Lower than the Queen?

A Jack!

Lower

Lower than the Jack...

[6 ♠][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

*ding*

It's a two!

[billmcdee]

I reckon I'll go for it and predict higher (still higher if a Joker turns up)

[koopakid17]

If it's higher, you're the champ once more...

You are!

Another job well done for Bill McDee. You'll go back to the Money Cards. Nels, we hate to say it, but we must wish you goodbye. We have some lovely parting gifts backstage for you.

Bill, come right out. We'll prepare you for the Money Cards during the break. We'll be right back!

[koopakid17]

Bill McDee returns to the Money Cards, having already won $67,665. Here's how we do this thing.

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

We give you $1,500 to make three calls each on the first two rows: $500 on the bottom and $1,000 on the middle. Minimum bets for those are $100. At the Big Bet up on top, you must wager at least half your pot. You can make one change per level with either of the three Spare Cards.

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

Load Bill up with another $500.

[  $500]

*ding*

You could turn that into $80,000. You start with...

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
[500][6 ♦][C*S][C*S][C*S]

A six.

[billmcdee]

Let's change that with spare card #1 please.

[koopakid17]

Okay. Here's Spare #1.

Thank you, Charlene.

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

You'll instead begin with...

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

...a King!

[koopakid17]

Letting everybody know that this show is still on. It depends on how Bill McDee is doing. I'll post an update after I return from vacation next Monday.

[billmcdee]

I am back, and I'll bet it all lower Kevin for when you return.

[koopakid17]

Going for it right away. All, nothing or a push that this next card his higher?

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][___][C*S][C*S][C*S]
[500][K ♦][A.♦][C*S][C*S]

Oh no!

*buzzer*

[ BUST ]

Aw man, Bill, the wait just wasn't worth it for you at all. If there's one thing to take out of it, you have a terrific card for your next play. We skip right to the middle row.

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][A.♦][C*S][C*S][C*S]
[500][K ♦][___][C*S][C*S]

And we'll spot you some more betting money. Here's a thousand.

[ $1000]

*ding*

You can bet any or all of it on that Ace.

[billmcdee]

Somehow I knew that was going to happen.

Well, in for a penny in for a pound, all of it lower please.

[koopakid17]

Now the worst that can happen is a push. We want it to be higher...

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][A.♦][7 ♠][C*S][C*S]
[500][K ♦][___][C*S][C*S]

*ding*

It is!

[ $2000]

$2,000 and a seven, Bill.

[billmcdee]

Let's swap that out with card #2 please.

[koopakid17]

Charlene will bring down your second spare.

You continue your Money Cards with...

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][A.♦][6 ♠][C*S][C*S]
[500][K ♦][___][C*S][C*S]

...a six.

[billmcdee]

I'll just do $100 higher.

[koopakid17]

Only $100 on a six. Is it higher?

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][A.♦][6 ♠][8 ♦][C*S]
[500][K ♦][___][C*S][C*S]

*ding*

Yeah!

[ $2100]

Final call of this row, and it must come off that eight.

[billmcdee]

Egad $100 lower.

[koopakid17]

Last time you can bet that. For another $100, is it lower than the eight?

[B_B][___][C*S]
[$1K][A.♦][6 ♠][8 ♦][4 ♠]
[500][K ♦][___][C*S][C*S]

*ding*

Yes, it is!

[ $2200]

You have $2,200 for your Big Bet. I'll move the four on up.

[B_B][4 ♠][C*S]
[$1K][A.♦][6 ♠][8 ♦][C*S]
[500][K ♦][___][C*S][C*S]

You can keep it or use a spare. However, you must risk at least $1,100 here.

[billmcdee]

I think that 4 is a good omen.  I'll bet it all, $2,200 higher, hoping that 4 will mean "44" hundred more for me.

[koopakid17]

Going for it on a four. Double, a push or nothing that this next card is higher?

[B_B][4 ♠][4 ♣]
[$1K][A.♦][6 ♠][8 ♦][C*S]
[500][K ♦][___][C*S][C*S]

Another four!

[ $2200]

You end the Money Cards with $2,200. Think of it this way. It could have been a whole lot worse. You can still end this episode on a high note. Jim, how so?

There are the ten numbered cards. Only one of them has the word car. You won't choose from all ten. We'll eliminate some bad cards depending on how many Jokers you had. You didn't turn any in your deck, but you have two because this is your second time going for this car. We'll remove...

*ding* *ding*

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

Two and four. Which remaining card would you like?

[billmcdee]

Much as we do not like seeing them during the game itself, let's see if card 8 is a good one this time.

[koopakid17]

We'll light number eight in red.

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

If the car is there, then you'll have won your second car...

[NO ][NO ][NO ][NO ][CAR][NO ][NO ][NO ][NO ][NO ]

*buzzer*

It wasn't there, I'm sorry. You should have picked five. You're still coming back tomorrow with $69,865 cash and prizes. We hope you at home will tune in as well. See you next time on Card Sharks!
