I've been reading a lot about money-making schemes in GTA IV multiplayer, and everyone seems to believe something different works best. What is the one mathematically fastest way to make money?

Assume the player has access to the main game, The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and The Damned DLC packs. Try to avoid answers that require boosters (people who are willing to help you specifically gain money), since they're few and far between.

Running Hangman's NOOSE over and over again with a solid group of people who know how the situation plays out exactly and can communicate is a great way to earn money. You can run NOOSE with random players, but if you aren't winning every time and doing so in just a few minuets the rate at which you earn money isn't as high as it could be. The OP might consider this a "boosting" answer since the money gained is higher when working with a group of well coordinated players, if so just disregard it.

I'd still say that Hangman's NOOSE is the best way though, because when it goes well you win rather quickly, and when things go bad, your group is killed rather quickly. The other forms of multiplayer (DM/TDM/Racing/Turf Wars/ect) can take much longer and don't return nearly as much money.

Just be warned if you are looking to get the Wanted achievement/trophy. The grind to it ($5,000,000 gained in multiplayer) will take forever no matter which method you end up using.

I would say find the right game type for yourself. The reason people have different methods that are the best according to them is because they found a way that works well for their play style. It all depends on what aspect of the game you are good at. If your good at shooting, choose a shooting game type, if your good at driving choose a racing game type, etc. The money needed to hit the highest level is a lot so find something your comfortable with and do it!

Real Easy to get this with Boosters. There are two websites (hint: search 360 achievements and true achievements) that run lots and lots of boosting sessions (For any xbox game) all the time. I'll let you find them yourself, it's not too hard at all.

What you wanna do is use the Happiness island rubber banding method. So that means little effort from you and your boosting partner and getting approx 150k - 160k an hour for the shooter, and 20k for the person dying. Awesome eh?
