You know how to make an exit, I'll grant you that. But is the Chartreuse ATM the way for you to pull victory out of the jaws of defeat? Is it worth $17,000?
$17,000
I am so sorry. How much was in that ATM?
$4,000
You gave it a hell of a run. Just out of curiosity, what were the amounts in the other ATM's?
$3,000 $16,000 $11,000 $6,000 $2,000 $20,000 $18,000 $10,000 $12,000 $14,000
--------- $2,000 $3,000 ------ ------ $6,000 ------ ------ ------ $10,000 $11,000 $12,000 -------- $14,000 -------- $16,000 -------- $18,000 -------- $20,000
1: $0 2: $7,000 3: $7,000 4: $7,000 5: $7,000 6: $7,000 7: $0 8: $0 9: $10,000 10: $0
Your Target: $62,000
Amount raised: $45,000
I had a feeling when you kept going for sevens that somehow it wouldn't be that easy to win. But you will get 10% of whatever you did manage to bank, so you do get $4,500 and our thanks here on The Colour of Money[/b].
The game is now open for the next contestant! No amount is safe, I can tell you that.

I'll play!
I'll start by picking Envelope E and then taking the first color alphabetically for $8,000 regardless of what the envelope contains.

Let's hope I'll be saying IT'S OVER 9,000 after I withdraw $10,000 from Electric Indigo.

What, over 9,000, there's no way that can be right?! As they would say on another short-lived British game show, The Bank Job, I'm going to get rich and get out. I'll take advantage of that gap in the numbers and go for $13,000 from Pastel Brown, please.

I like a guy who takes a chance! Let's go to the Pastel Brown ATM and please ask if $13k is in that one.... C'mon!
$13,000
Oh man, what was in that ATM?
$11,000
You just took a little too much of a chance.

Second time trying for $13 grand, this time out of the Seal Brown ATM. C'mon.... $13,000?
$13,000
Ooof, that is not good. How much was in that ATM?
$10,000
You seem to pick well, but just not well enough.

Good grief. This is one of the rare occasions where the normal "pick amounts around the average" strategy would be paying off but my slightly more agressive approach makes me look like a greedy idiot. $13,000 from Dark Violet, PLEASE!

Let's see a nice rebounding with the Dark Violet ATM. C'mon... please. For all that is good, $13,000 in that ATM?

That gap on the board is too big for a mathematical person like me to resist. $13,000 again, please. And since everything is bigger in Texas, I'll go for North Texas Green.

This is almost a must-win situation for you with the North Texas Green ATM. I hope for your sake, you are right. Is there $13,000 in that ATM?
$13,000
You're doing good. out of curiosity, how much was in that ATM?
$20,000

An average of $7,750 is interesting. It's just high enough that you can take a chance but low enough that you can play it safe. Your 7th ATM and amount will be critical, I think.

This is really tricky, but again the standard "go for the average rounded up" strategy feels silly from a mathematical standpoint as one slip-up will pretty much force me to play super agressively. Then again, continuing with my strategy up to this point also feels silly as I only have a 3 out of 7 chance of selecting a $13,000+ amount.
You know what, I'm not going to beat around the bush. $13,000 from Dark Powder Blue, please!

No harm in giving it a try, amirite? Let's pay attention now to the Dark Powder Blue ATM. Is there at least $13,000 in there?
$13,000
Oh that's not very good. How much was in that ATM?
$8,000
I'll tell you, some days it just doesn't pay to battle like that.

Well, gee, you were saying about playing it aggressively if you got another zero. The question is: Are you going to try for it with your 8th ATM and amount?
