If only I swapped games with one of the other players. It's do or die now, as I'll have less than a 10% chance of reaching the target if another 0 comes up. $13,000 from UA Blue, please.

You're either going to be a hero or a bum after this one, but let's see is there $13,000 in the UA Blue ATM?
$13,000
That's a relief. How much was in that ATM?
$13,000
Are you kidding me? I guess not. Perfect pick!
Field Drab Olive Green Crimson Red Blue Blond Powder Blue Cal Poly Pomona Green Medium Spring Green Pale Brown Wisteria Carnation Pink Purple Taupe
--------- $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 $6,000 $7,000 ----------- $9,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $14,000 $15,000 $16,000 $17,000 --------- $19,000 ---------
1: $0 2: $10,000 3: $0 4: $0 5: $13,000 6: $13,000 7: $0 8: $13,000 9: 10:
Your Target: $67,000
Amount raised: $49,000 Amount needed for target: $18,000 Average: $9,000
Well, what are you going to do now that you have an even bigger gap? The question remains. Do you take a huge risk, knowing there are small numbers to trip you up, or do you take a small number to improve your odds for the final ATM?

The only mathematically sound options here are to go for $4,000 or $14,000.
I REALLY hope I don't regret this, but I'll ease off the gas for a moment and go for $4,000 from good old regular Blue.

I'm perfectly okay with that. One of the most dramatic picks ever happened when a lady hit $3 grand, then $16 grand. So let's check out the Blue ATM. Can we squeeze 4 grand out of that?
$4,000
That's the easy part. How much was in that ATM?
$6,000
If you were going to play it safe, that was the time to do it.
Field Drab Olive Green Crimson Red Blond Powder Blue Cal Poly Pomona Green Medium Spring Green Pale Brown Wisteria Carnation Pink Purple Taupe
--------- $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 ------------ $7,000 ----------- $9,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $14,000 $15,000 $16,000 $17,000 --------- $19,000 ---------
1: $0 2: $10,000 3: $0 4: $0 5: $13,000 6: $13,000 7: $0 8: $13,000 9: $4,000 10:
Your Target: $67,000
Amount raised: $53,000 Amount needed for target: $14,000 Average: $14,000
Well, it's not impossible. You have 5 ATM's that will give you your $67,000. There are six that won't. The odds are against you but like Han Solo said: "Never tell me the odds". Win or lose, you've put up a hell of a game. Think about what color speaks to you, and go for your final ATM and amount.

Well at least I won't have any regrets about not going for it.
$14,000 from Wisteria, please.

I like a person who is willing to give this another round. I have five envelopes and each has a different amount of money in them ranging from $50,000 to $80,000. You've seen what can happen.

A: $72,000 B: $51,000 C: $55,000 D: $74,000 E: $71,000
$51,000 seems doable but you never know with this game. Let's light up the ATM's!!

Post by manekineko on Jul 17, 2018 23:57:53 GMT -5
The first ATM you have chosen is Pale Green. It's a lovely color, I hope there's at least $8,000 in there. Is there at least $8,000?
$8,000
Holy crap. That's not good. How much was in that ATM?
$5,000
I actually like when people get low numbers off the bat. It takes them out of play and increases the odds of higher numbers coming later.
Straw Raspberry Glace Candy Pink Lavender Magenta Desert Sand Antique Fuchsia Orange Peel Ultramarine Light Coral Café noir Ultra Pink Field Drab Macaroni and Cheese Carnation pink Myrtle Pink Pearl Feldgrau Dark Jungle Green Light Thulian Pink
Get that *%($ing low number out of here!

Alright. That's a good thing to just go ahead and move over to the Myrtle ATM. Let's hope there's at least $9,000 in there. Is there?
$9,000
See that? You've got $9k! How much was in that ATM?
$11,000
$11,000? Not too bad a pick, eh?
Straw Raspberry Glace Candy Pink Lavender Magenta Desert Sand Antique Fuchsia Orange Peel Ultramarine Light Coral Café noir Ultra Pink Field Drab Macaroni and Cheese Carnation pink Pink Pearl Feldgrau Dark Jungle Green Light Thulian Pink
Your mid-pick leaves a big block of high numbers!

1: $0 2: $9,000 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10:
Your Target: $51,000
Amount raised: $9,000 Amount needed for target: $42,000 Average: $5,250
and just like that, your average is down to $5,250. We have lotsa ATM's left so pick your 3rd ATM and amount.
