I suggest that you never try to steal, when you are still accumulating for ddpoints. Only play the lottery or steal or play in arcade if you have a surplus of points that you don't really need. For now, just post. Try to make 3-4 posts everyday, and you'll have 2000ddpoints in no time.
Also, you can do offers in the "ddpoints incentive" section of the board. You'll get tons (probably adding to 1000+) if you do all of them. Trust me, I got most of my points this way.
Hope this helps.
