Again trying to make Nels' split as narrow as possible. Kourtney, let's see your card for this hand:  (Whoa! from the crowd) Well what do you know, you also have a 7. O you are probably wishing now you had kept that 3! Let's see how the hand plays out. Time for another High Card toss-up.  Kourtney, you know the drill, two numbers please. |

Let’s try 13 and 1.

13 will be revealed first.  Oh an Ace! That's an instant winner right there PLUS another Bonus Draw token for the pot limit end game if you get there Kourtney!  That all important vital control remains with you Kourtney. Are you keeping the next card and hoping it will fit your split, or passing it to try to bust Nels? Bear in mind you still have that insurance marker. |

If it's good enough for Patrick Mahomes... Trying to bust Nels yet again...  Whoa just barely with an 8! (ding)  Kourtney you are in quite fine shape. Up one game to none, up 2 hands to none, an extra bonus draw for Pot Limit plus an insurance marker in hand. Also if you win this next hand, in addition to winning the game and match, you'll also win the $400 Blitz Jackpot as well. Nels, it's now or never time. Hands on buzzers for this next puzzle toss up: It's worth $75, the hand is $175, $350 for you Kourtney should you win it. I need a 5 letter word starting with S that links the words:  RATTLE with CHARMER (ding)  Nels you are in first! As this is Easter weekend the deadline is extended until 7pm EST on Monday, April 10th for you to reply with your answer. |

Correct for $75! Time to begin your comeback Nels. First card for this hand is...  A 4. Do you wish to keep that, place it in the center, or pass that down to Kourtney? |

(applause from the gallery) I dare say the audience agrees with that decision. Next card please...  (gasps and OOOHHH from the audience) Another 4. Is that one going to Kourtney or in the center Nels? |

(screams of disbelief)  Kourtney's card is an 8, not a very wide split for him but Nels, you left yourself no wiggle room whatsoever. Only another 4 will win for you.  Time for a High Card toss up. Nels, you're in control this time, please select any two numbers in the order in which you'd want them to be revealed. If your first choice is either a King or a 2, you'll retain control of the Split Decision deck. |

Post by billmcdee on Apr 9, 2023 12:51:07 GMT -5
Card number 12 this time is...  A six. Nels do you wish to keep that or refuse it and make it Kourtney's card? 5 cards will better the 6, 4 will lose to it. What's your pleasure keep the 6 or pass it and hope that the next card you chose is higher? |

Kourtney is given the 6 and Nels you kept for yourself...  Oh no a 2!!! Oh if only you had made that your FIRST selection!  Kourtney, control of the next card belongs to you. Are you keeping it or are you passing it to try to bust Nels? Only another 4 would win for him, and get him a $5,000 bonus! You'd win if the next card is a 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 if you keep it. What do you say Kourtney? |

Nels, if in fact another 4 comes up, you'll win this hand and a $5,000 bonus and remain alive! If an Insurance Card comes up first, you'll get the marker as Kourtney passed to you. Anything else, and Kourtney will become our first two time Split Decision Champion, and win $350 for this hand plus claim the $400 Blitz Jackpot as well. What's the next card please Witney?  Oh no an Ace! And Kourtney Wilson retains the championship! vocaroo.com/fq6pbLAwfUewww.dougmorris.net/chain/sfxding.mp3  Kourtney, congratulations on another match win. $2,275 in today's match, a grand total thus far of $8,600, with an opportunity to win so much more in a moment. Well Nels, regardless of the misplay of the double 4's, it seems you would have lost that hand regardless unfortunately. You are taking home $325 in cash with you plus a bevy of consolation prizes as well! A very nice hand for Nels Snesrud!  We must pause for the cause, and while we're away, we'll be getting things set up for Pot Limit! Kourtney is once again taking an insurance marker to that round and that will come in quite handy. Back with more excitement after these words of interest! |

(First few notes of theme)  Welcome back to Split Decision. Kourtney Wilson has the distinct honor of becoming our very first two time champion on the program. $8,600 in total winnings thus far, and that is safe, free and clear. Now you're going to be playing with house money and a chance at THOUSANDS of dollars more!  Witney is now presenting you with a brand new and freshly shuffled deck of 54 playing cards, a standard deck of 52 plus 2 Jokers as well which can help add to your winnings big time! Kourtney, what we need for you to do first before we proceed any further, is to cut the cards. Please do so by selecting any number higher than 0 but lower than 54 to do so. And let's hope it's a very lucky cut! |

Let’s go with my age: 38.

