Deal or no Deal
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

I wouldn't be surprised if they vet contestants to make sure they are dumb and entertaining. It's excruciating to watch because of the voodoo strategies people use to pick the boxes. The only strategy worth knowing is when to take the bankers offer. For sure, this is not likely to be at the start of the game because those offers are way less than one could expect to win on average (all the amounts added up divided by the number of boxes).Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostI've just been for a 10k run, I like to catch Deal or no Deal to laugh at the stupid people who think they can control chance with superstition.Comment
