'Press Your Luck' Scandal on GameShow Network right now...

[pshreck]

Im halfway drunk and watching this show. Really quite interesting (this guy is apparently manipulating a game show board that is supposed to be totally random). On from 9 to 11 EST so you can still catch some of it.

Yeah, it's old... think it was originally on like a year ago. Quite interesting to watch though.

If I remember correctly, he didn't manipulate anything. He just picked up on the pattern.

edit: well, I suppose he was manipulating the board based on that pattern. When I first read it, I was thinking of manipulating in a cheating sense, which it wasn't. Regardless, it was a neat story.

Yea, I believe it was a plumber who figured out the pattern so he could hit the "big money" thing every time. He won like 80 grand, I think.

[Leo99]

Watch the end when they have old contestants on and they teach them how he manipulated the board. The woman is such a btch.

It's a good story/show.

I would have loved to watch this. But, I just discovered that GSN moved from normal cable to a extra pay digital cable tier.

He won $110,237 in 1984.

he came close to hitting a whammy accidentally nearing the end too, but he got lucky.

Yeah... from reading about what a craphole of a life he lead after this show, it's almost sad he didn't hit this wammy.