Oh to be 38 again... Witney: I can't relate to that statement Bill. Luckily as I am not 38, my diminished hearing did not pick up on that last remark! Let me call your attention to our fabulous game board Kourtney:  You are going to play a maximum of seven Split Decision hands, one at a time. And this time you will be playing with house money. We'll start you off in a moment with $300. You will play up to three hands on the first level of play. When we move up to level 2, we'll give you an additional $600 in betting money, and up to three more hands on that level of play. Minimum bets are $50 and you must wager in $50 increments during the first two levels of play. When we reach the top level, that's the Major Wager. You will be staked to $1,000 of additional betting money. On this level, the minimum bet is half of your total bank. During the first three hands, you can see you will get to have 4 draws from our board of 14 cards. Hidden behind each number is a different card ranging from 2 through Ace. Each one is there only once. You will draw 4 cards and establish a split. You will then make a wager trying to predict whether the top card from YOUR deck, the one you just cut, will fit your split. If it does, we will add money to your total, if it does not, you will lose your wager. Now to help you out along the way Kourtney, you have 2 "Second Chance' tokens, one for the first level and one for the second level. If you receive a card that would lose for you, we will take that Second Chance token and deal up the very next card. Should you not use your Second Chance token on the first level, it will be available to you for the Major Wager. Should you use it on level 1 but not on level 2, it will again move up for the Major Wager, but you can only have one move up, not both. Additionally, you have 4 "Bonus Draw" tokens. We give you 3 automatically plus you picked up one during the match. You may use one and only one Bonus Draw token during any given hand. The longer you can hold off using them, the better. Also, in addition to the 13 regular cards on our board, we have one that says "Acey Deucey". If you find that, your split will automatically be an Ace high and a 2 low! There are 2 Jokers in your deck. If a Joker is dealt up at any time Kourtney, you will automatically have your total pot amount doubled, regardless of your wager! Furthermore, should a Joker be dealt up during your final hand, the Major Wager...in addition to your entire pot being doubled, you will also receive an added Jackpot on top of that which is worth today:  $28,000! SO you could in theory, win up to $78,000 here today! During the first 3 hands, if your center card should happen to tie either the high or low card in your split, you will WIN your wager. During the next 3 hands, should your center card tie, it's a push, no win, no loss. If that happens though, we will take your insurance marker from you and you will win your wager. If you do not need the insurance marker until the Major Wager, that can be turned in at that time if your card ties, since ordinarily a tie loses during the Major Wager. Here's $300 to start:  Kourtney, good luck and good hunting! Please select any four numbers to establish your opening split. |

And that gets you...  (Gasps and laughter of disbelief) A Small Straight! If only this were Yahtzee, wow, did you ever? Ace, King, Queen and Jack, what are the odds of that!  Well as it stands presently Kourtney, you have an Ace high and believe it or not a JACK Low split to work with. Do you wish to use one of your bonus draw tokens here? |

Post by billmcdee on Apr 10, 2023 6:35:22 GMT -5
Well this much is true, you can only improve your split. Maybe you'll hit the 2 or the Acey-Deucey card with this next pick. Let us hope!  No, but it is a 6.  That's a bit better split to work with Kourtney. Only a 2, 3, 4 or 5 would lose for you here. 9 cards will win, 4 will lose. You have $300, you must wager at least $50, you can bet more of course. What is your bet sir? |
