The game of probability.
Who can afford to play?
I watched Deal or No Deal on TVMobile that day.
This lady, Theresa(sp?) apparently had like six cases left.
The banker's offer was 14.8k. And 4 cases were less than 1k. Two cases were 10k and 100k respectively.
So while everyone was busy 'FORCING' her to say 'No Deal!', she said:
'I can do a lot of things with $14800 you know.'
If it was me, I'll tell the whole audience to shut up, and take the 14.8k.
You can call me cowardly of non-risktaker. I don't give a damn.
14.8k.
There's no prize for guessing what she chose.
No deal.
And she ended up with 10 freaking bucks.
Well, many people will just superficially shrug it off and say 'It's just a game.'
Then they'll run home and chop off their family members' heads for blatantly shouting No deal.
With that, she got 0.067567567% of what she could have gotten.
And then people will go on,'Who knows if you don't try?'
Shoo, idiot. Greed kills.
Losing $14790 isn't child's play.
You can shout 'No Deal!', cos you're not the one playing. You won't feel a pinch even if she lost it.
And the ridiculous husband was,'$10000's in the case honey.' Retardedly till I can't count.
I rather take the $14800 and could still give out big angpows. It was New Year's, mind you. The stupid nephews and nieces shouting 'No Deal!', sure, you evidently didn't get a good deal.
Your $10 angpow has shrunk into a 5 cent one. 1 cent if it was legal tender.
Well, anyway I can have a good laugh still. Human drama is real fun to watch.
The money will never be mine anyway. I'm not playing.
If I did, my bank account would be $14800 by now.
Imagine the number of pillows that could get me. Even gold ones.
