$9 million:
     When  starting  a  free  game, set your percentage to the highest
that  it will go, and your opponents to the lowest. When you start the
game, you will have $9 million.

Mission selection:
     When you are offered a mission in a blue envelope that you do not
like,  instead  of refusing it, click on the "Town/Pizza" icon and the
envelope  will  disappear.  About  ten game minutes later, you will be
offered another mission.
