(1978 CS Intro) ERIN HARRIS: Aces are high, deuces are low! Call it right, and win the dough...on Card Sharks! (1978 CS Theme) And now, here's the host of Card Sharks, Bill Skinner!Thank you very much, Erin Harris, and welcome to another edition of Card Sharks! On today's show, we have grapebuy789 trying to close out his run on Card Sharks with a fifth win, and if he does, he will retire undefeated, along with the $12,000 in cash he's won over the last four shows. But standing in the way is his opponent for the day, koopakid17! Welcome to you both, and you know how this works, so let's get to it.  Also, please give a warm welcome to our dealers, Amber Lancaster and Tiffany Coyne! While they're busy dealing the cards, I'm going to ask the first in a series of questions in which you will try to gain control of your row of five cards, which you must guess successfully to win. Two wins will send you to the Money Cards, so good luck to both of you.  grapebuy789, as the champion, you will answer the first question of the game. We asked 100 law enforcement employees: "Were you inspired to work in your profession by watching crime shows, like Law & Order and CSI?"How many of them said yes? |

With a popularity that those shows have, it wouldn't surprise me how many. It's got to be a decent number, so I'll say 56.

grapebuy789 says 56. ding! koopakid17, is the actual number higher or lower than 56? |

Post by koopakid17 on Feb 20, 2018 21:47:58 GMT -5
I think it might be even higher than that. People can be influenced on their career by what they see on television.

koopakid17 says higher. ding! And the actual number of law enforcement employees who sais that they were inspired by watching crime shows is... ding-ding-ding! ...75, so it is higher, and koopakid17 will play his cards first. Now Tiffany, what's the first card? (8 ⋄)It's an 8. Now you can play this card right away, or change it and hope for something better. What's your choice? |

Change that card!

Post by Bill Skinner on Feb 22, 2018 9:22:53 GMT -5
And so we change it to...
(2 ♥)
...a 2! So just say higher and get it over with.

Post by koopakid17 on Feb 22, 2018 13:14:36 GMT -5
Higher!
|
|
|
|
Post by Bill Skinner on Feb 22, 2018 13:20:03 GMT -5
Yeah, it has to be higher, and it is...
(9 ⋄)
ding!
...a 9. Now, would you like to continue playing and hope to get all five right, or freeze and get into the next question?
|
|
|
|
Post by koopakid17 on Feb 22, 2018 13:24:23 GMT -5
I'll freeze!
|
|
|

Post by Bill Skinner on Feb 22, 2018 23:47:16 GMT -5
We freeze at the 9, and go into Question 2.  koopakid17, we asked 100 street vendors: "Have you ever had a police officer ask you to move to another location, and gotten upset about it?"How many of them said yes? |
|
|
|
Post by koopakid17 on Feb 22, 2018 23:50:05 GMT -5
That's bound to happen and it can ruin anyone's day. I'll say 60 of them have.
|
|
|
|
Post by grapebuy789 on Feb 23, 2018 7:14:37 GMT -5
I think that number is lower.
|
|
|
|
Post by Bill Skinner on Feb 23, 2018 9:41:16 GMT -5
So it's 60 for koopakid17... ding! ...and lower for grapebuy789. ding! And the actual number of vendors who have been upset that the cops told them to move to another location is... ding-ding-ding! ...57, so it is lower, and grapebuy789 will play first this time. Now Amber will show you the base card, which is... (4 ♣) ...a 4. Would you like to play it now, or change it? |
|
|
|
Post by grapebuy789 on Feb 23, 2018 12:21:17 GMT -5
I'll say it's higher.
|
|
|
|
Post by Bill Skinner on Feb 23, 2018 12:36:47 GMT -5
So you're going to play the 4, and is it higher?
(8 ♠)
ding!
Got it! So are you going to continue or freeze?
|
|
|
|
Post by grapebuy789 on Feb 23, 2018 16:41:46 GMT -5
Lower
|
|
|
|
Post by Bill Skinner on Feb 25, 2018 0:40:03 GMT -5
Lower than an 8?
(4 ♥)
ding!
Right again! You're halfway there, and what is your next move?

Post by grapebuy789 on Feb 25, 2018 1:13:00 GMT -5
Higher

Post by Bill Skinner on Feb 25, 2018 23:41:02 GMT -5
Higher than a 4?
(K ♥)
ding!
Yes, and you're just one card away from taking the first round. So, are you going to continue or freeze?
|
|
|

Post by grapebuy789 on Feb 26, 2018 6:52:39 GMT -5
I'm gonna say lower.

As long as it's not an Ace or another King, you win the first round and $1,000 in guaranteed cash. Is it? (3 ♣) ding-ding-ding!(1978 CS Win Cue)  Well done, grapebuy789! That win now brings you one round closer to your final Money Cards... (1978 CS Theme) ...but koopakid17 will get a chance to tie the game up with a new round of questions, which will follow upon the conclusion of this. |

We're back with a new round of questions. grapebuy789 is trying to get back to what would be his final Money Cards round, but koopakid17 will get a chance to win this round and send the game to a tiebreaker. The first question will go to the challenger, koopakid17, and we asked 100 people:
"Do you trust Punxsutawney Phil's predictions on Groundhog Day?"
How many of those people said no?

Post by koopakid17 on Feb 26, 2018 14:15:39 GMT -5
I don't know why we have a Groundhog Day anyway when our weathermen are constantly getting the weather wrong. I'll say 25 out of 100.
