Strategy

Grab a Speed Pick-up and start blasting away and don't forget to collect the coins. Always kill enemies that are close to you, don't shoot at anyone at the other end of the arena, because by the time you get there, somebody will already have collected the booty. A good alternative to killing the other opponents yourself is to just walk around and pick up any stray coins you come across. Sometimes several coins can be found after a firefight if nobody survived.
