted of it costing me Influence points? whatever these Influence points are.
Also what are the different racketeering? Like apparently theirs one for defence etc? Because on video guides or written guides their seems to be one with a Taxi service on?
The rackets I have available to ’shake down’ are -
Three Card Monte
Strip Club
Numbers racket
Backroom poker
Crooked Tenement
Massage parlour
Illegal sportsbook
Fixed horse race
Dockyard scam
Executive game
Escort service
According to guides im still missing Rackets such as Import/Export scam? Gun shop? Shipping company? etc.
Help please? 
Influence is a new stat that is available on some beta accounts. Influence is used to invest in Rackets.
Influences replenishes 1 point per hour. It does not refill on level-up. The maximum amount you can you hold is 20% greater than the number of skill points you have invested. So if you have 20 Influence skill points, you can "hold" up to 24 Influence points at one time (24/20).
1 Skill Point = 1 Influence
