Well all things considered, having already won a ton, and needing this game for the match, and seeing as how 23 cards will win for me vs 16 will lose for me with this next prediction, I will gamble and say the next card will be higher than the 6.

If it's higher, not only we'll have a tie game, but you'll also win a trip to Chicago. Is it higher? [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Yes... and we have a tie game! And Bill... not only that you've won the second round for a tie match and $500, you have also won this trip. George...? |

[TPiR TRIP CUE PLAYS...]George: Bill, you have won a trip to CHICAGO![CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to Chicago, Illinois for a six-night stay at the historic Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Breeze through the Windy City -- and check all the sites and great night life of Chicago. We're also adding $5,000 in cash for a shopping spree on the Magnificent Mile. This package is worth $13,215. Congratulations, Bill!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Tony: So Bill... how do you feel after winning a trip to Chi-town?

Mainly I feel glad that I was able to tie up this match and force the sudden death tie-breaker.
I am excited too since the Cubs are doing rather well this season, hope to visit Wrigley and take in a game!

That's great to hear, Bill. I hope you'll have a fun time visiting Chicago soon. Right now, we're looking at a tie ball game since Bill and Matt has each won a game. The Bella Twins are now placing three cards for each player. And once again... *grabs card* It's time for a one-question... Sudden Death match. Someone has to win it on this final play of the cards. Bill... we've asked 100 movie goers who had seen the film "Suicide Squad"-- Do you approve of having non-violent convicts to work without pay to help the poor and elderly?How many of them say they would approve non-violent convicts to work without pay to help the poor and elderly? |

I really like this question, very thought-provoking.
I could be wrong, but I tend to think the average movie-goer probably has a tendency toward being a bit more liberal minded, given how so many of Hollywood's stars are as well.
Non-violent without pay, a way to do some community service.
I think a vast majority of movie-goers would say it is acceptable, I'll say 62 out of 100 said yes it is okay.

[DING]62 out of 100 say they would approve non-violent convicts to work without pay to help the poor and elderly. What do you think of the answer, Matt... higher or lower?

I agree with Bill. I think it's acceptable but I think it is going to be a little lower.

[DING]This answer will be decided. Bill says 62 and Matt says it's lower. The actual number of movie goers say they would approve non-violent convicts to work without pay to help the poor and elderly is-- [DING-DING-DING, APPLAUSE]93. Not lower... it is higher. Bill... before you play your cards, I'm gonna turn over you and Matt's base cards. You have a 4 while Matt has an 8. You may change your 4 if you want since you've won Sudden Death. If you want to pass it to Matt, he must play on his 8 and call both cards right. One mistake, and the winner will be playing the Money Cards. So... what's your decision, Bill... play or pass?

Although I have a better than 75% chance of calling this next card right, with an 8 as his base card and not being able to change it, I will relinquish control of the board to Matt.

If it's lower, you're still alive. If not, Bill will playing the Money Cards. Lower than an 8... [BUZZER]No... and that means Bill is still our champion! [WINNING BELL SOUNDS, WIN CUE 2, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Bill... come on over and stand at the Goodson mark for a moment. Matt... you were a great player. Hope you had a great time after winning some cash in the first round... right? |

Yes, it was indeed a great match. Along with some parting gifts, you'll be leaving us with an all cash total of an even $3,000. Give it up for Matt Ringgenberg, folks... [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Up next, Bill will be going for the big dough and at least a shot at winning a sports car. The Money Cards are still ahead when Card Sharks returns after this. Do not touch that remote. We'll be right back. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE CONTINUES...]*fade to commercial* ==================================================================================== |

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And welcome back to Card Sharks. Bill McDee is still our champion for today. So far, he has a grand total of $171,433 in cash and prizes. Right now, he's gonna try his luck at winning even more cash and a shot at winning a brand new sports car. Are you ready to win it all, champ? |

I can hardly believe I am standing here yet again, after losing that first game. I am indeed ready to have at it again!

OK then. Let's see you win the big bucks playing the Money Cards! [MAIN OPENING THEME, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]You already know the rules so I'm sure you'll try to win as much as $168,000 on the turn of the cards. Minimum bets are $100 and you must bet at least half on the Big Bet. And remember... if you get a push, you don't lose your wager and your bet carries over. And for winning the game, Nikki Bella has a Joker card for you. And whenever there's another Joker appears during your bet, you'll get an extra chance of trying to win that car. George will announce it later. But for now, let's see you win some cash. Good luck to you, Bill. Here's $1,000. [DING]And whenever you're stuck with a middle card, you may choose one of the three spare cards to change one card per line. You'll begin the game with $1,000 and.... --an Ace! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |

Post by tmann3x on Aug 11, 2016 16:02:38 GMT -5
Just like that... you now have $2,000. [DING, APPLAUSE]$2,000 and a Queen. Do you want to play this card or change it, Bill? |
|
|

Post by billmcdee on Aug 11, 2016 18:48:14 GMT -5
I'd never turn my back on a lovely lady.
Keep that Queen and let's bet all of it lower.

Post by tmann3x on Aug 12, 2016 15:30:47 GMT -5
Risking $2,000 lower than a Queen... [DING, APPLAUSE]Yes... with a 5. You now have $4,000 and a five. Do you want to keep the card or use one of the spare cards? |

Post by billmcdee on Aug 12, 2016 17:17:03 GMT -5
Let's swap out that 5. I'd like replacement card number one please, Tony.

Post by tmann3x on Aug 12, 2016 21:00:46 GMT -5
Changing with spare card number 1. You must play this card now that the 5 has become... ...a 4. [APPLAUSE] |

[AUDIENCE REACTS]What a shock. Bill is gambling everything. $4,000 higher than a 4... [DING, APPLAUSE]Yes... with an 8. $8,000 and an 8. We'll move your 8 into the next level and add $2,500 of betting money... [DING]You now have $10,500 and that dreaded middle card. Do you want play on your 8 or use one of the remaining spare cards?
