Golden Balls TV show

[suzanne]

i often watch parts of the show when i have dinner with my parents

my favourite show was the won where the guy said

"look i am going to steal and will split it 50/50 backstage"

double bluffed the guy and both hit split

HAHAHA I didnt see that one...Brilliant !!!

i do like the end of it when there is good money on offer. i saw a great one with 60k on offer and they had a very sincere, deep conversation about their kids futures and stuff. they both stole but were both in bits about it because they could really have done with the money, friggin idiots.

I can't believe any of you poker players would split!

Let's say the total prize is £1,000:

If I steal I either win £1000 or nothing
If I split I win either £500 or nothing

And here is the most important bit.....

In order to win by splitting I must convince my opponent that I am going to split. In order to win by stealing I also must convince my opponent that I am going to split.

Flushy...Yes, if everyone plays the perfect game then no one wins. Isn't that similar to poker? I'm thinking of Doyle Brunson's quote. It's something like:

"I don't make money because I play well, I make money because my opponents play badly".

I saw the one Ironside mentioned..!!!

it went somewhere on the lines of....

Bear in mind you need to convince the other guy you are gonna split....

"Right, I am gonne choose STEAL no matter what."
"Are you mad, you cant do that"
"I will split the money with you 50-50 after the show".
"I dont believe you will do that".
"You have my word as an honourable man, I will do that, but, you MUST choose SPLIT for it to work".
He questioned him more times to see if he was really gonna be honest about backstage split..
"Yes but you have to choose split and i am choosing STEAL..2
"OK then"...
Then... he really did choose SPLIT...  but the man choosing STEAL...  he chose SPLIT as well and the were no backstage deals as they split it by the rules..!!

Veyr clever way of doing it and I wonder why noboy else has done it since..  Maybe they are told that deal is not allowed..

Dont forget that they will all be filmed well in advance of being on tv so noone will have seen any of the shows before it is thier turn to be.
