Begging is an action that players can take in the shop when they have exactly 0 coins. When they do so, the Blaseball Gods grant them coins so that they may continue gambling.

Mechanics

A player must have exactly 0 coins to beg. It has been documented that a player with a negative number of coins cannot beg.

It is widely considered[citation needed] optimal for players to bet until they have 0 coins, then beg, then bet, then beg, and so on until the players have no other ways to spend their money; this maximizes the total of coins spent and coins had. Some theorize that this is a scheme to restore the Blaseball Gods.

It is unknown whether begging has long-term consequences.

Factors Affecting Begging

There has been no prolonged study as to what factors affect the number of coins gifted by the gods. However, some players recite short poems as they bet, believing it to raise the average number of coins when recited with sufficient passion. Here is one example of such a poem:

In the splort that will take place,

let us fill up ev'ry blase.

And if this wish you'll refuse,

May I have some coin to lose!


Some players create their own poems. Fans of the Breckenridge Jazz Hands often sing them.
