Deal or No Deal (who saw it!)
Please tell me someone else saw D or no D tonight. I don't normally watch it but caught the end of the game. I've never laughed so hard at someone taking such a bad deal. I don't care how much your family needs the money, to deal from that position of strength was mathematical suicide as his expectation was soooooo much higher! Also the chances of him failing to be offered more by continuing were extremely low. LOL!!!
I tried to explain it to the wife as she doesn't get the game. It's like someone saying I'll give you £1k for free OR we can do a coin flip and if you win you get £10k...lose, you get nothing. I don't care how bad your financial pearl is turning down the flip is super-stupid as it has 5x the expectation of taking the safe money.

There are some proper tools on it these days.
Because they can't raise the money for the prizes through the premium rate lines anymore they only have certain kind of people on that will ensure they never have to give away large amounts.
These are
Students
Scum/chav types who have never seen more than a grand in their lives
OAPS
None of the above will ever have the ***** to risk losing anymore than a few grand so they always deal at stupidly low amounts.

No idea what goldenballs is but what you describe sounds like the prisoners dilemma. If so, playing 'take' is mathematically optimal unless you have a 100% trust scenario (such as between sara and whatsherchops on BB)
