Card Sharks: S2E87 (END)

[koopakid17]

82 waiters and waitresses are okay with letting a customer sample an alcoholic beverage.

[82][__][__]

*ding*

Chris, higher or lower?

[EaglesWings1975a]

I also do not drink alcohol and I have also seen it especially in the very very nice restaurants.

I know before COVID, there would be people doing free samples at the store on Saturday's.. I would taste some of them and I would end up buying some..


I will say higher

[koopakid17]

Even higher than 82.

[82][__][HI]

*ding*

Actual number of servers and servresses, uh... waiters and waitresses who would be fine with letting a customer sample an alcoholic beverage before deciding to order one is...

[82][57][HI]

*dingdingding*

57 of them; it was lower than that! It would be good for businesses, but doing it too often would reduce the supply. Bill, the choice is up to you.

You're one card away from going to the Money Cards. You can do it off a 7 or a change, but Chris ties this game up you're wrong. You can pass it to Chris who must play off his Jack and call two cards for the tiebreaker. If he goofs, you win the game. How about it?

[billmcdee]

I think his Jack is too good, so I will play it myself and change the 7 please.

[koopakid17]

All righty then. This is for all the marbles. That seven becomes...

Well here's hoping it's lower.

[koopakid17]

If it's lower, you retain your title...

*'86 CS Long Win Cue*

Another notch in Bill McDee's belt. Chris, we thank you for playing. Let's not forget you won $1,000 for that exacta earlier.

Bill, you're going to play the Money Cards. But you'll have to wait for a few minutes because we have a few words from our sponsors!

[koopakid17]

Bill McDee is back at the Money Cards. $62,765 already. Maybe another $80,000 and a car when all is said and done.

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
[500][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]

We give you another $500 to make three calls across the bottom row. Then, we give you an extra thousand for another three bets across the middle. Minimum bets are $100, until you get to the Big Bet. That's where you must wager at least half your dough. We allow one change per level, you just have to tell us when you want to use one of the three Spare Cards.

[S*1]
[S*2]
[S*3]

$500 coming your way.

[$1K][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
[500][10♣][C*S][C*S][C*S]

A ten.

[EaglesWings1975a]

Good game Bill.. Good luck with the money cards

[billmcdee]

Thank you Chris.

Thank you Kevin.

I'd like to change that 10 with spare card number 1 please.

[koopakid17]

The lovely Charlene will bring down Spare #1.

[koopakid17]

Putting $500 on the table. Is this card higher...

[ $2800]

$2,800. How do you feel about that ten?

[billmcdee]

Same as I did last time

Please change that with spare card 2 Kevin.

[koopakid17]

Had a feeling. Let's bring Spare #2 down.

...with a nine.

[billmcdee]

Well I'll just do the $100 minimum, will go against the odds and predict higher on the next card please.

[koopakid17]

Minimum bet on the nine and against the odds. Is it higher?

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][9 ♣][3 ♥][C*S][C*S]
[500][2 ♠][J ♠][4 ♥][___]

No.

*buzzer*

[ $1700]

That was bound to happen sometime. But now you have a much better card. $1,700 in your bank.

[billmcdee]

$1000 higher

[koopakid17]

Another thousand coming your way if this next card is higher...

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][9 ♣][3 ♥][K ♣][C*S]

Absolutely!

[ $2700]

Final call will be off a King. You have $2,700.

[billmcdee]

$1,000 lower.

[koopakid17]

Only a thousand on this next call. Is this lower?

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][9 ♣][3 ♥][K ♣][A.♣]
[500][2 ♠][J ♠][4 ♥][___]

Ooh, no!

*buzzer*

You held back for a good purpose. Look what we'll bring up to your final bet...

[B_B][A.♣][C*S]
[$1K][9 ♣][3 ♥][K ♣][___]
[500][2 ♠][J ♠][4 ♥][___]

I have you tell you anyway; you must bet at least $850 on that Ace.

[billmcdee]

I had a bad feeling about an Ace there, well all of it lower please.

[koopakid17]

Worst that can happen is a push. We want to see anything other than an Ace...

[B_B][A.♣][10♥]
[$1K][9 ♣][3 ♥][K ♣][___]
[500][2 ♠][J ♠][4 ♥][___]

There you go!

[ $3400]

[C 1][C 2][C 3][C 4][C 5][C 6][C 7][C 8][C 9][C10]

Just like last time, we have ten numbered cards. You'll use your Jokers to eliminate some bad cards. You have one for winning the game and two for the Jokers you turned during the game. Eliminate three of the bad cards.

*ding* *ding* *ding*

[C 1][C 2][C 3][C 4][C 5][C 6][C 7][C 8][C 9][C10]

Two, six and eight are gone. Which remaining number would you like?

[billmcdee]

I'll go with #4 in honor of Lou Gehrig
