Years ago I saw a magazine (“Help”, I think) that gave good directions concerning how to cheat at Monopoly. The one that impressed me most was buying and building a Bridge (from the Bank) that would span Park Place and The Boardwaly, making it impossible for you to land on them, especially with hotels, and lose your shirt! Even included a paste-it-on-cardboard-and bend-up-the-sides bridge to use (longer span needed for three-property suites).
