    Well, this just restored my hope in humanity.

    I would've gotten a good backhand in before security got to me.

    A bit of game theory in a game show. I like it.

    Basically, you should always go with steal.

    Better yet... get roommates/friends to play the game. Or family. Could lead to some epic meltdowns

    Yeah, you either win all or lose all where if you split you win half or lose all and you can always split the money after the show.

    Not really. Because once you become predictable to the other player and they know you won't "split", they will "steal" every time as well. That is the worst possible outcome.

    I'd like to believe that the show probably paid her to do that for higher ratings. The couple is living together still, sharing the bonanza.

    If not, then $@#$ :mad: That man has more composure than me if my woman did that.

    How is the show played? Do they do this multiple times? Because if it's a one time thing (the host had to explain how it was played) there's no reason not to choose "steal". If the other person chooses "steal", you've lost no matter what you pick, so you might as well go big or screw them out the money too in the process.

    EDIT: I looked it up on Wikipedia. This is only the last round of the game so it's not like you specifically tip your hand before hand though there are parts of the game where you can lie or tell the truth about what balls you have in your possession.
