Chances are you are one of the billion or so people who have played Monopoly since its introduction in 1935.
And chances are you went to jail because of all the places you can land in Monopoly. Jail (plus Illinois and GO) ranks high as the most frequent landing place.
But that can be a good thing.
One winning strategy of Monopoly is to land in jail — at the end of the game. By that time, you should have all your hotels in place. When you land in jail, put your feet up and pray you stay there and just collect money from the hapless souls who land on your properties.
