Stuck getting an oil change and DoND is on the TV. Watching it play out, I can’t help but think that it’s rigged. They’re telling a story and feeding on the audience, with the player always winning despite the mathematical odds. It looks so fake. Has anyone ever looked into it?
It’s been well over a decade since I’ve seen the show, but I remember the banker would sometimes throw in exceptionally high/ low offers to add to the “drama”. Like they’d offer $2 after the contestant knocks out the million dollar case.
Yeah, I suppose the real answer is “what will make good TV without blowing the budget,” but I would just about bet the trendline for actual offers would be skimming a little bit below expected value.
