The most foolish thing a player sent to jail can do on the next turn is to pay $50 to get out of jail. This will cost them money without any chance of earning more if they don't own the purple or orange properties. The best thing to do in this case is to wait and roll the dice when it is their turn again. Owning the railroads can be advantageous when other players frequently land on those spaces. The more people who land on the railroad, the more often the owner will collect rent. This can be especially advantageous if the owner also has other properties of the same color group as the railroads, since a monopoly of all the properties in a color group will double the rent collected from the railroads.
