Let's Make a Deal (Episode 10)

[IceGuy]

Let's see what the cards have in store for you...



Do you want to continue or would you take

$3000 in cash

(but NO further deal!) instead?

[Save The Dragons]

Sorry I think I typed up a reply on my phone but didn't actually hit submit

I want to continue

[IceGuy]

Okay!



(applause)

Do you want to continue or would you take

$6000 in cash

(but NO further deal!) or do you want the last card?

[Save The Dragons]

So i have the $5000 voucher. There are 4 aces and 49 cards left, so it's 4/49 shot of zonking out here, an 8% chance.

If I keep going, it's a 44.9% chance I get the $7500 and a 46.9% of getting stuck with $5000

Basically a 55% of a worse outcome and a 45% of a better outcome. An extra $1500 would be nice, but

I will take the $6000.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

But if you go on, you'll be qualified for the Big Deal! (Unless you grab an ace.)

[IceGuy]

Do you stand by your decision or would you like to revise it in light of Tatsuya's interjection?

[Save The Dragons]

I did forget about the big deal.

I suppose me going on to it depends on whether or not other people make more money than I do. If I get a black card I'm stuck with a jewellery voucher which I have no use for

I might as well go for it, I'll reverse my decision and see what happens.

Keep going

[IceGuy]

Let's see the last card...



(oooh)

Well, it could've gone worse. You still won a

$5000 jewellery voucher

!

(applause)

For your next deal, let's play rock-paper-scissors.
You win, you get

$10,000 in cash

.
You lose, you Zonk out.
We draw, we play again.

Do you take the deal?

[Save The Dragons]

Well

(applause)

You know what this means? It's time for the BIG DEAL, a

$20,000 all-expenses-paid vacation to Las Vegas

!

(applause)

So, on this side of the studio I have three doors.
Behind one of them is your vacation.
Behind the other two is a Zonk.

Do you take the Big Deal?

[Save The Dragons]

[Save The Dragons]

I will take the big deal!

[IceGuy]

$12,000 in cash

to back down.

[Save The Dragons]

I think I'm actually going to be boring here and take the cash.

[IceGuy]

Congratulations! You've won

$12,000 in cash

and are now on top of the leader board!

(applause)

You may re-/in for the next episode.

Now for our next contestant,

ForWhomTheJellyRolls

!

[IceGuy]

Welcome,

ForWhomTheJellyRolls

! You've won a

$200 meal voucher

just by showing up!

(applause)

For your first deal, I've got two envelopes, silver and gold. One of them contains

$300 in cash

, the other one

$400 in cash

.

Do you take the deal?

[Save The Dragons]

/re in

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Yes I'll take the deal. Do I pick an envelope? if so I'll pick gold.

[Cheery Dog]

/in

[IceGuy]

Congratulations! You've won

$400 in cash

!

(applause)

For your next deal, I've got an ATM. You'll start at

$400

and I've filled it with banknotes: 10x $10, 10x $20, 10x $50, 10x $100 and 1x Zonk. You can take as many banknotes as you want - but if you hit the Zonk, you're out.

If you take the deal, please specify how many banknotes you want at first; at any point, you can request more banknotes or stop (you'll be offered another deal if you take at least one banknote).

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Cool. I will take the deal and take 12 banknotes.

[IceGuy]

Let's see what the ATM has in store for you...









The ATM starts to stutter...Suddenly, the screen of the ATM flashes OUT OF SERVICE.

(oooh)

Okay, looks like this ATM is broken. So far, you've won

$360

, which means that together with your

$400

starting money you're now at

$760 in cash

. I could get a new ATM from backstage, but ATMs are heavy, so I'd offer you

$850 in cash

instead.

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

I'll take the cash.
