Card Sharks Plus Show #7 - JDGA vs ???

[StrangerCoug]

Higher again

[dad90]

If this card is higher than a 5, you'll be our champion once again. Is it higher?

NO!!!!!!!!

(Buzzer)

And that means that MonkeyMan576 is our new champion!

(Winning Bells, Match Win Cue, Cheers and Applause)



StrangerCoug, don't feel too bad. You did the right thing, but the cards were not in your favor this time. However, you are certainly not going to walk away empty-handed.

In fact, we're going to add the $650 you got in this game to your prior winnings, and you are leaving us with...



$115,500!

(Cheers and Applause)

Give it up for StrangerCoug! Also, StrangerCoug, be on standby in case everything goes wrong at the Money Cards, so don't go too far off....

Now, MonkeyMan576, come over here! Not only you've won $500 for this game to bring you up to $4,100, but you've also won this!

[dad90]

(Commercial Break)

[dad90]

And welcome back!

StrangerCoug had a great championship run, but it ended with MonkeyMan576 claiming it, and now, he's about to run the Money Cards. Are you ready, MonkeyMan576?

[MonkeyMan576]

I'm ready.

[dad90]

Then let's go to the Money Cards!!!!

(Money Cards theme plays, Cheers and Applause)



Since this is first time here, I'll explain how the Money Cards works....



You'll begin the game with $1,000 on the bottom line... three cards to bet as you will.



When you move up to the second level, we'll add $2,500 of betting money and three more cards.

For the first two levels, minimum bets are $100...



until you get to the top of the card, the Big Bet. There, you must risk at least half the money.

And if at any event you get a push, you don't lose any of it and your bet carries over. However, at the BIG BET, if it's a push, it's a loss.

That is important, because the more correct calls you make, the better the Jackpot to shoot for at the JACKPOT CARDS.

3 Money Cards called right - $7,500
4 Money Cards called right - $10,000
5 Money Cards called right - $15,000
6 Money Cards called right - $20,000

Get all 7 Money Cards called right (a tie is not counted as a correct call) - $65,000

If you make 2 calls right or less, or bust at the second level or at the BIG BET, your opponent will play the Jackpot Cards for a $2,000 consolation prize.

And to make sure that you indeed have a chance at the Jackpot Cards...



You have been given 1 Free Joker that Momoyo is holding, and there are 3 more Jokers in the deck, so you can win up to 4 chances at the Jackpot Cards, but if only you make at least 3 correct cards.

With all that said, MonkeyMan576, I wish you the best of luck. Here's $1,000.



(ding)

Also, in case if you're stuck with a middle card, you can use one of the three spare cards to change one card per line. You'll begin the game with $1,000 and...



a 4. Do you want to play this card and bet or change it?

[MonkeyMan576]

Bet, $800 higher

[dad90]

I was wondering where you were...

Right, let's go! $800, higher than a 4...



Yes, with an 8!



(ding)

Keep the 8 and bet, or change it?

[MonkeyMan576]

$200 higher.

[dad90]

You're going to play the 8 and go for $200, higher than the 8...



Yes, with a Jack!



(ding)

You have $2,000 and the Jack in which you can play and bet on the Jack or you can change it if you want. What do you want to do?

[MonkeyMan576]

How many changes do I have?

[dad90]

First of all, I'm back from my unexpected vacation in California.

Second, for this first line, MonkeyMan576, you have only one change per line.

[dad90]

MonkeyMan576, are you still there? If so, please respond.

[JDGA]

He hasn't posted on the forum since November 3rd...

[dad90]

MonkeyMan576 is still not here, is he?

[dad90]

OK. I'll wait for 72 hours until I ask for 2 new players.

[dad90]

OK, I'm going to need 2 new players, as I have the official Card Sharks cards ready!

[Tatsuya Kaname]

/in

[dad90]

One more to go.

[JDGA]

*sigh*

/in?

[dad90]

(Intro)

Rich Jefferies: Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds and Spades...

In this game the suits matter not...

It's only knowing higher or lower...

that could win you the Jackpot. On....

And now, here's the host of Card Sharks Plus, dad90!

(Cheers and Applause)

dad90: Thank you! And welcome to Card Sharks Plus! TV's only show where you could win a fortune in cash and prizes on the turn of the cards. And if you play your cards right, you could win up to $168,000, and at least a chance to win a trip, the Big Jackpot....or a brand-new car. I would like to say a very special thanks to Jenna Owens for that opening poem, in which she watches us on KTVT in Dallas, Texas. Now, let's meet our dealers for Card Sharks Plus, Highschool DxD's Rias Gremory, and Majikoi S's Momoyo Kawakami, as we get to the cards!





(Main Theme Plays, Cheers and Applause)



DK: And while these ladies set up the board, let's say hello to these Card Sharks.



(contestants run to their podiums)

Please welcome Tatsuya Kaname and JDGA!

(Cheers and Applause)

We'll talk to you guys later, but right now, let's start our game by playing the Hi-Lo Showdown!





(audience applause)

Now, here's how this works. We're going to take turns calling cards correctly. For the first card that you call correctly, you will win $50. Then the next one for $100, $150 for the third, and $200 for the fourth. You can win up to $500 if you play your cards right.

Also, you cannot freeze the card, and you cannot change the card in the Hi-Lo Showdown. Last, but not least, if you make more money than your opponent, you'll win an extra $500, as well as this.



This is a BONUS BAR. This will help you to change any 1 bad card, or use it as an extra Joker in the JACKPOT CARDS.

Now, that we're all set, let's play the game!

(audience cheers)

Tatsuya has won the toss backstage, so you get to go first, and here's your base card.



It's a 9. This first call is for $50.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Hmmm... Higher.

[dad90]

Going against the odds...Let's see if you're right. Higher than a 9?



Yeah, I didn't think so.

(buzzer)

OK, JDGA, over to you with your base card...



It's a 5. This first one is for $50.

[JDGA]

Higher?
