am i wasting my time on this? the early fiver is easy enough but i wouldn't mind more than £2 after that. but for some reason i am enthralled by it, i'd suggest that other nevergonnabes are too.

This one has some potential. Bit of a three bears game.

Ive seen this game on the telly a few times. Id just blantley tell them i was gonna steal and over a handshake if they split id give them half anyway otherwise its a no win situation. I mean lets face it no point in both of us going home with nothing if its two steals.

My guess with this one is that 90% of wins will be in the £2-£3 area and that 90% of the time this will be caused by getting a Killer at some point in the prize structure. The first time I got through to the end game on this I actually knew for certain that I would get a Killer, given that the game is advertised as having a £20 Jackpot and the first three prizes had added up to £27!

As for the TV programme, good friends of mine have been on and after watching their shows I'd say it was one of the nastiest and least edifying TV shows I have ever seen. I suppose on that basis we shouldn't hold out too much hope for the quiz game!

Not too hard, not too easy. In fact it's just right....................

If I went on the show I'd steal. Im actually a nice person but I'd steal.

If I select "split" then the balls in the opponents court. They make the decision.

If I select steal, then I'm in control. Yes, they might steal too, but I know i'm either getting it all or nothing, and im not going to be the twat that leaves with nothing whilst they steal it all!

Basic game theory would suggest you steal every time.

i have never seen the show so don't know what you are talking about unless the steal is the guaranteed killer ball on the last one when you have £whatever.

oooooh what an oonk

The end game on the show has the 2 contestants sitting facing each other. They are given a golden 'split' ball and a golden 'steal' ball -neither contestant can see the other one's balls

.

They get a minute to persuade each other to both 'split' and share the cash.

Then they both reveal at the same time the ball they chose.

Both split = share the cash
Both steal = lose all the cash
One split, one steal = the one that steals gets all the money.

The TV show really puts me off, just seeing how greedy some people are over others. I'm surprised there's not been a few after-show punch-ups in the TV centre car-park!

whenever ive seen it a woman always steals and a bloke has split. one show two women had 60grand and one of them stole. (nelson) Ha Ha. my ways the best all day.

Just played this at lunch.

Seems an ok game.

Never made it past round 2. Weird question structure during my games, spoilers followed by ridiculously easy then vice versa all throughout first 2 rounds.

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 1:31 pm

the impossible/easy question combos do seem peculiar. on the last ball yesterday it gave me two Q's with one try again left:

first Q: which of these is equivalent to 45.5 hectares?
which i fluked on second guess
second Q: what colour shirts do the new zealand rugby team wear?
i resisted pink, white and yellow and won a cheeky £4.
