I've decided to start busting again 'till I get to 1,000.
I've used approximately 200 energy just there on busting and 90% of the time I was jailed. I was also buying some people out in between to slowly work towards the 500 bails honour.
Is there any pre-research into the effects of busting and buying at the same time?
The terrible success rate I've been having just doesn't seem right, I've been failing too much.
Perhaps I'm just very unlucky.

If you care about your failure rate (energy wasted) try busting 1 or 2 people every 15 minute block. So let's say it's 9:40 TCT, bust 1 or 2, then don't bust anymore until 9:45 TCT and so on.
bailing inbetween doesn't appear (to me at least) to affect your success rate busting wise (as you can see I do a lot of busting and bailing).

Update: Used over 300 energy busting now and I've busted maybe four people successfully.
Fuck that man.

Thanks for the information man, I'll try busting less frequently then. It's quite annoying to have to do this if I have a full energy bar sitting there (as I never train), but I suppose I can do a bust/attack combo.

Another point, it's easier to bust people who've been caught trying to bust someone else or break themsleves out of jail.

The lower the level and the less time in jail = easier busts.
As others have said you have to take a break in between busts. Once you do 2 or 3 wait half an hour or so and then do a couple of more.
Supposedly dexterity also makes a difference.

As said above me the less time in jail the easier
I've also heard that levels close to your own are easier to bust as well
Like me, I completed the "Law" education, where Busting is 50% easier and buying is 50% cheaper.
If you haven't done so I recommend you do that...

Paying 250k per loss.
Paying 500k per successful run away.
Doing full spy reports - Battle Stats, Working stats + money ; 850k per player
Doing revives 900k each. |

The proven rule is: If you have not completed the Law Bachelors or do not work in a 5 * law firm, then do not attempt to bust out more than 3 people in a 15 minute interval
The following education will assist you:
LAW2900: Gain the ability to buy yourself out of jail. This is so that you can buy yourself out if you get caught busting someone, failing which, you can alway buy a lawyer business card which is a multiple use item (costs about $1mil) which you can use from your
item list any time you're in jail
The cost of buying is normally $25 per minute x level, unless you've done the education to reduce costs of bailing / buying someone out or work in a 5 * law firm
LAW2920: Gain a 5% bonus to your skill in busting
LAW2970: Gain a 10% bonus to your skill in busting
LAW3102: Gain two bonuses: Busting is 50% easier and buying out is 50% cheaper
If you've completed the above education and work in a 5 * law firm, you should be able to bust more people in a row in 15 minutes
It has been said that you need 4k dexterity per hour that the person is in jail for. So if someone is in jail for 10 hours you would need 40k dexterity to be able to bust them out
It is rumoured that busting people around your level is easier than busting other people. I have successfully busted many lvl 40's, 50's and 60's without a problem. Also a few 70's and one level 84
It is rumoured that the higher your nerve bar, the easier it is to bust people. Many people have bust thousands of people on 10 nerve, so not sure how true that is. I think it has more to do with total crimes committed, but have no proof that this plays a role
Merits on crime success and education to improve crime success and enormity apparently have no impact on busting ability.

Also a faction with ''Pertinent''-upgrade will reduce your needed enrgy for busting.
